Virion & Inigo Supports
Chapter 4: The Future Past Support
Virion ran through the wasteland battlefield. He had been summoned there with his wife Olivia but had lost track of her. In the distance he noticed a familiar mercenary. "Inigo! You are safe!" The archer shouted, running up to him, pulling him into a hug.
The mercenary eyed him oddly. "Huh? I know your face... This isn't possible!" Realization had hit Inigo. It was his father.
The Duke of Rosanne posed elegantly. "Anything is possible for Virion, Fatherest of Fathers. My son, I have come from another world to rescue you." He said, Inigo looking confused.
"Um...another world?" He questioned. Virion nodded.
"Yes. While I no doubt remind you of your father's magnificence, I am not, in fact, him. Allow me to applaud you, my boy, for that gesture by the bridge." He applauded his future son.
"Y-you were watching?" Inigo shouted with a light blush.
"As heir to the great House Virion, your deeds can only be called exemplary. What could be more noble than putting yourself under fire to protect your charges? Your actions deserve the highest praise. However...as your father, I must ask you: What in blazes were you thinking?" He went from elegance to scolding in the snap of a finger. Taking Inigo by surprise.
"Huh? But I—"
"You could have gotten yourself killed. I can imagine no greater pain than outliving my own child. If I had been forced to watch you die... Ugh. Let us say it would have taken a few years off my life. Never give your father such a scare, Inigo! It is far too cruel!" Virion continued to scold.
Inigo took his words to heart, looking away before speaking. "I'm sorry... I was scared too. I told Owain that we'd all make it—that together we could win. But deep down, I knew this might end up being my final resting place. As each blade clanged like a death knell, I wondered whether the end would hurt... I've never been so scared in my life." He was on the verge of tears. His son was about to cry. His son was shaking.
"Well...everything will be all right. You will see. Look at you, poor thing... You are shaking." He noticed his boys actions.
"I can't help it... But I feel a little better now. Seeing your face has given me a renewed sense of hope." Inigo began to smile, Virion along with him.
"Then let us fight together! Any who wish you harm shall fall before the Fatherest of Fathers! ...And the Sunniest of Sons, of course." Virion said to Inigo proudly. The mercenary chuckled, giving him a warm smile.
"Thank you, Father. I'll fight hard too. It's my turn to keep you safe." Inigo drew his Silver Sword and Virion his Silver Bow. The two ran into battle. Father and son fighting together.
That is it for the Virion/Inigo Support novelization. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.
