"Drop your weapon or die where you stand!" Chrom, the Exalt-in-line of Ylisse exclaimed, as he rushed the ginger thief, swinging the Falchion.
"Woah! Easy there, Blue! I'm not here to kill anybody." Gaius said, ducking and rolling behind Chrom's slash.
"...Yet you run with a band of assassins?!" Chrom asked, diebelief spreading over his face, as he began to slash again.
"Look," started Gaius, "I was told we were here to crack some vault open. I'm a thief, see? Steal things, bust open safes, stuff like that. Nobody informed me about murder. I'd just as soon sit this one out." he said, as he just barely managed to roll out of the way of the swing, losing a few hairs in the process.
"Huh..." Chrom said, stopping his assault for now, "Perhaps you would like to prove your intentions?"
"Beg pardon?"
"Why don't you aid us in removing these men from the castle?"
"Oh, I see how it is. Fine, I'll help. If you sweeten the deal."
"You want gold? Fine, name your pr- whoops."
"Hey, you dropped something, Blue. What'cha got?" Gaius said. He was unsure, but he could've sworn he was smelling candy.
"Just a bag of candy from my sister-"
"You mean sugar candies?" the candy-craving thief interrupted.
"Uh... I imagine they'd be sweet?" Chrom asked, confused.
"IT'S A DEAL!"
"You'll... you'll risk your life for some candy?"
"I'll take the gold too, but later. You got any more of these?!"
"Uh... I'll ask Lissa." Chrom said, letting his guard down momentarily.
"Sweet. Hey, watch ou-" Gaius exclaimed, cut off by an "Elfire!" shout from behind Chrom, causing the assassin that was about to strike Chrom to become a ball of flame, incinerating him. It must be a terrible way to go, but it was for the Exalt...
"Watch out, Chrom!" shouted a long, white-haired Tactician, slashing a steel sword at another fighter.
"R-right, thanks!" Chrom said, raising his sword and slashing down another man. Gaius whistled, impressed with her.
"Hey, Blue," he asked, apologizing sarcastically to a thief he had slashed down. "who's the hottie over there?"
"Who, Robin? She's our tactician. Wields magic and swords. Amazing, right?"
"Yeah," Gaius said, keeping an eye on her for now, "in more ways than one."
At that, Chrom turned red, realizing what he meant. "I would prefer it if you were to not speak about her that way."
Gaius cracked a grin. "What, you got a thing for her or what?" Gaius said, making his voice loud on purpose so Robin could hear. Chrom flushed a darker red, as Robin turned her head to listen.
"N-no! She just... it's weird to think of a friend like that. Very bizarre..." Chrom said, earning a response from Robin, who had sliced another man down.
"Oh please, it's not like you haven't... SEEN me before!" she shouted, giggling slightly. Gaius whistled in envy now.
"Lucky you. Must've been sweet." he said, slashing one of the last assassins, the waves thinning out.
"Sh-shut up!" Chrom said, as Valdiar yelled at them, frustrated with his loss.
End, I suppose.
Well, chapter 1. I did this a while ago, posted it, then deleted it, and here it is again.
I know people kinda are more excited for Fates now more then Awakening, but this is kind of in response to it, in a way?
Yeah, seems about right.
It's mostly dialogue, but that's kind of setting it up.
ALSO I am aware that I write short chapters. It's how I roll, a taste here or there.
I guess I'll do the regular thing of asking for any review or comments or anything, negative or positive. If you were here before I deleted this, you may remember the one review that kind of shut me up, but I'm over dat now.
So I hope you enjoyed, even though it was basically ripped from the game, and I swear chapter 2 will be more original, and more as the story goes on.
