This chapter will tell you a little bit more about Ike, since I feal I'm making him too mysterious. Enjoy.
Ike's Dream
"Are you serious? Pharae? I would have never guessed!" Marth exlaimed as he jotted down the answer. It had been the better part of a week since Roy agreed to help them, and they hadn't learned anything about him at all! It turned out Ike had vast knowledge of dragons too, so Marth suspected Roy was a little doubtful. Not only that, but Ike didn't seem to like Roy. It unnerved him.
"Okay. So what about when the Aritian kingdom first got the sacred stones? How did they come across them?' Zelda focused on her work. She didn't see anything unusual about him.
"I believe they were visiting Renais when the head priest mentioned it. The Aritian royalty is said to be immune to most magic and noticed something that didn't add up." Roy said very carefully. Why was he so cautious about Aritia?
"Hey, didn't the Aritians have another name too?" Marth asked.
"Yes. The country of Aritia is also known as 'Altea'. That is how it would be referred to in this country." Roy said.
"Interesting." Marth seemed to be really facinated by this. Then again, if he WAS from that bloodline, he was destined to be a part of it. Ike thought of a few possibilites. He himself was a part of that prophecy too.
"I must go." Ike said. Roy had a very...destructive presence and he had to find out why. He'd borrow his father's books.
Could Roy have placed a spell to blend in? He'd have to call Soren and ask if there was such a spell. Ike had a bad feeling that it was about time for the Griel Mercenaries to show up again, but how would he get them in without suspicion? He could invite Titania over and claim she needed work. Oscar, Boyd, and Rolf could pose as her children. Sothe had to stay in Crimea to protect queen Elincia, so he was out. Griel, Ike's father, had fallen in battle. His teacher just happened to have the same name, somehow. Mia would be difficult to contact as she was traveling to keep cover, and keep an eye on things. Shinon would demand huge sums of gold, seeing as he would have to give very specific details to the mission. If the prophecy was to be believed, Ike would have to escort the Aritian hier, which so far seemed to be Marth. By the look of things, it was going to happen soon too. Rhys was already in town undercover as a doctor, he'd have to convince Marth too see him before the prophecy started.
"Ike! Is it okay if I invite Toon over? We have an art project that we'd like to work on together." Mist, Ike's ten-year-old sister, slightly startled Ike, who had thought she was still helping Ness at school, causing him to reach for one of the weapons hidden around the house.
"..." Mist turned the corner to see Ike with his hand on Ragnell.
"..."
"...Yes." Ike decided to break the awkward silence that had settled with one word, as usual.
"Thanks, ike!" Mist hugged him and ran off.
"...Just don't let him in my room." Why is she so hyper? Wait, wasn't Ragnell in my room? I've got to figure out how I do that.
That night, after walking Toon home and bidding Link farewell, he practically fell on his bed. Looking to his right, he saw a picture on his night stand. It depicted his friends, minus his mercenary team, when they were still in middle school. Back then, Marth was just a job to him, but now they have actually become friends. Marth had found his way into Ike's dreams. Now he wanted badly to tell them all about his secret life. He wanted to be welcome in Aritia while Marth was the king. He wanted them to meet his team. He wanted them to forgive him, too, when they found out. With these thoughts, he fell asleep to dream about ALL his friends, including Roy. Momentarily forgetting his problems.
