(Adrestian Empire)
Damascus stood in front of the Black Eagles, he leaned on Corvus slightly before he tapped the glaive on the floor.
"So…" One of the 7 other Eagles said while Damascus turned to look at him.
"I am Damascus, your leader recruited me to be one of the Black Eagles… I don't know what to say, I am a warrior, talking isn't my strong suit." Damascus said, he cleared his throat.
He shifted lightly on his feet, he enjoyed combat, it was what he knew. He believed that warriors who fought for what they wanted were noble.
He still didn't mean to offend the other warriors; they hadn't done anything to him.
"I am sorry I do not have much to say, I will say more if I think of it… What are your names?" Damascus said, he turned to look at Edelgard, the gleam in her eyes told him that she was planning something.
She reminded him just like the bird the house was named after…. Cunning, ruthless, dedicated to what she wanted.
"I am Hubert Von Vestra, I am Ms. Hresvelg's vassal." Said a black-haired man with a sword and blue eyes.
Damascus didn't like him, his entire demeanor seemed similar to a tiger, ready to pounce.
Damascus turned his head to look at a girl with amethyst hair and grey eyes, Edelgard spoke for her.
"That is Bernadetta Von Varley." Edelgard said while Damascus turned his head slightly.
It wasn't out of disgust, the girl was scared, frightened, he was a warrior clad in armor. He disliked cowards, but the girl was scared of something else.
"I'm Dorothea Arnault, pleased to meet you." Said a woman with brown hair and green eyes.
Damascus shifted uneasily on his feet, he didn't like the voice the girl used and she didn't look like a warrior… Then again, neither did his sister…
"I'm Caspar Von Bergliez, as long as you can keep up, we're be fine." He heard from a blue haired man with blue eyes.
He chuckled and tapped his lance on the ground. He knew the man wanted a fight. He was eager to see how his
"Only if you can actually fight then… Trust me, I'll show you a fight when we get to the battlefield." He said, the Eagles blinked at his words while Caspar smirked.
He turned to look at the man with orange hair and same color eyes.
"I'm Ferdinand von Aegir, soon to be better than our glorious leader." Ferdinand said before Damascus leaned on Corvus.
"Rank and prestige shouldn't come before lives… Just remember that when we're fighting." Damascus hissed, he had a feeling they wouldn't get along, not if he wanted to compete with others.
Caspar made sense, he wanted a fight, Damascus could respect that… Not competing with the chain of command unless he had to.
He cracked his arms and then neck and turned to look to the next member of the group.
"I'm Linhardt Von Hevring." Said a man with green hair and blue eyes, Damascus turned to look at Edelgard.
"I feel like the odd man out… Considering the fact that my middle name isn't 'Von'." He joked; he got a few chuckles before he turned back to look at the other Eagle.
He knew he might not like Linhardt, the way he talked didn't speak of a warrior, it spoke of a very… Lazy person.
"I'm Petra Macneary, nice to meet you." Said a pink haired woman with pink purple eyes.
Damascus couldn't get a read on Petra, he didn't hate her, he hated his enemy. He did like to know more about people, it made it easier to read them if he knew more about them… But that would come soon enough, and he didn't want to give off the impression that he hated them.
Besides the ones he didn't like, he would make it clear that he didn't like them.
"This is… Not a good silence." He heard from Caspar before Damascus turned to him.
"Like I said, I don't know what to say… Do I look like someone who's used to talking?" He joked with amusement; Caspar turned to Edelgard.
"I like him. I'm still going to outfight him." Caspar said while Damascus chuckled.
"We're going to get along fine, if you can keep up with me… I'm not a warrior known for giving up…. I don't retreat, I stand, I do not regroup, I push forward… Hmm." Damascus said before he turned to Edelgard.
"You said my sister is involved in this… Did you tell them anything else about me besides that I'm a hulking warrior clad in battle armor and carrying a glaive?" He asked before he flipped the switch and Corvus retracted to a baton like form.
"I am called the 'Lord of Death' for a good reason." He stated.
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter done! I want to point out that the first 10 chapters will be 900 words. I also want to point out that this story is taking the route of the Crimson Flower kind of. Next chapter will be on Sunday and will show Edelgard and Damascus talking and discussing their first move. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
