Fire Emblem on the Forums: Sea of Crossroads [IC]

[Anstane]

 

Darius looks over and sees the captain and one of his allies engaged in a battle against a Myrmidon who has holed up inside a forest. Seeing on other hostiles in the area, he decided to help them out, especially after noting that Idei missed with his arrow. He moved over to a good position and, deciding against wasting any extra words, proceeded to open his spell tome.

 

Alright, spirits...co-operate with me... he thought to himself as he chanted the ancient inscriptions.

 

Move to J7 and (try to) strike at Myrmidon 3.

[Aurorix]

Seeing as most of the remaining bandits were out of the range of his allies, maybe he could bait them in a bit. He should be able dodge at least a couple of their attacks. Though him being the bait for others? Talk about a coincidence. He went into a relatively open space and yelled to get the enemy's attention.\

 

"Hey, you bandits couldn't hit a target five feet in front of you and I've seen children more threatening then the whole lot of you!"

 

Move to E12

[InnocentSerenity]

“Nice job, maties!” Karik ran past Idei and Darius, heading towards the river to the south. Taking a position past the trees, Karik waved back to his allies. “C’mon, we gotta cross the river soon!”

Karik took a glance to see Idei’s horse. The river nearby came to mind, and while it wasn't very wide, it would still cause trouble for the horse rider. “Hey, Idei.” Karik looked towards the man atop the horse. “Is yer horse gonna be okay getting past the river?”

 

Move to K6 and hold!

[rokubiraijuu]

Irritated with his miss, he tsks under his breath, scowling slightly. Not a beat later though, dark magic envelops the myrmidon and downs him silently, and Idei turns to see their shaman drawing up beside him, the remnants of magic fading from his tome. "Thank you," he says with a sigh; he shouldn't had to have relied on allies to clean up his targets for him, but he knows he still has a long way to go before becoming a master marksman like his father.

 

A call draws his attention and he turns to face the boy, eyebrows lifted -- to be honest, he's surprised he remembered his name. Shifting his gaze down to Kite, Idei spurs him into a careful trot closer to the river's edge to take a closer look. Almost immediately, Kite's ears press back towards the top of his head and his steps become more resistant. As they pause nearby, the stallion skitters back from the water's edge, stamping in agitation and snorting softly. "He'll have to be," Idei says, combing his fingers through the long, dark mane. "I trust he'll do it; he's brave, and proud." There looks to be one of the men waiting for them across the shallow river path, and Idei suspects he'll be coming for them as soon as he realizes they're within his sights. "You've fought well for someone who's never seen battle before," he says to Karik. "It's hard to believe. In my tribe, all boys are taught to fire an arrow from the time they can ride."

 

Canto to K5.

Edited December 22, 2016 by rokubiraijuu

[InnocentSerenity]

Karik reached towards Kite, careful to not disturb the creature as he put his hand through the horse’s mane. “Calm down there... horsie.” The Pirate tried to remember the horse’s name, simply just hoping Idei wouldn’t catch him. “Aye bet ya I can can carry ya across the river, ya majestic little landlubber.” Karik covered his mouth with his left hand as he let out a giggle. “Would ya like that?”

"In my tribe, all boys are taught to fire an arrow from the time they can ride."

Karik straightened himself out, his torso leaned forward slightly as he spoke. “Well, no wonder ye’re such a good shot. Ye just point at an enemy and they're down quickly. Ya got some pretty amazin’ accuracy.” Karik tried not to bring up the little miss. Happens to him more than any of the others. "Darn axes have to be heavier than yer fancy thin poles.” "Aye bet you got a story with learning that bow. Anythin'?”

[Sutoratosu]

She flicked the blood off the worn blade as the bandit fell dead, spattering the man's face with flecks of his own crimson to match what he was losing on the ground.

       "One..." She whispered as if speaking to herself and herself alone, as she stepped over the body, daring not sheath the sword- for there were still others about, and this blade would require far more lifestuff from the wicked, for it's baptism of blood to finally be complete and it's past sins truly cleansed. And more, it would most definitely drink... all she had to do was wait for the rogue to draw them out. Yes, yes, if she just stayed by the bend of the road and didn't interfere, their time would come soon enough.

 

Move to G11, hold

[rokubiraijuu]

Much to Idei's surprise, the stallion neither shies away nor acts aggressive to the boy's touch, simply standing still and letting the stranger's hand through his mane. It's almost unbelievable, given his usual wary temperament. Even when he had been growing up in near-constant contact with his uncle's herd, Kite would hardly let him come close for years. It was an honor, not only due to tradition, but also personal achievement, when he was finally able to ride the unruly animal. At his words, Kite simply snorts again -- perfectly timed, as though to scorn the idea that he should need to be carried -- and Idei huffs softly in amusement. If there's any way to get Kite to do something, it's to indicate there's a chip on his pride if he doesn't; he recalls how, when they had first arrived in Veritias, he would only eat the unfamiliar oats once he saw that the other horses were getting his untouched share if he didn't.

 

"I'm . . . not sure about that," he replies, a little subdued and caught off guard by the praise. Karik's is a response he's not used to, and Idei hopes he hadn't unintentionally sounded like he'd been boasting. 

 

A story? . . . Nothing terribly different from what every boy in his tribe goes through. But he supposes that any of that is foreign enough to those outside of the sands that it would be worth a story. "Well . . . when I was just learning the bow, I accidentally shot one of the horses once." He winces. "Just on the flank, and the practice arrows are blunted and wrapped in cloth. No harm done, but that horse hasn't liked me since." It's not much of a story, but he's never been great at telling them. Turning his attention back to the boy, he returns the question with one of his own: "You said you want to go back to Veritias. Is your family there?"

[Pyon Pyon Kyuu!~]

Now Emilee is close to Mandatte, using her staff to heal his wounds. "Alright captain, your wounds are all better now!" She smiles gleefully. Emilee looks around herself at the enemies with raised weapons and suddenly her smile disappears. It's hard to keep cheerful in a situation like this, but she still did. "Hey captain mind if I ask you a question? Why do you think people are evil? Why do you think these bandits are attacking us?" Emilee says as she looks at the orb of her staff as if the answer might be hidden somewhere in the magical device. 

 

Move to I6, and heal Mandatte 

[Zetaark]

"Asking a question like that is a bit difficult for someone like me. I can't claim to know why people become evil. Perhaps they had a hard life, or perhaps they were just vengeful. I couldn't say. As for these bandits, I think they're just out for a quick sum of money at our expense. Money is always a good way to start feuds..." Madante trails off, seeming to recall something before shaking his head. 

 

"At any rate, I thank you for the healing, and I hope I answered your question enough."

[Pyon Pyon Kyuu!~]

Emilee shook her head. "That's not a good answer at all... I've needed money in the past and I worked hard for it!"  She closed her hands into a fist as she looked up dramatically. She then relaxed them afterwards. "Sorry if the question was weird. I thought you might have a good answer since you are our Captain after all."

 

[InnocentSerenity]

Karik tried to stifle his laughter, looking away for a bit as the Archer told his story. “Well, at least ya learned from yer mistake, mate.” Calming his laughter, Karik answered Idei’s question.

“Well yeah.” Karik pointed his gaze in the direction he assumed to be northwest. Sadly, it turned out to be southeast. “Aye’ve got some people waiting for me back in Versidia.” Karik looked at the axe to his side, raising it up to his waist. He toyed around with the flat, circular decoration at the base of the blade. “This be called a blade, aye?” Looking at it only made him want to get this battle over with quick.

 

“But Aye’ll be gettin’ back there soon.” Karik swung his axe over his shoulder. “I trust our little crew. I’ll be getting home to see the people back home.” Karik spun himself around, facing the river to the south.

[rokubiraijuu]

Karik's shift in tone is enough for Idei to understand what he must be feeling. Maybe the boy's journey and circumstances are different from his own, but there's at least one thing he can comprehend. As he also turns to return his attention to the remainder of the bandits waiting for them across the river, he feels a certainty settle somewhere inside him. "I, too, am only here because I've . . . lost sight of my home." 

 

Yells and screams drowned out by the roar of sand and wind. The terrifying sensation of being utterly alone for the first time, surrounded by vast emptiness, and not knowing whether there would ever be a where or whom to which he could return . . . it feels like yesterday. And even now, he trembles to think about the possibilities.

 

"One day, I will find my way back. But first, I'll help you."

[Zetaark]

"It's fine, really. I guess I've just had my own experiences involving money. None of them particularly pleasant. But I won't weigh your minds with matters like that, we have a destination to reach and I intend to get us there!" Madante finished, trying to regain his cheerful tone.

[Raindrop Valkyrie]

One good thing did come of Rayne's ability? to zone out during battle. She could take a look at the larger picture all the while she was still fighting. A strange thing but one that made sense. Even if she wasn't paying attention to her immediate surroundings she was paying attention. It was easy to analyze one's surroundings when doing so.

 

"Beau, we should go and thin out the enemies over there. We aren't going to exactly break through the center there. We need to flank them. I'm sure the others are thinking of this plan too! But, the more angles we flank them from the easier they should be to dislodge right? I think that's how it works. Let's go!"

The sounds of the battle nearby reach Emilee's ears. She gasps as she watches a companion fall to the ground from the damage of the enemy's attacks. "Excuse me Captain," She says as she runs off to the rescue. If glares could kill, the glares she made at the enemies surrounding Candence would be fatal. Without a word she lays her staff on Candece and heals the fencer as best she can. When Candence can stand again Emilee extends her hand. "Come on get up; you need to show these fuc..." She covers her mouth with her hand, stopping whatever foul word she was about to use. Emilee clears her throat and continues "These BANDITS who's boss!"

Darius flinched when he saw Cadence being struck down by one of the brigands, a lance-user. His face grimmed as he walked forward, even after he saw Emilee heal the fencer up, stepping onto the dirt road as he turned to face the soldier.

"You are going to regret doing that...I am not going to let you get away with it!" Darius shouts out as he commands the elder spirits to strike.

Catching sight of the their mage rushing off out of the corner of his eye, Idei turns to see the chaos unfolding further back on the field. Their healer is crouched on the ground, the glow of her staff visible even from this distance, and in front of her, difficult to see even for him, surrounded by enemies as she is, he can make out the crimson of the fencer's hair. 

 

" -- I need to go help," he says quickly to Karik; though their intention had initially been to cross the land bridge, he feels he's needed with the others, and no Nayavu abandons their friends and sets out on their own. Pulling on Kite's reins, he spins the stallion about and urges him into a fast gallop to cover the distance as swiftly as he can. Gripping hard with both legs, he removes another arrow and notches it, lips pursed as they draw close to the fray.

 

Move to H9 and feather Soldier 1.

Glancing over to his red haired comrade Belros was astonished that she was gravely injured. Luckily Emilee was already tending to her wounds but he was not going to let another comrade die. While he leaves the wound tending to Emilee, it's his job to get rid of the bandits still threatening them. Looking towards the archer he grabs his dagger and rushes towards him.

"So long as I stand I won't let you kill anyone! You got that you scum?"

"Cadence"

 

The voice was all that broke the silence, within the spreading darkness encroaching her vision. Not even an instant after that glorified lumberman had gotten a lucky strike, there was yet another come to steal the kill, only there in a fleeting glimpse of shabby armor- to think though... to be struck down by a mere duo of criminal scum, working together to accomplish what they had both been so unable of achieving on their own... yes a single ragged and diseased Mutt was incapable of destroying a Lion, but together... together even scum could make names for themselves, rise above their innate mediocrity if even for only a brief moment to escape the slums and bask in the radiance of the sun.

     A Radiance she'd known all too well. A Radiance she knew would eventually burn these rats, all of them, just as it had her- for the light, despite whatever demented dribble it's supporters spouted of it's holiness and benevolence, was nothing but a rabid beast to be used and twisted to one's own agenda, regardless if it be for the greatest possible good or most selfish personal gain. Just as wild and neutral as the darkness, if not even more so. And that was perhaps the greatest solace she took as the last of her life waned- that for all their cowardly teamwork, their only reward in the end would be suffering.

 

"Cadence... wake up."

 

 Even as she faded away, the Fencer focused on it, was almost drawn to it, as again it spoke. 

 

 

"C'mon, you can't be that sick. Stop your faking already"

"...I never did like drills... always tried to come up with some way to get out of it... and like clockwork, you would mess it up. Every single time..." Yet another one though. Tied to another presence within the darkness.

 

"I feel for you, I do... they're riding you harder than they ever did me. Just kinda wish... I dunno, that I could take your place sometimes...I mean, you're only in this mess because I failed. And what they're asking isn't something the youngest should have to bare anyway."

"Yeah, well you obviously never felt bad enough to ever do anything beyond talk the talk. Seems you were perfectly fine watching me suffer for your mistakes, regardless what you claimed."

 

"I don't see why you complain so much, you impudent brat. This is the way of our house, as it's been for generations; if you'd just stop constantly fighting it like a little jackass, things would go much easier for you!"

"...I could never tell whether you actually hated me, or were just always too much of a self-validated Vixen to even listen. Maybe it was always a bit of both, in the end."

 

"Pathetic. Simply Pathetic. I've made four of you, and this is the best any of you can do? Do you think weakness befits a defender of this house, girl? Again! We continue until you finally do something right!"

"...the Household, the Family Name, Honor, Respect, Blessings and Rites... so many arbitrary and fleeting things you were willing to make great sacrifices to uphold. But to what lengths did you ever go for my sake, for any of us? Nothing... you cared more about some legacy and righting your own failings than you ever did your children. And what you did to him just further proves it, beast."

 

"I... am sorry it came down to you and you alone, Cadence. But you're the only one among us who can provide what is needed. Life is not fair, I'm afraid... we all must make sacrifices at some point, no matter how much we cling to what we have... or how big a price is demanded when the time comes."

"...Once, you were a living legend to me. But now you're nothing but a sad old man, doomed to forever reminisce about the life you could've had, even as this one draws to a close. You're no hero. Just an old myth who's outlived all his believers. You had the power to lift a hand and stop this pointless nonsense at a single moments notice, and not once, for any of us, did you bother to do it."

 

The world around her had completely vanished into nothing. She could feel the bindings of her body begin to sever, one by one. Though she fought it at first, tried to reach back out beyond the vast expanse of the valley of death, she stopped herself and could not help but think. What would she gain, by going back? She'd tried, she'd failed. Her part was done, her story written, brief though it'd been. 

     What would there be awaiting her if she fought now, resisted, except for ultimately, more of the same she'd always endured? They'd come for her, surely... there was no way the book would simply be allowed to be lost, and neither would House Albus' oh so precious Crusader-to-be of this generation. Why bother fighting now, so close to freedom, only to enter back into a life that would be bound by the chains of the divine?

 

Why the sacrifice to chance to finally take control of her own path, even if it was at it's end now? 

 

"Forgive me, Cadence..."

"...why?" no longer did she feel surprise or longing at the mere resonance of the voice. Perhaps it was the lack of a physical form with which to feel anything, or mayhaps the resignation to choose the freedom of the void over whatever was still to come. "Why? Out of all of them... you were the only one who ever tried, who ever said anything or backed me up. What do I have to forgive you over, when you were the only one who ever truly listened?"

 

"Because I didn't try harder for you. I stood by and observed too much, but changed far too little of what went on. Just as I've been guilty of so many times before. Please, remember what I always told you... Even when it seems to be the harshest, you can't simply give in. You've too much will for them to ever suppress you, it has always been that way... by giving up, you lose far more than if you press on..."

"Just... keep pressing on. So you're asking me to just... stand back and continue doing what I always have, expecting a different result from what I've always gotten? Was it not you who taught me the definition of madness?"

 

"...I'm not asking merely for yourself... remember the book, my dear. Remember that evil only wins, when good men do nothing. Or wait too long to even try. Make not the same mistakes I did... please, for more than just your own sake-"

 

Despite the obvious choice being presented to her, it was becoming ever obvious that someone else had already decided on how her life would be spent for her. She could feel it, before she could even respond, the sensation of being tugged back to the living world, out of the abyss and back to her body. How typical, yet again, choice is removed from her hands. It felt good being sent the same basic message over and over again, that she was unfit to decide for herself, that her voice mattered not in the ultimate resolution. No, really, it did.

 

And so it was that as whoever in the seven hells had taken the liberty of dragging her back to where she wanted nothing else but to leave, she silently resigned herself to her fate. This would be her own type of hell, her punishment, that she could never escape from, that she'd always be revived to... like the story of so many infidels who were damned to fates only death could releive and who wished for the sweat embrace of the reaper, but in the end, always knew the reaper would never come for them.

 

Such was the way of the damned. Even if in some cases, they did nothing to actually warrant a curse.

 

"I... hate you all..so very, very much..." It was all the snarling verbal confirmation of life she gave as she pushed away from the healer and began to rise. Whether the statement was intended for her allies, the foes before, or just everyone in general earshot however, was any man's guess. She clutched the wound the axeman had put iin her side, still gaping open despite the one to her back having closed.

"So very...very much. Vermin like you can't even fathom emotion this utterly consuming... how infuriating it is, seeing you standing there, gawking, proud of yourselves. How frustrating this charade becomes." She shook, as she collected the fallen blade from the earth, but it was anything but pain or the unsteadiness of having been downed that caused the tremors, her eyes burning like the hottest coals out of a fire. "Watching you swing those blunt pieces of iron about and act as though you're something because of it, as if your lives ever had any meaning or ever will simply because you decided to fight for...what, pray tell?

      Let me hear your cliche sob story; is your sister or daughter or wife or what have you sick, did some noble who once employed your service fuck your wife and leave you looking like some poor, pathetic cuckold, with a petty thirst for vengeance? Or did you just fall on hard times after gambling away everything you had and never knowing when to quit. On second thought... no. Don't bother telling me, wandroughts. I don't care enough to listen..."
     Despite her injuries, or perhaps, fueled by not only the physical agony, only a futile representation of her lot as a whole, she had both the final last drops of a Vulnerary and her Rapier at the ready, casting the flask to the earth and letting it shatter, as she brought up the blade.

 

"The only thing I care for, is what your death rattles will sound like. Engarde, see if you can repeat what you just did... I dare you."
