In the previous chapter:
Valter: Hah! I am Valter, the Moonstone, Grado's finest general! And you are just a corpse that doesn't know that he is dead! This greatsword will see to it that your head will go rolling on the floor. Gyahahaha!
(Valter swings his greatsword at Seth. Seth quickly dodged the attack but wasn't quick enough. The greatsword sliced into the side pouch holder of Seth's pants.)
*******************************************************************
Seth: *Damn! The package King Fado gave me, it has been sliced by the greatsword and stained with my blood. He entrusted it to me and my negligence allowed it to be damaged by Valter the Moonstone.* VALTER, you son of a Grado bitch! You will pay for this!
Eirika: Seth! You are injured! You need a vulnerary!
Seth: Worry not, Princess Eirika. A scratch like this should not worry you.
(Seth preparing to rush forward on his horse with the silver lance pointing forward and aiming at Valter’s neck)
Valter: Hah! You are no match for me. Once I’ve got your head rolling, it shall be a perfect foot stool.
Seth: You insolent fool! (Charging forward towards Valter)
(The damaged packaged began emitting light out from the side pouch of Seth’s pants)
Eirika: Seth! The package is emitting light!
Valter: What a child’s gimmick! Come at me foot stool!
Seth: Good gods!! What is going on? I can’t control my body! It’s moving on it’s own! Valter! You disgraceful and unhonorable Wyvern riding cheater, to think that you would resort to using dark magic of body manipulation to control my body.
Valter: Hah! Once a foot stool, always one. Cut your act and excuses! Come at me!
(Unable to control his body, Seth felt his body moving on its own. Seth’s silver lance impaled into the wing of Valter’s wyvern. Just before Valter could raise his lance to stab Seth through his heart, the white light emitting from the package encased Seth and Eirika in a holy light barrier which temporarily blinded Valter’s vision. Both paladin and Princess were teleported away from the battlefield leaving Valter bewildered).
Valter: How entertaining. Fly away, my foot stool. Fly away! Try to outrun death. More time for me to savor the hunt… and the kill… Gyahahahahahaha!
(Back to Seth)
Seth: Mmm...Where am I? (Seth looks around to check if Princess Eirika was with him) Princess Eirika! Where are you?! Agh!
Unknown voice: My child… Seth...
Seth: Who’s there?! Show yourself!
(The unknown voice showed herself and spoke)
Unknown voice: I am Ashunera, the Goddess of Dawn. You have summoned me here.
Seth: Goddess Ashunera? I…have what? Where is Princess Eirika?
Goddess Ashunera: Yes my child. Princess Eirika is safe. I have teleported both of you to a safe place, away from the evil clutches of Valter. This space is within your subconscious mind. Princess Eirika is currently keeping watch over your physical body as we speak.
Seth: How did I even summon you?
Goddess Ashunera: You have no clue don’t you? You sustained an injury from your fight earlier on. When the greatsword sliced your slightly into your thigh, the package which contained a jewel stone also got sliced. When your paladin blood stained the jewel stone, it activated the holy powers within it and summoned me to assist you.
Seth: You have my gratitude, Goddess Ashunera.
Goddess Ashunera: My child, that is not all. I did not appear just to hear you express your gratitude. To complete the summoning process and for you to return back to reality, I bestow on you the powers of light and vitality. Henceforth, the magicks within you have been activated.
Normally, priests or clerics require a staff to channel their healing magick before casting. However, the activation of magicks within you does not require you to channel it through a staff. Hovering your palm just above the wound and mental imaging of the person or thing you want to heal would suffice. No armour around the wound should be put on as the metallic compounds in the armour will affect the speed of healing.
The casting of holy magick uses the same theory of mental imaging to cast. A casting medium such as a staff is not required. That would be all about using magick.
(Goddess Ashunera pauses and continues)
My child, I must warn you about the possible side effects of magicks-activation.
Seth: Side effects of what kind?
Goddess Ashunera: Side effects of what kind, I do not know. Listen to your body and you shall find out in due time…
Seth: But… Goddess… (Goddess Ashunera’s form begins to fade away) No… No!! I still have questions!
(Back to Eirika and Seth’s body)
Eirika: Seth! Seth! Seth! Wake up! Seth! Se…
Seth: Hmmmng… Goddess… Ah! (Seth sits up straight)
Eirika: Are you alright? You were out for a good 1 hour after the white light barrier transported us to where we are right now. What is going on?
Seth: Princess Eirika, we are safe. Where we are now, we can see no more of Grado’s men. We have made it this far thanks for Goddess Ashunera. We have surely earned a moment’s rest. Please forgive me for being unconscious and leaving you alone to stand guard.
Eirika: Woah.. wait wait wait. Goddess Ashunera? Are you sure you are alright?
Seth: Princess, I am fine and yes, Goddess Ashunera. Allow me to explain when we are within the castle walls of Frelia. Goddess Ashunera, bestowed on me the power of light and vitality.
Eirika: Mmm. The power of light and vitality? What does that mean?
Seth: That means, I am able to use holy magick as well as healing-restorative magick as well.
Eirika: Okay, when we are within the castle walls of Frelia, explain everything to me about the whole Goddess Ashunera thing. Right now, it’s kind of hard for me to believe you. Anyway, it is my fault that you received a wound on your thigh from Valter. Wouldn’t it be timely to try casting the healing-restorative magick on yourself to see if it works?
Seth: Sure, Princess Eirika. (Seth shyly continues) But.. Please turn away while I remove the armour around my injured thigh for the healing magick to work.
Eirika: *O_O* What? Uh… Oh… Uhm… Okay. (Eirika turns away)
Seth: Okay… *Armour off and pants off* (Seth sits down on the hard ground and covers his crotch with his pants.) Alright Princess Eirika, you may turn back now. First, I hover my palm above the thigh injury and close my eyes.
(As soon as Seth started on the mental imaging process, a warm aura was felt in his palm and he began feeling the muscles in his thigh pulling and twitching. He felt the pain subsiding slowly and slowly. Seth stopped when he felt the pain leaving his thigh.)
Eirika: Thank the heavens Seth! The magick worked and your wound is completely healed!
Seth: You’re right, Princess Eirika. Now that I am back in shape, allow me to put back on my armour. We have more important matters to attend to. We must press on to Frelia and fulfill His Majesty’s wishes.
Eirika: … That’s true. I wonder how my father fares alone in the castle. Do you think he is safe? And what of my brother on the Grado front? We have heard nothing from him for days now.
Seth: King Fado and Prince Ephraim (Badump-badump! Seth heart skipped a beat upon mentioning Prince Ephraim’s name, but Seth ignored it) are both valiant and brave men. I doubt even the might of the Grado Empire can hold them in check. More important to me, Your Highness, is that you look to your own safety. Imagine how sad both King Fado and Prince Ephraim (Badump-badump! Once more Seth’s heart skipped another beat) would be if something were to happen to you. We must reach Frelia to ensure the day of your happy reunion.
Eirika: Yes, of course. You're right. Until I'm reunited with my father and brother, I must not despair. Come, Seth. Let us go.
Seth: Yes Princess Eirika, once we cross that bridge, we will be in Frelia, near Border Mulan. Let us proceed, Princess Eirika. Your highness, I won't lie to you. This will not be an easy ride. Please, take this rapier. If something should happen to me,you must continue to Frelia, alone if need be.
(Seth hands Eirika gets a Rapier)
Seth: *That was really strange. Why did my heart skip a beat with the mention of Prince Ephraim’s name? (Badump-badump!) There it goes again. Hmm… Why? What’s going on? Is this the side effect that Goddess Ashunera was talking about?* Say... Princess Eirika, just a question to pass time while on this journey. From a lady's point of view, what would make her heart skip a beat?
Eirika: That's an interesting question. Well... If your heart is yearning for someone you really like or miss, there is a high chance that it might happen. It might even be the case of your heart giving you a signal that you like the person you are thinking about. Just like when I was younger, just the thought of Prince Lyon of Grado would make my heart skip many beats! But now, my heart doesn't skip any beats for Prince Lyon. I guess it was just a passing phase. Why the question Seth?
Seth: Oh... That's an interesting perspective. Uhm... Well... it was that, I...uh... was wondering why...Uhm. (So timely, but oh well! 3 enemy fighters emerged out from behind the hills.)
Seth: Princess Eirika! No time for idle chat now. On guard!
O'Neill (Enemy Boss): You there! Renais dogs abd bitches! Where do you think you are going?
Seth: Grado's men... Stand back, Princess Eirika.
Princess Eirika: It is alright, Seth. My brother Ephraim (Seth's heart--Badump-badump!) has taught me something of swordplay. I will stand with you to fight.
(Eirika and Seth each took care of one Grado foot soldier without much difficulty)
Seth: All that's left is their leader Princess Eirika.
(Eirika nodded)
O'Neill: What was that? Do you think you can take me, wretched lording? Come! It's time you high-and-mighty knights learned to respect a true warrior!
Seth: Hmph! The only people worthy of my respect are King Fado, Princess Eirika and Prince Ephraim (badump-badump!) You are not worth any respect; supporting the Grado Empire in attacking Renais and ruining the longheld alliance between both empires. Prepare to meet your maker! *Okay, I've got to get to the bottom of this badump-badump issues when we've earned a moments rest. For now, this Grado enemy has to go.*
(Seth imagines himself holding a longbow while physically moving his arms. He loads up an imaginary arrow, focuses his holy magick onto the imaginary arrow. The imaginary arrow begins to glow and sparkle. The arrowhead fizzling at the tip. Seth pulls back the imaginary string and releases the string. The arrow is released and it was projected towards O'Neill at bullet speed. The holy magick arrow pierced through O'Neill's chest. Upon impact, there was an explosion as bright as the light of the sun.)
O'Neill: Ugh...What? ... How? (O'Neill collapses to the ground, as still as a log; dead).
Seth: Princess, are you injured?
Eirika: What? Oh, no... I'm fine, Seth.
Seth: But you look so pale...
Eirika: I'm fine...Fine....This is war, isn't it? It's not at all like the games I used to play with Brother Ephraim (Seth's heart--badump-badump!) or Lyon. I never though-- I didn’t know it would be this...savage. Are words useless? Is strength all that matters? It's so sad... Why would the Grado Empire do this? To what end would they start a war?
Seth: Princess...
Eirika: Don't worry, Seth. I won't give in to sorrow .Let's get moving. I'm not broken, and I won't stop until I see Renais restored. I won't stop until I'm reunited with my father and Brother Ephraim (Seth's heart-- badump-badump!).
Seth: Princess, we shall set up for camp tonight. The sun is setting and we will rest and set off at first light tomorrow. *Goodness gracious me! Badump and badump and more badumps? Is this truly the side effect? It's not funny at all. Me and Prince Ephraim (Badump-badump!) ughh! Seriously?*
(Stay tuned for the next chapter, thanks for hanging on to this long long long story build up. I promise you more juicy action in the next chapter!)
Author's Note: What pairings would you wish to see happening? Seth with Ephraim? In between the story before Seth meets Ephraim, would you wish to see some action between Seth and other characters? I would love to hear from you!
