Thread: Fire Emblem: A New Revolution (Esyel & Beautiful Disgrace's 1x1)

Ike Selune Years of training had helped Ike in many ways. One included his senses being keen, particularly his hearing. His sight was .. decent but not nearly as amazing as Shinon's. Then again, Ike specialized in melee combat. He didn't need to focus upon staying far away like others such as mages or rangers. His eyes narrowed as he made out the sounds of ... soldiers? But why? The need for them had been long since gone. What was going on? Well ... there was no doubt one easy way to find out. A pair of strong yet deft hands reached down and withdrew his blade, Ragnell. It was his prized possession and all who knew him, friend or foe, knew just how deadly it was when used in battle. Ike remained silent as he began to dart toward the source of the noises. Soon, he found one young lady and ... several bandits. Ike couldn't help but roll his eyes at the sight. Well, better thieves than soldiers. Not that he'd wish for anything horrible to happen, mind you. But it seemed as if he had merely made the wrong assumption. His feet carried him the rest of the way until finally, he closed the remaining gap between himself and the shady men. His blade reached out, barely stopping in front of the neck to the closest bandit. Ike could kill but never liked doing so unless it was absolutely necessary. And given he had a very high reputation and all, he hoped to avoid much if any fighting as he began to speak. You will turn and leave this maiden alone. If you wish to be stubborn, you may. But rest assured, it'll meet in nothing but a swift demise. So, you brats gonna wise up? Or are you that desperate? Sure the words were arrogant but Ike was currently a few things. Tired from the long trip and most certainly able to back up the words. Anyone who had even merely heard of his name knew the words were anything but a fluke. Poor Selune's heart was beating so wildly in her chest that she almost swore it was trying to leap out of it. And the pace only seemed to increase as she heard the soldiers not too far away! A strong gust began to form around her. No! Damnit, no! Just go away .... hm? The winds began to die down as Selune realized .. they weren't talking to her. Someone else was here? But she hadn't see another person in sight. Well ... she was exhausted so she likely had missed something or, in this case, someone. As the footsteps ran the other way, they lessened but by no means stopped. If anything the presence of what she fairly assumed to be her savior briefly made the gusts dance around her once more. As far as Selune knew, this man may just try to use her and want something back. She had never seen him before in the past several days of running. He could be aligned with anyone and ... well .... Selune was trying to be cautious. A bit much, yes, but better than letting her guard down at all. What do you really want? Why'd you help me? Other similar thoughts raced through her head. But ... wow. Those all sounded horrible, ungrateful even. And gods help her, she did have some manners. The glare that had been in her eyes finally vanished as did the wind. Her body fell slowly to the ground, using the tree behind her as a means to help her stay somewhat supported. I ... I know, yes, she replied, trying to keep her voice as calm as possible. But .. they haven't allowed me many chances to try to use any sort of stealth. I ... I really don't know what this is all about. It sounded so pathetic and stupid, she knew. No one had believed her before. Why would he? The mere thought made the winds begin to pick up once more as desperation surrounded the female mage.
