Fire and fury

Noire from Fire Emblem: Awakening Affilianted with Eridaenus

[dualblooded-blog]

Gods above, the whiplashing of Noire’s moods could leave even the strongest of their friends gasping for breath. Speaking of gasping for breath, Nah was quite literally doing so as the smaller girl tried to peel the blubbering archer off of her.

“Okay, Noire? You need to cut it out, I can’t–grk!” Oh for goodness sake, Noire had looped an arm nearly around her neck, making air even more of a precious commodity. Nah wriggled a bit more before giving up, rolling her eyes even as she patted the other girl’s back awkwardly.

“Yeah, I’m here, and it was never that serious, all right? What’s got you so riled up? Besides the obvious,” Nah added in a low mutter as she was finally released. Brushing herself off and straightening her clothes with great indignation, the manakete looked around, taking in the heavy scents of dust and disuse. 

“It looks as if this place has seen better days. Still, we could have wound up somewhere a lot worse…” Curiosity prickled at the edges of her mind as she wondered what sort of world awaited beyond those sunset-lit windows. The entire place was bathed in blood red light.Her ears shifting with interest, Nah looked over at Noire, doing her best to appear composed.

What Noire needed was for somebody to be strong and calm. Right. She could do this. Nah pulled in a breath to relax her (secretly shuddering) nerves, arching an eyebrow. “So…are you going to be all right? Or do you need a minute?”

Gods, she hoped this place didn’t have any ghosts!

After a long while, Noire finally released her death grip on the petite girl. She was still sniffling but her tears and blubbering were now out of the way. Looking around the empty space, a shaky breath left her lips. 

“Th-this place is so quiet...” she whispered. Noire really didn’t want to move but her curiosity got the best of her and she was now walking over the debris, “Nah! What if this place is haunted!” her voice became a bit shrill at the thought. 

The area was white but the windows and sunlight covered the room in hues of orange, yellow, and red. She didn’t notice the shadows in the corners at first, they were silent but when they scuttled across the floor, Noire knew they were in trouble.

“Oh I knew this place was cursed!” She wailed as she ran her way back to Nah’s side. Her bow was drawn with an arrow, ready to attack whatever spirits came at them, “N-Nah get ready!”

With portals appearing, and information spreading quick among the monsters that those below the ground were disturbed, constantly, through the presence of humans approaching them, it became havoc. All that Chara did during the havoc was await. Wishing to witness the humans himself, he placed himself near an entrance to the Ruins (a fairly quiet place, at that, so that their footsteps would reach his ears), watching for signs. It was as if he were bird watching; observing beings he didn’t quite understand, yet seen far too often despite this, and has formed an immunity to their actions.

However, when a human came within his sights, the end of an arrow greeting him between the eyes, for a brief moment he felt himself tense, and his fury forced his features to scrunch into a ball. Yet, with a loosened grip of his heart locket, he calmed his facial muscles, and smiled, allowing his body to lean forward closer towards the human. Showing any forms of negative emotions brought about consequences, after all. “Think about what?” Short and sweet, an innocently enough placed question to ease her nerves. And hopefully her mindset that he’d harm her, as true as it were, changed slightly in order to rationally speak to her.

“I haven’t done anything. What are you thinking about?” He hums, in a fashion that causes his question to lighten its monotonous output. He shrugs his shoulders, before pointing towards a frog-like creature. “You’re tense. Relax. I’m a child. And that is a frog. Both equal towards how harmless they are.”

[hexbowfaire-blog]

It was a child! A child that seemed unbothered by these eerie halls. Noire’s features showed confusion. Her mind running through all the negative scenarios. What if this child was the monster? What if he lived down here his whole life and these halls were his home? 

Noire hesitated before relaxing her stance, her bow and arrow now slack. “Y-you’re just a child.” a small frown was on her lips as she looked down at the other, “What are you doing here and how are you not scared? This place is creepy!”

      Just a usual day at Blood Gulch with the usual idiots running around and Texas is doing her own little thing to keep herself sane when it comes to them. Which happens to be finding out who is the person that came through this Stargate and what they want because it’s a human. Not that a human is weird to see, but its because she has no armor on and, well.

     She looks like she comes from the Stone Ages. (Okay, not that far back but she’s from an era that’s old.) Unless she’s wearing some weird costume? Eh, who knows. Tex will be able to get her answers once she goes down to see here which she does.

     If Tex would raise a brow right now, she would. But alas she can not.

    “I’d like to see your arrows try do any damage.” Tex waves her hand in front of her armor as if to point out that, hey, sticks with stones on the edges aren’t gong to do anything to her. Good thing she isn’t carrying any weapons on her or not having them pointed at the girl. It’d be like bringing a knife to a fist fight.

[hexbowfaire-blog]

Oh gods no. This metal...whatever it is, was right. Her bows would not even make a dent in the advanced armor this other had. Noire’s knees started to knock as she lowered her primitive weapon. 

“D-Don’t hurt me!” Noire’s suddenly cried out. Panic was heard in her voice as it started to tremble. “I-I mean no harm....really! “

            ❝ Oh, Noire! ❞ 

    She trots up to the girl, friendly smile in place. Who would have thought she’d see timid Noire here, of all places? Though Lissa was always impressed with the girl’s abilities and seemingly underestimated bravery, it was a well-known fact the archer held fears in which she had to be accompanied to face. A beam of light that showed up out of no where? Surely that was something to be afraid of! But, alas! Noire seemed to exceed expectations. 

    “Did you come to check on the pillar too?”

[hexbowfaire-blog]

“L-Lissa!” Noire was finding her allies left and right. It was a comforting thought to know that no matter where she was, her friends would somehow find her. A relieved breath left her lips as she smiled at the other, “You are surely a sight for sore eyes! I-I thought the pillar was some sort of curse....but it’s actually some sort of teleporter. What are the odds?” 

The girl had gone through the pillar a few times but that didn’t stop her from being so anxious about it. Her hands would ring around her bow constantly at just the thought of what the pillar could bring.

Noire hated this area. It was just so creepy and haunted, a place she knew she would suffer greatly in. Her mother on the other hand would have loved this area. It was dark, it was cold, it was dreary, perfect atmosphere for Tharja. 

Her bow was in her hands, string slack with an arrow ready if needed. She had already attempted to attack a few monsters but she learned that they were just as scared as her. That didn’t ease her though because if they were scared, that means there must be a larger fiend lurking around in the dark.

Every turn was a hesitant decision that she would regret. This turn was no different. Once she passed the corner, she yelped at see the other. Her hands her shaking a bit as she strung her arrow and aimed at the arrow, “D-Don’t think a-about it!” she tried to be scary but ultimately failed.

She was hungry. Her stomach rumbled for food and her mood started to drop to a deathly annoyed state. Her bow was strapped firmly to her, her quiver perched snugly on her back. Noire had a very bad feeling of this place. On the outside, she saw how busy and beautiful it was, but that nagging fear that crime lurked in the shadows was evident. 

She kept looking over her shoulder in fear that someone would snatch her weapon from her. This was so frustrating! She couldn’t walk in peace and she couldn’t find a place to eat. This situation was turning out poorly for the archer.

Her stomach growled again and her hand clamped over it in an attempt to silence its rumbling. She looked around, a huff escaping her lips, “Isn’t there anything to eat around here?”

The hallway was crowded with a bunch of teenagers. They all had a uniform and were in their respective cliques. Noire stuck out horribly. Her green attire and bow caused all eyes to land on her. She hated it and wanted to shrivel away into a crack in the wall. There were whispers, there were stares. She couldn’t handle all the gawking. It was a mistake going through this portal.

The archer looked around, trying to find some sort of escape from the school kids. She ran to a door and let herself in before slamming it. It was a meager form of a barrier but it helped calmed the girl. That is until she noticed there was someone else in the classroom.

“S-sorry!” she began to say but she didn’t try and leave. She just needed a few more moments to recuperate.

Nah felt pretty proud of herself. She had been the first of their little time-traveling troupe (barely beating out Laurent and Morgan) to guess where Noire was, and she wasted no time in taking that resplendent pillar of light that had cropped up in Ylisstol straight to the field of stars. She took a moment to appreciate the sheer eternity of the place–she felt as though she could run forward for a thousand years and never reach the horizon’s end–before heading off in search of her friend.

This wasn’t her first time passing through stargates. In fact, she had done so twice already, not counting the return trips. One would think she’d feel confident by now, but instead her unease was only slightly reduced.

And–blast it all!–she just missed Noire as she hesitantly stepped through a stargate, and Nah swore under her breath, breaking into a sprint, frantic to follow her.

“Noire!”

The light temporarily blinded her as she jumped into it, and as a result she crashed straight into Noire from behind in her haste, the both of them staggering forward into some kind of…abandoned mansion?

“Okay, okay, okay, Noire! Relax! It’s just me!” Nah cried, frantic to get her balance, but also to reassure the other. “We’ve been looking everywhere for you, you know. We thought something had happened, and so I…Hey, are you all right?”

[hexbowfaire-blog]

Noire half expected to be injured when she stepped through the light. Things usually never went good for her but when she came out unscathed, a sigh of relief left her lips. Maybe luck was finally finding its way to her. 

She found herself inside a large house, probably a mansion. The room where the pillar was located in was in tatters. Statues, chairs, and bookshelves were broken and other pieces of furniture was strewn about on the floor. It looked like a fight had happened years ago for dust lingered on top of the shattered remains. It was quiet, the mansion was abandoned, life probably hadn’t set foot inside the walls in a very long time. 

A moment of relief came to the archer as she realized that she didn’t enter into a war zone, but that was soon replaced with fear. What if this mansion was haunted? Knowing how she was cursed from her mother, it wouldn’t surprise her if a ghost came to suck her soul. 

While in thought, Noire was surprised by a colliding figure. She screamed, “T-The ghosts are real! ” her eyes shut tight and she flailed in a feign attempt to swat away whatever had hit her. She was able to stumble away and prop up a flimsy bow,  “ UNHAND ME VEHEMENT SPIRITS BEFORE YOU FACE MY MURDEROUS WRATH.”

After her moment of panic, she saw that is was Nah. Oh, sweet, beautiful Nah! Noire couldn’t have been happier to see a familiar face. “O-oh Nah! I’m so happy to see you!” she started to sniffle from her  overwhelmed joy. She hugged the smaller girl, blubbering happily. “I thought I would never see any of you again!”

A canyon, Noire found herself nestled in a field. It looks....dead to say the lease. Besides the towering rock that encased the archer, the greenery was sparse.

Oh great, cursed to die in this miserable pit of a canyon! 

The area was silent, the only sound the girl could hear was her own breath and her footsteps. Could this be apart of Plegia? Probably not but Noire had to find out. She wandered and wandered, her bow slack in her hands, arrow cautiously prepped in case there was a living soul. 

“W-who’s there?” she turned around quickly, her knees banging together, she swore that she heard something. The archer started to take short, quick breaths in slight panic. She was getting nervous and paranoia was edging itself into her. In moments the fear that the girl was experiencing was replaced with rage (thanks to her talisman)

“REVEAL YOURSELF HEATHEN BEFORE I SMITE YOU WITH MY ARROWS.” her bow was staged and ready to strike anyone down. 

[hexbowfaire-blog]

Gloved fingers curled tightly around her blessed bow. She was in an unfamiliar place again. The area in no way resembled Plegia. Pillars of light glowed warmly side by side. Each harbored different images of landscape. Some were bright with lush grass or calm seas and others were harsh with storms, fire, and even war. 

Noire didn’t like this. She just knew this had to be one of mother’s curses. A bad dream maybe? A hallucination spell? Either way, Noire didn’t want to believe that she was stuck here away from family and friends. Leave it to her to be in such a predicament.

People were walking in and out of the pillars like it was a normal part of life. This must have been such a mundane thing to do for the travelers. Maybe if she stepped into one of the lights she would find her way home.

Noire just stared at the glowing light. She needed to muster the courage to step through but she just couldn’t. After what felt like an eternity, she took that fated step and found herself in a new area.
