All the Snot and Bleurgh Day Ruddy 8 Garth x Reader Part Deux
"Greetings, Hero." Garth said, with a hint of happiness in his voice.
"Hey, Garth. Theresa. How are you guys?" You replied.
"We have been discussing... many things." He grew solemn." That night, in the castle... the three children... were you and Sparrow... if I had known."
"Yeah. I know. If it helps, I don't remember much. I was... quite young." You awkwardly said.
"I remember you smiling at me as I walked past, and I just ignored you, thinking you to be a waste of my time."
"To be fair, a 1 year old isn't going to be much help."
"Heroes blood, I guess. That and something caught me when I fell."
It was then that Sparrow appeared, waltzing up through the Guild Cave entrance, having gone the long way to enjoy being back. She waved in greeting. Garth reiterated his apologies to her, before Theresa spoke.
"Hammer has located the Thief, we are waiting for her." She said. And Hammer came through the Cullis Gate.
"Hello- Briar. Good to see you." She greeted, as you jumped up into your usual bear hugs.
"Hey, Hammer. So. The Thief." You clicked, feet back on the ground.
"You must be Hammer. I've heard a lot about you." Garth commented.
"And you must be Garth. One of Lucien's lackeys."
"And, no. That was over 20 years ago, if you bothered to pay attention to what Theresa said when they fell out. The Thief." You interjected, giving then both a look.
"Right. I believe he's a pirate called Reaver." She said.
Upon the rest of the conversation and the necessity to go to Brightwood, you all set off and agreed to meet on Bower Lake Road. Knowing that Spire Guards might be there, you took extra care in making sure your trust Dragonstomper was fully loaded. You made your way there and found Hammer and Garth waiting.
"Ah, Briar. Glad to have you with us. We are just waiting on Sparrow now." Garth welcomed you.
"I sure hope this all works." You said, looking around and seeing a statue of your sister.
"When did she have that done?" Hammer chuckled.
"No idea. Never mind, I see movement coming from Bower Lake way." Briar responded, readying her gun just in case. They all crouched back, Garth near Briar in a protective manner.
"It's Sparrow." Hammer announced.
"Okay, cool. Now we head in." You nodded, turning to the Gate. Garth's hand appeared on you shoulder.
"There are Spire Guards in there, best to take the back way. Follow me." He spoke.
So off you all went, going around the back way, crossing a few puddles and going to a hill. You reached the top and crouched behind bushes and a statue to observe the back entrance that was littered with guards. As Garth spoke of fighting the way through, you had pulled out your pistol and started shooting them all in the heads. One by one they dropped, and soon the entire path was cleared.
"What was that?" Garth hissed.
"Clearing the way. We can just waltz up now." You shrugged, bolstering your gun and beginning to walk off, Sparrow following closely before Hammer. And finally Garth, who was actually very impressed.
You were able to walk past all the bodies, each had perfect bullet marks in the temples and dead as door nails. As you traipsed up the stairs you stopped everyone, as you had heard faint voices. Again, Garth was impressed. You were young, and didn't seem too use anything but skill, but you knew what you were doing with it.
"4, 5.... there's 6 up there, guys. I'll shoot some, but others may come running." You spoke, whipping your gun out and instantly getting one in the temple.
Other guards ran forward, and as you shot others, any that rushed through were either shot by Sparrow or zapped by Garth. You all continued round the corner. Then you froze.
"Oh, fuck me." You groaned.
"Excuse me?" Garth asked.
"There's a shard." You pointed, and then it drew forward.
"Stand back." Garth told you, firing up his shock spell.
You jumped up into the hedgeway and ran past it as the will users fought it. On the other side of the Tower, you saw commandants and of guards. You tried to pick of the commandants first, but they took a few shots, and then the guards were on you. Garth had just destroyed the guards when he saw you at the other end, fending off many guards. He first looked to where you were behind him, before growling and running forward to push them all away from you with his will. When they were all dead, he turned on you.
"Never. Do that again." He told you.
"I was fine." You saved him off, about to take off into a job through the Tower. He stopped you.
"We are a team, at the moment. Never go ahead on your own." He sternly said, looking you right in the eyes.
You all went up the the Cullis Gate, and whilst Garth got to things, you all noticed the Great Shard and started fending off all the things. You never left Garth's side. Shooting everything to ensure he was uninterrupted and unhurt. Once it was ready, Sparrow went through. But the 3 of you couldn't, and the Gate malfunctioned, sort of blowing up on you, and throwing you over to the wall. You landed on top, on the verge of teetering over to fall, but Hammer was quick to get you before that happened.
You groaned loud, your ribs hurting, as well as your body. You rolled over and passed out, and Garth felt terrible. Knowing that Lucien may send more guards, you all retreated back to the cave. Theresa tended your wounds and Garth stayed by your side. For a whole day you were asleep.
