Three Houses Saga: White Clouds

Raid on The Tomb

< Third-Person POV >

"Hm..."

"Is something the matter, Sakura?" Dimitri asks his companion.

"Ack! Y-yeah, everything's just hunky dory. I'm ready for the ceremony!" Sakura assures the prince.

He and the other three, Ai, Saki, and Byleth were still highly suspicious. Especially since Edelgard took her away for a few days as well, needless to say, they worried about their friend. Her well being mostly, but also if she could focus on the mission in case things go awry.

The Blue Lions all entered the Cathedral, every single one of them was there in fact. Both old and new members prepared to enter the Holy Tomb.

Dimitri was the first to break the silence, "A revelation from the goddess... To think we'll have the honor of attending such a historical event."

"Yeah! It sounds so cool, I really wonder what's going to happen..." Sakura pumped her fists.

"Still, we have no idea what's inside this Holy Tomb... how do we know if it's safe?" Junko worried.

"D-don't put those worrying thoughts in my head! Now I'm assuming the worst is going to happen!" Bernie shuddered.

"Ah! S-sorry!" Junko apologized quickly.

"We mustn't falter now, Lady Junko, Lady Bernadetta, especially since Lady Rhea is accompanying us as well." Yugiri told the floofy-haired idol.

Ingrid nodded, "Indeed, if something happens to her, all of Fódlan will suffer. We must protect her at all costs!"

"That didn't help at all..." Bernie and Junko responded at the same time.

"This may sound mad, but perhaps we don't have to worry so much about that. Lady Rhea has said before that she is capable of protecting herself. I have a feeling that is true. I thought it was a strange thing for her to say. And beyond that, her movements bring to mind a great warrior with an extensive military background." Dimitri brought up.

"Wait really? That fancy chick's got fighting skills?" Saki's eyes lit up, before Dedue coughed to get her to focus, "Yes she does, I have even spotted the Professor seeking faculty training from her on a few occasions."

"Is that so? Hm... who is Rhea, really?" Ai pondered.

"I wonder... Mind, it's also possible that I'm way off track. Regardless, perhaps we should brace ourselves for anything." Dimitri looked to the professor who agreed with staying vigilant.

"I never imagined attending a ceremony for a real revelation..." Ashe was in awe.

Mercedes, nervously clutched her hands, "I wonder what the ceremony will be like. I'm so nervous! I'm not ready for this!"

Felix scoffed, "There's no chance for battle unless something goes terribly wrong, right? How boring."

Sylvain shook his head,"If you keep saying things like that, something bad is bound to happen."

"That's what I'm counting on, this ceremony stuff is looking to be dull as hell. That Solon guy probably still has friends around, so I hope to bash some sk—" Saki got bopped on the head by Ai.

"While I don't disagree with you on that last point, don't jinx us and act professional when we're with the archbishop, please?" The flower-headed idol scolded her biker companion.

"Hee hee, yeah Saki, act more proper!" Lily giggled.

"Shut up, Shrimpy." Saki told the younger girl.
