Three Houses Saga: White Clouds

A New Saga in Fódlan Part 2

< Third-Person POV >

"Hey! You meanie!" Lily called out to the Death Knight.

The aforementioned meanie turned to the girl, momentarily causing her to jump in fright.

"Your armor looks soooo lame! Lily has seen scarier things than you!" She continues to taunt him.

"I don't think that's gonna work." Cyril stated.

"Like I said, have faith in her." Yugiri said to the boy.

"Lily, what are you doing?!" Lysithea asks her friend.

"Enough of this nonsense, child." The Death Knight said in an intimidating tone.

"Na na na na naaa~! Y'know, Lily's even scarier than you! Just look!"

Lily then made a scary face, fitting of a zombie, as her heart began literally beating out of her chest.

"GAHHHH?!" Cyril and Lysithea simultaneously let out.

"Gurk!" The Death Knight was also caught off guard by the youth's action.

"Blehhhh!!" Lily stretches her face while sticking her tongue out.

Yugiri just has a pleasant smile on her face the entire time, and Linhardt's eyes are wide.

"Now Lysithea!" Lily shouts.

"Huh? Oh I see! Huhhhhhh!" Glowing purple spikes begin to pop up one by one in the air, surrounding the confused Death Knight, "HAH!".

Lysithea unleashes the Reason spell Dark Spikes Τ, obliterating the Death Knight as he stands.

"Ugh... The time is not right... I will wait for the next opportunity..." The armored reaper warps away defeated, deciding that this battlefield was not fitting for someone like him.

"That was... oddly helpful, Lily. I am grateful for your assistance." Lysithea puts her hand to her chest and smiles.

Lily struggles to put her heart back in her chest before smiling back, "You're welcome! Now let's kick some butt!"

"Well that was um..."

"Hm..."

Cyril and Linhardt were trying to understand what happened, but Yugiri beckoned them to follow her as they opened the eastern stronghold and let in the reinforcements. One down, one left to go.

"Ah, I can't shake them!" Sakura let out before a pegasus knight was downed by the group of student archers led by Ai.

"Nicely done, Bernie. Is it alright for me to call you that?" Ai asks Bernadetta.

"Um... it is if you want to. Thanks." Bernie responds.

Ai nods before taking aim at two more imperial pegasus knights, both of them moving quite quickly to avoid the shots from the other bow users. She takes a deep breath in, as she memorizes the flight patterns of her enemies....

And she lets her arrow fly.

"YARGH!" A pegasus knight cries out.

A direct hit to the side. The pain causes the knight to lose their footing on their pegasus and accidentally steer into the path of another one, causing the two of them to fall to the hard ground.

"Success, but this is not even close to being over yet." Ai thought to herself, before turning to the mages at the magical ballistas, "Choose a good location to strike, don't let them get any closer to the monastery!"
