A Thousand Years of War (Griffith/ Guts Fanfic)

Eventually

           Reino's eyes fluttered open from a long slumber. She rose, ruffled her light hair and yawned in bliss. ' Seriously these brats have a bit too much grit to be sleeping in someone else's quarters' she rolled her eyes at their carelessness.

"Rise and shine. You all dare sleep in my tent peacefully? I will curse you all." Reino bellowed. Rose's head shot up as she scrambled to get out of the tent with her belongings, meanwhile, Chromethos was still sleeping and Folish was rising begrudgingly.

Reino pulled herself up, unwrapping the cover around her waist and picking up the sheathed wretched sword. She walked out and soon followed Rose and Folish and Chromethos after Folish walloped him into consciousness.

Outside of the tent was many youths, all wielding concealed weapons as they ate and chatted amongst each other cheerfully. Rose sauntered over to a table and grabbed a hot drink and a passion fruit. Folish stopped to incendiary colleagues. Chromethos and Rose joined each other on a soft blanket to argue on who would lead the next mission. Reino beamed at this sight with pride and joined them.

"Why would you lead the next battle? I am higher up and astute than you!" Chromethos glared at Rose earning a quick strike to the head. "I am more skilled with weapons! All you do is throw pixie dust at people. What are you going to do? Send them to Neverland?" Rose fired back crossing her arms and baring her teeth at him.

Reino looked back at the two her deep voice finally uttered something in response."About the next mission...." She zoned out after going into deep thought. The whole site was now focused on her. " I think it will be today. And I hope it will end as well as usual." She said looking amongst her team. They all nodded in agreement. It will be at the Next palace's walls, we need this to help upgrade weaponry and for medicine for the children, ever since spring started they have not been as well and Chromethos cannot provide so much with just forest herbs." Reino said.

"What are you people waiting for? Get your asses in gear lets make it there before noon." Folish shouted as others began to pick up thing that must not be taken, this was their main camp however so they did not take much. On the way, They all sung songs and cracked jokes to pass time. Chromethos shouted the lyrics and his voice cracked making Folish laugh. Rose sang beautifully to which all swooned. Reino drank almost the whole while.

After the hefty march to the palace, they were all giddy and excited to fight. People grasped their swords and daggers before they even saw anybody else to attack. Reino stumbled through her comrades to the front where a man with a wide stomach stood, bathed in armor, and seemingly upset.

"Hello, old pal! Let the blood flood the floors and have a good long battle, right pal?" Reino hiccuped as she pressed a hand on the cold metal of his shoulder. He grinned at this "Yes let us battle. I will be sure to win and take all your people to be sold your head on the line with them" He bellowed.

Reino frowned childishly and swung her hand across his head, hitting him smack dab in his temple.She made a childish sound as she did, somewhat of a 'Boom' and cackled as she looked at his men who stared at her, perplexed. She thrust a fist in the air as her kin ran forward to fight.

And so blood hit the floor. It did so splashing and trickling down from the corpse of some unfortunate soldier. Folish claimed to have killed off the most, explosives was the best weapon in a war she presumed. After all the bodies fell and the fat man Sir Alfe had his head taken by Reino they all left. Chromethos and Rose argued on who was the better leader to the other fighters and Folish bragged to the rest of the bombers on how bright her explosions were, as for Reino, she was still tipsy with a bag holding Sir Alfe's head in her hand. As they all walked together a scream no a battle cry was let loose. Reino sobered up and looked toward the sound. Chromethos was the first to follow it, out of curiosity. Folish backed him up in case anything happened to him and she needed to engage in a fight.

Reino ran ahead of them if anybody was to get hurt it should be the leader. She ran up and bumped into a traumatized soldier. His thin framed crashed into her as his voice quaked and he screamed as he turned around. A giant sword crashed into his abdomen and he fell. Reino looked up to see her worst nightmare, for the 3rd time now. Guts. He was straight-faced, unlike all the times she saw him before and coated in crimson blood. As soon as his eyes caught her mint tinted ones he gasped and pulled her up, taking his blade out of the man and pushing some of the thick liquid off of his blade.

"Nice to see your face." Guts let out sarcastically. Reino rolled her eyes and pushed him away. He dusted off the chest of his armor and smiled up mischievously at Reino."Wanna help? I could use a hand." He gestured towards a bunch of fighting warriors.

Reino sighed and gestured at Chromethos and Folish to follow and help. They did and soon followed their whole team. Reino studied the field she recognized Casca, her armor was designed to fit her so it was not very difficult to spot her. She also looked for Julius, she did miss him a bit but saw him taking a solider for medical care.

She went right into battle, slashing away at the thin soldiers. She took time to memorize the coat of arms, being careful not to take the life of anyone but the defensive group. Reino slowed to catch her breath. "Here, you look out of it, have a sip." Chromethos walked to her holding out his royal blue pouch. "Thanks, Chro, I would die without you," Reino chuckled to him.

She sat and pushed Killer Daisy in the ground in front of her. She looked at the blade and ran a finger across its side. She gasped as she felt the familiar spark of warmth 'Why the hell does it always feel so warm, I have been sitting here for a while the blood has cooled. Freaky, it's like body warmth' she thought looking a little closer. Reino squinted her eyes and caught a glimpse of blue in the black tinted metal, her breath caught in her throat.

"Damn you!" A man shouted. Her focus broke and she looked to her left. There was the familiar beak helmet and a man was going to cut right through it....

She jumped up and pulled her blade along with her she slashed to the right but felt nothing she opened her eyes to expect a blood matted white-haired man on the floor but saw instead a mask. A mask similar to that of a fox with black hair framing it. "Don't be stupid, he is as worthy as the dirt you walk on. Why risk your life?" She heard a voice but she was frozen still as the being cocked its head. Her eyes lowered to the crystalized yellow flower on its necklace. "Oh well, I will help you this once." It said and just like nothing ever happened it was gone.

She came back to reality and stared at the man who crouched on the ground, holding the blood spilling from his stomach. Griffith took off his helmet and rushed to her side, pulling her shoulder. "Thank you, I owe you a lot for risking like that but, I could have handled it." He bellowed cupping her cheek. Reino shrugged him off and contemplated what to do next.

' That charm, it looks just like the one on the handle of Killer Daisy. That must have been it. That god be-cursed demon who killed Morkenth.' She went off. Folish broke her gaze from the floor shaking her "Let us dine! We won two battles!" They all ran off, both groups of mercenaries and sung till they both met the base of the Band of Hawks and members started to pull out food. Reino joined them all and ignored the feeling in her gut.

' Let's wait. But eventually, he will show his wretched face again.' She thought as she smiled at her friends.' Eventually'
