No Saint to Follow, Part Four (FE1/3/11)
Feb. 13th, 2010 06:05 pm Chapter Four, "Strangers On This Road," is up here. FFnet finally complied with my request to add Malliesia to the drop-down list, along with Yubello, Yumina, and Sirius. Heh heh heh....
Anyway... here's where things start getting a bit... different. As I said, I'm sticking to the plot of FE3, but will be taking more liberties with the in-game dialogue and the world-building. Even more liberties than usual with the world-building, I guess. Anyway, in this chapter, Our Hero finally shows up, and he turns out to be rather different from Melissa's expectations. In short order, Melissa no longer knows what to expect from anyone, and nobody's taking time to explain themselves. It hasn't quite dawned on Melissa that, by her attempt to escape from the war, she's effectively volunteered herself for it.
Title comes from "Strangers" by the Kinks, which is one of my all-time favorite messed-up love songs. I once made a CD compilation based around it as a tribute to the protagonists of my original-fiction WIP novel.
