"Worthy"
by Sara Jaye
Just a random, spur-of-the-moment ficlet I came up with this morning. ^_^
After realizing there's like, no fanfiction about Lowen I decided to
write one of my own. He's just such an interesting character. ^^
***
"A knight of Pherae must never falter."
How ironic that this should be my motto. For faltering is what I seem to
do best.
All I want is to be a worthy knight of Pherae. I want to do my best for
Lord Eliwood, for General Marcus to be proud of me.
But I always seem to do something wrong. I always get nervous.
Yesterday, I forgot to prepare breakfast for Lord Eliwood. I stumbled a
bit during our march, and General Marcus scolded me as usual.
"You've got heart, boy. But that's about it," he said. As if putting my
heart into our cause isn't enough...if I don't shape up and practice
harder, I'll never become as good as Lord Harken or Lady Isadora.
At least Lord Eliwood respects me and treats me kindly. Too kindly,
though, considering I'm supposed to be one of his guardians. He tells me
it's okay if I forget to make breakfast, or if my spear arm is a little
unsteady. So naive...doesn't he understand? It's not okay! I can't afford
to make any mistakes, especially now! The journey ahead of us...it's
going to be a long, difficult one, is it not? I can't afford any errors!
Wow, listen to me...maybe Rebecca was right when we spoke earlier...I am
too hard on myself.
I can't help it, though. Sometimes, I feel so useless...I'm supposed to
protect Lord Eliwood, but General Marcus and Lord Hector can do that just
as easily and much better than I can. Cooking? Any of the women in our
army can just as well do that. And those knights of Caelin are much more
skilled and confident on the battlefield than I can ever hope to be.
"A knight of Pherae must never falter."
Maybe I was just never meant to be a knight.
And yet I keep trying. Despite everything I have going against me, I must
not give up! I WILL become a worthy knight of Pherae! Not just for myself,
but for everyone dear to me! Someday...
For now, though...maybe I should work on overcoming this insecurity of
mine.
Just you wait, General Marcus, Lord Eliwood...everyone...someday, I WILL
show you what I am made of!
-End-
Aah, that felt good. ^_^ As I said, Lowen's just such an interesting
character, and when you consider his "death" phrase, it's kinda ironic...
^_^;; Poor guy, he seldom gives himself enough credit. But he works hard
and cares about Eliwood and Rebecca and everyone...plus, he can be a
pretty badass paladin if given the effort. XD
