I Will Be Your Knight
Chapter One: Aftermath And a New Beginning-
A/N: Well I have to say that stumbling on Record of Lodoss War was a freak occurrence. But I am so glad I did! It's a great show- I bought the collector's set of OAVs for my birthday last Sunday. I just love the story and the characters- any gamer would love this show.
I went looking and there weren't that many fan fics out there for this series, so I decided to write a few of my own to mix with the other wonderful stories. So I hope you enjoy my first attempt at a Lodoss War fic- it's a Parn/Deedlit romance, full of suspense, heartache, happiness, and adventure. Or at least I think it is :)
Oh it takes place after the OAVs- I haven't seen much of the TV series- so pretend those don't happen!
Disclaimer- I do not own Record of Lodoss War or any of the characters

"Thought you were taking off without me?" The beautiful she elf smiled as she leaned against the doors. "Lodoss can be quite lonely…" She said looking at him as cutely and seductively as possible. It must have worked since her partner, her knight, her champion was silenced with a surprised gasped.
He hadn't expected her out of bed so soon after nearly loosing her life. Quietly leaving would be for the best, he had decided. It was his fault she was hurt… not only for being unable to protect her from the evil as it took her right before his eyes- but everything. She came on the journey because of him… he couldn't fail her again. every time he looked at her now he didn't see the beautiful elf he had fallen in love with, no but the barely living Deedlit he clutched in his arms after the battle on Marmo was ended.
"Deed…" He whispered. He dared not say more, his unskilled tongue would give away his true feelings to fast. His skill with his sword had improved, but not his way with words towards the majestic she elf.
"Parn… I want to go with you…please?" Deedlit's plea came, as she steadied herself against the door. Pran exhaled the air he had sucked in, trying not to make it sound like he had forgotten to breathe. But the truth was- he had. Call it her charm, her magic over him, call it what you will, but the feelings he had within for her made him mush in seconds. However, he hid it well.
Gathering his courage he made himself continue out to his horse. King Kashue had insisted he at least take the horse, provisions and now a sword. Adjusting the side bags he was well aware of the elf that had followed him.
He saw her slightly limp out of the corner of his eye. He wanted to cry. The feelings inside screamed at him to do something… but what? Parn had never felt this way before. None of the beautiful women back home ever struck his soul. Maybe it was because Deedlit was special. She could fight off the toughest opponents and still be gentle and wise.
"Parn." She called out to him in the saddest voices he ever-heard escape from her delicate lips. He could feel the pain of his rejection to her request, for it broke his heart as well.
'Dearest Deedlit,' he thought as he mounted the horse.
Looking back at her she looked vulnerable again. A side of her he didn't like seeing.
Extending his hand to her caused the frown to turn into a bright smile.
Taking his hand, she summoned her energy and jumped on the back of the horse. Blushing a bit she held on to his waist as they took off out of the kingdom.
They had no specific road to take, no set path that beckoned them, so they simply rode.
"Deed?" Parn said nudging the sleeping elf in his arms. She gave a cute whimper and only tried to snuggle closer to his chest. "Deedlit, wake up…" He whispered again, while fighting off the blush that was forming on his cheeks.
Slowly her eyes opened. She looked up and saw Parn's face looking down at her.
"Parn?" She answered. "What? How?"
"You nearly fell off Deed. You fell asleep while we were riding. Why didn't you tell me you were exhausted? We could have stopped."
Deed looked away, "I'm sorry," she whispered.
Parn was taken back at this. He had never ever heard those words escape her lips before! He knew now just how tired she must have been.
With the horse now stopped, he gently lowered her to the ground and then dismounted himself.
Setting out a bedroll he made Deed lay down.
"You aren't fully healed. You should never have come Deed."
"But I wanted to come… and you were leaving." She tore her eyes away from his and stared into the fire he had made.
"Deedlit…" He wanted to say more… he tried even, but his lips remained sealed.
Instead he just handed her a cup of tea Etoh had given her to relieve some of the pain.
"Pran…" She began. Never before were words so hard to construct… she had flirted with him before and it was clear she had deep feelings for him, but uttering those words proved to be difficult. "Thank you." She whispered instead before sipping her tea.
"I would have come back to you… I mean to Valis… err… ah ." Pran said trying to quickly fix his miscoding. Well it wasn't really a slip up, more than an over expression of his feelings he tried so hard to subdue.
Deed noticed his fidgetiness and blush.
'He truly was a very interesting creature,' she mused to herself. Finishing her tea she watched the sunset with Parn not to far away.
As dawn approached Parn's eyelids opened abruptly. He had a very uneasy feeling. Rolling over he noticed the proximity between himself and Deedlit had considerably shortened during the night. Having had rolled off his mat and closer to the sleeping elf while asleep.
Her hand held on to his arm as the palm of his hand created a pillow for her soft cheek.
Leaning closer he was about to steal a kiss from her secretly until the sound of rustling leaves could be heard.
As gently as possible he pulled his arm from under her head. Standing up Parn pulled his sword out of its sheath. The feeling that they were being watched swept over him. Pulling the coverlet over Deed, he began to look around their campsite.
Who knows what wild creatures ran free at dawn in Lodoss.
Parting hedges Parn heard the rustle of leaves behind him. He quickly turned and saw two figures standing near Deedlit.
"Get away from her!" Parn yelled charging at the darkened figures without thinking things through.

A/N: So what do you think? Does the fic have potential? I enjoy comments and feedback, so don't be afraid to send something my way :)
Gotta run!
