Title: Eye for an Eye
Fandom: Shining Force
Rating: PG-13
Notes: mild spoilers, mention of facial scarring

The scar down the left side of Earnest's face, across his eye, was a constant reminder of his mission. He'd been lucky not to lose that eye, the priest had told him as they hid in the bushes like dogs. He'd had to protect the local vicar - these were the sort of monsters who would break ultimate taboos and attack him. He would need healing in return. At least, that had been his excuse. He hadn't been running away. No.

This time there was no priest, no excuses, only the fortress as he prepared himself to storm its walls.
