Authors Note
So this fanfic is named after my favorite song from Blind Guardian.

Chapter 1: Stupidity and Dragons
About a week had passed since the "incident". While the "Luck" conundrum has mostly blown over at the Loud residence, the rumor, like a cockroach, simply refused to die and had somehow spread to the boy's school. Lincoln was teased over his "bad luck" by the local array of bullies, but it didn't really bother him, or at least it didn't bother him more than most the teasing he already received over his more "geekier" habits. His small, but close circle of friends were still there for him, and as far as school goes, that's all he really needed. Even though the boy was mostly content with life, his family in general still felt a level of guilt over their actions towards him.

The bell rang and the classes began to transition. Lynn and Luan were walking together down the long hallways among the small crowd of students.

"Hey Luan", Lynn whispered to her older sister, trying to stay as quiet as possible.

"What's up?" Luan replied back, keeping up with the quiet, whispering tone. Luan was trying to think o some pun to fire back with, but the daily complications, trials and tribulations of school life was one of the very few things that wore on Luan's comedic spirit.

Lynn's eyes darted around, noticing the amount of students crowding the hallway. Sure, Lynn was never the shy type, but making personal matters public never seemed like a good idea to her. Instead, the tomboy began to make her way to the nearest bathroom while tugging at her sisters sleeves, indicating where she was going.

"I think we should discuss it in private", Lynn whispered into Luan's ears, an act that would no doubt get the attention of others, ironically because of how lowkey it be, but despite that, none of the students paid the act any mind. They were all caught up in their own personal drama, dilemmas and scenarios to pay attention to whatever the already-confirmed "weirdo" sisters were doing.

The two girls made their way to the frankly nasty girls bathroom. There, they stood behind the last stall. The used-to-be white, but now brown walls reeked of age and unhygienic practices, but also reeked for real.

"Man, this place looks like a real poophole" Luan joked, only for her younger sister to roll her eyes and sigh. "Yeah, even I know that was bad.." Luan sighed in a semi-defeated tone, which caused her little sister to chuckle.

"So, what's so important that we need to talk in private?" Luan asked curiously. After a split second, Luan put one and two together, or at least, she thought she did "Aww, are you in love?!" the older sister exclaimed in a very lovey dovey mushy fashion with the biggest grin on her face.

"W-What? No. Heck no!" the younger of the two shot back, making exaggerated "sickly" jesters to assure her older sister that she was not in love. "Ugh, anyway. Lincoln and his geeky friends are getting together tonight to plays some weird game in the basement" Lynn continued, her voice getting quieter.

Luan was trying to piece together what she was getting at. She could make out a faint degree of guilt in her tone, which lead her to believe it was about that incident.

"And...?" The older of the two asked curiously.

"And-I-think-it-be-fun-if-we-tagged-along" the tomboy blurted out quickly, almost to quickly for the comedian to make out.

"You still feel bad about the whole 'bad luck' thing too, huh?" Luan guessed.

"Yeah.."

"Sounds like a wonderful idea!" The jokester let out with a jovial and energetic laugh.

"Y-You're not making fun of me, are you?" The tomboy growled, dangling her fist.

The older of the two assured that she wasn't "I just think it'll be a smashing idea!", Luan once again gave a good natured and energetic laugh, which admittedly, made Lynn join in the laughing fit as well.

After a few seconds, the two girls decided that they should go and both made their way towards the bathroom door when they were met with a sight they didn't quite expect. A short boy with short black hair, looked to be about nine years old gazed upon the two girls with big, scared eyes.

"AHHH, GIRLS IN THE BOYS BATHROOM" The boy proclaimed as he ran away, shifting her eyes, Lynn noticed the sign to her right did indeed say they were in the boys bathroom the whole time.

"Dang it" the two sisters said in unison with a deadpan and annoyed expression.

The final bell rang, signaling the end of school. As the floodgates opened, a stream of countless kids rushed out, almost all just glad that school was over. A certain white haired boy and his glasses-toting best friend were among the crowd.

"Psyched for the big game tonight, Clyde?" The white-haired boyed asked, shooting his best friend a playful look.

"You know it, bro" Clyde replied, in his general good natured tone "Today I am Clyde MacBride, but tonight, I will be Sir. Clydesdale, knight of Avalon!" the boy bellowed in an overdramatic tone, causing his buddy to laugh in response.

"And I will be...uh...I haven't really thought of a name, yet" Lincoln replied, somewhat sheepishly.

"Need any help coming up with one?" Clyde asked. Clyde was always willing to help out his bro, whether it be a big or small problem. Honestly, at times, Clyde felt more like family than his actual family.

"Nah. Thanks, though" Lincoln replied, when suddenly he heard someone call out his name.

"Heya, Linc!" A familar voice called out from crowd.

The white haired boy was slightly caught off guard by his name being unexpectedly called out. Both he and Clyde turned their heads back. There they saw two of his older sisters, Lynn and Luan, with the ladder waving her hands to get his attention.

"Oh uh, hey guys" Lincoln called out with an awkward wave. He didn't hold much resent in his heart or their actions towards him. Really, Lincoln couldn't find it in his heart to hate someone for long. That said, he was still a bit weary of their presence. He knew they only meant well in the last few days, showing him an unprecedented level of casual kindness and polite behavior, but it all felt a bit off putting.

The white haired boy seemed to blank out for a second as before he knew it, his sisters were right in front of him.

"So, when's the big game tonight?" Lynn asked, eagerly.

"Huh?" Her sole brother replied, genuinely confused. He thought she was referring to one of her games, but why would he know? "Uhh, what game?" he replied back.

"The one you guys are playing in the basement" She asked again, giving an off an irked tone.

"Oh, uh, around five. Why?"

"Oh we were thinking if we could join in the game", Luan cut in "C'mon Linc, you'l be in for a roguishly good time!"she continued, falling into a self-accomplished laughter.

"I, uh, didn't think you guys would be into this kind of stuff, but okay" He replied, a sheepish expression painted on his face "There's just one problem".

"Huh?" Lynn was a bit curious, a perplexed expression formed on both her and Luan's face. An embarrassed expression overcame Clyde's face as well. Lincoln nudged his buddy and quietly asked him to say it for him. Letting out a sigh, Clyde decided to take one for his best bro. He puffed out his chest in an honestly rather cute way to seem tough and "in charge". Unfortunately for Clyde, this facade was blown with an exasperated sigh before even spoke a word.

"Well...Lincoln was still, uh, mad at you guys when we were writing ideas for the campaign." In unison, Lynn and Luan both slammed their hands against their faces, knowing whatever that meant, it probably wasn't good. "And so uh, all the villains are b-based off you guys..girls" Clyde once again let out a sigh. Yep, it wasn't good. Instead of being angry though, both girls started laughing uncontrollably.

"Uh, girls?" Lincoln and Clyde asked, both hopelessly embarrassed over what just transpired. "Pleeeease don't be mad", Lincoln asked with an almost-defeated facial expression. "We wrote that just a day after you guys kicked-"

"Say no more, Linc. I guess we just got to fight our inner demons! Luan blurted out, laughing far to hard at her own joke.

Despite the pun, Lincoln felt guilty and awkward over his actions. It seemed hilarious only moments prior, but he didn't know his sisters wanted to play only moments prior. He wanted to go back and rewrite the campaign as much as he could, but you couldn't just rewrite a grandscale adventure in an hour or two.

"Why would we be mad, bro?" Lynn said confidently, placing her hand on her kid brothers shoulder "It's pretty freaking genius if you ask me. And come on, I'd hate us to after the way we treated you"

The white haired boy looked up, his usually self-absorbed tomboy of a sister gave him a kind look that he didn't see from her a whole lot. It lifted his spirits and made him think that maybe, just maybe, the game wont be a trainwreck with them involved.

"Thanks, Lynn" Lincoln replied, obviously feeling better.

Unfortunately, the nice moment was cut short when the three children heard the sounds of bus's driving off, leaving them.

"Dang it" said the three stranded children.
