DH: Back from hibernation, and I am sorry for straight up disappearing on everyone. Man, need to stop apologizing every chapter I write. Interesting news, Jem is tracking down someone on his kill list, and Vincent, not able to ignore an assassination, went with him. So they aren't here.

Warren: Which is why I am back here again.

DH: For the record, still have not forgiven you for the Tharja incident.

Warren: IT'S BEEN FOUR MONTHS!

DH: I NEEDED 50 STITCHES! All because Hope got the first story.

On the other hand, this story is a sequel to my NWDYHM. I highly recommend you read that first. If you didn't, hears a brief rundown. Chrom marries Sumia, He and Hope get drunk, they have an affair, Hope gets pregnant, Lucina and Morgan court, not aware they are related, Hope reveals her tryst, they all cope, Risen attack, Morgan gets killed by a Deadlord, Hope goes psycho, Morgan has postmortem chat with the manifestation of his memories, they resurrect themselves, and now Morgan is a freaking Risen. Confused yet? Good… READ THAT STORY!

Chapter 1

Day After

Morgan's POV

I am a Risen… I am a monster. You are still on that? UNLIKE YOU, I didn't know it would happen, so YES, I am still on that. Wait, does this count as arguing with myself? Probably. Wait why is Walhart coming over here?

Considering I am an hour walk from camp, Walhart wouldn't be casually strolling along this path. He had to be coming for me specifically. He stops under the tree I have been sitting in.

"Boy, are you here?"

"*sigh* I am up here. Why are you here?"

"I think that you someone who understands what's happened to you to talk to. Since we are in the same circumstance, I think I understand better than most."

"What can you say to help me through being dead!?

"Simple, I can tell you the positives of being a Risen."

"Positives? You have to be kidding."

"I am not. Have you realize you have been out of camp all night and half the day… and you have not yet felt tired?

Now that I think of it, I should be exhausted by now.Weird, I didn't notice either.

"Risen don't need sleep, they can march for days and still be in fighting shape."

I drop out of the tree. "So I can't escape my problems through sleep?"

All of a sudden he smashes his fist into my face, flooring me. I rub my injured cheek, "What the HELL!"

"You need to stop sulking, but that was for another reason. Notice anything?"

Should the pain have faded that quickly? Yeah, it should still be at least sore.

"We recover from injury fast?"

"No, to us, WE DON'T FEEL PAIN. The pain you experienced was your mind telling you that you should be hurting before your body realized you can't. The only blows that are important for us are the ones that would kill us."

So that's why the Risen we fought never flinched from our blows, I thought it was because they didn't have the free will to respond to the pain, when they never had any pain to begin with!

"Maybe there is more to consider. I should head back to camp."

On my way back, I am interrupted by Henry.

"Hah, perfect timing, can you hold still for a moment?"

"Okayyy…"

He mumbles some incantations, performs some hand gestures, and declares the process completed.

"What was that for?"

"I was checking your aura. I've noticed several strange occurrences in Risen. Three distinct readings, in fact. The first is a straight up level of relative power the Risen has. The second seems to imply control. Most Risen seem to share this one, but you, Walhart, and the "Deadlord" your mother mentioned all were unique.

"And the third?"

"The third is weird, as it has always been constant. You are the first time I have ever seen different."

Well, we revived ourself, maybe that has something to do with it?

"One more thing, There is some residual spell on you, draining your magical power. Your body is restoring it faster than it is being drained, but I don't know exactly what will happen if you use too much magic and deplete your strength."

"Your point?"

"I hope you inherited Chrom's skill with a blade, because combat mage is no longer a feasible option for you." With those grim news, Henry runs off.

?'s POV

I stand across the field, watching my target issue orders to the various soldiers performing their tasks. At some point I will have make my presence known, but I will wait for a bit longer.

You aren't the same frightened little girl running from Plegia anymore. You have grown strong, just like her. I promise we will meet again…

DH: Well that was one way to get back into writing shape.

Warren: ?, Really?

DH: That (OC) character will be revealed next chapter. Now onto the important stuff. The Poll Results! Warren, please read the results.

Warren: So that's why you wanted me here. Okay first is Dual Legacies, second is Why I Came Back/Convictions Re-invoked, and third is She Can't Be My Daughter.

DH: Just a few things to note. First off, I am scrapping Convictions Re-invoked. It was just a one-shot, and my personal test on one-shots did not turn out well. Second, I am officially thanking Cormag Ravenstaff for coming up for a different name for She Can't Be My Daughter, which is Parental Issues. Finally, I am working on side story to my works, The Soulseer, which will give a background and some history to my character Jem.

Until next time.
