Well Hello everyone! Another story by well us! Yeah us! See giving some credit! Anyway this story is... Part two of Lord of Luck sort of! I mean Luck was in the title you should have figured that out.. And the Summary? Good point! Anyway this picks off about a few weeks after the Horrible / Really odd ending of Lord of Luck. Go check it out... It's a lot worse then this one will be trust me... Thank you so much for your support -_- Anyway In a stark contrast to how Plus! Is now written Lana (My Fiance) Will speak Italics in the notes. Yup it's me! =3 So on that note! It is time to begin!
It had been a few weeks since Grima and Naga's slightly odd wedding. I had been surprised at their near constant contact with me and my family though I was glad to know things were going well with them. I was King of Valm barely, After all I simply went with ideas that sounded right to me. Even if most of these ideas came from people with higher skill in such areas. Trade for one had improved slightly thanks to Annie and a few other things. Plegia was a huge boon in trade for us, Ferox was on good terms, Ylisse was not. Something was brewing and this wasn't the only sign. Chrom, Lucy, and Lloyd's disappearance had struck a blow to stability in Ylisse as far as anyone could guess. Also adding to this was Valm's spy network was diminishing rapidly. We weren't positive but, it seemed that Ylisse had become a no spy zone and we had a few people turn up missing quickly.
Further problems had included a report we had gotten from an old friend there who was running from Ylisse. The nature of this person was what bothered me. Why she would flee for safety for some reason had confused me greatly. I was strumming my fingers on the arm of my throne. Trying to figure all of this out. The person had just flung herself at my feet begging me for protection and gave me no reason as to why she needed it. I looked at my daughter Morgan who seemed just as troubled as I was. I sighed briefly and ran my fingers through my now long blue hair, My son Silver bent down and whispered to me.
"I say we do it Dad. If anything she did help us back then." I sighed again in deep thought and looked at Morgan who nodded at his statement. Letting her stay here was ok I guess. Still why had she, Her of all people need to flee.
"Cordelia please, What has happened there that causes you such distress." The red haired Pegasus knight turned Queen of Ylisse and now a Runaway from her own country looked at me with a slight bit of tears forming in the corner of her eyes. Her voice sounded a mixture of Sorrow, Worry, and hatred. An odd combination to be sure.
"They blame me for Chrom disappearing Frey! The people there attempted to riot, I was not ready for such a thing. I ordered some people to find Chrom but, it hasn't helped much with them. So a few had attempted to attack us. I fled here at Emm's request. She is trying to stabilize Ylisse. I don't know what happened after that." Hm, Now I knew that Chrom had been a figure for them. Still, It left much to doubt where he had gone. I closed my eyes tightly and looked at Morgan.
"Morgan, Gather the Five ok?" Morgan's eyes opened wide and I heard Silver step away to prepare. The five was basically the best and most trusted people I knew of. This included Silver and Morgan, It also required a special room created by Naga to talk to each other rapidly. Since Naga and Grima were a part of the five. I sighed heavily and looked at Cordelia.
"Stay here and rest ok? I will talk to you later. If you want I think Annie and Lana are in the courtyard with the munchkins. Just so you might have something to laugh or smile about for a bit ok?" Cordelia nodded and I stood walking towards the meeting room. I still wasn't used to the whole being King idea, If anything I had wished there were some way to give it off to Say'ri though she had been adamant about keeping me on that spot. I had passed by Kira who gave me a quick bow and a hug then used off to meet Say'ri for lunch. I had found her lack of calling me Master welcoming at first. Now I kind of missed her not being around as much. Still, life here was good. The castle was packed with children, and older kids, if you asked some of my guards. Owain and Morgan did act a little like children at times and one guard had told me he was resigning if they ever had a child. Chaos, it would be chaos I am sure of it.
Pushing these happy thoughts aside I wondered if Ash and Tiki had finally gotten their proposal done. I mean they had been together for nearly three years though given their ages it could be more or less considered a drop in the ocean so I guess they had time. I stood shaking my head outside the meeting room, I took in a deep breath and silently wished we had more to go on, or at least more luck to last us though this. I pushed open the doors and sighed at the darkness inside of it. A small flame was projecting from the middle of a table and was the only light source. Morgan and Silver stood just to my left and then four figures bursts in a small outline of themselves adding to the light.
"Ashur, Naga, Grima, a pleasure." I said as I lowered my head. Grima growled at me quickly and shot me a glare.
"What is the problem? We are having our own issues right now." I opened my eyes and looked at him running my finger in a circle on the table. Naga and Grima were close to each other, Naga's head was on his shoulder and their hands were tightly clasped onto each other.
"Cordelia has arrived in Valm, begging to be protected from Ylisse." I saw Grima's eyes open wide and his hand had gripped onto Naga's a bit more tightly.
"Yeah, well I got problems too. Tiki has vanished." Everyone snapped their attention towards Ashur whose face seemed to scream out sorrow. First the majority of Ylisse's higher ups and now Tiki? What was happening? I looked at Grima who I had suspected to be angry at Ashur yet he hadn't yelled yet, instead his anger seemed increased and inward as if hiding something. Naga had whispered in his ear, he relaxed and told us even more bad news.
"We have issues with people preparing some sort of attack, From Ylisse. We aren't sure who but, I had a group watching our borders and people seem to be amassing for some reason. I am not sure what it is yet." Morgan spoke now her voice tinged in anger.
"They wouldn't risk attacking you, they know of the treaty the two of us have. It would be suicide." I closed my eyes slightly and looked at Ash who nodded in agreement with Morgan's statement. I sighed heavily wondering on what to do.
"Ash you don't have any information huh? You've been taking off since the war because of Tiki." Ashur interrupted me quickly.
"Yeah I did. Now though I need to double time my information gathering. I can start in Ylisse but, Even then I am not too sure they are the issue here." Silver started to speak the question that I wanted to ask.
"Then what is?" Ashur's face contorted in a small amount of rage. He was trying to suppress it but it was clear he was angry over something.
"The outrealms. You guys ever go?" I nodded slightly, Annie and I had gone a few times to the resorts and such for anniversary and the like. Never encountered a Risen in those hot springs though.
"More then I would like but, that's in the past what is up with them?" Grima said as ashur's hands curled into fists and he took a deep breath quickly.
"The outrealms do not exist on a strict time line of it's own. It is very possible to end up anywhere at any time using them except the world you came from. So you can't go back in time in this world using the gate but, you can go back to another time that mirrors this one see?" I nodded as did the others who were around the table.
"Well, Let me just say, That there is a little problem with a Man called, Nergal and he might be stepping on some toes. I think we need to help." My eyes opened wide and I whispered under my breath.
"Oh fuck me..."
So Thoughts? Does the Summary sort of make sense now? Maybe? You tell us! And tell us what you think! We know it's short but, most likely the chapters will be longer in the future. Till then Bye! Laters!
