Haha, nope. Marching band, terms test in WHH, English teacher is a jerk, marching band, concert band, marching band, and my flute broke. Both of them. And they're still broken, though both of them have been fixed. Sucks.

So, I've seen a lot of explanations for how Morgan lost his/her memory around, and I thought I'd do my own. Originally, this was going to be a oneshot, but I'm too lazy to type it all up right now, so you get the first half.

Warnings: Death, gore, implications of rape.


Another missive. It meant another death among her comrades. Say'ri sighed as she opened the letter.

I regret to say that we've lost Frederick.

Say'ri heaved another sigh. Chrom would have taken his death especially hard. The stalwart knight had helped him through the deaths of both of his sisters. She put the letter away and breathed the third sigh in as many minutes.

I'm turning into- She tried to shut that thought down, but the image rose unbidden: a redheaded Pegasus Knight spilling blood as she was thrown from her mount. Say'ri grimaced. Cordelia had been a good friend.

"Mama?" It was her four-year-old daughter, Morgan.

"Yes, love?"

"What's wrong?" She asked that with the same inflection her father always had – she was a living, breathing copy of him.

"Nothing." With a good hour of coercion – and tickling – Say'ri managed to get the child to bed.

Morgan trapped in her room, Say'ri returned to the desk to reply to Chrom.

"Nnnngh…" Something moaned outside. She immediately grabbed her last silver sword and darted to open the door-

On a familiar man in a dark cloak. She dropped her blade to catch Kahal before he hit the wooden floor. He groaned again, clutching his head. "Say'ri… go…"

"Kahal, what? How?" He'd fallen to the Fell Dragon! How could he be here?

"Run! Go!" Panic had entered his voice. What was going on? Say'ri stifled her confusion by embracing her husband.

"No!" he cried. His eyes flashed and turned red. Everything snapped into place in her head. Grima had come to kill her, and Kahl had fought it. The knowledge rooted her to the spot for a moment too long.

Grima leapt up and threw her into the opposite wall. Miraculously, she had kept a grip on the hilt of her blade. Though her head spun unpleasantly, she forced herself to stand and deliver a clumsy Astra.

Halfway through the attack, the thing in Kahal's body knocked her to the floor and pinned her there. "My, but you are attractive, aren't you," it said, easily containing her struggles. "My vessel had good taste in women, if nothing else." Say'ri shrieked in indignation, desperately trying to shift it off of her. "You've been quite a thorn in my side, you know." The words filled her with dread. "That gambit in the sea caves was inspired, worthy of the great Ylissean tactician." Kahal's grin showed from beneath its cloak. The familiar expression stilled her for a moment. "So I think I deserve something for my trouble," it finished cheerfully.

"No…" Say'ri was on the verge of tears. "Kahal, please" Her efforts returned with new strength, but who could resist the Fell Dragon?


It was hours before Kahal managed to wrest back control, and by then the deed was done. How could Grima have done this, just to torture him? Say'ri bled from dozens of wounds on her torso, and elsewhere. "Kahal…" her voice was an almost inaudible whisper, but he heard it. He collapsed at her side, the tears streaming down his cheeks going totally unnoticed. How could he have let this happen?

"Say'ri, I…"

"You have a daughter. Morgan." The last of her strength gone, the princess of Chon'sin breathed no more. Kahal returned to clutching his head, the memory of Grima's perverse pleasure fresh in his mind.

"No…" He appeared to be speaking to no one. "You can't."

Who said I would harm her? The Fell Dragon's rasp sounded in his mind. The child will be of more use alive than dead.


Me and my dark crap. R&R. Oh! I have an E&D chapter half-written (had to figure out how to start the plotline) and I have realized something awful! I don't have the full list for the 30 day challenge, so if someone could send me a link to the site, it would be much appreciated!
