The Light of One Shy Warrior

Raven looked so stunned as he fell to his knees. Lyn rushed over to him. " Raven. Raven we'll get him back. We'll find him. Don't worry." she said. She knew that Raven and Lucius were like brothers. SHe didn't want to say something that might make him lose hope or faith. He looked at her and nodded.

Raven got to his feet and looked at Hector. " Lord Hector, I wish to help you look for him if that is what you plan to do." Hector was puzzled.

"Well of course we are going to look for him! He's a good friend to me and the others. And I would never leave you out of the search. You and Lucius are so close." said Hector. Eliwood and Lyn nodded in agreement.

As the sun set, the small group of warriors headed for the one place that Nergal would take Lucius, Dragon's Keep.

Dragons' Keep

Lucius woke to find himself chained to the wall. He had a strange dream of two young kids that were playing with him and called him brother. He didn't understand. He never grew up with any younger siblings. Only the memory of a mad man for a father came to his mind. Lucius looked around to see no one in sight. Damn how do I get out of here? As soon he looked back to the door it opened, Nergal came in. He walked over with Soina.

" Lucius you are awake. Good. Soon I will have my new vessal."

"Vessal? Is that why you have captured me father? Why not take my brother or sister?"

Nergal froze in place. He took Lucius from his brother and sister for a reason. They were more of a prize then he was. They had powerful gifts that he didn't have. Nergal looked at his son.

"I have you Lucius, because you are my only kin here. My other two children, went back behind the Dragon Gate. And you're the only one that isn't. You have finally become of some use to me."

Lucius was full of anger and disgust. " You're a heartless man from hell! I'll never become your new vessal. I would rather see you burn in the deepest part of hell."

Nergal looked at him and then smiled. He walked toward the door. " You don't have a choice in this, Lucius. You will become my new vessal, so I can kill Eliwood and his friends. And if they want to kill me, they will have to kill you."

And with that said Negal left and Sonia followed. Lucius tryed to get free from the chains so he could kill his father. He learned of the part of his life that was taken from him, and he wanted it back. BUt he couldn't have it. So he decided to have the next best thing. Revenge. Ninain and Nils were his brother and sister, and he was going to get vengance on his father for taking them from him.

Dragon's Keep

Raven and the others walked up the rocky and steep road to the castle where Lucius was being help prisoner. Hector was carring Lyn in his arms. She was tired and very weak from the fighting that tryed to stop them from getting this far. Eliwood was infront of Raven and he was looking out of the others. He didn't want them to get hurt. Raven was the one Eliwood was really worried about. He hoped that he would stay calm when they got to Luius, he could only hope. Hold on Lucius. We are almost there. Raven thought. He wanted to get his friend back more then anything. And nothing was going to stop him.
