Fire Emblem The Sacaen Bride

Chapter 3

As Lyn lay there in her hiding spot she could hear the sounds of swords clashing against swords. She would give anything to be free at the moment so that she could escape. But then she felt the cart moving and shouting for retreat. Lyn was now afraid of what was about to happen. It was clear that the bandits had taken the cart.

This situation was real bad for her. She could see the results of this fiasco clearly in her mind. First, the bandits would check the cargo to find her bound in the nude. Then they could either rape and kill her or vice versa. Either way she was not going to enjoy the results.

Meanwhile, at the Ostian Royal Palace, A frustrated Hector paced the halls. He had sent an invitation to her a week ago. She would have responded by now. Why did Lyn all of a sudden stop answering his invites. He was in desperate need of an escort for the Lycian League's Annual Ball which was soon to happen. He stared out his window and into the courtyard. There was Serra looking at the water at the center fountain. Next to her was her new husband, Raven, who was recently made captain of the Ostian Royal Guard. She was talking to him with a different smile than normal. He put on a face of shock and then thrust himself into her embrace. Apparently, Serra had just told him that either a Raymond or Priscilla was going to be coming into their lives soon.

Hector saw this and wondered for a second what it would be like to have a woman whom he loved tell him that she was going to have his child. Just then the doors burst open. A man walked in as pale as a ghost. The young lord Hector walked up to the man recognizing him as the messenger he sent to talk to Lyn. He asked very concernedly, "What happened? Why are you so pale?"

The man said in frightened whisper, "It is Lady Lyndis. Her home was burned down to the ground and there were signs of a small struggle all around. Please forgive me Lord Hector."

He didn't say a word as he ran from the hall and towards the courtyard.

Meanwhile Lyn had been discovered by the bandits. At first she was scared of them. Now she thought that it would have been better with a pack of hungry wolves. The bandits were none other than the brothers Reed. But how were they alive. She was then hoisted off the cart. Linus was the first to speak, "So nice to see you again." He had a forced grin on his face.

Lloyd was a little more polite to her, "You must forgive him milady. He doesn't have a lot of manners to speak of." He gave her a warm smile and then he called, "Ursula! Take to your tent and give her some fresh clothes."

Ursula took a look at The nude Lyn and then said, "It's alright. We have changed since Nergal. You're perfectly safe with us." Lyn believed her and followed.

Short chapter I know. I didn't do a disclaimer because I am sure by now you know that I don't own the Fire Emblem Franchise. Anyway R&R or the boogeyman will get you in your sleep.
