Chapter 10: Sadness' Truths
Marshall was suspended in complete darkness. He looked and waited for the white light that Fionna spoke of but it never came.
"Marshall Lee, you have many truths that are not being seen."
"Yes, I know. I will let them all out after this Memoria Praeteritorum, I will tell her everything."
"Sages are not supposed to hold back their truths. You need to correct this. If all is not revealed the entrance to the Bellum will be denied to you and the young one."
"Please, it will crush her. She has to make it there. I promise we will talk as soon as this is all over."
"Very well Marshall Lee." With those final words the ominous voice vanished and Marshall was transported to a place that he was all too familiar with.
He was placed in a cold, dank room. The walls were sterile black stones with no light shining in at all. The room was completely black and if not for the wretched smell of death and decay he would not have known where he was. He floated silently feeling a fit of insanity creeping up on him. This was definitely not something he wanted to relive.
The large wooden door slowly creaked open as two large demons dragged a beaten and bloodied Marshall into the room. The light from the outside was almost blinding after sitting in darkness for so long. The two demons took Marshall's hands and cuffed them to shackles attached to the wall. A dark shadow casted upon the now shackled Marshall as the two guards left out.
Marshall looked on in horror as the agonizing memories of this flashback gnawed at his psyche.
"Mom, please you do not have to do this. Please I beg you."
"That is your problem now, you're too fucking soft. We had a deal, I let you save that worthless human's life so you now have to pay the price. I think that 12 years in here will do you good."
"I hate you, you horrid bitch." Marshall said spitting at her feet.
Hannah walked over to Marshall and struck his face with tremendous force, "I will dare you talk to me like that you insolent little bastard. Enjoy your little stay." She turned around and walked out of the claustrophobic cell and the door slowly closed behind her.
Marshall could no longer see himself shackled but the sounds of his sobbing and his painful cries for help were just as devastating. He floated out of the cell and off to where he assumed Hannah was, "I know she is loving all of this she hates me. She is probably sitting down in front of her desk gleefully smiling." He floated in her private office. The back of her chair was facing him and he could barely stomach the thought of looking upon her smiling face. He continued on until his was right behind her when he heard crying, "Why did my Marshy have to pick that human before his kingdom?"
Marshall finally floated in front of her to see blood tears flowing from Hannah's face. He had never seen his mother cry before, hell he did not even know she could cry, which would probably explain why she was crying blood. "All I wanted was all three of us to be together, just one big happy family; I should have killed that human bitch myself. My poor Marshy, 12 years of his life gone. My baby…He is all I have left."
"My baby…" Marshall repeated. "All three of us? Does she mean her, dad and me? If I didn't know any better I would say that my mom actually loves me. A bright light flashed before Marshall's face and when he regained consciousness again he was laying on the tip of the mountain's nose.
He shot up looking all around wiping the sweat from his brow, "Come on Fi, let's go home we have a lot to talk about."
"Yeah I have been waiting for this moment."
Marshall picked up Fionna on his back and headed home. He had so much to tell Fionna in such a short amount of time. He was not sure how she would process all of it. It was so much to try and accept. He just hoped that at the end of it all this that Fionna would still love him.
