This story is being posted in both my awakening, and fates story. The reason behind this is because of Severa/Selena, Odin/Owain, and Inigo/Laslow. I felt as if it fit in both. This goes with the thought that in birthright you can kill Laslow/Inigo.

"Laslow!" Blood pounding in her ears, the adrenaline pushing her body further and faster then she should be able to go. She dives under swords and leaps over bodies only to be stopped by a voice more thundering then her own.

"YOU MAY NOT FALL! Laslow! Ally to darkness!"

"Stop shouting that we are allies to darkness." Inigo laughs as he catches himself by digging his sword into the ground. Geez Odin you keep making us sound like the bad guys." The boy winces as he tries to push himself back up to stand. In moments they are at his side. His two closest allies. Inigo coughs and blood greets their vision.

"Guys, I think you should go."

"What? No!" Selena shouts over the sounds of battle. She could feel her heart thumping. Her mind unsure of what was coming.

"We will not leave you behind Laslow son of heroes!" Odin adds.

"It's either you guys go or we all die together!" Laslow yells at them, fear evident in his voice. "You guys have to get out of here. You have to find a way back home." Laslow insists as the Hoshidan forces grow closer.

Odin's face falls. "Inigo."

"Stop. Leave!" Laslow orders them as he pushes himself up. Blood was dripping from his legs. "It's too late for me, but not for you two." He says with a smile.

"You idiot. Do you really think we'll leave you?" Selena asks growing angry.

"You will, because I know you want to go home. Your mom is waiting Severa. Owain's to."

"You aren't suppose to," He stops her with a kiss. Holding the hand with her sword in it's wrist away from them.

"I know. Forgive me?" He asks as a blush creeps onto her face. "Ah, there you go. You are as beautiful as ever my dear Severa."

"Fool if you think I'll leave you now then,"

Inigo shakes his head and looks towards his other old friend. "Owain." A silent agreement passes through their eyes as Severa realizes what was going to happen.

"No! I will not go. If you die I'll never forgive you Inigo. Never!"

"Then it is a good thing you fell for Laslow." A sad, twisted smile finds its way onto his face.

She hears the words slither from Odin's mouth. The beginnings of a curse. Tharja use to whisper such things at night in her tent. She had to get away. Severa tries, but as she lifts her legs her vision grows dark.

"How dare you!" She growls at her boys before seeing nothing else at all. The last thing she remembers is hearing Inigo whisper a promise into her ear.

"I'll never forgive you." She is crying. There was nothing Severa hated more than to cry. "I'll never forgive either of you."

"I know." Owain whispers. Already he has shed his dark mage outfit, choosing to instead wear common clothes from Nohr for the last stretch of travel. "I'll never forgive myself either." He adds and it silences all the insults she wanted to throw. He had just lost his closest friend, just as she had. They never thought any of them would die here. Staying together, fighting together, training together just as they had always done before. Living with their secrets buried deep down within themselves. She had always found comfort in the fact that she was not the only one who knew the secret. That, in fact, Inigo and Owain knew as well. They never spoke about it, the three of them, but they all knew. It had always made her feel better, but now Inigo was gone.

"I'm sorry Severa." Water falls onto her hand. Looking up she takes notice of the tears. "I d-didn't want to leave him. I didn't but we had promised." A series of hiccups make him stop. "We had promised." Owain repeats when they finally stop.

A promise? One she did not know? "What are you talking about Owain?" Laslow had told her everything. They were together, and they trusted each other like they had never trusted another soul. He would not have kept secrets from her.

"Before we took on the names. When we had first arrived." Owain begins. "Inigo and I had made a promised while you were out. You were trying to find work, but we had taken a break in our search to eat. We knew there would be unknown dangers here, but we weren't sure what kind or how much. So we promised that if we had to make a tough decision or if one of us were too fall, the other would protect you. You were the only girl with us, and even though you were tougher then we he wanted to make sure that you made it back."

"You're lying." Her heart was slowing down, and a weight seemed to fall upon her shoulders suddenly. "You are lying. Laslow never hid anything from me. He would have told me. We told each other everything."

Owain shakes his head. "He was Inigo then. C-can we please just stop calling him Laslow? The other will wonder."

"How are we even going to get home? Huh, Owain!" She was shouting again. Anger, and grief mixing in a way that she had never felt before. Even when she had lost her parents she had never been this volatile. A voice in her head reminds her that it is not Owain's fought. He did not kill Inigo. He did not take Laslow from her.

"Damn it." Her voice chokes. Tears falling slowly onto the ground again.

"H-hey," Owain begins unsure of what to say now.

"What are we going to tell Olivia?" Severa questions.

"I don't know, but don't worry Severa. I'll figure it out. I promise." He hugs her, but she didn't want his promises. She didn't want him to fix things, because her love was gone. Their best friend was gone, and she doesn't want anything to be fixed ever again.
