Lucina

Life has been a living hell for me... The future is doomed and my parents are dead, aunt Lissa and cousin Owain are also deceased. All I have left of my family is my little brother Morgan.

But why? Why did it come to this!? I failed as an Exalt and as an older sister to my brother! Right in front of me is my own blood relative, my poor baby brother! Morgan is almost no longer himself, he's trying his best to fight off Grima's grasp on him. Yet he struggles while I just stand in front of him. Afraid and trembling.

"Lucina... Please... K—kill me... Kill me while I'm still human!" His voice is shaky and he's falling apart.

"Morgan! Please fight it! I don't want to lose you too. You're my only family I have left!" Tears spill from my eyes, while my hands tremble on the grip of Falchion.

"I-It's al—right, Luci. I won't hold my grudge against you. J-just remember t-that I— UAAARGH!" Morgan holds his head tight with his hands while he shakes himself in tremendous pain.

"Luci, please! Before I-I kill you!"

My hands are still trembling as I readied my Falchion and pointed it towards Morgan but I I can't do it! I care for him too much to hurt my own brother!

"AAARGH! LUCI I CANT FIGHT IT OFF ANYMORE! PLEASE!"

My brother kept screaming in agony and it looks like he was about to lose control. "I'm sorry Morgan! Forgive me!"

I couldn't stand to see my brother suffering any longer, but I didn't want to be all alone again. I'm sorry Morgan, I muttered to myself once more. I closed my eyes and charged forwards screaming in sadness until I heard my digging through something, someone.

Blood dripped from my blade by the sounds of it, as I open my eyes slowly, I noticed that Morgan was bleeding. My Falchion has stabbed him right on his heart while he looks at me with happiness, wearing a smile on his face.

"It's alright Luci... K-know this. That I've always loved you... My dear sister..." Morgan coughs out one final time with blood coming out from his mouth, with his voice sounding faint before falling to his side, dead...

I dropped on my knees and let go of my sword as I cowered in regret.

"Dammit! Why did you have to die? You promised that we'd save mother and father, Morgan... I can't do this without you! I need you, I love you. But I failed you as a sister."

I kept on crying which felt like hours while I held onto my brother's limp dead body, hugging it one last time.

*GASP*

I sat up on my bed and it was morning. Was all of it just a dream? I looked over to myself, I was still wearing my pajamas and then I looked to my left and saw Morgan still sleeping hard, like a baby. A single tear escaped my eye, I'm just happy that it was just a nightmare. I wouldn't be able to live on without Morgan by my side.

I got off our bed and changed back to my usual clothing and left the room for fresh air, hoping to clear off my mind from that nightmare I've experienced.
