Emblembabe: Listen to me people of the Fire Emblem world! I am about to reveal a story not ever told of in the Fire Emblem

game known as Rekka no Ken! It was made by me, just so you know, and takes place before the cut scene in which Athos

explains why Nergal is so evil, at Castles Ostia, after the death of Ninian. So read, gain knowledge and enjoy!

I DO NOT OWN THE WONDERS OF FIRE EMBLEM...OH CRUEL FATE! Chapter One: Why? Castle Ostia: Hectors Quarters

Hector sat on the side of his bed with his head bowed. He felt tired and his head was aching. Emotions were swirling in him and

he felt hopeless. Lyn stood with her arms crossed. She was near the door and she too was feeling terrible, but it was her heart that

was aching.

"Why did this have to happen Lyn?" Lord Hector spoke with remorse in his voice "First it was his father, now.... Ninian"

Lyn put her hands on her face, finding the tragic memory unbearable.

"I cannot believe it!" she gasped "I know how horrible it is to loose a parent, but, it must be unbearable, to loose someone who

means so much to you too, by your own hand..."

"IT WAS NOT BY HIS HAND!" Hector interrupted, finding the tension in him so painful "It was the sword, could you not tell?

Eliwood could never move like that by his own will! A sword that is sacred?! A sword that is cursed more like!"

Lyn sat next to Hector, she bowed her head and put her arms in her lap.

"So that means the slayage of dragons was its only purpose Hector" she whispered "It took control over Eliwood's body to fulfil

that one purpose, regardless of what its wielder believes."

Hector sighed, "I just wish this never had happened. Eliwood is my friend, and I've had to watch the people he loves die in his

arms, and I'm left unable to do anything for him..."

"We are ALL friends Hector! I wanted to stop this too! I want to stop this whole war!" Lyn reassured "All we can do now, is

stand by each others side, carry on, and fight for good."

"You're right. We just have to do what we can for Eliwood. He is suffering the worst and we must there for him. But I tell you

now, Nergal will pay for this! I DETEST HIM FOR WHAT HE DID! To Eliwood's knowledge, he was killing a dragon against

his will, as far as he knew, he was protecting us, that is what the sword made him believe. And Nergal began to rip at

Eliwood's heart without him even realising it!"

"Stop it." Lyn said as her eyes began to swell with tears. She wanted to be strong. But Hectors anger made him continue.

"Eliwood ran to Ninian and STILL Nergal was mocking him! Laughing at him! Hurting him as he looked down on them! It was

like he was stabbing Eliwood and ..."

"STOP IT HECTOR!!!" Lyn screamed as she could no longer hold her tears back "DON'T MAKE IT WORSE THAN IT

ALLREADY IS! I'M IN ENOUGH PAIN WITHOUT YOU BRINGING THE WHOLE THING BACK! I WAS THERE

REMEMBER?! I WAS THE ONE WHO HAD TO COMFORT HER LITTLE BROTHER REMEMBER?!"

Lyn cried, hiding her face in her hands. She knew how angry Hector was but she was annoyed at how insensitive and careless he

can be. The emotions were still raw in her too.

"Lyn... I'm sorry!" Hector begged when he realised how carried away he had become, "I'm hurt! I didn't want to make it

worse! For either of us! I just want Nergal to pay! I want him to suffer for what we have suffered. I want to obliterate his plans for

controlling our world!"

"And so do I!" came a new voice from the door. It was Athos.
