Thank you so much for the reviews. In response to one of them this is not a Raven Rebecca love story. I just added that in trying to be funny, maybe that wasn't a good idea. I like Rebecca with either Will or Lowen. and Raven needs a Women who'll fight him but thats beside the point. This story is focused mainly on Serra and Lucius. I am glad that some of you think this is funny. In fact when I wrote this one I was laughing as I wrote it.

Again thanks for the reviews I think two more chapters and then the story is done. Enjoy!

Serra and Pricilla where sitting beside Lucius trying to bring him back.

"Hey Pricilla, I need a healer over here. Right now." Hector called from some where in the woods.

"I'll do it Pricilla. You just try and help Lucius." Serra requested.

As soon as Serra took off Lucius began to stir. Sitting up he shook his head.

"Please tell me it was a dream." Lucius said shaking his head.

"What dream?" Raven asked walking up to the two.

"I think you better sit down Raven. This is big." Pricilla advised them.

"Ok what's going on?" Lucius asked rubbing his forehead.

"Serra, apparently thinks she is married. And the husband would be you Lucius." Pricilla said with a shaky smile.

"Why me?" Lucius asked his face ashen.

"Lucius a husband. Who'd of thought?" Raven commented.

"This is not funny Raven. When is she going to be back to normal?" Lucius asked.

"It could be in an hour. It could be a week, month, even a year. Or if she hits her head again." Pricilla answered.

Raven slowly stood up and took his sword out.

"NO Raven. I don't want her hurt." Lucius said laying a hand on Ravens arm.

"Just trying to help." Raven said shrugging.

"What can I do?" Lucius asked Pricilla.

"Well if you argue with Serra, and tell her she is wrong, that could make her worse. So I suggest your play the husband part. Hey you might even like it." Pricilla said smiling.

"If my fellow monks ever find out." Lucius mumbled.

"We'll make sure they won't." Raven said softly his hand caressing the sharp blade.

"NO violence Raven." Lucius reminded him.

Raven just glared.

"One more thing Lucius. Being her husband includes sharing a tent with her." Priscilla reminded him.

"This is so embarrassing." Lucius moaned.

"I'll go around telling everyone to play along with Serra." Priscilla said as she went off.

All of a sudden Serra ran into the picture crying.

"Lucius… I need a hug." Serra sobbed as she flung her arms around a stunned Lucius, and cried into his chest.

"Good luck man." Raven mouthed as he walked off.

"It's… going to be ok… child." Lucius mumbled patting Serra awkwardly on the back.

"Just hold me." Serra sniffled.

"What's wrong?" Lucius asked.

"Mathew's girlfriend is dead. And I… thought…if I ever loose you…I'd die." Serra whispered.

"Uh… You won't die if you loose me… I better go and give Mathew some comforting words." Lucius announced unwrapping Serra's arms from around his waist and practically ran away.

That Night

Lucius had set up the tent, and was scared to death to spend the night with his 'wife.' Raven and Erk were also there watching Lucius pace back and forth in front of the campfire.

"Raven, Erk. Help me. What if she wants… you know… to?" Lucius stumbled to say.

"Tell her you don't love her." Raven bluntly said.

"I can't say that. I'm supposed to be in love with my 'wife.'" Lucius argued.

"Simple tell her, you both agreed on not having any children." Erk suggested.

"Good. I like that better." Lucius said excitedly.

"Are you coming to bed Lucius?" Serra called from inside the tent.

"Better get in there Lucius, and do your husbandly duty." Erk snickered.

"Give your wife a kiss." Raven joked.

"This is not funny. Nor is it comical." Lucius said as he slowly went toward the tent.

"Hey Lucius. Kiss kiss." Erk said laughing.

"Knock if off guys." Lucius demanded. His face all red.

"What are you waiting for Lucius your 'wife' is waiting?" Raven said smiling.

"I can't do this. I just can't" Lucius half sobbed going back to the campfire and sitting down.

"There's nothing to be nervous about." Erk said.

"It's actually enjoyable." Raven said.

"I remember my first time. I was 17 and she was…" Erk began to reminisce.

"I don't want to hear it." Lucius said covering his ears.

"Lucius. You might even enjoy it." Raven grinned evilly.

"NO absolutely no." Lucius said shaking his head back and forth.

"Sssh." Raven commanded waving his hands.

Soft snores could be heard form inside the tent.

"Oh praise St. Elimine." Lucius said with relief as he headed into the tent.

"Poor guy. Bride fell asleep on the wedding night." Erk said trying to act sad, but instead Raven and him broke down laughing.

4th Night

Lucius was again pacing out side his tent.

"Nervous?" Raven asked as he sat down on the ground.

"Yes. I feel like I am taking advantage of her." Lucius replied as he sat down across from Raven

"How did the last couple of nights go?" Raven asked.

"She was fast asleep when I went in. However we sleep on the same cot and in the morning. I'm so ashamed… I had my arms around her." Lucius said softly.

"The feel of a woman brings much comfort." Raven said with wisdom.

"I'm not allowed the comfort of a woman." Lucius reminded him.

"What's going on, Lucius? Oh hello Raven." Serra said. She had stepped out of the tent. She was wearing a white night shirt of Lucius her long leges showing below. Her long pink hair was in braid down her back and wisps of hair framed her face.

"Evening. Lady Serra." Raven said standing up and bowing to the two before walking off.

"Don't you want to stay a little longer Raven?" Lucius called after him. Raven gave no response.

"Come to bed Lucius. The last three days you've gone to bed after I was asleep. I want to talk with you. I can't remember things… about… us." Serra said softly looking down and fiddling with the cuffs of her sleeves.

"Fine child. Get into the tent before you catch cold." Lucius ordered as the two walked in, Lucius pulled off his robe and laid down on the cot. Serra crawled in next to him.

"How did we meet?" Serra asked propping her head on her hand.

"Um… well, we were both walking; on the road… you mistook me for a woman." Lucius said smiling, as he remembered the way Serra had acted.

"No… your to handsome. I would never do that." Serra said smiling.

"Well you did. Anyway, I'm tired let's sleep." Lucius suggested.

"Lucius, why do you never touch me?" Serra asked placing her hand on his chest.

"Child… We both decided we don't want children" Lucius said trying to ignore the warmth of her hand.

"Ok, but you could at least kiss me goodnight." Serra said

"You want me to kiss you good night?" Lucius asked as he half propped himself up with his elbow.

"Yes. That would be nice." Serra whispered softly.

Lucius leaned over and kissed her on the forehead.

"There." Lucius said smiling at the frown on Serra's face.

Serra leaned in toward Lucius again. She tapped her finger to her lips, smiling wickedly. Lucius paled as her soft lips met his. She slowly kissed him. Lucius found himself kissing her back; his hand went to her waist, drawing her in closer. Lucius had no idea touching a women could be so pleasant. When the kiss ended Serra looked at Lucius with surprise.

"Do you see now why I don't touch you?" Lucius said angrily.

"Yes. I do love. Good night." Serra said as she turned on her side and went to sleep.

"Good night." Lucius whispered and fell asleep.

5th Night

Again Lucius was pacing up, and down the rows of tents, not wanting to go to his tent.

"Lucius. That's the 2nd time you've been by." Raven said from his seat by the campfire.

"I have sinned." Lucius said sitting down next to Raven.

"You… did you" Raven began to ask a little startled.

"Worse. Much, much, worse. I kissed her." Lucius moaned

"That's not bad." Raven said.

"No, it gets worse. I enjoyed it. And… I… kissed her back." Lucius said staring at his hands in shame.

"Oh" Raven said looking at his friend.

"What's it like Raven… I mean to love someone?" Lucius asked staring into the fire.

"I don't love anyone Lucius. Never have." Raven said tossing a stick into the fire.

"I thought you and Rebecca. Well you saved her… I assumed." Lucius said confused.

"No. She's just a child. And I'll protect anyone who I'm commanded to protect." Raven explained. "I need a woman who will fight one that will not cower in fear." Raven said with a far away smile on his face.

"Some one like, Karla perhaps. She positively frightens every man she passes." Lucius commented.

"Wait a minute. We're not talking about my problems. Do you love her?" Raven asked changing the subject.

"We talk at night, and… well, I don't know. I actually enjoy her company. Is that love?" Lucius asked looking at Raven.

"I don't know. I've never been in love before. Never really held a conversation with a women either." Raven pondered.

"Thanks for listening to me Raven. Good night." Lucius said

Getting up and walking into the dark toward his tent. Leaving Raven to stare at the fire. Taking a breath Lucius walked into his tent. Serra was sitting on the cot tears flowing down her face.

"What's wrong?" Lucius asked with concern as he knelt beside her.

"I can't… remember… nothing, like our wedding day... family." Serra said as the tears continued to flow. "Something that important…I can't remember."

Poor child this whole charade is confusing her even more. Lucius thought.

"I just remember waking up after I hit my head, and loving you. More than anything in this world. I even lost my wedding ring…I don't remember anything, about your family. Serra sniffed.

"Ok, well I was born in Etruria." Lucius began.

"I knew it! That, gorgeous blond hair. Where else would you be from? I can be such an idiot." Serra said brightening up tears and sorrows forgotten.

"…not all Etrurians have blond hair…" Lucius began.

"What rank is your family. Barons? Counts?" Serra asked excitedly as she leaned forward in anticipation.

"Child. I am… a commoner. My father was a solider fro hire. He died… when I was three. My mother died shortly after, and I was sent to the orphanage for several years." Lucius said as he began to change for bed.

"Dear child. Why are you crying again?" Lucius said exasperated that a woman could break down and cry all the time.

"No… you don't understand… I mean. I was raised in a convent." Serra wept.

"Oh?" Lucius said a little confused, as he put an arm around her shaking shoulders.

"Like you… I grew up in a strange sad place… I understand… What it was like." Serra explained.

"Child? Surely we two who have suffered so much. Were meant to meet. Destined by Saint Elimine. A am grateful to her fro bring you… to my side." Lucius said kissing the top of her head. His heart went out to her. This poor misunderstood child just needed someone to love her.

"Lucius I , too am grateful that I found you. The last battle is tomorrow, promise me you'll try to stay safe? That you won't leave my side." Serra pleaded to him.

"I promise child… now sleep" Lucius sad as the two pulled the covers up and fell asleep.
