Fire Emblem The Sacaen Bride

I Do Not Own Fire Emblem.

Chapter Thirteen

Castle Ostia was in an absolute uproar over the course of the next few months. With the winter solstice getting ever closer it was apparent that all sense of time was lost. Lyn had looked back and realized that it had been seven months since she had been taken from her home in Sacae. This overly apparent when she saw how fat Serra was and how close Ursula was to having her child. Graham, who had officially been sworn in as a vassal of Ostia, was normally seen talking to the walls about his only friend from Revlin and how he missed her.

Speaking of Revlin, he was pacing the halls of his castle and was not at all happy. He had made his castle free of all he mistrusted which left him with only a handful of servants and his Dark Druid, Vex. But he was currently waiting on a report from Vex who had apparently been sent to do some reconnaissance on the wedding.

Outside a lonely stable stood Graham leaning on his cane and just looking like he was resting. Just then, a black robed figure appeared from beyond the wall. Graham smiled and said, "I was wondering when you would get here Vex." He walked up to where Vex was and then asked, "What brings you here?"

Vex's voice was actually a feminine voice. It said, "I am here for Lord Revlin." Vex's robes began to dissipate and now a woman with silver hair and red eyes stared at Graham. She asked, "Why did you betray Lord Revlin?"

Graham then said, "Beacause for the past fifteen years I have been fooled into believing that he was a man of virtue only to find out that he is nothing but a monster. While we are talking about allegiances, why do you serve him knowing what he does?"

Vex Then said, "I feel no need to say anything about why I serve him."

"Quit trying to get away from the question with that bullshit. Now tell me why you serve him."

Vex turned away. Her eyes were filled with tears and she was trying to avoid his gaze, blind as he was he could still tell when someone was staring at him. She said, "I guess I serve him because I don't have a choice. My father Gave me as a blood slave for his sickening pleasure. If I disobey, all he has to do is break the bottle of blood that he has and I will die."

Graham then asked, "Couldn't you just kill him without him breaking the bottle? Or do you find some hidden devotion for him?"

Vex said, "For Your Information Graham I can't get close enough to him without endangering our…"

"Our what, Vex?"

Vex again turned away and said, "He has our son, Damican." Graham stopped breathing for only a minute and then Vex asked, "Do you remember that night we shared three years ago? That night you and I made love under the stars? The next morning I felt sick and threw up all that day. I got increasingly bigger. Eight and a half months later I gave birth in the privacy of a forest just outside the castle. I left Damican in the care of the midwife and visited him every day until one day Revlin followed me and then told me that if I wanted my son to live then I would have to stamp out my foolish thoughts of ever leaving his company like you did."

Graham remained silent for a second and then asked , "Why didn't you ever tell me about him? Was I so untrustworthy that you couldn't tell me of him? Or did you do it to protect him? Just tell me why Vex." He pulled Vex into his embrace and softly kissed her cheek.

Vex felt warm all over but quickly escaped his grasp and said, "No! I was sent here to spy on Lyndis. Graham, If you truly love me then please tell her to be on her guard. Tomorrow, Revlin will send out the Death Seekers. They will arrive the day of the wedding and kill all but her." With that she began to disappear.

Graham cried, "Wait!" But too late. She was gone. He quickly ran into the castle to warn of the impending danger. He thought to himself, "Not the Death Seekers." He could remember the last time the Death Seekers were used. One of Lord Revlin's Villages was planning an up rise and inspiring others to do the same. Lord Revlin called the Death Seekers and said to set an example. Three warriors razed an entire village and slaughtered it's people, men, women, children, and even their pets in one night. Who knew how many would be used for this task. He knew there were fifty an that would be enough to kill everyone in Ostia if they were caught unawares.

Meanwhile at Castle Revlin, Revlin was holding a little boy over a hurting Vex and said, "You see how traitorous a bitch your mother is boy? Well she is glad that I am merciful and will let her live for that little slip of the tongue. Now I'll just have to send in The Lucifer Project as well."
