Fire Emblem The Sacaen Bride
I don't own Fire Emblem.
Chapter 15
The Ostian Palace Grand Hall was filled with soldiers all dressed in what looked like black armor made of bone. Revlin looked positively menacing surrounded by his personal guard. Up at the alter stood what looked like fifty people armed with swords, axes, spears, bows, and tomes of magic. They looked ready to do combat. Hector, Lyn, and Eliwood had their weapons from the battle with Nergal. Hector said, "You have a choice Revlin. You can die here or leave and live."
Revlin scoffed and said, "That's my line Ostia. Only I don't give a chance to live. You will die." He looked at his soldiers and said, "Kill them! But leave The Sacaen woman alive. I don't care about the other women." Immediately Revlen's soldier's bound forward. Their weapon's looked like they were rusted over red due to the fact that they were never cleaned after a killing spree. Hector ordered his friends forward. He took up the front, his Armad slung over his shoulder. Eliwood was next to him with Ragnell held high. Lyn stayed back with the Sol Katti ready to strike at any one who broke through the lines.
Soon the entire hall was filled the sounds of weapons hitting each other and the sound of people, both of Hector's side and Revlin's side, being wounded. Revlin was walking into the fray with his weapon at the ready. It was long red blade with black markings on it. He brought it down on an Ostian royal guard and slew him. He continued to walk towards the alter where Lyn was waiting. She saw him advancing and took up her fighting stance. Halbern and Kessler took up theirs as well. Revlin cruelly laughed and said, "I see you can't wait to see your darling Madelyn again. Well then, I'll shall oblige you, Chief Hassar Kessler Yunari." Revlin rose his sword and glared menacingly at Kessler whose twin blades were a very formidable match even back then.
Halbern said, "You're not fighting just him. You're fighting me too. I am Halbern, The Lord of Lances." He pulled his lance and stared at his brother. They both averted their gaze to Revlin. Together they shouted, "Rage of The Plains!" But Revlin brought his sword down on their weapons. Kessler's swords broke and Halbern's lance snapped.
Revlin laughed and said, "This sword is called Purgatory and any weapon it touches breaks. The same goes with armor and life. For example," He grabbed one of his own men and pricked the soldiers hand. The soldier fell down dead. "Do you wish to feed my hunger for death? Then come at me." He swung his sword at Kessler but it was blocked. Lyn stood in front of her father. She said, "You'll find Revlin that this blade will not be so easily broken." Yet again she felt a twinge of pain. On her shoulder was the top of a needle.
"Lyn! Hold on!" Hector came running towards where Lyn was. He had the Armad ready to strike. Revlin Grabbed hold of Lyn and said to Hector, "You won't be able to stop me Ostia. Lyn and I will be married and you will die. I won't take that pleasure though. My creature will have that privilege." With that Revlin ran towards a window, jumped through it and was gone. At that time a huge creature burst into the hall.
Had hector not seen half the things he did in life he would have been scared at this deformity. It had the head of a human, while its torso resembled a compilation of rotting corpses. It had thirty mouths all chanting, "BLOOD!" As it walked, no, slid on the floor it picked up the dead bodies of Revlin's soldiers and even picked up the ones still alive. It used its many mouth's to devour each one and grow in size all the while chanting, "BLOOD!"
Hector was about to charge it but Graham said, "Wait Lord Hector. I shall take care of it. You must give chase to Revlin."
"Alright. I leave it in your hands." Said Hector.
Everyone except Graham and the creature left the room. Graham pet Scourge who sat on his shoulder. He began to say, "In ancient times, there were nine guardians of the world. Disaster of Earth, Zephyr of Wind, Flare of Fire, Undine of Water, Joule of Thunder, Grace of Healing, Saint of Light, Tyrant of Darkness, And their ruler. My family has guarded this lord for years. He always found us in one form or another. The time has come to release him. Foul creature, You shall face the Guardian of Life and Death, Pheonix! Scourge, I release the seals that bind to that form so that you shall be reborn again." Scourge flew from Graham's shoulder and began to flap his wings. A small golden flame began to envelop him. A near blinding flash of light illuminated the room and when it died the falcon was gone and what was there was a magnificent bird with fire golden feathers and piercing blue eyes. Pheonix let out a harmonious cry and flew at the creature. The Pheonix stared down at the abomination and tilted back it's majestic head. Light began to gather at its beak. It pointed its beak at the Lucifer Project and released the light. The creature was disintegrated by it. Pheonix landed next to Graham who was on the ground. He knew that he was going to kill himself releasing Pheonix. And then a miracle happened. For a second time in his life he could see but from his own eyes this time. He was in awe of the bird. All of a sudden the feelings of death he had were disappearing. A voice in his head said, "Do not worry. Your time to die is not yet. I am giving life to fight. Call my subjects for more of those creatures are at Castle Revlin. Only a guardian can contend with a demon like that." Graham wasted no time on words. He picked up his staff and proceeded to summon each guardian.
R&R. Maybe I did not do so well with this one but this is almost the end.
