AN: Ok I wanna say thank you Smashing Skunk52 for this paralogue.

His comment of "where the Exalted Hunks have their womanizing past catch up to them. Hordes of women(or maybe Risen females) flock to the hunks in the expectation of becoming their brides." got me the inspiration.

Well I had an idea of a paralogue similar but the risen part just made me hit an idea.


Paralogue 5: Karma Catching Up

"Oh my gods she's so cute!"

Morgan blushed from the attention she was getting. She nervously held Inigo's hand as hid her face with his side.

"True oh so true my little sister is adorable." grinned Inigo at the female villagers around him.

At this point, Inigo declared a quick competition late night. Each of the Exalted Hunks that was willingly to compete would try to get as many ladies as possible. Owain and Yarne accepted right away. Gerome shook his head, but a little taunting of Minerva made him thought otherwise. Brady and Laurent were busy with whatever their mothers requested them to do.

"So any beauties here know a good meal or two?" he asked with a smirk.

Inigo realized his disadvantages on the competition. Owain will charm them with his theatrics and tales of adventure while Yarne will charm them with his awkwardness and cuteness. Meanwhile Gerome, with his usual dark and aloof attitude, will melt any girl's heart with ease.

"Oh there's this bar the place is known for!" one of the girls beamed up.

Thus he decided to play the 'cute sister' card. He asked any of them though the responses were varied. Severa quickly punted him at the stomach accusing him of taking advantage of her cute charms, Cynthia Noire Nah were sleeping already, and Kjelle was hunting down the supposed camp ghost. That left Morgan who seemed bored at their tent. Inigo simply asked Morgan if she wants to hang out with him since she looked bored, which his youngest sibling nodded right away.

"U-Um Inigo?" asked Morgan nervously with a blush.

Inigo dragged Morgan to the bar and had an enjoyable time, though Morgan would say otherwise. The girl stood there look nervous with all these strangers around her big brother. Still she was given a free meal from these people so that put her at ease, a little bit. However she felt tense due to a unnatural presence somewhere.

"Later Inigo, Morgan!" one of the girls giggled as they walked away.

"Later my beauties!" Inigo waved back with a grin. "Come Morgan we must reunite with the others."

"Others?" asked Morgan.

She was dragged around the village again and the eyes were still following her. She could feel the eyes right towards her brother and it made her feel nervous.

"Inigo I think someone's following us." said Morgan.

"Oh more maidens to spend their time with me?" grinned Inigo excitedly.

"Wrong!" a muscular voice shouted as he approached the two.

"Um I am not your preference sir, sorry." apologized Inigo with a carefree smile.

"You bastard knocking up my sister then I see you messing around with other girls!" the man snarled. "Take responsibility!"

The man charged but due to Inigo's quick reflexes, thanks to his mother's graceful dancing skills, the man simply stumbled towards the ground.

"Good sir may I ask who was it again?" asked Inigo nervously.

"You don't even remember her name, you scum!" the man charged again.

Inigo swiftly grabbed Morgan and ran towards the crowded stalls. He glanced back seeing the man right behind them, he felt his body suddenly being snatched up.

"Too think some girl's brother would hunt you down." Gerome scoffed and petted his wyvern. "Good job Minerva."

"Dearest cousin you should not have sired as many pure hearted maidens than you should handle!" lectured Owain.

"W-Well these girls gave me some fruits and vegetables, they were nice!" smiled Yarne as he showed the basket.

"Well I was enjoying myself with good company at the bar." Inigo defended himself.

"Why is Morgan here?" asked Gerome as he glared at the flirty prince. "It is past her bedtime."

"I-Inigo told me we're having a sibling bond moment but all these ladies kinda scared me..." Morgan railed off nervously as she yawned.

"That desperate huh?" mocked Gerome with a smirk. "The cute sister tactic?"

"Well you have the mysterious man tactic!" retorted Inigo until an arrow whiffed over his head. "Woah an attack?"

"Damn get to positions!" Gerome growled. "Minerva take us down!"

"I-I don't wanna go extinct!" screamed Yarne in terror.

With Morgan at their side their tactics were able to outplay their unknown assailants. When the glowing eyes were shown within the enemies' hoods, they knew it was a risen problem. They were easily cutting through them with ease.

"Hey Owain?" asked Inigo as they get to position.

"Yes?" responded the dark haired man.

"T-These risens look strangely familiar." pointed Inigo out.

"Funny I thought I was the only one." scoffed Gerome.

"Y-Yeah some of their scents are kinda familiar?" Yarne informed them.

"Inigo..." one of the risens voice muttered.

"By the gods they knew of me!" screamed Inigo in pure terror.

"Marry me..." another muttered.

"Wait a minute." halted Gerome as he had a look of terror as well. "There were reports on increased risen attacks on peaceful villages."

"W-What about it Gerome?" Yarne cowered in fear, even though he was in his beast form.

"Villages that we use to resupply and rest." informed Gerome as everyone's eyes widened. "These risens were following us."

"I-I gotta get mother!" Morgan declared.

"Not the time Morgan, can't you see we're the only thing between them and this village?!" Inigo shook her shoulders.

"B-But I'm not as good as mother!" Morgan cried out.

"We believe and trust you." smiled Gerome

"Your mother is on another whole level compared to you, but we know you're capable. You have the biggest potential compared to all of us!" grinned Inigo as he patted her head.

The tactician in training nodded with a determined look and observed the battlefield. The battle was surprisingly quick but whenever the men took down another risen, they would feel guilty for some reason.

"By the gods I recognize that necklace!" Owain pointed at one of the last few risens. "A simply gift yet a maiden acted like it was the most valued treasure!"

"So you're saying all these risens are ladies that I..." trailed off Inigo until his eyes widened at pure realization. "Oh gods!"

"They must have discovered your man whore ways and seek retribution." pointed Gerome out

"S-Sorry I-I didn't mean to hurt your feelings!" apologized Yarne to a risen he recognized.

The risen nodded silently and dispersed into the ground. However the last few were somehow glaring at Inigo.

"You brought this to yourself." snickered Gerome.

"You see cousin you should never deceive a maiden's heart!" Owain declared.

"Maybe I should just have one mate..." Yarne told himself.

"Inigo what's a man whore?" Morgan asked, head titled despite the situation.

Inigo looked at the everyone in fear and sighed to his fate. He had a painful smile knowing what his punishments will be once he return to the camp, especially Severa for 'corrupting' Morgan. He stared at the sky with a blissful smile.

"By the gods I just wanted to be like my father!"


END AN: Well hope you enjoyed this chapter and all.

Don't worry Inigo didn't die, after he screamed those words. Morgan used Ignis to finish off the risens. LOL
