Disclaimer: I own nothing from fable

Ok so I'm trying to get as much of the intro into the first few chapters so Marian can meet Reaver and we can get started on everything so there is going to be one more chapter after this that sticks to the intro but that chapter will be split into like two little chapters. So the first part will be finishing up the intro and the second part will be focusing on what is happening to Marian in the present and what's going through her and Reaver's heads so I hoped you enjoyed and leave a review and sorry for not getting uploaded this morning I have been deprived of my computer all day.

After Sparrow got to the guild with the diaries Theresa translated them and she said that he was conscripting spire guards at Westcliff. Sparrow was reluctant to let Marian come but Theresa pointed out that he needed all the help could get so she got to come along although Sparrow made her stay a safe distance from the fighting. The only place she didn't stay a safe distance from the fighting was in the balverine's lair but that was because she couldn't because of it being and in closed space. After they exited the lair they found themselves outside the Westcliff camp where two thugs stood watching the gates. When they went up to them they made fun of Marian and Hammer but before Sparrow could draw his sword Marian pulled him through the gates and up to the crucible. Mad dog and Allen Murray told them they need to become a little more famous to get into the crucible, and after Hammer made a smart-alecky comment they told her she could stay out for good. As Sparrow and Marian went down the steps of the Arena they began to talk about what they were going to do.

" Marian all I'm saying is that it's not a good idea."

" Sparrow I'm just as capable as you and besides you'll need all the help you can get."

"Fine but do you really think that they will let you go to spire?"

" All that really matters is that we get through the crucible alive and besides we will cross that bridge when we get there. Alright so this where we part ways and meet up once we both become famous enough"

" What?" Sparrow was now confused he want to become famous with his little sister not them become famous separately.

" Oh come on Sparrow I'll stick to the small stuff don't worry."

She then left him to his work and he hers. After leaving Sparrow to his work Marian found the Westcliff shooting range and she was able to get the red dragon. After that she went to Bowerstone old town to find two brothers who unleashed hollow men in Bowerstone Cemetery. As she went through the cemetery the hollow men got even more gruesome but they were no match for her with her new pistol, and the fact that every time she killed a hollow man she shot them in the head. After she got her reward for defeating the hollow men Theresa told her to go back to Westcliff and that Sparrow got them both enough renown to consider them both famous. When Marian got to the crucible announcers they were excited to see her and Sparrow.

" Oh good your finally here and is it? It is Marian the slayer." Allen said as both Marian and Sparrow exchanged looks.

" Well lets hope this little girl can hold up to her name in you two go." Mad dog said as he motioned them to head in but before they did Hammer wished them luck and Marian and Sparrow went into the crucible.

After the first round Sparrow looked at his sister who had not a single drop of sweat on her unlike himself he then reminded himself she wasn't as much into using melee weapons, and all she really had to do was aim and pulling the trigger of her Red dragon unless she was using will. Though it wasn't till the four round did the announcers even acknowledged her.

" Wow hitting three hollow men in a row that's and excellent shot by Slayer or as most know her as Miss Marian right Mad dog."

" Looks like she is holding up her reputation and her brother isn't the kindest to the hollow men either."

" That's right Mad dog."

Meanwhile in the stands Reaver watched as he saw Marian as she shot each of her opponents in the head with his first mate watching with him they were both astonished of how good she was for her age.

"If her and her brother survive this bring her to me and her alone in other words make sure that brother of hers isn't with her." He said as he gave a little smirk.

"Of course Captain Reaver." He replied knowing if he didn't it would mean he would be dead.

Sparrow and Marian climbed their way up the latter of rounds and with the spire so close in his grasp Sparrow was driven but as each round progress Reaver became even more impressed with Marian as she showed remarkable skill with her pistol, but as each round progressed Marian found herself even more scared for her brother not because he would be going to the spire alone but because he wasn't healing like he should have been and he wasn't drinking the health potions he had like he was suppose to. When they finally reached round seven Sparrow was exhausted he could barley swing his sword with out almost falling down.

" Sparrow come on drink a health potion you need it." Marian handed him the potion as she said that with a worried expression on her face but before she could talk him out of it he stood up gave her the health potion and walked into the arena. She then let out a heavy sigh and followed only to be greeted by an excited crowd of spectators. She heard the commentators say first wave and the battle began but her eyes widened when she saw the balverines but before the first one could leap on to her Sparrow blocked it and she shot it in the head.

Sparrow then gave her one of his agitated looks that said I had it under control and then went back to fight the balverines. They made it to the third wave Sparrow was now having trouble standing up but as the balverines appeared she noticed the that there was a white one and they all started to attack Sparrow. He was able to defeat them all but the white balverine was too fast for him and with one hard scratch of the balverine's huge paw he knocked Sparrow to the ground.

Mad dog then yelled. " Sparrow is down I repeat Sparrow is down looks like its up to Miss Marian to finish this round!"

But with a quick dash the White Balverine knock the red dragon from Marian's hand but before it could try to scratch her she dodged out of the way as she unsheathed her sword.

" Wow Marian the slayer has finally unsheathed her sword for the first time in the last seven rounds!" Allen screamed into the speakers and the whole stadium was on there toes wondering what she would do next.

Marian then looked at the White Balverine then to Sparrow and back to the balverine she then felt an anger inside her she had never felt before she then felt as if she had the strength of ten of Albion's strongest heroes. With a quick dash she was able to stab the beast multiple time and not get hit once the crowd was now screaming in astonishment and excitement till she brought the balverine to its knees and decapitated it. Everyone then started cheering louder even Reaver and his first mate gave her a little applause as she pulled up Sparrow from his knees.

" I told you I could take care of myself." Marian then said with a smirk and a playful shove.

Sparrow the shoved her back and said." Show off."

She the gave a little laugh and they went to win the last round. After about what seemed decades they finally defeated the troll and the crowd roared as they did but after a few minutes of cheering most of the crowd began to leave except Reaver he stayed in the stands watching Marian and after a moment or two she met his gaze

" Marian come on we have to get going." He then looked at his sister who usually listened to what he said but she didn't this time she just stood there looking back at Reaver till finally he tapped her on the shoulder. " Ready to go?"

She then turned around to face him breaking Reaver's gaze and replied to Sparrow's question." As soon as we leave you'll be going to the spire so no not really."

As they were walking toward the cullis gate he tried to think of word to help comfort her. " Don't worry Marian you'll see me again that's a promise."

Being a gentle man he let Marian exit first but when she left he looked back at the stands where Reaver was but Reaver was nowhere to be found, and before he went through the cullis gate he whispered to himself." You better stay away from Marian or when I get back I'll hunt you down and gut you like a fish.
