Part 2- Corrin's Enslavement

"Corrin was taken?!" Ryoma gasped in disbelief, his siblings all having similar expressions on their faces.

"How could you have let this happen?!" Xander said to Robin and Soren accusingly.

"If I may," the group turned to see Kaze standing there. "I followed my liege discreetly, and it turns out that the Golden Seer may in fact be Seidr from a dark future... disguising herself as Seidr would be child's play for her."

"Smart of her to take the stealthy approach instead of the direct approach," his brother Saizo commented.

"A future Seidr?!" Robin gasped. "Just like how I became the Fell Dragon's vessel in a dark future..."

"She must have had this planned out from the beginning," Soren shook his head. "The attempt from two months ago may have been meant to deceive us into thinking she would try something similar this time around..."

"Kaze, why didn't you do something?!" Elise complained.

The ninja averted his gaze. "... If I had tried, I found have been de-aged to nothing by Gullveig. Believe me, I hated being so powerless... but it was better to live and relay the bad news to you all..."

"At least, do you have any idea where she took Corrin?" Ryoma inquired.

"She said that she was taking Corrin to her realm, until the end of time," Kaze responded. "That being said, since Gullveig is Seidr from the future, we may have a chance of following her there with that goddess' help."

"So we can rescue her!" Elise hopped once in elation.

"But how could we stand against such a powerful goddess...?" Sakura fretted.

"Indeed. At least here we had defenses set up, but to confront Gullveig in her own realm..." Soren mused.

"Clearly, our best bet would be to try and catch her off-guard somehow," Robin spoke up. "Gullveig might not even realize that we have a way of accessing her realm, which could give us an advantage..."

"So we would have to strike hard and fast; no mercy," Xander concluded.

"But what if she uses dear Corrin as a hostage?" Camilla pointed out. "Or even worse..." she trailed off, apparently unable to voice the worst-case scenario.

"As a brainwashed minion?" Leo finished in his sister's stead.

"Oh no..." Hinoka grimaced. "We can't fight our sister like that..."

"We might not have a choice," her brother Takumi stated grimly. "If Corrin had the Omega Yato, the Fire Emblem, then maybe..."

"But Gullveig has likely already disposed of that weapon," Soren countered.

"...Wait. Takumi, you just gave me an idea," Leo said.

"I did?" the archer said in mild surprise.

"Well, let us hear it," Soren requested curtly.

*Meanwhile...*

(...Where am I...?) Corrin thought as awareness slowly returned to her... she felt like she was wrapped in something warm... and pulsing... her eyes blinked open, looking down- and gasping in horror as she saw herself bound to her chest in golden snake coils!

"Ah, you've awakened." Corrin turned her head to see Gullveig floating a short distance away. "Sorry for restraining you, but I didn't want you lashing out when you woke up..."

"Are... are you really Seidr?" Corrin couldn't help but ask. "Why are you doing this?!"

"Because I have no choice," Gullveig's smile faded. "My path is a closed loop... many times have I tried to change things, but it always ends the same... That's one of the reasons I was attracted to you. Despite being the offspring of a dragon god, you had the ability to choose your own path... the path of light... the path of shadow... or allying with both to defeat a greater threat... If only such options were open to me, but alas."

"Seidr..." a single tear dropped from Corrin's eye. "But that doesn't justify you kidnapping me!"

"Perhaps not. But I stopped caring about such things long ago..." Gullveig sighed. "I just want... some form of happiness... even if it's a facade... just something..." She floated closer, but instead of going for a kiss, the gorgon knelt down instead. "This may seem sudden, but I must ask... why do you go barefoot when the rest of your body is clothed? Were you not allowed shoes in your youth...?"

"Uh..." Corrin's brain briefly locked up from the sudden shift in topics. "Um, well, shoes always seemed so tight and uncomfortable growing up, so I just went without. Sure, it hurt when stepping on rough terrain or pebbles, but I got used to it... w-what are you doing?!" she gasped, feeling Gullveig teasing the soles of her feet with her fingertips. "I'm not ticklish!"

"Indeed, your feet are too calloused for that," Gullveig agreed. "Let's try something else then..."

"Like what...? Ahh, stop!" Corrin protested as she felt warm moisture on her toes. "D-Don't lick my feet like that...!" She squirmed in her coils as Gullveig gently sucked on her toes...

"What, you don't like that?" the goddess teased as she stood back up. "In that case, let's try something a little more... direct." With that, she leaned down to kiss Corrin directly on her lips, only for the manakete to turn away, resulting in a smooch on the cheek instead. "Hmph, stop resisting... it's not as if you have much choice in the matter."

"My family will come for me!" Corrin cried defiantly.

"I highly doubt it; no mortal can access this realm. And even if by some miracle they did, it's already too late..."

"W-what do you mean, mistress?" Corrin stammered... then she realized what she'd just tacked on the end. "Wait, mistress?! Why did I..."

"Allow me to enlighten you," Gullveig said with a chuckle, one of her snake heads lifting up a mirror before her captive... As Corrin beheld her reflection, she gasped as her once-red eyes were now golden in color. "Do you remember when I first kissed you six months ago? That wasn't just to indulge myself... I was imparting the Golden Seer's Curse upon you."

"The curse...?! No..." Corrin whimpered in disbelief.

"Oh yes. It took a while to take full effect... but now you see why I said this was inevitable," Gullveig taunted. "Now, my dear servant... kiss me."

"Nnn... ne... nyes, mistress," the manakete whispered, lifting her head and meeting the gorgon in a deep lip-lock, her now-golden eyes sliding shut as their tongues began to duel, moaning in mutual pleasure... the golden snake coils then dissolved, allowing Corrin to embrace Gullveig wholeheartedly, as snake heads began to emerge from her own white locks... Gullveig returned the embrace, her snake heads gently nuzzling with the newborn ones from her new servant/lover...

*Back in Askr...*

"Gullveig... is me?!" Seidr said in disbelief. "Is that why I couldn't perceive her when using the Rite of Light...?!"

"Most likely," Soren nodded grimly. "Though we have no idea what would cause you to turn to evil in such a matter... but as Ashera can attest, not even a goddess is immune from corruption..."

"Do not despair, Seidr. I myself was meant to be the vessel for a Fell Dragon bent on destruction of the whole world... but I was able to change my fate thanks to Chrom and all my companions," Robin assured her. "That being said, you and Gullveig being one and the same presents an opportunity for us... namely, you may just be able to access Gullveig's divine realm for us to go rescue Corrin..."

"B-but... I have no idea how I could even do that..." Seidr fretted.

"Well, first, let us head to the exact spot where Corrin was abducted," Soren suggested. "If Gullveig accessed her realm from there, there might be a chance we could follow her from that spot. It's a long shot, but we have no other option..."

"Right," Ryoma nodded. "Let's get ready to head out. Kaze, I trust you can lead us back to the exact location where you witnessed Corrin's kidnapping?"

"Absolutely, High Prince," Kaze nodded. "I won't fail my liege Corrin again..."

"I-I'll do my best as well!" Seidr concurred. "Although I still don't understand why I would go after Corrin... I don't desire anyone like that, man or woman..."

"We'll likely find out when we confront Gullveig," Soren noted.

"Well, I hope that gorgon's ready to have her head split open when we find her!" Camilla growled, gripping her axe tightly.

"J-just as long as it's hers and not mine..." Seidr stuttered, slightly intimidated from the sexy princess' murderous aura.
