Lucius, The Light

Remaining Faith - Lucius & Kent

#kentofcaelin #sorry for the late!

“I know war is cruel. Now, do not get me wrong. I have been trained to kill, and I won’t hesitate to kill if it’s the only way to protect my people.” Kent felt like explaining a little further. “I’m just really sad that it is the only way. I am really sad.” If the knight repeated the sentence, it was because he was finally admitting that he wasn’t happy. Since his father died, his whole life had sunk into this ocean of sadness. He slowly lost all the people he cared about. And he had been left alone. Sure, Sain was his best friend, and he deeply cared for Lyndis. But he was still sad inside, very sad.

However, Kent was still Kent. Speaking about his past, or his deep feelings would not happen. It required more than a simple talk about faith and religion for him to tell his story. He did appreciate hearing Lucius’ though. It did make him think that he wasn’t the only one who suffered and lost a lot. Seeing how happier Lucius seemed to be, compared to him, Kent did wonder if he shouldn’t be more involved with religion. With a soft frown of his eyebrows, he said. “I shall pray more. Next time we come across a temple, I will pay to Elimine a tribute. I need its guidance to get back on my feet.”

“Of course, of course.” The redhead agreed as he stood up from the chair he was sitting on. “Let us help those in need.”

Lucius listened silently to the Kent's words, he looked really sad about this situation and Lucius understood him very well. Sometimes he wondered if all that kill had not changed him more than necessary, he knew that war sometimes did it. He was terrified of change, to no longer be himself, but he had only to pray a little to realize that it was not happened.

"I understand you very well, this are questions that we all made at least once in our life. Unfortunately there is no other way, not at this time. If there was, I'd use it willingly. I'm good with words, but I doubt anyone would listen to me right now." He said, sighing slightly. Often he hoped that words could help him to put an end to this conflict, but then he realized that, unfortunately, the opposing faction did not seem open to a dialogue. It was a difficult situation for those who, like him, hated violence, but he knew he could not do anything about that.

They reached, after a few minutes, the tent used to treat soldiers and Lucius walked slowly, trying to not disturb the wounded. He looked around, noticing almost immediately that those soldiers were not only of their ranks, but that among the wounded, there were a few enemy soldiers. Serra and Priscilla often said that as healer they could not let die a man, even if they were enemies. Lucius agreed with their words, and it was amazing how in that tent, everyone was equal. The blond approached one of the wounded and handed him a hot soup, helping him to sit and eat it. Lucius liked to help people, that why he always had a smile on his lips.

"Why are you helping me? I am your enemy!" the soldier said, looking into his eyes with despair. Lucius smiled at him, it did not matter who he was, to Elimine's eyes they all were equal.

"Ssh, it's not matter who you are. On Elimine's eyes, we are all equal." He replied, trying to calm him. Priscilla told him that many of those soldiers would die that night, but Lucius was hopeful and he would not surrender.

“Shh, it’s okay! It’s normal to have flashbacks, but you have to try to focus on me now.”

Lucius looked at his wife with a sad smile. He didn’t want her to see him like that but the flashbacks were so real that made him cry.

“I’m really sorry my love… I didn’t want you to… see me like that… They were so… so real. I… I’ll try to… to focus only on you. It’s so hard…”

When Lucina finally woke, it didn’t take long for her to focus on Lucius. Based on his appearance, he had already been up for a fair amount of time, and Lucina couldn’t help but feel a little bit guilty. She had continued to sleep while he was up… That didn’t exactly seem fair to her.

“You could have woken me, you know…” She murmured, rubbing the sleep from her eyes and starting to sit up. She then offered him a happy smile, noticing that he seemed a little bit more content than before.

“Did you sleep well after that little incident?” She asked, after a few moments of silence had passed.

Lucius looked at his wife with a smile, he had a great sleep that night and he had never left the Lucina's arms, which meant that it was a very peaceful sleep for him.

"I slept very well, on the other hand you were in my arms and slept quietly, how could I have nightmares?" he asked playfully, adjusting his hair with one hand. Since he became emperor it was hard to keep them tidy, sometimes he wondered why.

"Ahh how boring are this hair, it's since I became emperor that they don't stay in their place." He said complaining. He just winced when the guard knocked on the door, but he calmed down as soon as he realized who had knocked.

"Breakfast is ready, my love." He whispered softly when the guard put the tray on their bed and went out.

Remaining Faith - Lucius & Kent

Lucius listened to the Kent’s words in silence, trying to understand what troubled him. It was obvious that the knight was punished himself a lot because of the war, it was his duty to make him understand that it was sometimes necessary.

“Kent, I seem to understand that you blame for what’s going on, am I wrong? Sometimes in war you kill people without being able to do anything to avoid it.” He explained, then ran a hand through his blond hair and looked into Kent’s eyes.

“Elimine loves her faithful, but if you think you own her an apology and want to be forgiven, why do not you come with me and help me feed the wounded? It might be a good way to ask for forgiveness.” He proposed him, smiled widely. He did not think that the crimson knight would need to ask Elimine’s forgiveness, but if it was what he wanted, Lucius would not have stopped him.

Lucius saw in the Kent’s eyes some pain and he would do everything in his power to help him get out of that bad situation.

“Of course. Even if it’s not my fault if there is a war, I still contribute to its ravages. The people I kill for peace, they probably had families to feed.” Kent had started speaking, talking to Lucius was quite easy, and it was quite enjoyable to be open about his feelings. So he decided to continue. “I know what it feels like to lose a father. I know what it feels like to have your family be destroyed…” The knight added, closing his eyes so he wouldn’t display too much sadness. “And I still do it. Why? Why is killing the only way to have peace?” The redhead asked as he opened his eyes again. He was sorry to ask all these questions to Lucius; but at least he was already starting to feel a little better.

“If Elimine would look down at me and understand that I want none of this violence; then of course I will help you. My time is dedicated to help people.” Kent sounded determined, but he was still lost in his mind. His motivations and desires were still blurry. Maybe it was just a bad day.

#kentoflcaelin #it's a bit long

Lucius was pleased that Kent let out his feeling and showed his doubts and fears, it was positive. He understood how a person could feel, he knew what it meant to lose a parent because of someone and sometimes he even wondered what would have happened if his father had not died when he was three. He knew that Elimine kept for him a complicated life and full of obstacles, but he did not give up. He had moved on and Lucius was able to become what he was, probably this was his destiny.

"Kent, I myself do these questions. Sometimes I wonder why we have to fight and bring pain to other people, I know exactly how you feel. Yet, I often say that it is necessary and that, even though in our hearts we suffer, it is the only way to survive. In war we do not have much choice, it's us or them." Lucius kindly replied, continuing to look Kent in the eyes. He saw reflected in Kent's eyes his own pain.

"I killed many people in this war too and I also, unfortunately, will kill again. Elimine forgive me for this, as it will do with you. You know, I lost my father when I was a child... I saw him die in front of me, every day I remember the look of the man who murdered him and deprived me of the affection of my father. At the time I was three and my mother fell ill shortly thereafter, dying in a few days. They took me to an orphanage where, because of my appearance, I was constantly teased. Even one of the teachers treated me badly and, in my heart, I hope he will suffer. Often I think of the loved ones of the soldiers we kill and I feel bad for them, I would not want to deprive a child of a mother or a father, but if you think about it, it could be you in their place. And it's cruel, but war is like this..." said Lucius, bringing a hand over his face, sighing slightly. It was so long since he was telling someone how he felt and he had to admit, it was nice to be heard.

"Elimine forgives you, Kent. You can be sure of that." Reassured the blond with a smile. "Come on, there are many people who need us, now."

“Shh, it’s okay! It’s normal to have flashbacks, but you have to try to focus on me now.”

Lucius looked at his wife with a sad smile. He didn’t want her to see him like that but the flashbacks were so real that made him cry.

“I’m really sorry my love… I didn’t want you to… see me like that… They were so… so real. I… I’ll try to… to focus only on you. It’s so hard…”

Lucius nodded to his wife, they were too concerned about that situation and had to just relax a bit. They had with them a couple of soldiers, they would be safe. He was sure that nothing would happen, he had to feel comfortable. He closed his eyes slowly, pampered by the his wife’s caresses.

“I love you …” he whispered, before falling asleep.

Lucina smiled faintly as she listened to Lucius fall asleep, sighing quietly in contentment. At the very least, he trusted her enough to sleep next to her. Truthfully, that was all she could have asked for.

“I love you, too…” She murmured in response, quickly dozing off beside him.

They would need all their energy for the trip to the market… Lucina wanted to try and make it as good as possible.

Lucius had a peaceful sleep that night, he seemed a lot more relaxed than usual and, in fact, he hugged his wife as he slept with a smile. When he awoke it was late morning, he stretched and realized that Lucina was still sleeping in his arms and smiled slightly. That day was an important day, they had to go into town to reassure him that not everyone wanted to kill him and they wanted to hurt his wife. He must be ready and forces, he got out of bed, taking care that Lucina didn't awake and opened the door. A guard looked at him and snapped to attention.

"Could you bring us breakfast to our room?" Lucius asked strangely gentle, the guard nodded with a smile and ran into the kitchen. Lucius took the opportunity to freshen up, then he sat down on the bed next to his wife and smiled.

Lucius closed his eyes, he could not believe that those people had hurt that little girl just because had dragon blood in her veins. He shook the light tome toward himself, took a deep breath and said:

"I do not know what makes you say so certain, but I'm sure Elimine would not want all of this. It a little girl! Dragon or not, she is a human being and as such must be respected!" That words made the priests irritate and Lucius knew they would take revenge.

"Do not get in my way!" another one cried, attacking him.

"Elimine, give me your strength. Give me your light and help me throw it against those who walk in the dark! Shine!"

Remaining Faith - Lucius & Kent

As Lucius gently suggested, Kent sat politely on one of the chairs. His spine was straight, and he could almost look as if nothing were wrong with him. But it was obvious in the knight’s eyes that he was feeling quite depressed. It was the first time that the redhead was coming to someone for his religious problems. Sure, he sometimes talked to the castle’s priest, but it was nothing like directly asking someone for guidance. It did help that Lucius was a friend.

“I would like to assume that Elimine punishes me for the hurt I cause to people, by reminding me of events that did really hurt me.” Kent shook his head, refusing to remember those dark times in his life. “Is there a way to get Elimine’s forgiveness?” It was really hard for the knight, who usually would rather keep his beliefs to himself. Thankfully, he trusted Lucius; he knew this conversation would be kept private.

Lucius listened to the Kent's words in silence, trying to understand what troubled him. It was obvious that the knight was punished himself a lot because of the war, it was his duty to make him understand that it was sometimes necessary.

"Kent, I seem to understand that you blame for what's going on, am I wrong? Sometimes in war you kill people without being able to do anything to avoid it." He explained, then ran a hand through his blond hair and looked into Kent's eyes.

Lucius saw in the Kent's eyes some pain and he would do everything in his power to help him get out of that bad situation.

“I-I don’t know…” The girl said in reply. “They never really told me of where I came from…All I had with me was…my headband, and…this.” She showed a strange book from her left hand. It was clearly a light tome, but the markings on it weren’t known to anyone in Elibe.

“A-Ah..!” She sensed the danger, and tightened her grip on the tome. “Sir Yodel…where are you when I need you?!” She said in her mind, since the man was the only person she knew who treated her with kindness. Well, other than this man, but she didn’t know quite yet.

Lucius clutched the light's tome to himself, taking a deep breath. He wondered what would happen from that moment, it was a bit worried by the situation but he would not pulled back at that moment.

"You there!" He said one of the men. "Give us the child!" He rebuked, while other men reached him.

"No." Lucius replied, looking into his eyes. "I will not let you hurt this little girl any further. Go away." He replied, not moving a millimeter.

"You will pay for this!" the Priest said, narrowing his eyes. Rushing against him, but Lucius ducked nimbly and hit him with magic.

“Shh, it’s okay! It’s normal to have flashbacks, but you have to try to focus on me now.”

Lucius looked at his wife with a sad smile. He didn’t want her to see him like that but the flashbacks were so real that made him cry.

“I’m really sorry my love… I didn’t want you to… see me like that… They were so… so real. I… I’ll try to… to focus only on you. It’s so hard…”

Lucina watched in silence as the cleric left, before laying back down next to Lucius and giving him a small smile. She then shook her head slightly, before starting to play with his hair almost absently.

“Don’t worry about that… We’re both worried enough as it is… Let’s just try and get some rest, okay?” She asked quietly, before her eyelids started to flutter shut.

Gods… She hadn’t realized just how tired she was…

"I love you ..." he whispered, before falling asleep.

icedragonxdancer:

“W-Well…” The girl started to say, but gritted her teeth when the vulnerary was smeared on her face. “I-It’s a long story, but…P-Priests…did this to me. Th-They say my existence is against the will of Saint Elimine herself, but…I don’t know what I did wrong!”

She then pointed to the wound on her jaw, which was starting to scar. “They…They took me away from my parents shortly after I was born…They’ve done this to me my…whole life.” Her blue eyes were clearly indicating loneliness as well as fear, since she was kept away her whole life.

Lucius looked at her with concern, the Priests had done that to a child? He narrowed his eyes and sighed slightly, continuing to treat her wounds.

"Do not worry, okay?" he said, smiling sweetly. That you did not want trouble with him, not to be afraid.

"Why your existence should be against the will of Elimine?" he asked, confused. Probably the little girl did not know, because she seemed confused as he was. In the distance he could see the figures of some men came out of that part, Lucius hid the girl behind him and smiled slightly, as if trying to calm her.

Remaining Faith - Lucius & Kent

#kentofcaelin #that's okay!

kentofcaelin:

Quite fortunately, Lucius hadn’t been sleeping, and allowed Kent to enter almost right away. It was quite hard for him to do this, he wasn’t so used to opening up about his feelings or his beliefs to anyone. No one knew about his past, except Sain, and few were the people who could read his emotions on his emotionless face. But today was a day Kent didn’t want to fight against it. The redhead needed guidance, he needed to be hopeful and determined again. He needed to know Elimine was still supporting him. So, although he was quite uncomfortable, sensing Lucius’ confused look on him, Kent would try his best to open up as best as he could.

“Thank you for allowing me in.” The crimson knight first started. He took a deep breath, trying to give him confidence and then looked into Lucius’ eyes, convincing himself that having a discussion with the clerc could only help. Lucius would never hurt or judge him. “Something is.” Kent obviously stated.

“I apologise for not being able to explain it correctly, but I will try my best to put words on the way I feel.” So Kent closed his eyes in reflexion. Images of war were playing in his mind, cut by images of his past. Pleasant memories had completely vanished from his thoughts, and the knight did feel sad inside, sadder than usual. “I feel like I lost Elimine’s path. I am not hopeful anymore… I lack motivation… And my heart feels dark. It punishes my violence and the blood on my hands by torturing me with my past.”

"It's all right, Sir Kent." He responded immediately, understanding well how the knight felt. He had seen many people lose faith in different circumstances, he did not blame him if he felt lost. Lucius got out of bed, he went to Kent, making him sit on a chair, and looked into his eyes with a slight smile.

"None of us is perfect in this world, my friend. We all make mistakes, if we were perfect we would be gods, but we aren't. We are human and we fail many times, but you have to know how to get up." He began, sitting in front of him. Kent looked in trouble and He did not like to see his friends so down in the dumps.

"Want you to talk about those images? Nobody will judge you and I will know how to help you."

icedragonxdancer:

“A-Ah..!” The girl seemed to be scared of the monk, but let him come closer. Yet there was still some fear and anxiety in her eyes, knowing very well of what was heading after her.

“P-Please, sire…You’ve got to get away from here! Th-They…They’re heading after me, and they’ll…they’ll kill you if you’re seen with me…!”

Lucius looked at the girl and smiled sweetly, he did not seem to be afraid of that men. He was more worried about her, which was very scared and he did not want her to feel uncomfortable. Not with him.

"Ssh, do not worry about me. It's all right, it'll be all right." He said confidently, smearing the vulnerary on the child's wounds. He would not let anyone hurt her again.

"Can you tell me what happened to you?"
