Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Fertility Rites: The Great Marriage ❯ Luther.... and Milliardo ( Chapter 1 )

AN: Italics are flashbacks, most of which are Relena's. Bold italics are other's pov. Those with ** are thoughts.

The minute I saw him, I knew he was my cousin. In him, I saw Aunt Morgose... her power and her hunger for more of it. He led me to the towers; past the rooms I knew and loved. It was rather unsettling, the way he gazed at me... as if I was some prey he captured. And I felt something I've not felt for the longest time... powerless.

"It's nice to see you safe... cousin." I shivered; the way he pronounced my relation to him... it was frightening and sensual. Undoubtedly commanding.

"Yes" I whispered, barely able to hide my breathlessness.

"They tell me you've trained in... Avalon, the 'holy isle'." Without looking at him, I knew that his eyebrow was raised... that his gaze was questioning, utterly vexed as if he didn't believe in it, though I knew he too had power like mine.

"Yes" I said. Before he could ask again, the blaring of the trumpets... signaling the bishop's arrival, along with Merlin and Vivianne interrupted us. I stood straighter as I remembered who exactly I was... what I was.... my position. I was a priestess... not some weak girl. I shouldn't feel like this, utterly weak and defenseless.

I left him standing there to meet my brother, who I hoped, was now up and awake. I ran down the stairs, wishing to be away from him and his unsettling gaze as I almost bumped with the many servants that our family had kept. I saw him with the soldiers, pulling them to mock fights to prove their strength and better their skills. I recalled that he trained in Zion, with the young Prince Yuy, in the training fields of Epyon mount.

Yes, I remembered how I cried when father pulled me away from him, proclaiming that he had to be trained so that in the future, he would be a good king and defender for our people. Earlier that day, we had coaxed me into riding with him on his favorite steed. We ran away from our tutors that day to tour the lands that we would have when we got older.... I also remembered how I was again pulled away from him when he returned for my own training in Avalon... Avalon, my fate... my prison....

*~*~*~* Milliardo's pov*~*~*~*

I was struggling with my sword as I used my left hand, which was injured from the battle that Sanq went through, as I fought with Alexandre, my best friend. He was a worthy opponent but I managed to dodge his sword thrusts and maneuvers, and in the end I won. I was past exhausted but was instantly mesmerized when I saw a young woman, with long strawberry blonde hair, running towards us. I asked him discreetly who she was and was surprised with his reply.

"Who is that girl?"

"Why... that's your sister, Relena." I almost winced. *How could I be attracted to my "younger" sister?!!*

AN: Hi! Sorry for the cliffhanger but it seems like a nice stop for now, right? And if your wondering, no it won't be a MPxRP, ok? I don't really approve of incest, you see? But Luther, their cousin, would want Rel to be his wife.... Although right now I'm actually considering a fling with Duo... but who knows?! And readers... DON"T YOU DARE FLAME ME!!! I'll send you curses if you do.
