The only non-zine FE3H merch I ended up ever drawing. :)a I really loved the Black Eagles route, but I wish it was longer. Edelgard’s story in Blue Lions and Black Eagles was very moving to me.
Your murderous F/O calls you into the dingy basement room with a short bark of your name. They’ve been down their for hours with a…guest.
You aren’t sure what to expect when you enter, but you’re not surprised either. They’re standing behind the metal chair where they have the person tied up. The figure is bloody, and doesn’t appear to be lucid any more.
Your f/o smirks when they see you. They have a knife in their hand, and they press the handle of it into yours, curling your fingers around it with their own.
They nod toward the figure in the chair. You know what they want you to do.
You can feel your fingers trembling as you hold the knife. It’s the first time they’ve given you this duty. This… Honor?
You take a deep breath, and hesitantly step up to the chair, desperate not to let your nervousness show. Not to disappoint them.
You draw the blade across the victim’s throat. Whether you’re disgusted or eager doesn’t matter in the end, the result is the same.
Your f/o smirks and places a hand fondly on top of your head.
It’s been a minute since I draw them together, @alejandrocj31 asked me about it, so I went through the sketches I had in mind. I’ll love to do more related to the scenes of my fic Awakening past. Just a little break from running from ganados.
