Chapter 9

Medea POV

"Jason told me terrible things about you." (y/n) said as he fell to his knees, "What things?" I asked, "He said you were evil. That you tried to kill your children. Please tell me it wasn't true, that despite everything I've seen, that you can fix it all!" he cried, "Jason is trying to turn you against me, sweet boy." I said, "He doesn't care about us, he only wants to hurt me again. He won't lift a finger to help you when this is over, my dear." I said, "He said he loved you once. He said that love can save us if we let it." he said, "Love won't save you, sweet boy, only I can do that." I said, "But at what cost? You're a good person, Mommy, please don't hurt anyone else." he begged I hugged him, "I won't lose you the way I lost my sons. I'm becoming more powerful than almost any Caster in existence, and I'm doing it for you. To protect you."  I said, "Let's run away. Just the two of us. I can have the family I lost, and you can have at least one child who loves you." he said, "Don't you see we don't have to run away. I'm close to ending this war. I'm more powerful than Berserker and Lancer. I can kill them! Together you and I can rule the world. Make things the way we want them to be!" I said, "I don't believe what I'm hearing. Jason was right, you're evil." he said, "I don't want to hear any more about Jason. The Argonauts turned against me, don't you turn against me!" I warned, "I don't know you anymore. Mommy, you're breaking my heart! You're going down a path I cannot follow." he said, "Because of Jason." I said as he moved away slightly, "Because of what you've done, what you will do! Just stop, we can be the family you wanted." he said as the door opened and I saw Jason looking down at us, "LIAR!" I snapped, "YOU'RE WITH HIM! YOU BROUGHT HIM HERE TO KILL ME!" I snapped as I grabbed (y/n)'s throat and squeezed, "Let him go Caster." Jason said sternly, "Mommy!" (y/n) said weakly, "Let him go!" Jason repeated so I threw (y/n) to the side uncontious. "You turned him against me!" I said, "You have done that yourself." he said, "You will not take him from me!" I said, "Your anger and lust for power have already done that. You've allowed this darkness to twist your mind... until now you've become the very thing you swore to destroy." he said as we circled each other, "Don't lecture me, Jason. I see through your lies. I do not fear the darkness as you do. I brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my kingdom!" I said as he checked (y/n)'s pulse, "Your kingdom?" he said, "Don't make me kill you." I said, "Medea, my allegiance is to my master, to ending this war!" he said, "If you're not with me, then you're my enemy." I said, "Only the truly lost deal in absolutes." he said sadly, "I will do what I must." he said as he summoned his spear, "You will try." I said as I drew my dagger. I flew at Jason and tried to stab him in the throat, but he grabbed my arms and kicked me in the stomach, I fell back and Jason put his sear to my throat, "You can't help it can you? You can't stop yourself from hurting me." I said making him look away in shame for a moment allowing me to blast him. I jumped on top of him and tried to slit his throat, after a brief struggle Jason knocked me away. "I'M ENDING THIS!" I laughed, "M-MOMMY!" (y/n) said, "MOMMY LOOK AT ME! STOP THIS!" he screamed activating one of his command spells forcing me to look at him and watch him cry, I reached out to him and Jason cut my hands off, "THIS WILL END IT!" Jason shouted as he threw his spear into my stomach twisting around my magic beyond use. I flew back and shattered the anchoring crystal dissipating my mana reservoir. "YOU LITTLE BASTARD! YOU DID THIS! YOU'VE THROWN AWAY ANY HOPE FOR HAPPINESS TO HURT ME! AND YOU! I CURSE YOU JASON! YOU AND YOUR DAMNED ARGONAUTS!" I screamed angrily as I tore the spear from my body.

(y/n) POV

"Here, you should put her out of her misery. I can't bring myself to hurt her again." Jason said as he handed me his sword, "I can't I'm bound by a Geis. I can't harm her in any way until my soul leaves this world." I said, "Then we will have to be cruel and allow her to suffer." he said, suddenly there was a gunshot and Mommy turned into glitter, "Come here (y/n)." Alexis said as she pulled me into her chest, "Go on sweetie, go ahead and cry, lord knows you've earned it." she said, "I must go and finish this war for my master." Lancer said, "Don't bother. She transferred her command spells to me shortly after you all left." Alexis said as she revealed her command spells.

"Lancer, I know what it means to end this war with a winner. Archer would never forgive me for hurting that girl. Even if she's technically in her twenties, she's a child and no one's gonna tell me otherwise. I don't want to dishonor you, but..." she said, "I see. You will not dishonor me. Do what you must." Lancer said as he left, "Thank you, Lancer." she said, "Now with this command spell, Lancer, I order you to take your life and return to the grail." Alexus said softly as all her command spells vanished.

It's been eight years since the end of the war, Alexus adopted me and had a ceremonial burial for my parents. I still think about that day sometimes and that curse, I love Alexus, but she thinks I'm silly for worrying about a nonexistent curse. I ran away two months ago and fell in love with a girl named Naudia. We moved into my old house and I'm planning on marrying her one day. I've also been meticulously recreating the workshop in the basement. I even got back Caster's catalyst after Alexus sold it. "(y/n), honey, I have kinda big and scary news...I'm pregnant." Naudia said I kissed her and hugged her, "This is wonderful!" I laughed as I spun her around.
