I made a request for a Fates fanfic, but I've got so many ideas for it that I might as well try it out myself. Can't say how well it will work out considering I'm probably no where near the level of knowledge I need to make a compelling Fates fanfic. I mean, I've got the basic idea of what happens in the early chapters and some of the conquest and revelations routes (none of the birthright one XDD) but I want to try something new around chapter 6. Let's see how I mess this up.
(Anankos has been removed from the story, one because I don't know enough about him to write him in and I wanted to do something different that would help the story I have in mind. Vallite might also be completely written out so Azura might just be a princess of Nohr while Corrin and Kamui are Hoshidian royalty.)
The first thing she was aware of was the roar of a thousand voices, screaming, crying out in rage over the clash of screeching metal and pounding steps. Darkened armored forces charged head first into an army of white and grey, their movements blending in with one another so closely it was almost impossible to tell each other apart.
Blurry figures stood on each side, almost completely unconcerned with the battle raging around them, black blobs to her left and white smears to her right, all staring at her, awaiting a choice that would break her heart. Their calls and pleas to join them ringing in her ears until it was all she could hear.
"Big sister!"
"Come home to us, Little Princess."
"You're insane if you think I'll let you take my sister again!"
With each plea, a tiny piece of her heart broke, unable to side with either, desperately wishing to not take a side so she could protect all of those she had come to accept as her family. Neither side wanted to relinquish their ties to the white-haired girl and once again, she cursed her fate for forcing her to choose between her kin.
"I..." The words wouldn't come out, no matter how hard she tried. "I..."
Blinding pain struck her abdomen as she staggered and grasped her stomach, her arms stained with red as she fell to her knees. Gasping with blood spilling from her lips as the girl looked at her hands, speckles of liquid red sprinkled on her palm and leather guarded arm. She stared almost transfixed, unfamiliar with the leather strapped to her arm, and uncertain where her silver plated armour went.
Looking down at her wound, she noticed patches of green past the copious amount of blood. The soil beneath her was soaked, pools beginning to grow larger by the second and she knew this new next breathe would be her last.
Stumbling to the ground, beams of sunlight flickered through the clouds, gently coressing her face as she lay dying.
A bitter smile crossed her face as a large object continued to float beyond her field of vision, guided by a silver light propelling it upward. Screams of terror and anguish, cries of one who has lost something dear to them, voices she knew and only the thought that they would live on in peace after her death brought her comfort to her final moments.
"Well... I suppose...this is the end for me..." she said, words spoken softly and filled with melancholy and a promise fading from life. Tears forming and rolling down her checks, the girl raised her hand to the sky, watching painfully as the sky began to darken around her.
"I... never did...find out if you...were real..." She gasped, her voice wavering as her strength became to seep away from her grasp, "All...I can...hope for...is if...you are real...and are waiting for me to return... I hope... that you will wait... for me..."
Her hand fell with a quiet thud onto her stomach, too far gone to resister the brief sting of pain as the light began to dim.
"Kamui..."
"-y la-"
My dear sister
"Lad- Ka-ui-"
The light finally faded from his eyes as she wailed in agony over the corpse of the young man who shared her face.
May we meet again
"Lady Kamui, time to wake up!"
Kamui jolted from her bed, gasping and clutching her chest tightly, trying to prevent the tears from falling at the loss of something she couldn't understand nor remember losing. Her hands quickly falling to the area the Nohrian princess was certain had been punctured just a moment ago. Finding no such wound, she took several breathes, desperately trying to still her frantic heart.
"Lady Kamui, are you alright?" A gentle voice asked her.
The girl glanced up to see the worried expressions on her servants faces. The twins, Felicia and Flora sitting by her side, one holding her hand tightly with the other just barely hovering over her shoulder. Jacob and Gunter standing just a bit away, but ready to jump into action at the slightest hint of unrest in their lady's eyes.
"I..." She began, eyes trailing down to her blanketed form, "I don't know..."
Gripping her chest tightly, she said, "It feels like I almost lost something very important again."
How many more times could the sheltered princess go through this state of loss and longing before her heart finally shattered into pieces.
...Guess this is as good as any place to stop for now. If anyone wants me to continue, or if I screwed something up (or just forget it entirely), leave a review and I'll fix it as soon as I can.
If this is up for a new chapter, the next one is gonna skip to a point where the fic differs from the main storyline, because one of my main flaws is my lack of patience when it comes to something that would have been the exact same anyway.
