Welcome. This will be following the Conquest Route in Fire Emblem Fates, so I will be doing mostly plot Chapters. Pairings?...Does it matter now? I'll be doing a Revelations story similar to this one, side by side, so possibly on that story. The Branch Of Fate was done on my other Stories, and I won't be putting Battle Scenes, but that's to keep you safe.
I don't own Fire Emblem
A Dragon's Decree
Nohr - Throne Room
"I have returned, Father." Xander said as he entered the Throne Room with his Siblings in tow.
Yes, word of your work in Hoshido precedes you Son. You efforts shall not go unrewarded." Garon said as he sat on his Throne.
"Thank you, Father. I have other good news, it's about Kamui. She has safely returned to us...But Corrin has-"
"What!?" Garon interrupted, signaling Kamui to step up.
Kamui gulped as she stood in front of Garon. "H-hello, Father..." She stuttered.
"You! Why have you returned?!" Garon yelled, shocking the Royal Siblings.
"Father how could you say such a thing?" Elise whispered as she stepped behind Camilla's form.
"Do I look like a fool Kamui? I know that you and Corrin have been at Hoshido's Castle this whole time. Obviously if you are still here, Corrin has been swayed by the secrets of your birth...So why did you bother to return and not with Hoshido?" Garon questioned.
"I can say without a doubt, she's a spy for the enemy forces. Why else return to your nation's enemy's side? It's only logical, if not a bit idiotic." Iago stated.
"No! I am no spy! I would not stoop that low!" Kamui retorted.
Xander took a step forward. "It's true Father, there is no doubt that she is are ally."
"How can you be so sure? Surely you have proof of such a statement." Garon said with narrow eyes.
"Yes of course! Although it was her first battle, she fought off the Hoshidan army all alone." Xander lied.
"Xander? That isn't wh-Ah!"
Leo quickly jabbed Kamui with his elbow to shut her up. "Stay quiet, not a word..." He whispered sternly.
Xander continued. "We also saw Kamui decide to return to Nohr with our own eyes. We all did..." Xander took a deep breath. "But because of that choice, Prince Ryouma and even Corrin himself took it upon themselves to try and kill Kamui, thinking she was under some spell. If she was a spy, why would she risk her life for us? And to fight off and alienate herself from her brother and family no less?"
"Hmm, a convincing story...But it proves nothing! It all could have been an elaborate ruse! How could she have fought off both Prince Ryouma and Lord Corrin herself?!" Iago doubted.
"Silence Iago! As crown Prince of Nohr, I swear it was no ruse...You weren't even there to witness it. How could you have possibly known what happened? Everything I said, is true."
"That's enough Iago." Garon ordered. "You words have been heard and considered Son. Now Kamui, where is the sword I gifted you before you left?"
"The sword...It exploded, along with Corrin's, while I was staying in Hoshido. If it wasn't for Mother-!...I mean Queen Mikoto, if she hadn't sacrificed herself to save Corrin and I...We would have surely died in the explosion." Kamui frowned.
"How very touching..."
"Umm...Father, I need to ask you something. Did you plan it? T-the sword I m-mean, knowing that it would explode in front of us?"
"Kamui, that subject could have been brought up at a later date..." Xander whispered.
Kamui shook her head. "No, I must know. I must know for myself, and the innocents that were killed." '...And for Corrin...' The thought made Kamui come up with more doubts. "D-did you raise us only to send us to our deaths in Hoshido? To become the spark that causes the war between the two nations?"
"Those swords were just swords. I know nothing of this attack of which you speak." Garon denied.
"A-are you sure? But..."
"I gave you my answer girl! I won't say it again!"
"..." Kamui lowered her head.
"Hmph, still doubting the King are you? I say it's better to be safe then sorry and consider her a spy and be done with it already." Iago grinned.
"Sadly, I must agree. With the two nations now at war, we can't risk having a spy in our midst...Xander, kill Kamui. That's an order." Garon said with closed eyes.
"What!?" Xander yelled with a dumbfounded expression.
"Father don't do this! I beg of you!" Camilla begged.
"Please don't do it! I don't want to lose my other sister!" Elise plead.
"That's enough out of you two Princesses. Even the Queen can't overrule the King's direct orders." Iago snorted.
"Xander, no more stalling. End this quickly." Garon said annoyed.
Xander clenched his fist. "I won't do it! I'm sorry Father, I can't follow this order!"
"Haha, what's the matter? Don't have the guts Prince Xander? Or are you going Traitor like our beloved Prince Corrin." Iago taunted, rubbing salt into the wound.
"Stop this! Xander is not a traitor!" Kamui glared at Iago before continuing. "Father, this won't be a problem anymore if I just...Disappear correct? Don't bring the others into this, it'll be the same if I do it myself. Right...Father?"
Garon rose an eyebrow at the claim. "So you are still willing to trade your life for theirs? Interesting...In that case, I shall allow the Great Anaankos to decide your Fate." Before anyone else could say a word, Garon stood up from his throne and spread his arms to stare at the statue in the ceiling of the room. "Quiet. I shall now seek the counsel of the Sacred mystical Dragon, Anankos. He alone shall decide Kamui's Fate."
"...Anankos?" Kamui repeated. '...Why Anakos? And not the Dusk Dragon..." She wondered, the name left a sick feeling she never felt before.
"Mighty Anakos, I call upon your wisdom on this day of reckoning! Grant me a vison...Show me the way..." Garon nodded. "...Understood, it shall be done. Fate seems to have smiled on you today young Kamui. As decreed by Anankos, you shall be accepted into the Nohrian Royal Family...After you passed his Test."
Kamui's brief moment of relief faded in an instant. "A test?"
"You shall first, suppress the Ice Tribe's rebellion. Only then, I shall welcome you back into the fold as my daughter and all will be as it was..." 'Somewhat as it was...'
"Suppress the rebellion..." 'I-I...Don't need to kill them to complete the demands...' "I understand Father. I won't let you down."
Xander smiled reassuringly at Kamui. "Don't worry Kamui, you'll do great. I'll even prepare the troops for you."
Elise hugged Kamui's arm. "Yup! And I'll be there to help heal any wounds you mig-"
"It seems you fail to realize the task at hand children. To fulfill the wishes of Anankos, she must perform this task herself. Kamui will deal with the Ice Tribe's rebellion alone without help and that is final." Garon said sternly.
"Father, that is simply not possible...Kamui hasn't experienced the outside world long enough to even find the Tribe's village. It's too much to ask of her." Leo frowned.
"Is that so? Then kill her now, I will not discuss the matter further."
"Urk...Understood Father, I apologize for my rudeness."
Kamui smiled at her siblings gratefully. "Don't worry, I'll find a way to accomplish this alone..." 'Somehow...I mean...I have the Devil's own luck don't I...' "I will accomplish this task and return Home without fail." She nodded, before turning to leave. "Now if you'll excuse me...I must make the preparations for my journey."
Soon after everyone left the room, leaving Garon alone in the Throne Room...
"Ahahaha, interesting...The traitor has now left all alone, just as Anankos ordered...Soon she shall experience true pain...And Corrin will be the key..." Garon laughed.
Not known to Garon, Xander waited just outside the Throne Room. 'What does Father mean by that?...Wasn't the lost of Corrin enough?...Does Father really intend for us to suffer? For Kamui to suffer? If so...' "I know what I must do..." Xander nodded to himself, before swiftly leaving the area to speak with Elise.
That's the end of this Chapter, what did you think? Now, I'll mostly be doing Chapters that'll have the most different scenes during the story, since there are now two avatars. Next Chapter will be Chapter 9 - Another Trial. Sorry if the story will be a little jumpy with those Chapter skips!
