Hi everyone! This time it's not a fic about Elsword, but fire emblem fates! I just love this game, .ever! So, here's the deal. I'm working on my own novel and webcomic, so I will do a chapter each months or two depending if I can. But because I had so much inspiration for this fic, I decided why not writting it? I would like to say that each chapter will have a song that I will recommend to listent while you're reading (for the mood). So enjoy the story and sorry if my english will sound a little bad, it's been a while since I've write an English story ( I'm a French Canadian) so be gentle please. ^^
For this chapter, because it is the prologue, I recommend guardian angel by abandoned all ships. And it is the only time it's a character's pov.
I don't own fire emblem fates.
Prologue : It's like yesterday…
? POV :
I can hardly remember why this war has started. In the beginning, mother was just trying to unite the two kingdoms together. They've all said that they believed in her, that she was right. Peace was at the palm of their hand if they were following her. She even met father, who in the beginning, didn't want to open his heart to her. But in the end, they both fell in love with each other and over the months, they had my big brother and after some times, they had me. But then, when the final battle was near, when mother and her army were finally in the place where our enemy was supposed to be, my aunt told me that an ally betrayed them and make sure to create an explosion only on their followers, but mother and auntie were both fine.
Then, someone in their troops, a man named Gunter, quote that mother and auntie Azura were both traitors and they should be put to death. Of course, the two of them tried desperately to prove they were innocent. Obviously father believed her right away and hugged mother, showing that despite having doubts in the beginning of their journey, he now clings into their trust very deeply. The retainers of father and mother believed in them too, so they joined father at mother and auntie side. One of mother best friend, a boy named Hayato and his wife Nyx trusted my mother so they joined too with a knight named Benny and his wife. However, when auntie Azura tried to speak with her husband, things began to be more violent. He couldn't trust the both of them and accused them of having played with their mind all along. Things began more savage and a battle started. Of course, mother and father didn't want to fight, but no one was listening with the exception of auntie Azura and the ones who joined them. Knowing they wouldn't try to believe them, mother order her remaining troops to retreat.
No one knew what happened of both the Hoshidan and Nohrian army. The only thing they learned was that they found a way to go back on their land without much of an effort. Mother believed it was Anankos who made sure they wouldn't be on their way. Her army stayed in Valla. It was their home now. Knowing she was from there, auntie Azura explained to mother that originally, they are cousins. Their mothers were sisters, so she was a vallite princess too. Taking aback by the declaration, she asked who her father was, but even aunty didn't know. She only knew about mother's birth when queen Arete, auntie's mother has been in Nohr. Father didn't care much, loving her just the same as always. For good measures, everyone decided that when all would be over, mother and father would become queen and king of Valla.
Over the months, my brother and I knew about our parents sorrow. Their siblings were not with them and it was painful to know they didn't trust them because of an accusation that man said. We learned with our own retainers that this Gunter was actually a spy of Anankos and their plan succeeded: making sure mother wouldn't defeat the silent dragon. And so, believing in this knight, Nohr and Hoshido restart their war. Our friends thought just like us: it was stupid of them to restart a war. Making a truce and them destroying it, claiming that one kingdom knew all along about this treachery. We, on the other hand were constantly moving from territory. Vallite soldiers were trying to dispose of us just like vermin so we had to flee. One day, father said we had to stop running and find a true safe place. Mother and auntie thought about it with father and they all decided to take a boat and go on another country for the time being. But for that to work, we had to leave Valla and return when we would be ready.
With massive efforts we manage to return to the South of the Bottomless Canyon. Hard for all the families, we had to leave the two lands our oldest loved and knew so well. But at the port, we met a face mother, father and auntie Azura didn't want to see: auntie's husband. Not only did he thought they were dead by now, but he was surprised to see children. Even more surprised to see two boys with auntie's hair colour. She couldn't keep it secret so she told him when they ran away, she was pregnant. I was only six at that time, so I didn't know very much why this man was so mad. The only thing I remember were screams, tears, blood and running...
? POV:
If we didn't know what a war was, then the oldest of the children learned what it was. It was horrifying. I couldn't believe why a man would cause so much destruction. No one of our party had been killed yet, but the innocent people were not spared of this man madness. Our plan to go on another continent has been a complete disaster. But we were saved by a little dragon named Lilith and she said that she could send us all to a deeprealm so we could relax for now. Dad and mom accepted, believing it would be the safest way for us, children, to grow in. However, we were warned that both Nohr and Hoshido could reach all of the deeprealms if they gained the wisdom to do it. Auntie Azura said that they would worry about it if it turned out they were going to search for us. Obviously they would, but I was a child so my only responsibility was to look after my precious little brother.
Years passed by real fast and we were happy, but it didn't last. Father learned that they were going after us; the two armies were. Mother was terrified of my baby brother safety and mine. I remembered that I've said I could find a safe place for all of the kids and the parents decided it was the best idea. Unfortunately...it never happened. When we were about to go, the Nohrian and the Hoshidan army entered the deeprealm. We were trapped. My brother was scared, he was just a ten year old boy and I was eleven. I was a little older than him, but I could felt my legs shaking in fear. All of us were.
But, one of the leaders took one of us, the oldest child of auntie Azura, claiming his sons won't become traitors, that they were welcome in their side. The oldest betrayed us, saying he always wanted to know his father and he asked our cousin, Shigure, to go with him. Instantly he refused, that their mother was right she said it wasn't them who trapped their army, but the man named Gunter. They've all began to laugh, saying it was the most stupid lie they've never heard. I was feeling so mad at them for accusing my parents of being liars when they were telling the truth when they and auntie Azura explained it to us when we were little. Never in my life have I felt so frustrated to be just a kid who couldn't help his family of being humiliated.
I froze when I heard a specific order: to kill us all. I was kind of happy my dad taught me how to wield a sword so I was quick enough to steal a steel sword from a nearby enemy and shield my mom. No one will hurt my mother ever again, no one! We were fighting side by side knowing dad was protecting my little brother from any harm. Even if they were strong, the bonds of our party were so strong that we couldn't lose. That's what I thought but all of a sudden, everyone froze in place when we heard the most sorrowful cries of all. My mom and I recognize that scream, it was my brother. And all of the army began to flee for no reason at all. We were not seeing what they were. The only thing I saw before tears and screams came over me, was the body of dad who was shielding my brother from that monster of Nohr. Dad was all bloody and my bro was crying, screaming at dad to not die, that he didn't want loses him. And then nothing, I remember something purple coming straight at our dad but nothing after. If only I could have seen what happened, maybe I could have known why I heard everyone gasping. But I remember nothing...
No one's Pov:
Now fifteen, the silver hair boy looks at the moon with a sorrowful look on his face. This day isn't a pleasant one. It is the day his father and mother died protecting him and his brother from being killed. They flee the battlefield with their friends but no adults survived. They were all dead. So for all of them, it is a day of grief and sorrow, a day when you can't possibly be happy and go hunting or play chess. Despite trying to change his mood, the boy couldn't find in his heart the option to stop his tears. How he miss his father and mother. No child deserved this. Maybe if the child is has bad has his parents, but even so, no one deserved to be an orphan.
Being too much inside his thought, the boy couldn't see his brother standing closer to him. He knows how much his little brother find this day hard. Grieving is never fun for anyone but it will heal over the time. For now, only tears can help his baby brother to feel a little better. So he did the only thing that can help his brother: he hugs him tightly. He can feel his own tears starting to show up. Maybe he too has to heal himself before saying he is fine.
The little brother can't find the will to stop his sobs any longer, so he began to sob like a madman. Every time this day comes, the only thing he does is sobbing, going inside his memories, crying, hugging his brother, sleep and sobbing again. This cycle can be dangerous for him, but what can he do? Nothing. It will always be the same no matter how much it hurts. Corrin is dead along with her husband, her cousin and their true friends. There is nothing they can do about it. The only thing her legacy can do is pray that they are at peace where they are and that they are watching over them.
However, what they didn't know is that on a different time of their world, an ancient dragon name the Rainbow sage hears them every time this day comes. And today, he will make sure those children are saved...
So, how did you like the beginning? Interesting or not? Leave a comment so I can know your opinion. And don't worry, you will know who is Corrin husband, Kanna's brother and who is Azura's husband too. You can try guessing who followed Corrin and which children are with Kanna . Give me 1 or 2 days for chapter1 because I don't want to leave on a spoiler like this. All of this will be discovered on chapter 1 ^^ Bye!
