AN: I'm a horrible person and I shouldn't be making another story, but this has been stuck in my head. I know that Fates happened before Awakening and that Odin is future Owain, Selena is Severa, and Laslow is Inigo. I just thought this would be fun. All the chapters will be pretty short.

Chapter 1: Frederick and Xander

To think in this life he would be royalty. He did not believe in many things like ghosts and myths and reincarnation was one of them. But fate had a funny way of doing things. In this life he was, Xander, crown prince of Nohr.

This life was very different from the one he once lived, but like that one there was a duty he must uphold. The last one was to serve prince Chrom and make sure everything was okay with his lord. His duty as Xander was to defend his homeland and keep order within that land.

The day Xander remembered his past life was when he was turned eighteen. It was strange, waking up one morning and remembering a life that was now the past. Remembering a kingdom that no longer existed and defeating an evil that was no longer remembered.

After that day Xander looked at the others around him differently. Wondering, pondering, musing whether the people around him were the ones he once fought a god with. Is she princess Lissa? Was Lord Chrom also reincarnated? Would anyone remember the man he once was? He did not speak of these thoughts to anyone and never told anyone that he remembered his past life. He did not know why, but he didn't want to talk to anyone about it.

Maybe if he was still that wary knight he might have spoken about it, but in this life he wanted to keep these feelings to himself. His personality had similarities to his last, but he did not wish to speak much about personal things. He felt as if they were a burden and only spoke of those things if someone asked.

If Xander had to choose he would say he liked his life as Fredrick more. This one felt more taxing and everywhere in Nohr had a dark atmosphere to it. And when he was Fredrick he had his beloved friends, the Shepherds, his wife, and his child. Maybe they were here and maybe they weren't. Another thing about this life he didn't like was the war. The reasons were understandable, but they way it was being handled wasn't. His father and the soldiers had no compassion for anyone not even the people they are suppose to protect. They were ruthless and uncaring. When he was younger he once knew a father that cared.

But he was Xander in this life, not Fredrick the Wary. He wasn't that knight who served his lord, he was now a prince that needed to protect his country. He wasn't alone though. He had his siblings and his had his retainers. They were his happiness in this life and that was all he needed as Xander. Maybe they were the people he fought with when he was Fredrick.

AN: When I first say Xander I thought he looked like Fredrick. His personality is like Fredrick but he doesn't talk much and never really expressed feelings in the supports I've gotten with him so far. This chapter became more depressing than I had intended too.

Chapter 2: Lon'qu and Ryoma
