Blessing/Curse
"Valla." Corin said aloud, "Anankos… Silent Dragon, King of Valla, rawr, I will destroy you all… Yup, still here, which I think we can take as proof that the curse is gone."
Azura sighed in relief.
"You have no idea how heavy a burden has been lifted from my shoulders." she said from the treehouse's bed, "For as long as I can remember, that curse has hung over my head. For it to finally be gone is... "
"It's a testament to your strength." Corrin replied as he sat down next to her, draping an arm over her shoulder, "I've only had to live with it for a year; I can't imagine the strength of will to keep such a secret for all my life."
"I'm just so glad it's over; not just the curse, but everything." Azura said, "My mission, my situation, everything. Somedays I thought I would break under all the pressure."
"What kept you going?"
"My mother," she answered, "Then our Hoshidan siblings, and then you. The thought of you all gave me the strength to carry on."
"You can always count on me Azura." Corrin stated, cupping her chin and pressing his lips to her forehead, "Now and always."
Azura stroked his cheek, staring at him with her golden eyes, smiling.
"How did I get so lucky?" she asked him, "To have such a wonderful young man come into my life?"
"I always considered myself to lucky one, to fall in love with a woman like you."
"Corrin… I know I'm not always the most open with my affections, but I want you to know that I adore you, and that I am so grateful to you, in spite of everything; all my secrets, all my shortcomings…"
"Hey; your secrets are your own, and if we're talking shortcomings, then I'm in no position to judge, but it doesn't matter. Azura… I love you."
"I love you too." she replied with a smile, glad that at last the curse was over.
