Hirovan(Guest): OC might have shippings with some main characters. I'm not going to state who with who. And thanks... I love to describe fighting scenes
Levin(Guest): My Path of Radiance fanfic will continue.
Gunlord500: Not a preview anymore.
Guest(This fight scene looks pretty familiar. Still good): Thank you! I got more fighting scenes prepared.
Since America is going to change the names, I'm going to go by the American version. Again, this fanfic contains some spoilers because it will go with the story, but the words will be different. Some scene will be different.
Xander = Marx in if
Leo = Leon in if
Azura = Aqua in if
Jacob = Joker in if
Effie = Elfie in if
Arthur = Harold in if
Silas = Cyrus in if
Kaze = Suzukaze in if
I saw the how the first chapter turned out and I'm now going to forget what going on in the game and make this fanfic like one. Sadly, the last chapter, you meeting Azura isn't how it starts I afraid. I heard it said that it starts with you fighting Marx/Xander and you beat him.
I forgot to tell you about the young master... Yeah, not going to state his name yet. It's a surprise.
Which nation will Corrin join? I don't know? I guess I haven't made up my mind :) Sike, I just not going to tell you.
The American trailer gives me some ideas on how to do this story.
Chapter 2: Is it Worth It?
Hoshido Capital
The Daein army led by Lucius were welcome into the capital by Mikoto, the Queen of the Hoshido, and Ryoma who kindly give them a place to rest their horses, griffons, and their tiring rough feet that they used for running nonstop. A lot of the Hoshidans didn't like having the Daein army in their city because of lack of foreign relations between them and there is a lot of mistrust between them.
The Hoshidans feel that Lucius is plotting to take over the capital. Sure, Hoshido has small numbers for active personals but there are a lot of reserves around the country that willing to fight to defend and are not willing to give up without a fight in their own territory. They thought the Daein army as Nohrian spies or the Nohrian army that try to destroy the Hoshido culture from the inside.
In the bedroom where the young master was lying, treated with medicine to heal his current condition, not his blindness, but a sickness he received during running away from his brother. He was suffering from severe dehydration. His skin was dry and rough as the desert, his river of blood turned into a drying lake, and his head felt hot as the molten lava.
The master like was mention before is a child. A child who wore black robes of royalty made out of silk, his hair is dark green and his forehead bears a brand that is like a red cross resemble him as a blood of a dragon. His eyes were red as blood.
The boy was treated with ice on his head, cool water along with fresh fruit and medicine, and they care his skin with oil. Surrounding the boy was the Royals of Hoshido, Falko, and the commanders of Daein including Lucius.
As they were treating the boy, Lucius watch with hope before his young master awoke and spoke with a frightening tone like he awoke from a nightmare and reach up in a free air, "Lucius! Lucius!"
Lucius tend to his young master and grab his hand firmly, "Here... Here. I'm here."
The young master was pleased to hear that Lucius is alive and well as he sigh in relief.
"Did you win the battle... against the Hoshidan warrior?" the master ask.
Lucius sigh and look at his men who wouldn't dare to answer for the sake of honor and how it might cause tension. Sure, Lucius won with the most damage deliver in the duel but the duel had no victor so Lucius or any of his captains can't say that 'Lucius' won.
The Hoshidans also didn't want to say 'Ryoma' won because it isn't true but after 5 seconds of silence, Ryoma answer the blind master, "He won."
Lucius, Falko, and captains of Daein look at Ryoma with surprise expressions. The blind master grins and speaks with excitement, "Yes, I knew you'd win because you said the Hoshidan captain is terrible and he even looks stupid."
Ryoma raises an eyebrow after hearing this, Hinoka covers her mouth to hide her smile and stifle a laugh that was threatening to escape, Takumi show no reaction, and Sakura was giggling.
The Hoshido and Nohr border
"If you were born in Hoshido, how did you land up in Nohr, Corrin?" Azura ask.
Corrin places his hand on his chin and tries to remember.
Flashback
"Father!" an 8-year-old Corrin shouted as Sumeragi, Corrin's father, drew his lightning-like katana and protect Corrin. He slashes across Nohrian soldiers that came to charge at them.
Corrin wish he could help, but he felt helpless as they kept coming and coming. Why were they in the Nohrian capital? It's because Garon asks for Sumeragi and Corrin to have a talk, but Garon betrays them.
Corrin shed tears as he continues to watch his father fighting off continuously. He was frightened as he stays close to his father. The Nohrian mission was to capture Corrin and kill Sumeragi.
"Corrin, stay close!" Sumeragi shouted and the Nohrian soldiers stop their assault and Garon appear in front of them.
"Garon, you treacherous wretch. How can you trap us like this? In a diplomatic matter?" Sumeragi shouted and Garon didn't answer.
Sumeragi ran at Garon and went to strike, but an arrow was shot and hit Sumeragi on the chest. Sumeragi groan in pain and then a volley of arrows begin to fire at Sumeragi, putting the Hoshido king down on his knees.
"Ahhh!" Corrin was shot on the shoulder and fell back on the ground.
Sumeragi look back, "Corrin!"
Corrin was crying softly on the ground, putting his arm on his injured shoulder and watch Garon walk at Sumeragi who try to get on his feet but couldn't. Garon grabs his ax that was hiding under his cape and finishes Sumeragi with one motion.
Sumeragi fell to the ground and Corrin eyes widen as he shouts in sadness, "Dad!"
Garon walks towards Corrin and grins down at him. Corrin watches in horror and Garon pull his hand out to kidnap Corrin with a concluding statement, "You are my child now."
Back to the present
"I really don't remember," Corrin said sadly, well, it's true. He doesn't remember anything about the ambush or his Hoshido kin. How does he know that he was born in Hoshido?
Well, it's because Xander told him the truth of being born in Hoshido but he never told him who he really was. All Xander told him was that he was saved from the Hoshidan king. He believes that he was an orphan. He doesn't have the knowledge of him being the prize Prince of Hoshido.
Azura looks at him and sigh as Corrin begin to speak about what happen recently.
3 days ago, Nohr Capital
"Listen well. It is only my brother's kind heart that has bought your freedom. Disappear now, lest you be spotted by our king," Xander stated with Rinkah the daughter of the Fire Clan chieftain and Suzukaze the ninja.
Suzukaze nodded and ran off while Rinkah stayed. She was eyeing on Corrin with suspicion and spoke with her finger pointing at Corrin, "Look, I ain't a hostage to be freed. You said your name is 'Corrin'?"
Corrin nodded and Rinkah continue to speak, "When we meet, I will make you pay for this humiliation!"
"I was hoping the next time we meet, it could be as friends," Corrin replies in a calm tone.
Rinkah's face turn red and speak with anger, "Softhearted fool! I am a Hoshidan warrior. You do not understand what you suggest."
Corrin folds his arms and spoke sternly, "I understand that right now Hoshido and Nohr are at war. But I'm trying to plan ahead for the day the war is over and we can live in peace."
"Hmph. I've heard rumors of a sheltered Nohrian prince who knows nothing of the world. I see those rumors are true. If we do meet again, the world will have no doubt taught you the error of your ways." With that, Rinkah ran off.
Present
After that meeting, Corrin prepared to leave Nohr to prove himself and explore the world. He was given the sword called Ganglari, a sword that is infused with magic from another world before the fight.
During his journey, he was accompanied by Felicia the maid, Jacob the butler, Guntler the old Nohrian General, and Silas. Silas was the best friend to Corrin who had been playing with Corrin for a while since a very young age. Silas try to play last time but was forbidden due to being a distraction which has been at least 8 years ago. Together with his group, he has been facing monsters called 'Nosferatus' and manage to defeat them along with some groups of Hoshidan soldiers.
"Is that all you remember?" Azura ask.
"I guess, I'm not sure. I was told that I was an orphan born in Hoshido but was saved by Nohrian soldiers." Corrin replies.
Azura sighs and felt sorry for Corrin who had forgotten his memory. She remembers how she was captured by Hoshido and was treated like she was an actual citizen of their country. When she beg to go back to Nohr, they try to exchange her for their prized prince.
She never knows who the priced prince was, but she hope to know soon. She begins to think of Corrin as she realized that there is a chance that he is the prized prince of Hoshido but she's not too sure.
"An orphan... That's sad..." Azura stated as she begins to take an interest in Corrin. Her heart begins to start beating and she wish she could sing for him again but it might not end well as it will be awkward and strange if she does so out of nowhere. Azura wish that he would be in Hoshido with her.
Corrin also took interest in Azura as well, but he can't give her any hints of it. He wishes that she would be in Nohr for them to talk and to get to know each other.
"Lord Corrin!" Felicia shout, interrupting the two.
Corrin stood up and look while Azura turned to see a pink-haired maid spotted them.
"Felicia, what's going on?" Corrin ask.
"We're under attack!" Felicia said.
Corrin frowned and drew his Ganglari then look at Azura who stood up and got her golden lance.
"You could fight?" Corrin asks, worrying of Azura would get hurt later.
Azura nodded with a thought with a slight red on her cheeks, 'Can't watch you get hurt or killed.'
Hoshido Capital, later in the night
Lucius appear in the night in the town center with nobody around and look up at the statue of the divine dragon. Lucius remember learning about the two divine dragons that were said to have the power to rival with the Black Dragon royalties.
Unlike Tiberius or his master who has Black Dragon blood has the advantage in power, strength, intelligence, and strategic and tactical mind over everyone at a young age while Lucius was built in speed, coordination, and strength due to his hawk brand.
Lucius don't know why, but the two weeks has continuing to haunt him. He face the divine dragon statue and close his eyes. As he close his eyes, a voice was spoken out of nowhere, "Do you have any uncertainty in your mind, great-grandson of Zelgius?"
Lucius' eyes open wide as he heard someone has spoke of Zelgius, the marshal of the Daein army who had left to war with Ike, Soren, the Queen, and other generals of Daein. They left Daein and leave Lucius to help maintain public order, but that was ruin when Tiberius ambition.
Lucius turn and see a man cover in a full hood and his face is hard to see through the dark. Lucius could feel a much more powerful aura in the hooded man, more powerful than all of the descendant of Dheginsea. Lucius got a piece of his hair but fail to identify the actual color. The hair is long but who could it be?
"Who are you?"
"Who I am is not important nor is it important to know who you are? Poor child." The hooded man replied.
"Poor child? How is it not important to know who I'm speaking to even if it's a hooded man who knew who I am?" Lucius drew his vague katti and point at the hooded man.
The hooded man gently pushes the blade aside and answer, "What is important is to know what's going on. Not to know the name of a person who is here to sent messages to this person."
"I don't know if I could trust you, stranger. Your power is unique yet terrifying but gentle in personality. And I thought Dragon King Rajaion aura was the most terrifying in the world but now I felt an aura much more powerful, even a lot more powerful than the King of Daein." Lucius replied.
"You thought you knew but yet, you never knew who was the most powerful. It's because Tellius has achieved peace among the nations that the most powerful magic user must keep hidden from anyone willing to seek his counsel for he is wise and fair. He came to this continent not too long ago and predict the future that is about to come." The hooded man spoke.
"Is there anything that I need to know?" Lucius ask.
The hooded man answer, "The Scourge of the Goddess is coming. Reborn to be much more furious than the previous who held that title."
Lucius' eyes widen and he remembers studies of the previous owners of that title were fierce adversaries as the first one who claim that title was none other than The Mad King Ashnard of Daein who was close to conquered all of Tellius but was killed by Ike, his great-great uncle. The other one was Nico, the Prince of Daein and son of Soren, who had conquered Valm and almost annihilated the combined army of Ylisse, Ferox, and the remaining Valm troops led by Chrom but it was stopped when Soren led the Daein army to stop the fighting. And now, the obvious person who has now obtained that title is none other than the ambitious and treacherous Tiberius who was the grandson of Nico.
"Tiberius... How is it possible? He shouldn't know that I was here. I was sure that nobody knows where this place is. Not even that I knew what this place is except the dragon statue." Lucius doesn't believe the man and wishes that the man was sent away.
"You don't believe me is because of what you know not. Will you believe me that in this continent lies two kingdoms at war? There are at least 16,000 Daein warriors, two whole legion from Praven and Nevassa respectfully with a help of the Kuei Ryu ninja clan, west from here. Hidden from danger until a natural leader could lead them to fight." The man spoke, resulting Lucius to lower his sword.
"Two countries at war? Explain this to me." Lucius demands to know so that he could either prepare to leave or help fight off the other kingdom, depending if they share the same honor as their respected hosts.
The hooded man explains, "You're in the peace-loving Hoshido who wishes for peace, the other kingdom, Nohr, is a glory seeking militaristic nation that intended to invade the country of peace. 10 years ago, a prize prince of the Hoshido has the potential to be a powerful warrior. Garon, the King of Nohr, begins to fear the prince potential power, call for an audience with the King of the Hoshido and killed him before he kidnap the prince. Hoshido reacts by kidnapping the princess of Nohr and try to have a hostage exchange. Garon refused the hostage exchange because he fears that if Corrin is returned to the Hoshido hand then his plan of conquering Hoshido will fail and his country will surely suffer. Hoshido treats the princess with respect and honor while Nohr treat the prince well but secretly, they are using him for power."
"A country kidnapping a prince of Hoshido for power. Hoshido then kidnaps the princess of that country just to arrange a hostage exchange to get their prince back. But, as long as they have hostages, peace will continue, that is the law of warfare. If one attack, the hostage will be killed." Lucius stated and sheathe his sword.
The hooded man was about to say something, but someone was coming. Lucius turned to see Ryoma walking towards him with two small bowls and a small bottle of sake. Lucius turn back to the man who disappeared before Ryoma appears walking towards him.
"You drink?" Ryoma ask.
"Of course," Lucius reply before Ryoma toss him the bowl and both sat down in front of the statue as Lucius continue, "You ever met a soldier who doesn't drink?"
Lucius put his bowl forward for Ryoma to pour a bowl of sake in. Ryoma then pour a bowl for himself and Lucius begin to drink in a quick motion. Ryoma gives the first warning of drinking the sake he brought with him, "It's strong."
Right when Ryoma gave the first warning, Lucius was already done his first bowl. Lucius shallow some air and exhaled as he put his bowl forward to get his second drink, "Yes, it's lovely."
After his bowl was filled, Lucius drink the bowl quickly again to clear his mind which results in Ryoma to express his surprise that Lucius could manage to drink a strong alcohol quickly without feeling a little dizzy.
"What are you planning to do here? Where will you go tomorrow or are you staying here?" Ryoma asks out of curiosity and to find out the reason of the Daein army arrival.
"Those were the questions I've been thinking about constantly." Lucius sigh as he continues, "In Daein, we are trained to fight and obey to serve since we were very young. When you get the opportunity to choose your own path, you realize there's nowhere to go."
Ryoma took that answer and nodded in response as Lucius ask him, "Do Hoshido soldiers feel the same way?"
Ryoma reply, "No, we're different."
"Why?"
"You're trained to kill people. We're trained to save people. We bring peace to this country." Ryoma answered.
Lucius doesn't agree much as he shook his head, "Peace is a dream. We live in a world that treats the dead better than the living."
Lucius lean towards Ryoma and grab his katana. As he was about to draw it out of its sheathe, Ryoma stopped him by holding tightly on the sheathe. Lucius look at Ryoma and explain, "I just want to look at it. I've never seen how this katana was crafted nor how it gets its power."
Ryoma pulls the sheathe off and Lucius begin to examine the katana. He could see lightning begin to spark from the blade and the katana seems pretty finely crafted compare to the katanas he saw before.
"It's light and yet, pretty durable." Ryoma nodded and Lucius open his mouth again, just to ask a question, "What's the Hoshidan word for revenge?"
"Fukushu," Ryoma answers.
Lucius look at the tip of Ryoma katana and repeat, "Fukushu."
"Why do you want Fukushu?" Ryoma ask.
Lucius exhale through his nose and point the katana at Ryoma with words spoken out of his mouth, "This is not your business."
"Anything happens here," Ryoma held the sheathe and push it over the katana as he continues, "is my business."
"Fukushu makes more hate. Today, we meet, become friends. I want to help you." Ryoma spoke.
Lucius looks at him and says, "If we leave here tomorrow, I may never see you again. You make a friend today, you lose one tomorrow."
Lucius throw the katana back to Ryoma who caught it. Lucius spoke again, "Is it worth it?"
Ryoma gets what Lucius said and was about to answer until he heard Hinoka shouting, "Brother!"
Hinoka lands her pegasus and said, "Scouts reported that Nohr has begins to mobilize their forces. We have no idea where Azura has gone, but we believe that she went to Nohr. Now, the King of Nohr could plan his invasion."
Ryoma sigh and Lucius could see that the hooded man he met with is correct. War will be coming soon after the Nohrians have finish mobilizing. Hinoka continues to speak, "We must mobilize our soldiers, but the training and arms we provide won't be enough to withstand Nohr manpower."
Ryoma and Hinoka then look at Lucius who grab the bottle and spoke, "I guess that you need my service?" Lucius then drink the bottle of sake for himself and Ryoma nodded, knowing that Lucius might have some ideas to train or arm the Hoshido army before Nohr begin to invade.
Corrin's camp
Every single person fought incredibly well. Silas show great promise for the Nohrian knights as he charges with his horse around to kill some Nosferatus. Guntler's veteran military service is knocking some rust off as he kills some himself. Felicia and Jacob become conservative as they stay close their allies and strike with their knives. Corrin shows great swordsmanship and Azura was not too bad with a lance.
Azura and Corrin were fighting alongside with each other, watching each other backs.
"Corrin, look out!" Corrin didn't pay attention because he stab down at the Nosferatus. Another Nosferatus ran down at Corrin and went to strike, but Azura got in a way but manage to receive damage on her arm, drawing the first blood.
Corrin's eyes widen and quickly stab the remaining and final enemy. He felt anger and guilt that he blame himself for letting Azura get hurt by not paying attention.
Azura ran back to the lake with Corrin running after her. The rest of the group look at their leader as they believe to be 'love at first sight'. Well, somewhat true, it's nothing more than a crush at least. Love? Hold on, not so fast.
As Corrin made to the lake, he spots the blood on her arm is purple. That was common among the Nohrian royal family that the blood is purple except for Corrin whose blood is blue.
Azura grab her arm and cried, "Don't look at me... please."
Corrin watches with pity and he begins to approach Azura who tries to shoo him away, but Corrin ignores it.
"Corrin, please. Don't worry about me."
Corrin didn't listen and grab her arm softly and examine the blood. Azura didn't resist, but she was scared. She felt weak around him. "Corrin..."
Corrin took out a piece of cloth and wrap around her wound, surprising Azura who knew that's why her father abandon her. She was too weak and useless to him and enjoys singing and dancing rather than fighting. She thought Corrin will do something similar, but it turns out different.
"Shh... Shh. It's ok. Don't be afraid." Corrin said and pull out herbs that he prepared from Nohr. He place it in Azura's mouth and encourage her to chew and swallow the herb. Azura did and she felt slightly better and Corrin pulled her in for a hug, making Azura blush and her heart pound harder than the battle drums.
"I'm glad that you're fine." Corrin stated before he pull away and offer, "Stay with us."
Azura smiled and accept.
Hoshido Capital, Next morning
In the Hoshido palace, Lucius and his captains have an audience with Mikoto and the royal family. It was about getting ready for an actual full-scale war with Nohr.
"We could help arm and train your men to fight off the Nohrian invaders. Back in my country, some of my men are skilled blacksmiths and we are effectively trained in a very young age. I think you will find our training useful and we could help build better defenses around the capital. You could find some of our equipment useful." Lucius give a lot of promises to the Hoshidans, but some including Takumi doesn't trust them.
"Nohr is quickly mobilizing. How can you possibly get us prepare in a quick matter of time?" Takumi ask in a suspicious and confusing manner.
Lucius look at the distrusting prince and answer, "You have plenty of iron, coal, and silver ores unmined outside the city. And you're rich in timber and oil. I still have memories of building our weapons with those. Since you use katanas, you will need at least shields which I had in mind."
Takumi doesn't look convinced and Mikoto jump in, "So, you're saying that you're giving us a weapon of destruction that may make us hypocritical like the Nohrians?" It was not an angry or a sad tone but with worry. She does not want Hoshido to be a country that will do terrible to a foreign country.
Lucius nodded then said, "If this is what you think. Then I will not give you any kind of weapon of destruction. Sure, the Nohrians might fear it but it's for the defense of your country."
"Mother, I suggest you not listen to them. It might be our undoing to trust them." Takumi spoke to Mikoto who raises her hand to silence her young son. She begins to think and read Lucius face who is all in seriousness and determination.
"We trust you," Mikoto said and Takumi sigh and disappointed along with his subordinates.
"Thank you. You must promise me in one thing in return," Lucius speak and the royals begin to listen closely as Lucius continues, "Find men to guide my two centurions to the land of Hyrule."

Felt I'm pushing the Corrin/KamuixAqua pairing too fast? Blame the creators, I found the purple blood scene on youtube. Tt just feels that they're pushing Corrin/KamuixAqua pairing every time we see any trailer, not even one think about the female avatar.
I was going to do the past of the Avatar or him with his Nohrian family but sadly, you meeting Azura is not how it starts :(. Sorry guys/girls!
This is like a World War soon which is why Azura said 'one of the greatest war'. More countries and nations will jump in.
Some of this stuff are spoilers... Cyrus/Silas doesn't join you until...
If you're interested in spoilers then go search 'fire emblem fates treehouse' on youtube and you will watch people playing some chapters in English.
Some of my friends ask me of why Hoshido and Daein share similar culture.
Well, if you read my Tellius story, they'll know that Daein is similar to the Roman Empire, Han China, Japan, and Germanic tribes due to their military prowess.
Again, I am following the American version so names are definitely changed. Sorry if there are some misunderstanding.
