It had been a few months since Corrin's return, she was smiling as she walked around the camp; watching everyone laugh and get along with one another; all having a good time. She constantly had some come over and ask if the child was a girl or boy; she always responded with a boy seeing as it felt like she was pregnant with Kana again. Many wondered if the child would look more like her or more like Leo, she snapped at any who said that; stating the child would probably look like them both. She, herself though, wondered if he would be like Kana, having the ability to transform into a dragon; Leo and the Nohr royal family had the blood of the Dusk Dragons running through their vein's like the Hoshido royal family had the Dawn Dragon's blood running through their vein's.
'I am curious to know if he can transform like me.' Corrin thought as she neared her home...when she felt a sharp pain. 'W-what?' she thought before she felt her water break and gasp.
"O-oh no!" she cried out and felt another sharp pain. 'H-he's early!' she panicked and shouted for Keiana and Kamui. "Keiana! Kamui!" she cried out and everyone whipped their head her way.
Two loud roar's rang before Keiana and Kamui landed beside her, reverting to their human form. "What's wrong?!" Keiana asked and Corrin grimaced as she felt another sharp pain, hands wrapped around her stomach.
"Uh..." Kamui was dumbfounded, eyes wide a slight blush as he realized what she meant. "I'll go grab Sakura!" he shouted and ran off, calling for Sakura. "Sakura! It's time!" he shouted, and everyone in the camp heard, immediately going into overdrive.
Keiana helped Corrin to her home where, knowing they had to be quick and careful, the child was way too early. As they got their, they saw Kamui flying their way and let Sakura off in which she ran inside with Orochi, Azura, and her daughter Mitami. Everyone else waited outside the Private Quarter's, hoping they would get good news...this could be bad.
"We have to hurry, she's already giving contraction's!" Mitami shouted and Sakura nodded. "I am aware! Orochi get warm water, Azura try to ease her discomfort, Keiana grab some clean rags!" Sakura ordered and everyone went to do as asked.
Felicia and Jakob ran in, knowing they might be needed; Felicia looked determined not to make a mistake and Jakob looked ready for anything. "Anything we can do to help?" He asked and Sakura looked at them and nodded. "Yes, we're going to need all the help we can get." she stated and they nodded.
Everyone was tense, they heard the screams coming from Corrin as she gave birth; Kaze was tense again, more so than when Kana and Midori had been born. She was almost a whole month early with the boy; what if she didn't make it? What if the child died? What if they both died?! He tried to erase the thoughts from his mind, he couldn't think like that. Suddenly they heard singing...Azura was singing? Why? That spelled bad news as they realized Azura had to use her voice to help when suddenly, Shigure began to sing as well.
"You are the ocean's grey waves,
Destined to seek like beyond the shore,
just out of reach"
Their voice synced perfectly as it seemed everyone grew calmer and felt more at ease and they heard the screams stop...yet they knew the pain wasn't dulled. She probably whimpered and groaned, but it wasn't overwhelming anymore. As the hours passed in which Shigure had to stop as his throat was raw they soon heard it, the cry of a baby. Everyone looked at one another as happiness flooded their hearts and they cheered and high-fived one another, some of them congratulated Kaze or patted his back, saying 'good job' yet he couldn't believe it as a smile broke his face. He was a father of three now...three! He was use to being a father, but joy still flooded his heart as he knew he had another child. He would treat the child as his own, it was his child; he would raise him, not Leo.
"It's a boy!" they heard Keiana shout in excitement and they all laughed, they had a feeling about the gender.
Keiana, Orochi and Mitami came out smiling brighter than the sun, their hands and arms were wet, probably from washing them after helping deliver the child. "Who wants to see the baby boy?" Keiana called out and everyone nodded and she chuckled. "Alright, in a few minutes we'll let you all see him, but just know he's fragile, no one's allowed to really hold him. He was born early so he's quiet small, so proceed with caution." Orochi stated and everyone nodded in agreement.
As promised a few minutes later everyone was allowed to see him; Kamui, Ryoma, Takumi, Hinoka, Kaze, Midori and Kana let everyone go first; they would see the child last so they could see how Corrin was doing. As it got closer to night everyone was leaving as the rest went in to see the child. As they walked in, they saw Corrin holding the little bundle in her arms, smiling softly at the child; sweat covered her a little still and she smiled at them as they entered. Her exhaustion was clear but her smile was radiant as she felt happier than she had been since the incident.
"Want to see Misagi?" she asked and they all chuckled, nodding. She giggled as well as they crowded around her, seeing the small boy in her arms.
He had light brown hair, peach/tan skin like his mouth, his ears were slightly pointed like Corrin's and Kana's and he was quiet small. They all cooed over him, saying how peaceful or cute he looked, he seemed to have more traits of his mother. Suddenly, he opened his eye's, revealing ruby red and they agreed that he looked more like his mother. They parted to allow Kaze, Kana and Midori to get a proper look at him; Kana and Midori both smile at the little boy while Kaze smiled at Corrin, before looking at the boy.
"He looks like you." he commented, rubbing the small boys head. "He does, doesn't he?" Corrin responded with a giggle, though it was more a statement.
"We have a little brother now!" Kana cried in excitement and Midori agreed. "Yeah, we do!" she exclaimed when the baby gave a whimper and everyone went silent. "You two have to keep your voices down." Corrin gently reminded them and they looked at her. "He's sensitive to noises, so he's going to need as much sleep as possible." she explained and they nodded, looking at the baby boy.
Despite wanting to keep the boy with her, she took him to the Deeprealm's like she had Kana and Midori, knowing he'd be safer there. She visited everyday as much as she could, knowing she needed to be by his side, knowing the boy should have their mother in their life. He grew up faster than expected but it didn't bother her, he was still her little boy. As the weeks turned to month's, the fights got harder and things got difficult...they got word from the Deeprealm.
"Lady Corrin!" a voice called out, grabbing her attention. "You're from the Deeprealm, is everything okay?" she asked the messenger, whom shook his head. "No, enemies have invaded the Deeprealm where Misagi is, him and his guards are trying to hold them off but their overwhelmed by the sheer number!" he stated and Corrin felt her blood go cold. "What?!" she shouted, catching her armies attention. "How much longer do they have?" she demanded and after hearing his reply of only a few hours, she cursed; she had to get there quickly.
"Everyone, we're moving out!" she shouted and everyone nodded, rushing to grab their stuff. "What's going on?" Kaze asked Corrin as she ran to grab her sword. "Misagi's Deeprealm has been invaded, we have to get there now!" she stated and he nodded, grabbing his things.
They left for the Deeprealm once they saw everyone was ready and go there right as they heard a explosion. They saw dark magic getting shot and hitting the invader's, they were figure's of purple and black magic it seemed, yet they could we dealt with easily; until they noticed how many there were.
"We have to save Misagi!" Corrin shouted and everyone nodded as they ran in, looking for the brown haired boy.
"STAY BACK!" A young males voice shouted as a blast of black magic hit several enemies back, before others appeared. "*pant* *pant* You take down one and several more appear." he complained before shooting more magic as a guard protected his right and left.
He had been expecting to see his mother today...until these cretin's showed up and attacked; he only hoped the messenger he sent to his mother and father got there safely and gave word. Suddenly he felt an explosion behind him that sent him flying into a different room and he groaned as he tried to stand, hearing footsteps running toward him; he gasped looking up only to see an invader about to strike him down. He closed his eyes, expecting to feel the pain of the sword piercing him when suddenly he heard a shout and something slicing through flesh.
"Misagi!" a voice shouted and opening his eyes with a gasp, he saw his mother, her sword through the enemy's back as she smiled at him. "Mother!" he shouted in happiness; Corrin nodded as the enemy dissipated before she knelt to him.
"Are you okay?" she asked worried and he nodded, hugging her. "Yes, thank goodness you're here!" he cried out happily, continuing to hug her as tears formed.
"I'm sorry it took so long, I didn't think you'd ever be attacked." she replied as she slowly released him to stand up, pulling him up with her. "Stay back and let us deal with this." she ordered but he growled. "Mom, I'm not a kid anymore, I can fight!" he stated as his book opened, black magic leaking from it.
She sighed, eyes showing an unknown emotion as she looked at the book. He inherited his thirst of knowledge and liking of magic from his real father she had noted; though it didn't bother her as much as she had thought it would. Instead she supported him in using magic and doing his best to learn spell's, even telling him some she had heard.
"Alright," she relented, letting him fight. "you can fight but stay close to me, I don't want you to get hurt." she stated and he nodded, running up to be beside his mother, a smile on his face. "Understood!" he shouted and they ran back into the fray.
When the fight was over they all reunited with one another, looking around; the walls were crumbling down and bodies lay everywhere, blood covered the floors and walls...this was no place for a child to stay.
"This is no good." Corrin said as they approached the main room. "You can't stay here, not in this massacre." she commented when she felt him tug her cape. "Yes Misagi, what is it?" she asked, looking at her son, seeing him fidgeting. "C-can't I just stay with you?" he questioned, shocking her. "Pardon?" she asked, not sure she heard right.
"Can't I just stay with you?" he repeated, eyes sad. "I don't like being here all alone, yeah I have guards, servants and stuff of the sort" he explained as he sat on a destroyed bookcase. "but what I really want is to be with you, dad, and my brother and sister." he said as he looked his mother in the eye. "Please...just let me stay with you." he pleaded and she sighed, feeling her heart clench. Just like with Kana and Midori, she couldn't leave them behind in the Deeprealm's while she knew their realm was no longer safe. What if they got word that he was attacked again and they were too late? What if he was killed when they were attacked again? She sighed, knowing what it was she had to do.
"Alright then," she sighed, catching his attention. "you can come along." she said and his eyes widened as he smiled. "Really?" he asked and she nodded. "Yes, but understand this" she started serious, eyes hard. "outside this realm it's nothing but bloodshed and war; people die and if you get hurt I don't know what I'd do. Understand that you not only have to look out for yourself, but look after those around you." she stated, before her gaze softened. "Do you understand Misagi?" she questioned him and he nodded with a face of determination and strong will. "I understand mother." he stated firmly and she smiled.
"That's my boy." she responded as she hugged him and he returned the gesture, before they left the Deeprealm.
Okay, I know this is a short chapter, I am aware but there's a reason for that. The next chapter is going to be pretty long and there's a lot of stuff that will happen in that chapter, so please understand. ^^; I am trying to show what Misagi has pretty much obtained from his father, whom is Leo, yet he believe's Kaze is his father. *Sigh* Poor boy, he's gonna get the shock of his life in the next chapter. I had originally planned on this being the last chapter, but it just didn't seem right to end it on such a note, so I decided to add another chapter. Hope ya'll enjoy it. ^^
