Sorry I haven't posted for awhile, I had been busy, but now I am back on ths keyboard (the digital one that is). Also, slightly off topic, but I also remembered that google auto corrected Xander to "Cancer" when i was typing the first chapter (wonder what they are trying to say). Just some trivia for you. Anyway, onward.

Chapter 4

Second Chance

Corrin was originally shocked and horrified that his younger brother Leo killed the two prisoners so mercilessly. Why did he just do that to them? But Corrin calmed down when Leo revealed something to him: the Hoshidans were just unconscious. The spell he used was very weak, so they didn't die from it. Corrin was relieved that they were ok, but Xander warned him that his kindness will get him killed one day. At least I will die knowing that I did right. Corrin thought.

The royal children were quick to get the living hoshidan prisoners out of the Castle before anyone noticed their "corpses" were missing. Once they were outside, the ninja proceeded to thank them before vanishing, but the oni seemed to have something to say to the young pale-haired prince. "Why on earth would you even help us?" she asked a bit gruffly.

"It was the right thing to do wasn't?" Corrin asked, unaware of how naive he sounded.

The oni rolled her eyes. "I have heard Nohr had a sheltered prince here, now I see those rumors are true. I hope you learn more the next time we meet." With that she ran off after her ninja ally.

I hope we could be friends next time we meet. Corrin thought.

The oni, ran off to find where her ally went. Being a ninja, he probally was pretty far by now. I wonder what made him think it was a good idea to leave me behind like this. As soon as the thought crossed her mind, the ninja appeared right behind her, almost frightening her.

"Kaze! Please don't do that!" she complained

"Sorry Rinkah," Kaze apologized.

Rinkah paused for a moment, then remembered something that she was meaning to tell Kaze. "Kaze, I think I know something about the Nohrian prince.

Kaze looked at Rinkah with an expression of interest.

"Well the thing is," she said "He's not Nohrian."

Corrin and Elise stood in front of the door to the nohrian throne room. Garon was probally still furious with Corrin after what happened a few hour ago, but hopefully he's calmed down a bit by now.

"I know I may have technically failed the trial, but mabye he'll let me pass anyway." Corrin said to Elise.

"I can help you as well," Elise said. "Daddy always listens to me, so I am sure he'll change his mind."

Corrin nodded. With a slight gulp in his throat, he knocked several times on the large doors to the throne room.

"What!" Garon called out from behind the doors.

"Its Corrin," said the prince. There was a long pause, making Corrin feel a bit nervous. Then he finally spoke.

"Enter," Garon finally responded.

Corrin pushed the doors open to enter the throne. At the other ideas of the room sat King Garon, staring at Corrin quite coldly.

"What are you here for?" Garon asked.

Corrin spoke up. "Well, I wanted to say, uh, sorry about what happened earlier. But, I was….well…. hoping that maybe…..you could excuse it?"

Garon furrowed his eyes, as if he was angered that Corrin dared to ask him such a question.

"Father please!" Elise pleaded. "We all want Corrin to leave the castle with us. I can't bare it if I could never see Corrin again."

Garon closed his eyes, deep in thought. There was quite a long moment of complete silence, and Corrin was getting more nervous each minute. After what seemed like an eternity, Garon finally spoke.

"What you did is considered treason in the eyes of the law…and therefore, the penalty for it is death."

Corrin and Elise had shocked expressions on their faces. Corrin could not believe it, his father actually wanted to kill him. How could he? But Garon was not finished.

"However, because I know how badly you want to see the outside world, I will allow you to live."

Corrin lifted up his head. Was this really happening? He was getting a second chance?

"Thank you father! Thank you!" Elise said cheerfully.

"Thank you father," Corrin repeated, more calmly.

"But," Garon continued.

Corrin and Elise flinched and gave their father their attention. "First, I have a special task I want you to fulfill. I have heard word that there are Hoshidans who are not minding their place at the Infinite Chasm. I want you to head over there and teach them where it is. But this time, I don't care how you do it as long as its done. But do not do anything foolish again.

Corrin nodded in acknowledgement. He was going to make sure he makes no mistakes this time.

Sorry for another short chapter, but i had not posted in a loooong time, and i wanted to update this. So this one's probally a bit boring, but I'll try to make up for it in the next chapter.
