I've been getting good suggestions from you guys about the path you want to see for this story to follow.

-Chapter 5-

Emotions under the Moon

Evak walked hesitantly with not-so happy facial expression in the world. He stomped through the hallway as maids and soldiers stopped and saw his rage, so they stepped away to the sides in order for him to pass and not talking to him.

He came to a halt, standing in front of the huge door, the door to the throne room. He pushed the door wide opened as his eyes burned with flames of anger.

"FAAAATHHEERRR!" he yelled loudly as his voice echoed through the throne room.

King Garon was sitting on his throne room while he conversed with his advisors, Lady Tzila and Iago. He stomped forward to him.

"Father! Why!? Why wouldn't we look for Corrin!?" he exclaimed.

"You! Who do you think you're talking to with a mouth like that!?" King Garon outburst.

"Answer me!" he exclaimed, with his tone higher than his father's.

The king calmly relaxed and spoke with calm, yet serious expression "Evak, my son, you have heard the terrible, unfortunate news from whoever told you the news. He fell into the Bottomless Canyon. Hans reported all about, including Gunther who also fell into the canyon, and the maid disappeared. No one in the world can survive a fall into that wrenched canyon. There is no way even your own brother can survive. It shows to prove that he was….weak."

"Weak!?" he lashed out forward, like he's going to punch him, but two soldiers came and stopped him as they held him back.

"Yes, my son, he was weak. A fool. And a failure. On the other hand, you are strong. Not a fool. And successful. A true heir with the right qualities to me….as long as you keeps that temper of yours in check." He strongly argued.

"I don't care about that! Don't you even care about your son!? True, nobody can survive if they fell into the Bottomless Canyon, but I don't believe he can die even if he fell into that canyon! We should go and search for him! He could still be alive!" he demanded.

"No!" he shouted, making Evak cringed. "Insolent son! Do you even know why that canyon is known as 'Bottomless Canyon'? There is no bottom at all! Your brother has fallen into an eternal darkness where he will never rise out of from! He is dead! Accept reality, Evak. There is no way he could survive, no matter how strong you think he is."

Evak gritted his teeth angrily. He stormed away from him, leaving out of the throne room completely as he was very upset and frustrated.

King Garon sighed as he rubbed his tempos. Iago sweated, but wiped the sweats with handkerchief as Lady Tzila smirked slightly to herself.

-Fire Emblem Fates Destiny-

To stress his anger out, Evak trained alone at the training grounds. He swung his two swords strongly, yet harshly. He cut each dummy's head off as quickly and strongly he can.

"Yah! Hah! Yaaahhh!" he exclaimed as he cut each dummy's head.

As time goes by, he slowly swung his sword sloppily until he couldn't swing his sword no more.

"Ha…ha…" he panted.

"Evak." He looked over his shoulder, noticing Elise with worried expression. She also still looked sad.

"What do you want?" he asked calmly, yet annoyed. Although, he sounded like he really didn't want to see anyone.

"I…I see you are training. Really hard." She thought aloud as she looked over all the destroyed dummies.

"Yeah. I just finished." He answered as he breathed in and out.

"I….I heard from Father that you gotten into an argument with him," she said. He shot a look at her, which she cringed a bit. He sighed out loudly.

"I don't want to talk about it." He shrugged.

There was a moment of silence between them until she spoke again. "Listen, Evak. I understand your feelings, but…as much as I want to believe that big brother, Corrin is still alive, there is no way he could've survived the fall."

"I don't care! There is no way to prove that!" he outburst.

"Evak! He fell into the Bottomless Canyon! There is no way anyone, not even him to survive the fall!" she exclaimed as she puffed her cheek.

"Well, I don't want to believe that! He is still alive, somewhere! And I'll find him!" he argued before he ran away.

"Evak! Wait!" she yelled at him, but it was too late for her. She became very sad. "Evak…." She sighed sadly.

-Fire Emblem Fates Destiny-

Evak was outside the castle. He was at the town's park. There was a stargazing peak where people could go visit and watch the stars if the night sky was clear. Fortunately, it was. He could see the stars, including the full moon. He knew some of the constellations.

"Brother….Corrin…" he whispered.

He then heard footsteps, coming near him. He turned around to see his older sister.

"Camilla." He stated.

"Hello, dear. May I join with you?" she asked with her usual grin.

"Do whatever you want." He replied coldly. She walked over to stand next to him as they watched the stars together.

After an hour of stargazing, Evak decided to say something. "OK, seriously, what do you want?" he asked.

"Nothing. I just want to watch the stars with my dearest baby brother," she said.

"Hmph! Well, if you are gonna mention about my argument with father, don't ask!" he ordered.

"Don't worry, dear. I won't. But, I do want to say one thing," she said.

"Yeah? What is it?" he asked, with a moody look.

"I think what you said to father was absolutely right," she said.

"Grggh! I told you to not mention….wait…what?" he looked confused.

"I said, I think what you said to Father was absolutely right. We should look for our brother to see if he indeed survived the fall." She explained.

"I know right! But, Elise thinks he didn't because it is called 'Bottomless Canyon'! Well, I don't care if it is bottomless! In fact, I rather go down there and find Corrin! I can feel he is alive….just…somewhere!" he stated as he punched on some random tree.

"Evak…it is OK," she said.

"OK for what!? That my brother may be dead, Gunter is also gone, and Felicia is who know where? Is that all OK to you!?" he argued angrily.

"No." she replied with a grin. "But, it is OK for you to cry."

"What? I don't cry." He shrugged as he crossed his arms. Camilla looked at his back as he was looking the other way with his arms crossed. She slowly covered her arms over him as she gently hugged him.

"It's OK, Evak. No one will see you crying." She whispered into his ear. However, he was already crying. Tears fell from his eyes, like waterfalls. The sadness he held deep in his heart finally released like if a dam was opened, allowing the river to stream down.

Suddenly, he turned over and cried into her shoulder. She hugged him a bit tighter as she comforted him more.

"There, there, my sweet baby brother. I understand that you didn't want anyone to worry about you, even from your siblings. You want to show everyone you are strong, but truth is…you are as emotional as everyone else. You can cry with me as much as you want, my little brother, Evak."

Evak sniffled and shed more tear as he hugged her tighter; enough that his chest was now too close to her. She rubbed his back to make him to feel better. This predicament reminded her the distant past, which she felt like it was just yesterday…

-Flashback-

Young Evak, who was a child during this time, was stargazing one night. Camilla, who was young and of course, attractive even then, approached to meet young child Evak.

"Evak. What are you doing here all alone?" she asked.

"Big sister…" he turned over to her and ran over to her as he hugged her, and then cried. "What will happen to Corrin? Will he be alive!?"

She didn't understand at first, but realized what he meant. "Oh Evak, he will be just fine. He only has a fever."

"But, what if he couldn't stand up again!? What if he couldn't eat again!? What if he couldn't play with me anymore and I become alone!?"

Camilla giggled. "Don't worry. He'll be just fine. I know he will. You just have to believe in him, that's all. You have to believe in him that he'll get better. I know you're strong, Evak, but it is OK to cry about this because it showed how much you care and love your brother. If you don't want anyone to see you crying, you can always cry with me, and it will be our little secret. OK?"

"OK. Thank you, Camilla." He decided as he hugged her more, and she hugged him too.

-Flashback Ends-

"Sweet memory." She thought as she hugged her young brother, giving him as much love as possible.

Later that night, they returned to the castle, and went to bed…in their individual room, of course. Evak slept comfortably as he was having a dream, but this was not an ordinary dream.

He saw his brother, Corrin standing alongside with unfamiliar people. There was a man with long, spiky brown hair in red armor. He looked around Xander's age. There were also other people; red-haired woman with light armor, a young man with gray-haired tied in a pony-tail and this man held a bow, and young girl with dark pink hair or red hair. He couldn't tell the color. Then, lastly there was one more other person, and to him, she looked very beautiful.

She was at the same height as he and Corrin. He had long blue hair, and wore white dress. She also wore a pendent with a blue stone crested in the pendent. Her eyes were shiny green color and her complexion was white and smooth, making her look clear and just pretty. He couldn't help it, but blushed.

He widely opened his eyes. "Brother!" He got up quickly. He noticed that it was not dawn yet, and the full moon was still out. He looked straight at it, and made his decision. He changed from his P.J. to his outfits and armor. He got his sword ready, and quickly, but quietly exited out of his bedroom.

He went to see his horse, put the saddle on it, and then rode on it as he commanded it to move. He rode away, heading to who know where without notifying anyone. From the castle tower, Lady Tzila watched him as he goes away.

"It seems that our plan is in motion." She stated before she slyly smirked.

Hi, guys! Man, this story is progressing well. I made sure my grammar is correct in this one, but if it isn't, then please let me know where exactly I have it wrong in the review. That would be very helpful for me, and also for you guys, the readers because I want you guys to enjoy reading my story as I improve in writing.

Anyway, two days ago was my birthday as I became 23 years old. I am graduating in less than a month (in May). I also had been playing Fates. I am up to Chapter 14, and I own Birthright, but I downloaded the Conquest path, so that after I beat Birthright, I can play Conquest.

The poll is going great, too, but remember to place in your vote to see which path this story will go; Birthright, Conquest, or Revelation. I am getting quite interesting votes so far, and I will keep it be opened by the end of April, so please put in your votes beforehand. I may close it when we get to the chapter where the decision will be made, if you know what I am talking about if you played the game.

That is all for tonight, so I hope to see you all again soon. Next in Fire Emblem Fates Destiny, will Evak find his brother, Corrin? What is the mystery behind the dreams? Who were the people in the dreams? Next time, Evak will have an adventure as he heads to Hoshido!
