Chapter seven: Confused story

Italics= character thoughts

The group of six looked at Ryoma, silent. Anna looked between them and Ryoma before turning to the group.

"Okay, so we may be in the wrong world." Anna said hesitantly.

Everyone remained silent.

"Can I finish...my explanation?" Blake asked.

"Please do." Ryoma whispered.

"After Garon was slain...I got brought to another world...and after that world...was saved, I ended...up in Anna's world…"

"Then we travelled around for two years, Blake was dragged into a war, she lost an arm, evil dragon was sealed." Anna continued.

"Then 5 years passed...and a Corrin from another...world showed up and...we tried to send him...back to save his world."

"Then something weird happened, we were sucked into the gate, fell out of the sky and wrecked your roof." Anna finished.

"By the gods…" Ryoma shook his head "That can't be true."

"If we find my dear little brother and show there's two Corrins, that'll prove it." Camilla chuckled.

"I mean, from our view point, you should be dead Ryoma." Laslow said with a shrug.

"And Flora should be a pile of ashes!" Ryoma yelled.

"What?" Flora looked confused.

"You self-immolated yourself...in this world." Blake stated coldly.

"I did WHAT!"

"I believe it means you incinerated yourself sacrificially." Odin explained.

"I know what it means you idiot!"

As everyone began to argue, two people walked towards the throne room.

"I really like your outfit." Soleil said.

"Thank you! I may not be a good maid, but I try my best." a pink haired maid said.

"He he, so, how far to the throne room?"

"Umm, it should be nearby, I'm not good at directions."

The two then hear arguing.

"I guess that's coming from the throne room." the maid sighed.

"Yeah, I really shouldn't have run off. But you caught my eye and then my father was gone and well, I was suddenly lost."

"No problem."

They rounded a corner and walked in on the arguing.

"There's my cute mother and amazing father." Soleil boasted pointing to Laslow and Flora.

The maid froze though, staring at Flora. She began to make an odd, strangled gurgling noise. Soleil looked at her with a raised eye.

"Are you okay? That doesn't sound healthy."

"F-Flora…" she whispered in a strained voice.

"Yeah, that's my mother."

The maid began walking towards Flora, ignoring Soleil. Tears began to run down her face. Flora glanced over at the newcomers and went wide eyed.

"Flora...you're...you're okay. You're alive, alive...ho...how...why did...where were you? The last two years...I've blamed myself. I-I...I…" she fell to her knees "Flora...Flora!" she burst out crying.

Flora ran over to her.

"Felicia. So you're okay in this world." she crouched down and began to hug her sister.

"What did I miss?" Soleil asked.

"Um...you know, a bit." Laslow said with a shrug.

"Okay, enough!" Ryoma ordered, everyone except Flora and Felicia falling silent.

"We need to sort this out. Half of this story isn't making sense, or there are holes in it, whatever it is, we need to get everything straight. First off, how many people are there supposed to have come here."

"Myself, Blake, Indigo, Severa, Owain, Corrin, Camilla, Flora, Soleil, Chrom, Lissa, I think Robin and that mercenary guy." Anna listed off.

"I think Vaike...and Cordelia where...coming too." Blake added.

"There were another two I think. A cavalier and...I don't remember the other person." Camilla said folding her arms.

"So there's meant to be fifthteen, but only seven are here."

"Myself and Anna...weren't meant to come…" Blake said with a hint of bitterness in her voice.

"Next, why did you come?" Ryoma asked.

"To slay a dragon that would bring ruin to the world with his malevolent will driven by the madness that waits at an eternity's end!" Odin yelled.

"Kill a mad dragon, okay, where?"

"That we can't say."

"A curse kills you...via evaporation into water...if you say the land's...name."

"So that's what happened to Azura…" Ryoma murmured.

"Did you guy's kill a big dragon with the Yato?" Soleil asked.

"No, meaning this may threaten us as well." Ryoma scowled turning away.

"Well, this is a mess." Anna sighed.

"How do you even get to the dragon?"

"Jump into the...bottomless canyon when the...sky's of Hoshido and Nohr...swap colour."

"No Blake, that's suicide." Ryoma's scowl grew.

"The way everything is going, I'd believe that." Odin chuckled.

"Okay...I, I feel better now." Felicia sudden said standing up.

"Good, please don't cry anymore, I'm here in front of you." Flora reassured.

"Did you catch all that dear?"

"Catch what?" Felicia asked rubbing away tears.

"First off...I-" Anna cupped Blake's mouth.

"Tell them later, we're making progress here."

Blake only glared at Anna. After a few seconds of silence, everyone heard running.

"...didn't register it was Blake! I have to see her!"

"Corrin! Wait!"

Corrin rounded the doorway and ran into the group of nine. She staggered back.

"Woah, alotta people."

She glanced over and locked onto Blake, running and hugging her.

"You're okay, when you vanished I looked and made others look all over for you!"

Kaze ran after a second and stopped when he saw Flora.

"Corrin, I'm surprised you're not more shocked about her." Kaze pointed at Flora.

Corrin turned and saw her, shock consuming her face.

"What...how...Flora, you're okay!" she jumped onto her "Where've you been these two years! Jakob is going to be pissed! And Felicia-" Felicia waved at Corrin, catching her eye "Oh."

"Corrin isn't very, observant, is she?" Anna whispered.

"Tell be about it." Ryoma groaned rubbing his temples.

"Sister, I'd like it if you didn't push the conversation backwards. I thought Kaze was training you today?" Ryoma asked.

"She won't stop running around." Kaze sighed.

"We can finish that tomorrow."

"Corrin, do you still...have the Blazing Yato?" Blake asked walking over.

"Yeah, it's in my room."

"You left it in the room with the twin?!" Kaze yelled.

"Camilla's minding them, they'll be fine." Corrin said with a hand wave.

She then noticed Camilla to her left.

"Wait, why are down here!?"

"Corrin dear, are you alright? There seems to be a lot of shouting and crashing?" a familiar voice asked.

The growing group turned to see Camilla walk into the room holding two young children, except she was wearing a purple top and black shorts. Anna put her head in her hands.

"Can we go five minutes before something bloody happens again!"

"Oh gods there's two of them." Ryoma sighed.

"Fantastic…"

Both Camilla's began chatting instantly before walking out of the room, Odin and Kaze running after them.

"Okay, Blake, you seem to know how to find and fight this dragon thing. How do you know and how do we go?" Corrin asked leaning into Blake's face with a determined look.

"I lived through...one time going to...fight Anankos. The Rainbow Sage told...the third world's Corrin…, how to do all...this. And once again…, jump into the...bottomless canyon when...Nohr and Hoshido swap...sky colours." Blake explained.

Corrin nodded and began to leave when Blake caught her arm.

"You also need...all four of the royal...weapons." she added.

"Oh...that's not good."

"Why Corrin? Simply ask Xander and Leo to help." Flora asked.

"Xander is...dead. And Leo acts friendly but...Camilla is really the only person I knew from Nohr except Felicia and Jakob that don't hate me. I'm surprised that Odin guy didn't try to bite my head off. Over the last two years, Nohr has really deteriorated." Corrin explained in a sorrowful tone.

"Indeed, it's reached a point where the unrest is threatening to rip the country apart. It is even worse than when Garon was in charge. Then, they desperate and starving. Now, they're angry and bitter over the counter invasion. Xander and Elise's dead only compounded the issue." Ryoma said pacing.

"The reasons I heard they haven't tried anything is that their tattered army is busy dealing with all those invisible monster things that keep attacking and that the people are scared to making Camilla angry." Felicia said swaying from side to side.

"I love how the reasons are 'our army's in ruins' and 'the princess is scary'." Anna sneered.

"Well if this dragon wants to destroy everything, then King Leo has to listen to reason."

"Especially if we show up with two Camillas and Odins and mes." Laslow chuckled.

"And Corrin and...Selena."

"Well then, we somewhat have a plan then." Ryoma nodded.

"No, we really don't." Anna rebuked.

"Well, we have the bases of a plan then." Ryoma stressed the middle part "We'll figure more tomorrow, we'll rest on it. You need it Anna."

Anna opened her mouth and then looked at her slinged arm.

"I guess…"

"Felicia, show all our guests to the guest rooms. Corrin, find the Camillas and dark mage." Ryoma ordered.

Yukimura walked in as they all left.

"Do you believe that mess of a story your Highness?"

"I shouldn't. But there are two Camillas, and Flora is alive, so there is evidence. As much as I wish it all was a story."

Yukimura only sighed and nodded before leave.

"Someone save me from this nightmare."

AN: Don't have a ton to say, just that I hope people are enjoying the the story. That's about it.
Anyway, enjoy.
