Hi, readers! I was really rushing today while hoping that my story would still go well. I can't believe at how much research I had to pull up every time a new character comes up or when someone is talking. I had to make sure I got their character right or at least shown that they've grown a bit since the war at least. I realized, while I'm writing about the Fire Emblem Awakening and Fates, I also should've put up warning signs for spoilers as well. I apologize for that, but, since there will always be people bringing up the past, I can't always be putting up signs in every chapter. (Sorry guys. If it was like that, my chapters will always have a alert sign in the beginning and I can't go back and change all that when everyone already read it including when I have to always put it up in front of all the chapters I put up.) So, instead, I'll put up a sign with I have a lot to reveal in one chapter much like the last chapter where I had to reveal the whole plot of CardCaptors Sakura. Other than that, I was also barely able to solve the issue with Germone. I don't know how many of you may like this, but I hope you enjoyed the story as much as I did writing it!

Confusion

At the castle

Yuuki was following the two kids around the castle at first till they came across the same young man, who saved Sakura and her group that night, with another man with red hair and wearing black and red ninja clothes standing in the hall. The three ran up to the two and Ahna said, "Hi, Asugi. Good evening, Saizo."

However, the two didn't turn around. They were staring at someone in front of them. They stepped to the side and saw a man, who looked like their ninja friend, Asugi, only he wore brown light clothes and had candies sticking out from his pockets. Other than his orange hair, he also had the trademark candy stick in his mouth. They stared and Kanna said, "Another Asugi?!"

"Nope. I think they're just lookalikes.", said the woman next to them.

She have pink hair and wore silver armor, a silver light wyvern helmet, and a lance in one hand. Then she held out a hand to the two and said, "Hi, I'm Cherche. I'm a wyvern rider and this person who looks like you is Gaius. He's a former thief. We're both part of the Shepherd that Chrom leads. I assume that you are one of the people that Frederick mentioned earlier? From another world?"

Asugi nodded and said, "Yeah… I'm Asugi and this is my dad."

Saizo said, "I'm Lord Ryoma's retainer, Saizo the fifth. "

He shook her hand. Gaius then said, "Yeah, sorry about this, but I need to leave like now and restock myself on some sweets. Sorry about this. I'll have a proper talk with you guys the next time we meet. See ya!"

With that, he quickly walks off muttering something they didn't quite get. Cherche looks at him and said to them, "Oh no. That doesn't look good. Probably his low blood sugar is causing him to act up again. Sorry, you guys. It's one of his health problems. I'll give him a little more sweets and get a fellow soldier to help me get him back home to Robin. I'll talk to you guys later. I apologize about this!"

With that, she ran off in his direction pulling a small piece of hard candy out from her pocket and waving it as she chased after the thief. Saizo looked at his son and said, "Maybe that proved that I need to keep an eye on you as well."

Asugi shrugs and said, "I'm pretty sure I'll be fine if I put some effort in eating it in moderation every now and then. Though that was very weird, maybe that'd explain why their king kept looking at me strange."

Saizo sighed as Asugi turned his attention to his uncle's kid, Kanna, and their cousin, Ahna. Upon noticing the shy Yuki, he said, "Hey Kana, Ahna. Are you guys going around exploring the place?"

The three nodded and Kana said with excitement, "Yeah! This place is so big and cool like our home back in Valla I really want to take a look around with Ahna, so we're taking Yuki with us."

Saizo said to the kids, "You three should return to the barracks for today. Lady Ahna, King Kamui was looking around for you. Kana, your mother was looking for the two of you with Midori. You should hurry back. You can go and explore this place tomorrow, instead. Right now everyone is returning to the barracks."

Disappointed, Kana and Ahna nodded as the ran back to the barracks pulling Yuki along with them. Asugi watches this and said, "I know that the girl came from another world and have amnesia, but seeing her with Kana and Ahna like this is … well…kind of like as if she's a part of their little group."

Saizo said, "Asugi, you should be addressing the princess as Lady Ahna. She is not a little girl anymore and she is the princess of Valla."

Asugi groaned at his dad's lecture and continued walking back to the barracks. However, despite lecturing his son again, Saizo somewhat understood what Asugi meant. It's only been two days since they've met Yuki, but, since she's always been with the two royal kids ever since the day they met, she was never seen apart from them and would sometimes have people feel like as if she belonged with them. It was strange, but everyone have been getting that feeling whenever they've seen them running around together.

Near the Barracks

Kamui and Corrin were looking around in hopes of finding the three children. They looked around for a while although Kaze and the Queen was sure that they were find and were probably of exploring, but that didn't really help calm them down as they recalled how the two got lost in their own castle for the first few weeks they've lived in Valla. Worried as to where their kids have gone with Yuki missing as well, the twins went around looking for them. The sun was beginning to set when they're conversation with Chrom and his Shepherd, Miriel, came to an end and it was the start of the realization that the three children were missing. It's been only two days, but Kamui and Corrin already wished that they were back home in Valla instead. They wouldn't be so worried, but, since they weren't home, they're only option is to go and look for them, which was exactly what they did. After talking to Lilith and Chrom, they agreed to let them use the alternate dimension that they used during the war against Anankos, instead of the barracks, and told the worried Exalt that, if anything were to occur, they'd let him know immediately. Despite their talk and spreading the word, the only ones who haven't heard of this was their youngest children and Yuki, whom they decided would be under the care of Corrin and Kaze until they found a way to locate her family in her world and send her back home. The two looked around the barracks thinking that they probably gone there, but, much to their disappointment, they weren't found. It wasn't long before they heard the footsteps of two growing teens and the small footsteps of a little child from behind. They turned around and saw the three kids running up to them. Not far behind them was a nervous man with short dark brown hair and wore a strange dull yellow a tunic and leggings with a belt and sheath that held his long sword next to him. Beside him was an older man with the same dark brown hair, but a bit longer, and wore nearly the same exact clothing only it was blue. He also had a long sword to his belt as well. Corrin scolded the kids as the older one said, "So those are your kids?"

Kamui turned to the warriors and said, "Yes, thank you very much for bringing them here. I hope they weren't too much of a trouble."

He shook his head and said with a grin, "It wasn't a problem at all. I had a pretty good spar with Kana. I must say he's a pretty good fighter. If he keeps it up, he'll be a really good swordsman."

Shocked, Kamui said, "You had a spar with him?"

The younger one said, "Yes, he went around looking for you guys and came across our training ground. They've seemed to have watched us for a bit, then, when we were done, asked my father if he could spar against him for a bit. We saw the young lady had a dragon stone and said we can't go against her. So, we went against Kana. He lost, but that was a really good fight."

Surprised at how he called the man his father despite looking like someone from his early thirties, they recalled Lucina and her brother and realized that he must've been from the same place. They nodded as the father said, "My name is Lon'qu."

The man next to him said, "And my name is Owain. We're from Regna Ferox."

Surprised, Corrin asked, "From another kingdom? Then, pardon me asking, but why are you here today?"

Lon'qu stepped back nervously as Corrin walked up to them. Curious at his sudden behavior, Corrin steeped back and asked, "What do I have anything on me? Did I do something?"

Ahna walked next to her aunt and said, "He had the same reaction when he saw me."

Owain shook his head and said, "I guess I'll tell you since the other shepherds already know about this, but my dad have a problem with women. He doesn't discriminate against them. It's just a past trauma got to him and so he's sort of scared of them when they approach him. Sorry about that. The only women he's alright with is my mom. He even still have some issue being around my wife and daughter."

Surprised, the girls only nodded and Corrin said, "Alright. Sorry about that Lon'qu. We'll be more careful. You got that, Ahna."

Owain flinched at the name, then turned to his dad and said quickly, "Sorry about this, dad, But I just remember I was hoping to get a book for my daughter. I need to go make sure They haven't closed yet. I heard they'll be out of town tomorrow."

Lon'qu narrowed his eyes and said, "A spell book? Alright, but you better be quick and get it if they're going to close."

Owain nodded and ran. Lon'qu shook his head and said, "I'm surprised at how much he dotes on his daughter. Though I guess it was more surprising that she grew up to the same age he came into our world although he wasn't gone for too long."

Recalling what Chrom told them, Kamui turned to his sister, who looked back with a nod at the same thought. Lon'qu turned to the two and said, "Well, who are you? By what the kids told me, you two are from a different world. I heard that you were going to stay in a "different dimensions". Why are you here?"

Kamui said, "We were looking for the kids. They've been gone for a while and it's dark, so we got worried. I'm Kamui and this here is my twin sister, Corrin."

The young lady nodded. Lon'qu looked surprised and said, "If I recall correctly, Frederick said you two are of the royal family of Valla. Then that make those two…"

Ahna shouted, "I'm Ahna! I'm the princess of Valla."

Kana said, "I'm Kana, her cousin. People always mistaken me for her brother."

Kamui nodded and said, "Yes, Ahna is my daughter and Kana is my nephew. I'm her father and the King of Valla."

Lon'qu shook his head and said, "I-I see. It's still a surprise that those kingdoms actually exists. They've been a fairytale for a really long time."

Kamui laughed and said, "And I came here the first time thinking that nobody would've heard of our kingdoms. Imagine me and my siblings surprise to hear that our kingdoms are referred to as 'mythical'! So, it was a surprise for us!"

Lon'qu then asked, "Some shepherd and I've been wondering for a while now. Just how did your children grow up so fast? Many of ours came from the future, so we're not surprised. But I doubt yours also went through the same thing."

Kamui nodded his head, understanding the same confusion Chrom had gone through and said, "During the war, our friends discovered a realm in space called the Deep Realm. Because it was a relatively safe place that not even our enemy knew about, we sent our kids and some servants there to be raised without worry of the war catching them. The only problem was that the place's time runs differently from ours making it faster than our world. So, it wasn't long before we were forced to bring our kids with us. During the time, the enemy was catching on to this and have already begun to try and reach there. In the end, we had to bring all the children out of the place fast, which we did. Although, some just forced or begged us to let them join, which was expected in some case. They grew up pretty fast in just one year or so too."

Lon'qu thought for a bit and whispered, "I wonder…"

Corrin said, "We think we know what you're thinking about. Is his daughter, by any chance, a sorcerer name Ophelia?"

Lon'qu looked honestly surprised, then groaned and said, "How does those kids do this?! Don't tell Owain this. We promised him we wouldn't go and ask him anymore questions."

Kamui nodded and said, "Alright. We promise."

Lon'qu looked at the suspiciously and said, "How do I know that you will keep it?"

Corrin said, "We already promised someone else about nearly the same thing."

Lon'qu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Oh, who is that?"

Kamui answered, "Sorry, can't tell you that. The person told us everything regarding his child and in turn asked us not to bother their children to which we agreed."

Lon'qu just sighed and said, "Maybe some other time we'll continue this talk. I need to go and see my wife and the younger Owain right now. I'll see you later."

With a nod from the king, Lon'qu left the group. Ahna and Kana turned to their parents and Ahna asked, "Does this mean we can't see Ophelia, Caeldori, or Soliel?"

Kamui and Corrin turned to the kids and said, "You two aren't allowed to talk to their children for now, okay? We can't let their parents know that we already know that they're here or that their grandparents are catching on to them."

The two nodded as Yuki only looked on in confusion. Corrin held the little girls hand and said, "It's getting dark. Let's go back now and sleep, okay? Kana, can you tell me what you and Ahna seen today when you've gone exploring?"

Remembering the other two Shepherds they've met today, Ahna blurted out, "We've seen another Asugi talking with Asugi today!"

Kamui and Corrin paused and said, "Wait, what?!"

In the Hallway

Chrom was walking through the hallway with Lucina and Germone. They've been talking of how he and the twin nobles have first met assisting the two in eliminating their dangerous beast. Germone can't help but shake his head at how naïve his father in law just believed in them that time and helped them. Lucina already knew of the trust her father puts on the people, so she understood why he'd so easily believe in their words without hesitation. The three was going to see the younger Lucina and Inigo before going back to their room. Suddenly, Inigo and Lucina came running out of Olivia and Chrom's room in their pajamas and nightgown giggling as Olivia ran out the door chasing after the two troublemakers. Although, the mood in the castle was still a little anxious, the presence of the children helped lighten the mood a bit with their little innocent antics. Chuckling, Chrom went up and scooped the two in his arms. The younger Lucina shouted, "Father!"

The younger Inigo followed shyly, "F-father."

With a smile, Chrom said, "I see you two are causing your mother quite some trouble now."

Olivia ran up to them out of breath and said, "S-sorry, Chrom. The two was too hyper to go back to sleep. They ran out the door at the mention of bedtime. I think something caught their attention today when they saw the group. They've been running around all day."

Chrom thought for a bit and said, "I think it may have to do with some people in the group today."

Olivia was confused for a bit and Chrom said, "I remember seeing Kamui and Corrin's children with a smaller girl with them. It wouldn't surprise me if she wanted to play with them."

The younger Lucina shouted, "Can we Father?"

Chrom said, "You two can't go and play with them today. It's awfully dark out and the children maybe fast asleep right now. Maybe tomorrow."

The kids sulked and the younger Lucina said, "Okay."

Olivia said, "Lucina, Inigo, I'll read you a story of Marth the Hero-King for bed time, if you two go to bed."

The two faces lit up and smiled as the younger Lucina nodded her head. The little girl said, "Yes!"

With that, the two got down and ran back to their room. Olivia sighed with relief and said, "I'm glad the two ran out in their pajamas at least. It was hard giving them a bath earlier too when they keep running around."

The older Lucina said, "I never remembered being this hyper before. So, why such a difference?"

Germone said, "That's probably because this version of yourself still have your parents with her, just as our younger selves did, and so she is still able to continue growing into her own personality without much pressure of wanting to destroy Grima. It was the same with my younger self. You saw how he was."

Lucina chuckled from remembering the growing child, who always did his best to get his dad's praise and attention, due to Frederick's job at being next to Chrom's side for a long time. Surprisingly, due to the absence of Frederick's and Cherche's death, the younger Germone's growth was surprisingly different from the one Lucina's husband had. He was obedient, did his best in showing his loyalty to Chrom's younger daughter as she would be the next Exalt similar to Chrom and Frederick, and, above all, he loves Minerva, much like her Germone. There was never a day where he never greeted and played with the wyvern at least once. He also did his best to be like Frederick in almost every way. It made Frederick really happy as a parent rather the younger Germone succeeded or failed. It also made her mother in law, Cherche, awfully happy as the child always asked his mother for training to become a wyvern rider like his mother, though he was still too young and was taught how to use a practice lance for now with Germone's help instead of riding her Minerva. It was still a wonder on how his brown hair turned black over the years after the war ended. Cherche and Frederick wondered if it was because someone from either side of their family and that this trait came in later than usual. However, in the end, nearly all their younger selves' growth was different from what they once was in their world, where their parents were absent for a large majority of their growth. Her best friend, Cynthia, however, was the same and her younger self still grew up to be just the same as her future self, including tripping over her own boots. Chrom, then, said, "Well, despite all that, you can still tell that you're still her future self with or without the Brand. She have the same hair and face as you. Also, her drive to learn how to use the sword is pretty strong, despite Grima being gone for good. That and she have another thing, but that's it. That reminds me. Can you come to the courtyard tomorrow morning before we head of to get things ready? Olivia and I have something to tell you."

Lucina pondered for a bit and asked, "Tomorrow? Sure, but for what reason?"

Chrom chuckled and said with a smile, "Oh, you'll see tomorrow. It's not for work, at least."

Olivia giggled as her daughter from a future world tilted her head in confusion and Germone just chuckled at how clueless his wife was on what Chrom meant. Lucina turned and asked, "Germone? Why are you laughing? Is it something you know as well?"

Germon only folded his arms and said with a rare smile, "Oh, you'll find out eventually."

Lucina just felt more and more lost, but, if Germone is not taking this as a bad sign, then it shouldn't be a bad thing. However, why does it feel like she's forgotten something very important?

In The Alternate Dimension

Unable to sleep, Takumi and his wife, Mozu, who was a simple country girl with a white flower for each of her chestnut colored pigtails and wore a simple brown and white country girl dress with a brown collared cloak as she had her naginata, took a walk in the dimension and were armed in case of an attack. They've all been on the edge more than before due to hearing that both Nohr and Hoshido were taken by the unknown enemy. Remembering the news made Takumi unable to sleep at night, so Mozu decided to have a walk with him in hopes to get him to calm down a bit and move his thoughts away from the problem at hand. With this, he could probably get some sleep in order to be up and about the next day. As they were about to pass by his siblings' place, they heard a loud scream. It sounded like it came from a girl. Takumi and Mozu looked around and ran to the scream. It had began to fade when Takumi and Mozu arrived in front of Corrin's room. He knocked on the door. The door opened slightly, then Kaze poked out and said, "Ah, Lord Takumi! Did it got you up too?"

Takumi wondered what the ninja meant till Kaze quickly let him inside and he saw Corrin and Sakura trying their best to quiet down a sniffling little girl, whose eyes felt like it's looking elsewhere rather than directly at him. Saizo was there watching the girl with Kagero doing her best to calm the girl down. Saizo, then went over to Kaze and said, "I'm going to let Lord Ryoma know that everything is alright."

Kaze nodded as his brother went out the door. Mozu went over and talked with Corrin on what had happened. Corrin shook her head and said, "I believe that it was a nightmare again. This time I saw Yuki tossing and turning. Next thing, I knew she suddenly woke up screaming again. We did our best in calming her down again till Hinoka, Sakura, and Kaden came in. Camilla and Keaton were here too, but they and Hinoka left after helping me calm her down."

Kaden, who was watching on the side, said, "I heard her scream all the way back in our room and followed her scream to here. I met Keaton and Camilla here too. After they got her to stop crying, Camilla left to let Xander know what happened. Hinoka was here before we were and followed Camilla out the door. Apparently, Hinoka already guessed that it was Yuki and got Xander to stay in their room. I think she got the idea of what may occur if two strong people came through the door all of a sudden. I guess Kagero got the same idea and brought Saizo with her. Not long after, you guys came in."

The woman with a long brown ponytail and in a woman ninja clothes said, "We already knew who it was and told Lord Ryoma that we would take care of it. Now that, that's taken care of, I also need to leave, but I'll come back again and help if she starts crying again."

With that, she patted the girl on the head and left through the door as Kaze thanked her for helping them. Not long after, there was another knock on the door. This time Corrin got up to open it after telling her husband to watch over Yuki in her place as Kaze took his place next to the girl. This time, Nyx came inside. Nyx looked worried and said, "What happened? Did she have a nightmare?"

Corrin nodded. By now, Yuki have stopped crying and was wiping away her tears as Sakura helped. Nyx went over to the girl and said, "Are you feeling better now?"

Yuki nodded her head and said, "Sorry for waking everyone up…"

She was unable to meet their eyes and was embarrassed by what she's done upon realizing what had happened. Takumi said, "It's no problem. Mozu and I were just having a walk. You didn't wake us up."

His wife nodded in agreement. Sakura gently patted the girl on the back and said, "W-we had to make sure you were okay. We're just glad that nothing was wrong."

Kaden nodded and said with a smile, "Yes."

Nyx patted the girl's head and said with a small smile, "It's normal for the adults to worry over children, so you don't have to feel so apologetic. Just accept it. It's more important for us to know that you're safe."

Yuki nodded at hearing her words. Corrin asked, "Are you ready to go to bed now?"

Yuki hesitated for a bit and Kaze said, "If you go to sleep now, you can play with our kids tomorrow morning and probably with the other children too."

At this, Yuki thought for a bit, then nodded. Corrin helped get the child ready for bed once again. Kaze thanked the group, who came to help them. After they left, Nyx stayed behind and said, "My husband and I heard from Kamui that you two would be taking care of Yuki. We need to talk about the girl. King Kamui and Leo is just outside of the door."

Corrin nodded as Kaze said, "I'll look after Yuki. You can go ahead and see what Prince Leo and Nyx have to say."

Corrin said, "Alright. Good night, Yuki."

The child nodded as she hugged the worried looking fox next to her. The, she walked out the door. Like Nyx mentioned, Leo was outside standing next to the door waiting for them to come out with standing Kamui next to him with a worried look on his face. Corrin closed the door behind them as the warm spring breeze blew between the three. She said, "Hi, Leo, Kamui! You, guys, and Nyx wanted to tell me something?"

Leo nodded and said, "We already told Kamui about this, but the little guardian of the girl in the other group was able to discern a little of the magic Yuki have with her."

Kamui nodded. Corrin remembered that, when they met Yuki, some of her siblings and Nyx have seen the magic coming out from her. To be honest, although it's only been two days, she nearly forgot all about that. She asked, "That's right. So, it was magic from their world?"

Leo shook his head and said, "We're not too sure. The little beast didn't mention that it was from their world, but rather it seemed to be similar to the form of magic they were created from."

Corrin nodded. Having already seen a plush toy that talked and transform into a beast with wings, she wasn't too surprised that they were created other than, probably, the fact that they have their own consciousness and were alive, but she wasn't too surprised on that and said, "So what did it say?"

Leo said, "He said that the magic she have been emitting around her is one that they refer to as Ying and Yang. I'm not too familiar with it, but probably the mages of Hoshido may be familiar in this field. The plush toy said that she's emitting an enormous amount of magic that it seemed to have caught their attention, even though they can't see the energy like we can. However, to them, it seemed to bother them a bit."

Kamui tilted his head and said, "An enormous amount of magic? Does she really have that much magic in her?"

Leo nodded and said, "Apparently so. To the point, that the plush toy said it could possibly harm her and the people around her if she doesn't learn how to control it."

Corrin's eyes widen at Leo's words. Worried for the safety of the girl and the people, Kamui asked, "So what do you think we should do? Is there anything we can do, then?"

Leo said, "It suggested that we try and teach her some magic, so that she can control it, and know what to do and what not to do. The only problem is that most of the magic we know needs us to know how to read. From what we've seen so far, she most likely can't read or write. If so, she wouldn't be in your castle and got lost that easily."

Kamui nodded remembering the small signs he had decided to put up so they wouldn't get lost for the first few weeks living there. However, in the end, their kids would still sometimes get lost in the halls, which lead Kamui and Azura to believe that it may be better if they left some of it on just in case. Over time, they've taken some off, but there were still some on for the kids. If Yuki could read, she would've already seen some of the signs in the hall way back to the stable rather than the courtyard. They also remembered how their idea was confirmed when she had to ask what the signs in front of shops in the streets of Ylisse said. If she can't read, then she obviously can't write either. Corrin asked, "So, you're saying that she should learn some magic, but we need to teach her how to read and write first?"

Leo nodded and said, "That and the plush toy offered to teach her a bit of their magic. I don't know much of the difference between their magic and what the mages in Hoshido or Nohr knows, but I'm planning to go there and see after helping the royal family of Ylisse with their negotiations tomorrow morning."

Kamui nodded and said, "Glad to hear that you'd help them. I heard the situation from Chrom and it seemed like they are in quite a bind."

Leo nodded and said, "Anyway, Robin said that he'll come early tomorrow morning with his daughter to come and bring her to their house to learn. I was told that it would be safe as they're all soldiers and mages, but you may need to accompany her. Just don't let Ahna and Kanna come along."

Confused, Kamui asked, "Why not?"

Leo said, "He said that Subaki and their child will be home tomorrow to watch over his children. Reflet warned me before hand of this."

Corrin nodded realizing that it may be better to have the children avoid each other, especially if the three retainers don't want to let them or their parents to know about what they've done over the time they spent in their world. So, in the end, they may have to go with Yuki to protect and supervise her then. Kamui asked, "Then that really was-"

Leo nodded and said, "I've seen him a few times before. I recognized him as he was leaving their home with a woman with the same silver hair as Reflet, but also in the same long pigtails as Selena always had in the past. That was probably Selena, my sister's former retainer. It was only a coincidence, but, thankfully, they didn't noticed me and left in another direction."

Kamui thought for a bit and said, "It makes me wonder for what reason did they come to our world when they have all this here in their world. Although it would make sense that they would want to come back home, it makes no sense for them to leave here in the beginning."

Leo nodded and said, "Odin never said anything about wanting to go home even once. He did complain that he wished to have more of those 'exciting' tasks that I'd once assigned to him, but, on the day I found one, he disappeared. He wouldn't have left if he had hoped to get assigned with those tasks."

Corrin tilted her head and said, "'Exciting' tasks? What would those be?"

Realized that he messed up what he shouldn't have mentioned, Leo shook his head and tried to come up with an excuse or avert the topic. Nyx smiled having already heard everything from him once before of how he tried to rid of the retainer his father forced him to have by his side. Thankfully, he gave up as all the impossible items and task he forced Odin to go retrieve or do was completed effortlessly. Nyx help her husband out and said, "About Yuki. We're going to see if Orochi or another mage from Hoshido or Nohr can teach her something after she learns how to read. However, I'd like for her to stay far away from dark magic for now. Even if she shows promise in it, I'd like for her to stay away from it. She's too young to get involved with it like I did."

Leo nodded knowing that this was a topic from the past that she didn't not like at all and said, "I'd be glad to teach her a thing or two on some basic magic, but I don't have the time to always teach her something daily and she needs to know how to read and write for this. Also, since we only just got here, we have a lot of things to sort out, so I won't have the time for these past few days to help her. So it maybe better if the other group teach her something for now to get some of her magic under control. The sooner she learns some restraint the better."

They nodded at Leo's words and Kamui said, "Corrin and I are going to have a quick meeting with Chrom tomorrow about the journey. In the mean time, I can have Kaze and another person go with her."

Leo nodded and said, "It'd be good if someone close to her, like Kaze or Corrin, accompany her, but whose the other person?"

Kamui said, "I'm thinking of asking Silas to watch over her. It'd be best in people from Hoshido doesn't come. If Subaki sees them, then it may stress out both sides. Silas have known Selena for a while, but also understands the situation of what's going on. It may be best to have them go. Kaze knows the situation with the three former retainers as well, so it should be fine."

Nyx spoke up and said, "Is it alright if I go as well?"

They looked at her with a questioning look. Nyx said, "It'd be best if someone familiar with some form of magic comes along, but, above that, I'm worried that Yuki's magic could go out of control at the wrong place and time. That may hurt everyone around her and herself especially. If that were to happen, I can help minimize the damage and protect the people as much as possible."

Leo understood the reason for her worry over the child and said to his brother, "I think that's a good idea. Takumi will be at the negotiations and Inigo will be coming along too according to Reflet. Nyx declined coming with me, so she should be alright going with Yuki."

Kamui nodded and said, "Alright. I can have Kaze and you go with her then. Silas will be helping us get ready for the journey to Regna Ferox tomorrow instead. We'll come take over sometime in the early afternoon."

They nodded, then Leo and Nyx left to their room. When they were out of sight, Corrin said to her twin, "Do you think that Nyx is seeing herself in Yuki with the fact that she have a large amount of magic in her?"

Unsure, Kamui shook his head and said, "I don't know, but maybe. She probably doesn't want her past to be repeated. Anyway back to the topic, I think you should let Kaze know about this."

Corrin nodded and said, "Alright, I'll see you tomorrow then."

Kamui said, "Yeah. Try and get some sleep at least. Good night, Corrin."

"Alright. Night, Kamui."

At Inigo's house

That night the three friends and their families got together for a quick meeting at Inigo's home. Despite Inigo's tendency to ask some women out for tea, which was mostly his wife accompanying him in the end, he and his wife, Beruka, a young woman with sky blue hair and wore dark assassin clothing with a dark headband and an axe at her side, was able to earn enough to live away from the castle and on their own. With them, in their average stone home, was two of Inigo's friends, Severa and Owain with their families. Their daughters all went up to Soliel's room for their own girl talk as the adults talk amongst them selves. Owain started, "You wouldn't believe who I saw today when I was training with my dad today!"

Elise, a young lady with long blond curly pigtails with strands of purple hair and wore a pretty black gothic dress with pink ribbons and a staff in hand, said with excitement, "Really, what happened?"

Severa narrowed her eyes and said, "I bet this have something to do with how some people from their world came into ours does it?"

They were purposely making sure not to mention anything that occurred during their time in Valla as the curse was still there. Owain said with wide eyes, "You knew?! I saw Ahna and Kana today. Then, I met King Kamui and Princess Corrin afterwards and had to leave quickly. Not only that, along the way to the gates after our encounter, I saw the Velouria and Keaton in the courtyard. Above all, I also so Lady Camilla coming to get them! I nearly fainted when I saw them."

Beruka's eyes widen at the mention of the princess that she once served as her retainer. She recall how Camilla have decided to throw away her title as princess to live with her family after the connection between the three kingdoms have stabilized to a safe point where she can leave the royal family to live with Keaton and her daughter. She looked to her husband, Inigo, who nodded, and realized that this was what he had wanted to tell them when he got home saying that he had something very serious to mention to the group. He said, "Last night, I went to go and help father when he didn't come back home last night with Lucina and Germone, but, when we got there to help him and things weren't looking too good despite the help of a group of people from a world different from the one we've been to, there was a hole in the sky and the enemies were coming our from there just like when we came into this past. When, the enemies stopped pouring out from the hole, I was about to ask of a way to close the portal, when the royal families we know of came out of that portal. It surprised me, but I followed along and acted oblivious to who they were."

Severa was already surprised to hear of the princess she had once served as a retainer being here, but it was a surprise and a concern to hear of them coming here through that method. She said, "They didn't just teleported here like we did, but, rather, came through a portal? Did it close afterwards?"

Inigo nodded and said, "Yeah, it did. I was surprised too. It was also shocking to hear what they said to Chrom when they were explaining what happened. They mentioned all the lands and that a new danger was coming to threaten this world. Apparently, it had already taken over Nohr and Hoshido. Now, it's aiming for that land!"

Subaki, Beruka, and Elise was alarmed to hear the news. The land they were born in and had spent their lives protecting was conquered by this new danger and it was now aiming for Valla. However, Severa narrowed her eyes and asked, "If it was aiming for that place, for what reason would they come here? Shouldn't they be there ready to defend it? Of course, I'd be eager to help and drive it back too, but I don't understand why King Kamui and Princess Corrin would leave that place when they're taking care of it. If it were them, they'd be getting ready to go against it. Why come here?"

Inigo answered, "They said that it will be aiming for this world next. According to them, it was able to travel dimensions like they were and their dragons won't be able to hold it back for long. They were told to come here to help us and get the assistance of father and the Fire Emblem of this world."

The group feel silent as they heard the news. Beruka was glad that Camilla was safe from the danger in this world, but Subaki and Elise were still a little worried. Subaki asked, "Then what about Lady Sakura? Was she amongst the group?"

Inigo nodded and said, "Yes, Subaki. You don't have to worry. When I said 'royal families', I meant everyone. Their all their retainers and their families are fine too. So, you don't have to worry too much either, Lady Elise."

Relieved, Elise said, "Oh, just call me 'Elise'. I'm not a princess from any kingdoms here. Just plain 'Elise' is fine. Anyway, I'm glad to here that my siblings and Sakura are alright. I am worried about Nohr and Hoshido. That place as well."

Inigo nodded and said, "You'll be surprised to hear this, but they actually mentioned that place! I'm surprised it didn't occur to them and pretty happy too. It nearly gave me a slip up!"

Shocked, Severa shouted, "What?! They did? Nothing happened to them as well?"

Everyone was surprised at this news. Not too long after, a teenage girl with short sky blue hair and wore light armor with a white and gold lining hair band and a silver sword next to her nervously came into the living room with another teenage girl with blond hair wore a dull yellow female mage clothing and a head dress of a yellow cloth tied to the back of her head with a small gold headhand and a tome in hand, and another teenage girl, who looked much like Cordelia, but wore her red and white Hoshidan style armor that was somewhat like Queen Hinoka's and had a hair band with a pair of wing on the side with her naginata in one hand. close behind them. Catching on to something was up as their children were acting suspiciously, Inigo asked blue hair girl, "Soliel, did something happened? You three didn't happen to break something again, did you?"

Soliel looked at the girls, who only looked back in silence. Worried, Owain asked his daughter, who seemed to be holding back tears with one hand as she held her tome, "Ophelia, did something happened?"

The adults grew worried at the girls' silence till the red hair girl finally spoke up, "Ophelia mentioned that place by accident just now…"

Everyone was silent. The families knew Caeldori was not the type to tell a lie that easily, or none at all. With her idea to be like her perfect father and hardworking mother, she was serious with everything she did, but that's why they only grew more worried at what she said. Shocked, Severa tried her best not to scare the girls and said, "Wait, what? She said the name of the place out loud? Ophelia, are you alright?"

Owain and Elise looked at her anxious that something may occur to their little girl. If they other family weren't here, Owain would be running up and checking to see if she was okay before she answered. Ophelia nodded and said, "I'm alright. Nothing happened to me."

Hearing this, Owain hugged her relieved that nothing occurred to her and said to his friends, "Guys, I know that you won't like this, but-"

Inigo interrupted, "But you're going to see them, correct? I'll help you out, then."

Surprised by their sudden decision, Severa shouted, "Wait! What about our thoughts on this? Who are we going to ask? I know we can't keep this a secret for long, but who are we going to ask? I'm glad nothing happened to the kids, but I'd like to be in this too, you know!"

Inigo smiled and said, "I know and trust me. You're in this too. If this keeps up, eventually something will happen to the kids. Now, Ophelia mentioned a taboo from their birth world and nothing happened to them, but, before we make assumptions, we need to see what's going on there."

Subaki nodded and Severa nodded, then said, "Okay. Didn't think you'd step up like this one day, though. That's a little unusual."

Owain laughed and said, "Did your time with King Xander and your family finally start getting to you?"

Inigo laughed and said, "Maybe, maybe not. Honestly, I sort of surprised myself just now. But still we need to get to the bottom of this. You three don't have to worry for now."

Owain said, "Ophelia, it's good to hear that you're fine, but I want you to stay with me or you mother at all times, alright? We want to make sure nothing happens to you, alright?"

The girl nodded with the other girls. She stayed with her mother as the other girl stayed to one side while their parents talked about their next step. Owain said, "I'm going to be at a meeting with my father and Uncle tomorrow. King Kamui and Princess Corrin will be there. I can ask them directly after the meeting. Though it seems like I'll have to start confessing things in front of them and possible my father tomorrow. Ophelia, I want you to come with me, alright?"

She nodded and Inigo said, "Alright. That's fine with me. It's not like we have much of a choice anyway. I'll be asking Prince Leo tomorrow about what happened to bring them here in more details that is if he's willing to cooperate with me…"

Severa and Subaki thought for a bit and talked aside for a bit, then came back and Subaki said, "I got word from my father-in-law that some of the soldiers of our former world will be accompany a girl that needs some education in magic from a resident at my wife's home. I'll ask them about it. There's also a chance that King Kamui and Princess Corrin may also be there to check on the girl."

Inigo thought for a bit and said, "You know, that girl was a little weird."

Beruka, who had been listening to all this asked, "How so? I thought she was a student of Prince Leo or one of the other mages when you said that."

Inigo shook her head and said, "No. During the fight, Princess Ahna and Kana were protecting her away from the field of battle. I don't think she knows anything about magic. She didn't have a staff or a tome on her. She only had a white fox cub in her arms. She looked a bit unusual too. Dang it. Maybe I should've stayed behind a bit longer and listened. If only Father hadn't mentioned Soliel's name."

Shocked, Beruka said, "He said her name in front of everyone?! Maybe we should've changed the children's names after all…"

Inigo shook his head and said, "No, everyone already knows them by their current name and we couldn't have guessed that something like this would happen one day. If we did, we would've been more prepared than just a name change."

Owain nodded at his friend's words and said, "He's right. Not only, but I'm hoping that Father hadn't said much when I told him that I had to leave early. He stayed behind with King Kamui and his twin sister."

Severa sighed at this and said, "You idiots shouldn't have mentioned about your kids right in the beginning then. I swear you boys are always like this! Well, now we know they must have some suspicions. Who know how they'd react when we ask them tomorrow."

Beruka sighed and Elise smiled knowing that their husbands were just too proud of their children that they couldn't not mention them. Even Severa remembered quite a lot of times when Subaki was like that after Caeldori was born into the world. Beruka then said, "Okay, about this girl, what is she like?"

Inigo thought for a bit and said, "She wasn't as fazed by the fight as I had initially thought she would be. Then, in the throne room, she looked like a shy and nervous girl, but her appearance was unusual. Aside from her white fox, she had long white hair and pink eyes. She looked like she could be a few year younger than Ahna. Probably ten or eleven. It did surprise me that they'd bring a normal girl with them though. I'm sure the kings wouldn't go along with this so easily. Maybe they had to bring her?"

Severa said, "So, you're not sure why either?"

Inigo shook his head and said, "I don't know. They've never mentioned the reason. Probably only after I left?"

Elise said, "My big brothers wouldn't bring a girl into battle. They'd be against it completely! So, maybe the situation compelled them to bring her? Maybe like the danger?"

Owain nodded his head and said, "Maybe the notice of the ultimate destruction compelled them to bring the girl with them?"

Upon Owain's choice of showy words, Severa sighed wanting to roll her eyes, if only their children weren't present, and said, "If that were to happen, they'd even grasp the closest villager with them. So, no, they couldn't really do that so easily, unless the girl was already present to begin with. Inigo?"

As they were talking, Inigo had a hand to his chin silently thinking. Severa called him again, but he didn't hear her. It wasn't till Beruka called him that they got his attention. Angry, Severa said, "Did you even heard a single word we said?!"

Inigo smiled and said, "Sorry! Sorry! I was listening to everything you said. And I agree. They wouldn't just bring a girl that easily, if they felt like bringing a villager away to safety."

Severa shrugged after confirming that he was listening and said, "Well, anyway, we'll ask them about what happened back in their world. In the mean time, you guys ask whoever you can, got it?"

The group all nodded. After some snacks, Subaki and Severa returned home with their child, Caeldori. Owain and his family stayed around for a bit and chatted before returning back home. After everyone left, Beruka looked to Inigo and asked, "Inigo, are you feeling alright? Is the brand in your eye still bothering you?"

Beruka was aware of the Brand of the Exalt on her husband and child being a mark of importance as it showed their lineage and was also a proof of it, but, as of late, Soliel have been feeling a bit uneasy making her unable to sleep at night, just like Ophelia, Owain, and the Exalt. Inigo on the other hand have been feeling a dull pain in his eye, much like his older sister. As of late, it seems to have gotten worse. Worried, Beruka had talked to him in the past to go and see their healer or his aunt, but he refused and instead decided to see his sister and his father. Inigo turned to her with a smile and said, "Not really, but I got a strange feeling today when I saw the little girl. I may have to ask Father and Lucina about it tomorrow. Hopefully, I'm just imagining it."

Beruka nodded and thought about what tea she can brew to help him calm down tomorrow that is unless he plans on staying in the castle tomorrow. One thing for sure, tomorrow was going to be an eventful day.

Hi, Fanfic readers! Thank you for reading this chapter. It took me a while to remember that some traits came take a while to show up as a physical trait. So, I had to use that to continue saying that Frederick is his father. I bet you can't imagine how shocked I was when I discovered that no one, who had a support conversation with Cherche, had black hair. I basically doomed myself when I said, Germone have black hair and published it like that. I had a hard time figuring out what to put up and I realized that I could always have the look-alikes meet each other. However, I realized, while having Gaius respond or talk, I can't get his accent other than his nickname! (Sigh…) I also had the same issue with the one I feared to have them talk the most, Owain. He's known to have a theatrical and over exaggerating speech, but, as this was hard to copy down, I had to make it seem like the trio have grown since their journey to another world and have calmed down a tiny bit, but, still, I tried in the end and the best I could get was "notice of ultimate destruction", which I believe was one of the worst thing I came up with that time!(Also, extremely lame.) Now I'm worried when Inigo will try to say any flowery words in the future. I hope I don't have to do that. It was hard enough with Gaius and more difficult with Owain. I'm not too sure what to do when that happens, but I guess I'll have to deal with it then when it happens. Anyway I hope you guys enjoy my chapter and I hope to see you in the next chapter! Please give me any advices or reviews in the review box and I'll see you in the next chapter!
