-Chapter 6-
Kingdom of East, Hoshido
At the home castle of Nohr, everyone was just waking up. Xander, the eldest brother met with his siblings at the diner hall to have breakfast with them.
"Good morning, big brother!" Elise greeted positively.
"Good morning, Elise." Xander replied. "You are back to your old self."
"Of course. Well, I am still sad, but I just have to move on forward." Elise stated definitively.
Xander grinned slyly as he padded on her shoulder. "That's the way to go, Elise. We all have to move on forward."
Leo and Camilla joined them as they greeted good morning to each other. Suddenly, that was when the maid came in, bringing the terrible news…
-Fire Emblem Destiny-
Evak was at the Northern Bottomless Canyon. He looked down at the eternal darkness from the side of the cliff as he gulped.
"Corrin….I know that you fell into the canyon, but that dream last night….I can feel that you are still alive somewhere, beyond Nohr. That is why I am here. I know it may sounds crazy, but I'm gonna find you, even if it means that I have to go to one place I'm forbidden to go….Hoshido." he talked to himself.
"Hey, hey, I don't see a person like you travel here," a voice said, spooking him.
He turned around with his sword out as he pointed it to whoever was behind him.
It was a man with messy purple hair with some red bangs. He wore dark purple cloth with silver armor for the forearms that has a blade attached to each forearm, pants with matching color and armored plate for the legs, but it didn't look too heavy or armored. His eyes were silver and his complexion was white. He also wore a black belt with golden buckle, and it had several daggers, and small pouch attached to the belt.
"Who are you!?" Evak demanded as he held the sword in front of the man.
"Now, now, now! Let's put that little toy away. I am just a humble traveler who just came passing by when I noticed you. So I decided to speak with you, and this is how it all happened." He explained.
Evak thought for a moment before he laid down his sword, and put it away.
"So, who are you, if I may ask? Why are you doing here? Seeing the great scenery?" he asked curiously.
"I'm….Well, that is none of your business, but I am looking for someone, and I believe that someone is at the other side of Nohr, Hoshido." Evak answered, but didn't say Corrin's name or even his name.
"I see, I see!" the man nodded in agreement. "Well, if you want to go to Hoshido, then you must be either very brave or very stupid. Gyah gyah gyah!"
The strange man laughed awkwardly. Evak sensed suspicion and weirdness about this man. "I don't have time for this. I'll be going now." He decided as he unleashed his horse, and then got on the horse.
"Wait, wait!" the man stopped him. "Are you seriously going to travel on your horse through these rickety, old bridges?'
"That's the plan." He replied coldly.
"Well, good sir, I do know a better bridge. It is much safer, and I know where it is," he said. "Of course, the choice is yours to make. I didn't mean to bother you at all or anything, but it is only a suggestion."
Evak thought for a moment. Should he or should he not trust this….weird man? The bridges did look unstable for his horse to walk on.
"Fine. Show me this better bridge you know about." He decided.
"Woohoo! Traveling with stranger is awesome! Let's go!" the man declared as he led Evak and his horse while he stayed on high alerts with this strange man.
Not too long, Evak was brought to the bridge the man was talking about. It was a natural stone bridge that connected one side of canyon, the Nohr's side with the other side that was part of Hoshido.
"I….didn't know there was a natural bridge here." Evak stated surprisingly.
"Yeap! I use this bridge whenever I travel from Nohr to Hoshido and vica versa. It is part of my secret travelling route." The man explained as they walked over the strong, stable stone bridge.
"I see." The prince nodded. "So….who exactly are you?"
The man thought for a moment before he gasped. "Oh! Oh! Yes, yes! I forgot to introduce myself. How silly of me! Gyah gyah gyah!"
He laughed awkwardly again. "Sorry, stranger. My name is Non."
"Non? That's a….interesting name to say." He commented.
"I am a travelling merchant, selling varieties of useful traveling goods, like this lantern…" he emphasized as he showed each item by saying each of their name. "A rope. A hookshot. And some weaponary!"
He showed the weapons by unzipping his cloth, which was a jacket. He had knifes, daggers, sword, and all kinds of sharp knit-knack.
"Hah, well….I'm kind of impressed of you," Evak said. "So, you sell weapons."
"That's right. I don't care if my customers are Nohrian, Hoshidan, or a transforming robot in disguise. I sell my goods to anyone and everyone!" he stated as he pointed his finger up to the sky in the most epic way.
"Awwww, riiight…" Evak sweated. He declared mentally that this man is the weirdest person he ever met, and yet….talking with him was very interesting.
By the time they ended their…interesting conversation, they managed to cross over the bridge and arrived in the land of Hoshido. Non led Evak to a nearby village, where there was an inn where they could stay for the night. As an appreciation and token of friendship (Non declared all of that, even though Evak was against it), Non paid the fees for him since Evak didn't have Hoshidan currency.
"Awwwwww…." Evak relaxed as he delved into the warm hot spring. "This feels great. I never have been in a hot spring before."
"It is a gift of nature that only Hoshidan can get. Hot spring is the best, especially in Hoshido." Non stated.
"You know, I wouldn't argue with that." Evak nodded. The hot spring was really doing well on him, but he still had an important thing to do.
"By the way, I was thinking…" Non spoke. "You stated when we first met that you are looking for someone. You believe that someone is here, somewhere in Hoshido."
Evak's relaxed mood became serious and stern look. "Maybe. I'm not quite sure, but…." He thought for a moment, if he was having an internal debate, but he quickly decided to say it. "I'm looking for my brother who my family thinks he's dead. However, I don't believe he is because I saw him, alive and well….in my dream."
Non nodded. "Aww, I see. It sounds like you have a strong bond with this brother that you speak of."
Evak smirked. "Hmph, thanks. I appreciate that you helped me a lot, Non, especially this hot spring."
"Gyah gyah gyah. Your very welcome." He laughed cheerfully.
-Fire Emblem Destiny-
The next morning, Evak and his new friend, Non traveled to the snowy valley. They decided to travel through the valley because it was a shortcut, according to Non. Evak also sensed something about this valley, so he decided to go along with him.
Suddenly, while they were traveling, a mountain disintegrated in front of their eyes.
"Woah! Is my eyes tricking me or did I just saw a mountain disappeared!?" he outburst.
"That! That may be the power of the Dragon's Vein, which means….my brother, he's nearby!" Evak exclaimed as he commanded his horse to move forward quickly.
"Wait, my friend, Evak!" Non yelled, but it was too late as Evak quickly went forward.
-Meanwhile-
Corrin, alongside Rinkah, Kaze, and the mysterious samurai with long, spiky brown hair fought giant troll monsters with armored mask. At the same time, two young women were surrounded by the same merciless creatures, too.
"Hinoka! Sakura!" the samurai man yelled as the creatures throw its punch at him, but he back-flipped himself to dodge the punch.
"We got to get over there!" Corrin exclaimed.
"We shall, milord, but all of these Faceless are in our way!" Kaze pointed out as he blocked the punch with his giant shuriken.
"Damn it! Out of our way!" Rinkah exclaimed as she fought back.
"No! Big Brother is in trouble!" One of the young girls screamed. She was the one with a pink hair, short, and wore white clothes. She looked like a shrine maiden.
"This is my fault! If I didn't sprinkle my ankle, we wouldn't be in this mess!" she moaned.
"Don't beat yourself down, little sis!" The older, red-haired woman stated. "We'll get out of this alive, or my name is not Hinoka, the proud Princess and Defender of Hoshido!"
The older sister fought with her might as she spun her bisento. However, one of the Faceless attacked behind her, hitting her Pegasus as it caused her to fall off.
"Gah!" she hit on the floor.
"Big Sister!" Sakura screamed.
The Faceless was about to stump her until they heard a horse screaming when Evak showed up as he jumped off from his sword and slashed the ugly creature.
"What the!?" Hinoka gasped.
"Need a hand?" Evak smirked with a dirty look as he looked around to see the Faceless looking furious at him for joining into the fight.
"Who the heck are you?" she asked.
"Who am I? I'm gonna be the one who's going save your ass, that's what." He answered confidently as one of the enemies roared, causing a trigger in their minds to strike on him.
Evak evaded the attack, and then strike back with his attack. He ran to the side, and slashed the Faceless's leg with his two swords. Two more Faceless was going to punch at him, but he dodged away, and did something unexpected; he ran below one of the Faceless' crotch as the other one tried to grab him, but it caused to flip backward. He then ran back and jumped over the tripped Faceless, and bounced off by using his stomach like a trampoline. He swung his sword as he slashed the second Faceless' head, cutting it off in the process.
"Wow…." Sakura awed with her mouth gaped open.
He landed safely as he showed off with a peace sign. Suddenly, the last one got back up, standing over him.
"Ah, behind you!" Sakura screamed. Evak turned and looked over his shoulder as the Faceless punched at him.
Suddenly, lightning strike down out of nowhere, shocking the Faceless very strongly. The lightning made its body crisp as it fell to its death. When it fell, the mysterious samurai, Kaze, Rinkah, and Corrin presented as they stood.
"Big Brother!" Sakura cried.
"Ryoma!" Hinoka praised.
"Sakura! Hinoka!" Ryoma stated.
"Corrin!" Evak yelled.
"Evak!?" Corrin surprised.
"Evak?" Ryoma repeated.
"Who?" he asked.
"Ryoma," Corrin said.
"Who!?" Evak asked again.
"You!" Rinkah shouted.
"Me?" Evak shot a look at her. "Oh! You!"
"Rinkah!" Kaze yelled.
"Kaze!" She shouted back.
Evak looked around, and just frustrated as he shouted out. "Gaaah! Enough! OK! I get it! We're all here, even though I have no clue who are you all freaking people are! Anyway, Corrin!"
Evak rushed over and hugged Corrin tightly as he spun him around. "Brother, amigo, bro! You are alive!"
"Um, yes, I am, Evak, but please put me down! I'm getting dizzy…" he said as his face turned green.
He put him down, but still had his hands on him. "Man! And here I thought I'll never find you, but I found you quicker than I thought! Now that we're back together, let's head back home to Nohr."
"Nohr!?" Hinoka heard. "You're with the Nohrian!" She picked up her bisento and aimed it at Evak.
"Wait, Hinoka. Put down your weapon. First, let's discuss this matter more thoughtfully." Ryoman ordered her.
She thought for a moment before she relaxed to her infighting pose.
Some hours later of explaining, Evak was finally reunited with his brother. He told his side of the story that he traveled to Hoshido to find Corrin because he believed that he is still alive.
"Corrin, I'm glad to find you, bro," he said, smiling.
"Yes, Evak. I'm glad to see you again, too." He stated happily.
"Yeah, me too." He nodded. "Although, there is one thing I want to say."
"Um, yes?" he asked as he sweated nervously.
"Why the hell I'm tied up like this!?" he exclaimed. His arms was tied up with ropes as he dragged by Kaze and guarded by Rinkah as they traveled together.
"Sorry, Brother, but it's a very long story, and I'll promise you that everything will be explained when we arrive back at the castle." He reasoned.
"Castle? More like you're sending me to a freaking dungeon! Look at me! I'm a prisoner, damn it!" he argued.
Rinkah gave a sly smirk. "Heh heh. Serve you right for enslaving us."
"Rinkah, there is no need to mock him." Kaze pointed out.
"Hey. Did you forget that his people were the one who arrested us? He deserves this." She stated.
"You want to go, Beast Girl?" he asked mockingly.
"Hmph, I don't mind if I can go with you. I can kill you if I want to, but as Master Ryoma ordered, I can't, and only our Queen will ultimately determine your fate," Rinkah said as she looked away from him.
Evak growled at her as he stuck his tongue out to her without her looking at him. The moment she looked at him, he played to look innocent.
-Fire Emblem Fates Destiny-
They arrived to the capital city of Hoshido. Unlike the capital city of Nohr, the city looked brighter and livelier. The sky was clear without dark clouds or any clouds at all. It was afternoon as some crows cried while the sun was setting down. However, the most interesting thing that caught Evak's attention was the castle.
It looked magnificent, rivalling with Castle of Krakenburg. It had multiple pagoda roofs in varieties of colors, but mostly red. It was composed of several pagoda towers. The castle was built atop a sheer-side mountain.
They entered the castle. Ryoma ordered Rinkah and Kaze to take Evak's horse to the saddle while the position over Evak's entrapment was handed to Hinoka.
They walked down the hallway as they headed to the throne room. Evak, although still grudged about the whole captured thing, looked around with interest as he eyed on every other people they walked by such as the soldiers and "maids." The maids wore very different from the maids they have back at home.
He whistled to showcase how amazed he thought. "Fancy place."
"Just keep walking." Hinoka ordered as she pulled him strongly.
"Hey, watch out, Red Head! I'm only interested in looking around your cozy home. It's not like I'll tear down the whole place down since your mighty older brother in the front confiscated my swords!" he argued.
"Don't be rude to my brother!" she scolded him as she placed her face near him. "And don't call me 'Red Head'!"
"Um…" Sakura spoke. Evak shot a look at her, making her cringe as she looked away before he sighed and moaned.
"We're here, Evak," Corrin said as they stopped in front of the entrance door to the throne room. It was wide and gold in color with face of lion dogs for the knobs.
"Where? The courthouse?" he guessed. "Am I gonna have a lawyer with cool, spiky hairstyle that will save my ass by showing off amazing definitive evidence that prove I am not guilty!"
They stared at him and thought for a moment. "Um…" Sakura spoke again. "No, this is…mother's throne room."
"Even better!" he exclaimed sarcastically.
"This is Ryoma, returning back from our mission. We have brought Hinoka and Sakura alive, and also a prisoner. Please allow us to enter!" Ryoma yelled definitively at the door.
The door opened widely until it was completely opened. They entered the room as Hinoka dragged Evak, so he knows that he needs to move.
Evak looked around as he walked to the end of the throne room. The wall looked a lot prettier than their father, King Garon's throne room. It was decorated with red and green color, with red collars that stood in row and decorated with golden dragon that spun around each collar. He then turned attention to the throne chair, which was sat by a beautiful woman.
She had black hair tied in pony tail, with some bangs that were hanging down on either side of her face and some other strands were curved to her left over her forehead. She wore a silver crown that tied her pony-tail, making her look like a saint, white neck collar with blue color underneath it, and white outfits with a thick, silver belt that covered her waist area. The buckle had a flower for the symbol. Her eyes were purple color, and her complexion was white. She looked lovable and very friendly.
There were also three other men who stood on either side of her throne. One on her right was a man with eyeglasses, blueish-green hair, purplish eyes, and wore dark-colored outfits. The second person was a young man, who looked around Leo's age. He had a gray hair tied in pony-tail, too. He wore mainly blue outfit with white, furry cape hanging behind his waist. He also carried a bow on his back. The other and last man stood on the left side, and he had a messy blond hair, red and white clothes, and wielded a golden scepter with a shiny orange orb for the top. When Evak looked at him, he looked similar to a certain person with a scepter.
'Male version of Lady Tzila?' he thought.
"Sakura, Hinoka, you both are alright, safe and sound. Thanks to Dawn." The Queen looked very relieved
"Mother, we're sorry to make you worry, but we are OK now." Sakura spoke fluently.
"We're safe, thanks to the rescue by Ryoma, Corrin, Rinkah, and Kaze." Hinoka explained. "Also, we caught this prisoner who is from Nohr, and claims to be the Nohrian prince, and….brother to Corrin."
"What?" the pony-tailed man spoke with a surprise, yet stern expression.
"Oh my!" The man with the eyeglasses gasped. "This is quite a surprise."
"Indeed, Yukimura." Ryoma spoke. "Although, this young man saved Sakura and Hinoka, we captured him, so that he won't escape. He may be a spy."
"Hey! You're just made that up!" Evak shouted.
"Hey you! Be quiet in front of our Queen!" Hinoka scolded.
"Evak, please calm down, and don't say anything rude." Corrin stated.
"Rude!? Well, he's claiming that I am a spy, which I am not! I came all the way from Nohr to find you, bro, but what do I deserve at the end of my misadventure? Getting captured, that's what!" he exclaimed.
"Evak!" Corrin exclaimed.
"You be quiet!" Hinoka pulled hard on him.
He gritted. "Hey, watch it, Red Head!"
"If you call me Red Head again, I'll make you pay!" she growled as spark of lightning zapped between their eyes.
"Please don't fight." Queen spoke, instantly Hinoka and Evak turned their attention to her.
She got up from her throne chair as she walked over to Evak as she kept her smiling expression. Evak, on the other hand, looked at her with a moody expression.
"So….what's next, your Royal Highness? Am I gonna be put in the prison, be a slave, execution?" he stated moodily.
"There is no need for all of that. I only want to say its pleasure to meet you, Evak," she said as she showed her grin. "I know this may be difficult and confusing when I say this, but…I am Corrin's birth mother."
There was a moment of silence that lasted for 5 seconds. "Hey, bro…."
"Yes, Evak?" Corrin asked.
"What did she just said?" he asked.
"Evak, um…" Corrin looked too nervous to say it, but he had to say it. "Queen Mikoto here is….my birth mother. She is my mother, Evak."
"Hmmmmm….." he hummed to himself before he widened his eyes. "Say WHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!"
His sheer outburst was heard throughout the castle.
Hello guys! As part of the 1-year anniversary celebration, I wrote another chapter for this story!
I am happy that you guys are enjoying this fan-fic. The poll for the decision for where this story will go to is going great so far. Like I said many times before, I am getting an interesting vote so far that I never expected to happen. This story truthfully has a bright future ahead.
Evak finally reunites Corrin, but also meets his birth siblings, and most importantly, his birth mother, Queen Mikoto. What do you guys think of Evak's reaction to all of this? I hope you guys enjoyed reading longer chapter. For next chapter, I want Evak to get along with Corrin's birth siblings, which will contain mostly mishap and for him to understand Corrin's side of the story since this is like the "WTF" moment to him.
