It was a difficult feeling, coming to terms with their sister's blood slowly covering their hands. Looking down at the young woman with long bright locks of lavender hair, that still smells of the snowy plains of Nohr. Blood was slowly tainting that smell now. Memories growing dark and sinister within Corrin's own mind.
They couldn't have. They wouldn't have. Yet they did, and now Camilla was dying in their arms. Looking around Corrin spies Jakob watching them with a face of mild concern. A knife in one hand and his staff on his back.
"Jakob! She needs healing!" Corrin shouts across the field as Kaze, and Saizo brings Flora over with her hands tied behind her back. The two brothers watch quietly as Corrin clings to Camilla's body.
"I'm happy," Camilla whispers with a short smile on her face. "That it was you and not one of your men." She turns her head away from Corrin's face. Corrin follows to see Jakob and Elise were both making their way over. "Protect her." Camilla orders as blood continues to fall from her head. There was a cut going from the top of her forward to some point under her hair. Her left shoulder had a large gash in it, but Corrin knew that the wound that was killing her was the claw marks going across her chest.
They hadn't meant to lose control. They had been doing so well in their dragon form that they thought they could control themselves, but when Camilla's ax cut their wing, Corrin could not help but defend. Never thinking they would actually land an attack against their stronger older sister.
Elise cries wake Corrin up to the realization that the older princess of Nohr was dead. Still holding her body, Corrin sets it up to lean against themselves. Her purple locks felt warm, and soft against Corrin's face as they bury it into the corpse's neck.
"I'm sorry Camilla. I'm so sorry." Corrin cries rocking a little back and forth. At some point, Elsie had collapse next to them. Arms wrapped Camilla and Corrin, as she tries to quiet her sobs.
It was Flora who eventually interrupted the scene. "How does it feel Corrin, to kill a member of the family that raised you." Her words were cruel but Corrin never gave an answer. Flora continues, "Are you prepared to take my life too, or are you going to make me stand here and continue watching such a horrible scene. You killed her, why should you be allowed to mourn her loss. You killed my tribe too, by refusing to lose today."
Corrin shakes their head and barely above whisper orders, "let her go." Kaze complies without question as Saizo refuses to lessen his grip.
"Now. We kill no more today." Corrin orders once more, and finally Saizo complies.
"You're cruel Corrin,"
"Leave now. I have no more business with you and the rest of your men today." Reluctantly, almost agonizingly so, Flora takes her leave.
Perhaps it was selfish of them, but Corrin and Elise with the help of few others carry the body back to their own ship. They lay it in the hull below for the rest of their journey on the vessel. Elise never left it, using all her spare magic to heal her wounds and to keep the body from smelling of death yet. It was all she could try to do until they were allowed a moment to bury her.
Corrin's thoughts were elsewhere. Nohr would want the body. Xander and Leo would never listen to her now. Mayhaps even her Hoshidan family would turn their backs completely on her now. Or they could take the murder as a sign that Corrin was truly on their side. They had no clue how the family they never knew would take the news. Yet Xander would be out for blood now. Their older brother had been holding back before, but now maybe they deserved his wrath. No, they absolutely deserved it. If Elise decided she wanted to leave, Corrin would not stop her. Barely even able to look at their hands, how could they ever expect Elise to look at them again. Never with that sweet innocent smile of hers that always assured a brighter day was ahead. Sakura would be terrified of them. There was no doubt of that. Corrin had killed their sister. Death was among them now.
