Chapter 11

"Ahhh! That hit the spot! Nothing like a good night's sleep!" Lest groaned as he stretched his arms. Robin sighed as Kamui giggled. After going back to sleep, Robin had no more nightmare, and she was thankful for that. What was bothering her now was Lest.

"How in Naga's name am I supposed to answer him?" Robin thought to herself. "I need to honestly tell him…but how can I do that when I can't do that when my own feelings are messed up?" Inside Robin's heart was a flurry of emotions. Her feelings for Lest were real, Robin knew that much. She truly loved him. But, she couldn't tell him. Every time Robin tried to, she felt guilt, fear, and all the negative emotion a person could ever feel. So she stayed silent. "I'll figure this out later. Right now, I have to focus…" Just then Lilith appeared.

"Master Kamui. Lady Robin. Sir Lest. How are you feeling?" Kamui spoke up.

"Great actually. We are all." Lilith turned to Robin.

Are you feeling alright, Lady Robin? Kamui had asked me for something, but she never did say what it was for. Robin smiled.

"Yes, I'm alright. You don't have to worry." With a nod, Lilith faced all three of them again.

"That is good to hear. Would you like to return to your world?" The dragon asked. Nodding to each other, the three were prepared to go back. Kamui answered for them.

"Yes…We're ready to go back. I'm especially worried for the others." Lilith's face became serious.

"Very well. I will open the door to the Endless Valley. But know that it is at the border of the Hoshido Kingdom. You may very well encounter some Hoshido troops there." Though they did not voice it out, all three of them understood. This time, Lest spoke up to answer for them.

"Don't worry. We're more than ready for them." Lilith smiled.

"Ok…I'm opening the doors." Suddenly, all three people began to glow brightly, causing them to shut their eyes. When the light faded and they could open their eyes once more, the trio saw themselves at the valley. The three decided to separate to look for any troops. Kamui looked around, a frown appearing on her face.

"…Xander and them, I don't see them…" Though no one heard or saw anything, a person was hidden behind a boulder.

"…Nohr soldiers?" The voice whispered to herself. When Kamui neared the boulder, the person swung at her, knocking the princess cold. Robin, who was near the incident, turned around to see Kamui on the ground.

"Huh?! Kamui! What's-" The hidden assailant brought her club down behind Robin, causing the tactician to black out. Lest, who had heard the cries of Robin, came running to the incident. When he saw who it was, he gasped in surprise.

"Huh?! It's you!"

In Kamui's dreams…

"Where am I…?" Kamui whispered. Her voice echoed in vast, black void. The princess walked around, hoping for some way to escape the vast space, but that where she went, it would simply expand itself. Shivering, Kamui wondered when it got so cold. Suddenly, the princess could see a small glimmer of light out of the corners of her eyes. Rubbing her hands to keep them warm, Kamui walked to the source of the light and saw that it was a partially opened door. She should have been on guard against this, but the warmth from within and her curiosity got the best of the Nohrian royal. She reached out and opened the large oak door. Slowly, the door opened, creaking slightly as it did. The light, now brighter, forced Kamui to squint her eyes as she went in. When the light faded, Kamui opened her eyes to see herself in someone's room. Large, heavy banded books laid in the table and on the floor. The ground was littered with bits of wax and crumbled up papers. The warmth within the room heated Kamui and she sighed happily. As she looked around, Kamui saw a man with dark blue hair on a small chair, crying softly as he held something in his gloved hands. As she walked closer to him, the princess noticed a strange tear shaped birthmark on his right shoulder. At the man side was a sheathed sword, glowing in the candle's light. Tears streaming down his face, the man opened his hands to reveal a small ring with an insignia. The mark on the jewelry was the same as the man's birthmark. Suddenly from behind Kamui, someone knocked on the door. Panicking, the female looked around to hide. Seeing a large bookshelf, Kamui quietly hid behind just as the door opened. Peeking from behind, the princess could see three people enter the room. Two of them had the same shade of blue hair while the third had blonde in two pigtails. The two people with the blue hair, a young man and a woman, also had the tear shaped birth mark, but in their eyes. The woman had hers on the left eye while the man had his on the right. The woman wore an armored blue outfit with a golden tiara. At her side was a sword, similar to the other man's, sheathed as well. A look of grief filled her face as she watched the man in the chair cry. The young man next to her wore a cloak similar to Robin's. The man was holding a tome and had a silver sword at his side. His face was filled with sorrow as he saw the ring in the man's hand. The woman with blonde hair had a small white lace bonnet on her head that matched her yellow dress. Her blue eyes had tears in them, streaming down her face. When they had come in, the sobbing man paid no attention. After a while, the blonde haired woman began to shout.

"Chrom! Snap out of it! Please! Emm, I, all your friends can't bear to see you like this anymore! Especially your own children!" The two blue haired next to the shouting woman ran to Chrom.

"Father! Please! Mother wouldn't want to see you sad!" The blue hair man next to her nodded.

"Lucina and Aunt Lissa are right! Remember what Tiki said? Mom could still be alive!" he reasoned. The child must have said something wrong because Chrom snapped his head up. His eyes, instead of just grief, was now filled with rage as well.

"What proof does Tiki have, Morgan?! What proof does that manakete have that she's still alive?!" Lissa, Lucina, and Morgan all gasped in shock as Chrom realized what he said. "No…I didn't mean it like that…"

"It is alright. I know of the grief and pain you are going through…" A voice ranged out behind them. Lissa jumped back in surprise as a young woman with bright green hair stepped in. Her luscious green hair was held in place with red ribbons that matched her ruby colored dress. A beige cloak covered her shoulder and matched with her similar colored boots. All five people, including Kamui, was entranced by her. Snapping back into reality. Chrom got off the chair he was sitting on and bowed his head to the newcomer.

"Lady Tiki…I mean no disrespect…It's just that, after searching for her everywhere, my wife's whereabouts are still unknown…I just got her back recently as well…" Chrom's voiced started to crack as he held back a sob. Lissa ran to him as Morgan and Lucina hugged their father. Tiki looked at him sadly. Suddenly, her eyes darted around the room before landing on the bookshelf Kamui was hiding behind. Beginning to panic, she was shocked to see the manakete smile at her slightly before returning to her somber expression.

"Although there is not much, I do have one thing that may give you hope…" Tiki spoke to them. The group looked at her, their eyes filled with anticipation.

"What did you find, Lady Tiki?" Lucina inquired. Tiki sighed before she spoke.

"After you gave me the Fire Emblem, my mother, Naga told this to me as I gifted her the ancient relic. She told me that she was still alive, along with the other man…My mother also told me that Owain, Inigo, and Severa are alive as well." The all gasped.

"W…W…Wait." Lissa stuttered out. "Are you saying, not only is my brother's wife is alive, but the other person that fell with her? And the kids?" When Tiki nodded, Lissa squealed. "Oh my…Forte's going to be so happy! In fact, all his friends are going to be happy! Especially his own daughter! And not to mention Inigo's and Severa's parents! Wait…I have to go tell Libra!" As Lissa ran out the door, Kamui began to ponder at what she said.

"These people never said their names…but why do I get the feeling I know them…?" As Lucina smiled, she suddenly sensed something and frowned. Putting her hand near the sheathed sword, she glared at the bookshelf.

"Who's behind there?!" Kamui heart froze. Before she could think of anything, the ground beneath her gave way and Kamui fell down screaming. When she opened her eyes again, Kamui noticed that the study room and all the people were gone. Groaning, the royal got up only to feel pain on the back of her head. Rubbing it, she saw a young woman with white hair tending to a pot over a small fire.

"You're awake?" The female asked with a smile. Kamui eyes widen as she realized who it was.

"Wait a minute…! You're Rinka!" The warrior nodded.

"I didn't mean to hit you and your friend Robin before. Sorry. I never thought that you three would be around. We're in the Fire Tribe village. Also, your friends are outside." Rinka pointed to the door behind her. Kamui, worried about her friends, stood up and walked outside the door Rinka pointed at. When she stepped out, the princess was met with the cold air from the falling snow. Blowing on her hands, she saw two people in the distance. As she got closer, she saw Robin reading a small book in a log while Lest was cutting some wood. Lest was the first to notice.

"Oh! Kamui. You're awake." Robin closed her book and stood up to greet the princess.

"I suppose Rinka told you what happened?" Robin growled out as she rubbed the back of her head.

"Come on Robin. Rinka said she was sorry!" Lest stated. The tactician glared at him.

"That still doesn't mean it didn't hurt! I still have a bump on my head and a splitting headache!" Kamui sweat dropped as Lest tried to calmed down a furious Robin.

"Geez. I said I was sorry." All three turned around to see Rinka walking towards them. Lest held back Robin as she started to walk to the warrior.

"Robin! This isn't a good time to pick a fight with someone!" Lest whispered. After some reluctance, Robin gave up and settled with glaring at the Fire Tribe warrior. When Rinka arrived, she nodded approvingly at the large pile of cut wood.

"I have to say, you're pretty good at collecting and cutting firewood. Thanks again for helping me. Plus you gave me those flowers that healed me." Rinka removed some of her bandages to show that the wound was gone. There wasn't even a scar. Lest laughed.

"It was nothing. After all, you took us in. I also managed to find some more medicinal plants!" Lest said. Rinka smiled becoming serious.

"I suppose I should tell you. I have handed you three over to the kingdom of Hoshido." Lest nodded as if he knew while Robin hissed at her, the tactician's view of the warrior becoming less…delightful. Kamui sighed and frowned.

"I see…you had no other choice." Kamui looked pleadingly at Rinka. "I have no doubt that I will be executed, but can you find some way to spare these two. They have done nothing wrong!" Rinka shook her head.

"No, you and your friends won't be killed because…" Rinka stopped when she heard footsteps. "Huh? He's already here…" Looking behind them, they saw Kaze, the ninja the group had fought against before. Kamui stared at him in surprise.

"Hey…you're…" Kaze smiled before he bowed, much to all of their surprise, excluding Rinka who also smiled.

"Princess Kamui, I'm glad to see you and your friends unharmed…" Kaze said. Robin raised an eyebrow and Lest stared blankly at Kaze. Kamui, confused beyond doubt, suddenly shouted, causing Robin and Lest to cover their ears.

"EH?!" Lest laughed nervously while Robin sighed. Kaze got up.

"Time to head out. I will lead you to the Hoshido Royal Castle." Although confused Kamui decided to follow him. Along the way, Lest whispered to Robin.

"Psstt…wanna bet the reason we're going to the royal castle?" Robin sighed.

"I don't know…maybe instead of being a Nohrian royal, Kamui's actually a Hoshido princess who was kidnapped by the evil king Garon to do his bidding. So we're going to meet with her older brother who's also the first prince and Kamui's long lost mother who is queen." Lest stared at her.

"Wow…that a pretty specified guess…" Robin shrugged at him.

"I was kidding…but feel free to guess yourself." Lest smiled.

"OK! I have a lot of theories actually! What if she's actually a spy who lost her memories…? Oh I know! What if…?" Lest continued to explain his wild guesses to Robin as they headed into the heart of the Hoshido Kingdom.

After some time…

"…and that's why she has red eyes!" Lest exclaimed. Robin, who had been listening to him all the way, stared at him.

"I'm actually impressed. To think that you managed to think of all those theories as to why we're going to the royal castle. I wonder what goes on in your head sometimes." Lest laughed while rubbing his head. Suddenly, his expression became serious.

"Robin…listen." The tactician looked into his eyes and determination. Taking a deep breath, Lest continued, "I know I said that you take your time, but I need to know. Is there any possibility that you'll return my feelings? I don't want to keep clinging on to this if it's a one sided love…" Robin, knowing she could no longer delay the answer, opened her mouth to answer when Rinka suddenly shouted.

"We're in the king's chambers!" Having been too focused on their conversation, the two had not realized that they were at the castle. Lest groaned in frustration as Robin sighed in relief. As they entered the room, they saw a golden throne in the middle. Standing in front of it was a young man with long, spiky brown hair. He wore red masked that exposed his face. The armor that the man wore was in the same shade of red as his mask. A white coat with gold trimmings blended with his armor. A kind smile came onto the man's face as the group drew closer. Robin couldn't help but think that the man's armor reminded her of something…but what? Suddenly Lest shouted the most horrifying and embarrassing name to the man.

"What is he? Lobster Lord?!" Robin faced palmed herself as Kamui tripped onto the floor in surprise. As Kaze helped her up, the ninja looked shocked and horrified.

Rinka shook her head, muttering "Idiot going to get himself killed…" over and over again while Robin smacked Lest behind the head, causing him to land face down on the floor. The insulted man looked very annoyed, his mouth spread into a thin line and an angry mark on his head. His hand drew near the handle of his sheathed sword. Robin whispered/hissed to Lest as he got up.

"He may look like a crustacean, but that doesn't mean you can say that out loud!" Lest looked confused.

"Huh? So he's not actually a Lobster Lord? Bummer…" Lest murmured. Robin smacked him down to the ground again. Kamui sighed before she walked up to the previously insulted man.

"My apologies…Lest can sometimes be…an airhead. Please forgive him…" The man sighed before smiling again.

"It is all right…" Kaze came forth and bowed to the man.

"Prince Ryoma…" Ryoma nodded and spoke to him.

"Thank you for your hard work. Please wait here." Kamui whispered to Rinka as Kaze got up.

"Ummm….who is he?" Kamui asked.

"That is the first prince of Hoshido…Ryoma." Rinka answered her. Lest and Robin heard her answer as well.

"Psst! Robin." Lest whispered to the tactician. "Do you think Kamui and Ryoma are related?" Robin merely shrugged her shoulders.

"Could be." She answered. "But then, that would mean my wild guess is coming true…" Suddenly, the heard Kamui whisper out something.

"I can't take this anymore. If it's an execution, they should just do it now…" Just after she said that, the group heard footsteps. Turning to the sound, they saw a woman with black hair walking towards them. Her hair was put into a ponytail with a golden ring. Her robes were in shades of gold, white, and blue. A small shield laid on her arm and a golden band around her head. The woman started to tear up when she saw Kamui.

"You've returned to us…It's really…It's really…" The woman whispered out. Kami looked at her, confused.

"Eh? What do you mean…?" Suddenly, the woman began to cry.

"Thank god…you're safe…! My daughter…Kamui!" The now crying woman ran to Kamui and hugged her tightly. Kamui, stunned, said the only words she could say in the situation.

"EH?! I'M YOU'RE DAUGHTER?! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" As Kamui struggled with the situation, Lest turned to Robin.

"All right…What do I owe you?"

Kamui is the daughter of that mysterious woman...who exactly is she? And what does that make Kamui? What was that dream Kamui saw? Does it have something to do with Robin's and Lest's past?...What will become of Lest and Robin now that they are aware of their feelings for one another? Until Next Time...

So, there hasn't been any new reviews lately, but I want to take the time to talk about what's coming up. I'm not sure if you, but this story is actually connected to my main one, The Three Worlds and the Heroes. So, there will be mentions of it in the near future. Also note that everything that is happening is actually influenced by that story, so certain things have changed. Anyways, I hoped you enjoy this update and I'm really sorry again about my unscheduled hiatus.

Until Next Time! R&R!
