Corrin was standing in a wasteland. It was calm too calm as their was no sound even as she moved.
"Where in the name of the gods am I?" She thought to herself.
As soon as she finished her though she saw a large plume of smoke coming from the north.
Her body then moved on it's own towards where the smoke was.
She kept moving towards the place at almost a run until she stopped and saw the body of a young man with blue hair and wearing the style of old fashioned Nohrian noble.
"What happened here?" She asked herself about to check the body to see if it was alive.
As she knelt down to check the body vanished.
"What the..." Before she could finish her body began to move on its own again.
As she was walking she noticed even more body. She tried to stop but her body wouldn't let her stop. Until she arrived to a village...no a kingdom set ablaze.
"Oh gods no!" She yelled out and began running around looking for survivors.
After running around for what seemed like hours she found herself in the middle of the town.
What she saw was a pile of bodies of men, women, soldiers, and even children.
"Oh my gods." She said in a frighten tone.
"It's glorious isn't it?!" A voice yelled out with a demonic tone.
Corrin began looking around. "Who's there? Show your self!" She yelled out.
After what seemed like hours a figure shrouded in darkness appeared on top of the pile and began to stare her down with the only color on it, it's blood red eyes.
"I ask again, is it not glorious?" He yelled out with a sick glee.
"No it's not!" She yelled and reached for her blade, but it was not their.
"Looking for this?" He asked pulling out the Yato. "Because I regret to inform you but..." He then began to channel black magic through his hand and crushed the blade. "...because it's broken."
Corrin was now afraid of the...thing in above her. "Who are you?"
The thing then chuckled and a chill ran down her. "I am the wings of dispar." As it said that a black mass began to form behind him. "I am the breath of ruin." The mass then took the form of a dragons head that looked like Grima's. "I AM THE FELL DRAGON..." The last bit of the sentence was blank and the dragon unleashed a stream of black flames upon her and engulfed the princess.
...
The next morning Corrin woke up screaming. She then looked around and noticed that she was in her room.
"What a strange nightmare." She said getting out of bed and got dressed.
...
Around the same time Robin was finished getting dressed.
"No nightmares last night Grima may have given up or he's preparing something much worse." He said walking out.
After getting his breakfast and heading towards the war room he saw Corrin with a look that Robin knew to well and he began walking up to her.
"Bad dreams." He said walking up to her.
Corrin then turned around and saw the tactician and put on a small smile. "How did you know?"
"I've seen it a lot." He said with a comforting tone. "What to talk about it?"
"No, not really." She said.
"I'm not going to pry but keeping something like that to your self puts more weight on your shoulders." He said.
"Well it's just a dream no need to worry about it." She said with a fake happiness.
"Alright then, but if you want to talk about it I'm free." He said.
"But won't that cut into you're work?" She asked with a tad bit of surprises.
"I always have time for the people I care about and my comrades." He said causing Corrin to blush.
"Well a-alright then, I-I'm going to go get some breakfast." She said and ran off towards the mess hall.
"What was that about?" Robin asked himself.
"Gods your thick!" A familiar voice.
Robin turned around and saw Severa clearly in a bad mood. He then looked around and saw that they were alone. "What do you mean, Sev?" He asked
"You can't go around and say stuff like that you idiot!" She yelled at her uncle.
"Why? Its is the truth though, it's how I helped the Shepherds." He said genuinely confused.
She then pinched the brim of her noise. "Look, Robin I know you like to help people and your doing this to be forgiven, but going around saying things like that may give people the wrong idea."
"Sev no offense but I have no idea what you're talking about and I have to go plan a route to the Rainbow Sage." He said and walked away.
"For one of the greatest tacticians in the world he has to be one of the dense men in the world." She said before walking to the mess.
...
After an hour the army was on the move to a town where the Rainbow Sage was rumored to live.
"So where should we start?" Corrin said looking around the town.
"Years of travel has thought me that the best place to get information is a bar, a store, or the elders." Robin said.
After some searching Corrin walked into a medical shop and meet a old man.
"Greetings travelers!" He said in a happy tone. "What can I do for you."
"We heard that a man known as the Rainbow Sage lives in this town and I would like to see him." She said.
"Hmm... That weapon you have... It's the Yato isn't it?" The old man asked.
"Yes it is. I'm kinda surprised you recognized it."
"Do you seek power?" He asked.
"No I want to ask him a question." She said.
"Ahh so knowledge you seek. Fascinating." He said with a smile. "Head up to Sevenfold Sanctuary on top of Mount Sagesse there is where you'll find him."
"Thank you for your help." Corrin said and gave a slight bow to the old man and left to find the others.
...
After gathering the army they began to hike up the mountain and let's say.
"Gods if that old man gave us the run around I swear I will..." Before Takumi could finish.
"We get it. Stop complaining!" Corrin yelled at her younger brother.
"Sorry." Takumi said taken back by that.
"No I'm sorry I had a rough night last night." Corrin apologized.
"We can take a break if you all want to." Robin said trying to keep the peace.
"No, we have to make it up there before nightfall." Corrin said
"Maybe we should take a break, if Xander was to be believed then once we make it to the top will have to complete a trial of strength." Camilla said.
"Really, care to explain?" Robin asked.
"Well if I remember correctly then we will have to fight against a army that is based off the memories of the strongest individuals we know." Camilla said.
"What?" Robin said a bit worried.
"Oh don't worry dear, if the individual is with you then you won't have to face them." She said with a smile.
"That's what I'm afraid of." Robin said under his breath.
...
After a hour of hiking the group had finally made their way to the top.
"So that's Sevenfold Sanctuary." Takumi said looking at the base.
"It must be, there can't possibly be two of these up here." Corrin said and turned around to the army. "Be ready for anything." She said and opened the door to the Sanctuary.
Upon entering the army saw an army of 26 men and women standing in front of a door.
"You must be tired after a long climb." The leader of the group said with a small hint of concern in its voice. "However if you wish to meet the Sage you must defeat us." He said and drawing a familiar blade.
"What how is this possible?" Robin yelled.
"That's what I want to know." Severa said drawing her blade.
"The Rainbow Sage has the power to scan your memories and create a trial to test you children." A voice said from behind them.
Turning around they noticed a young girl wearing the robes of a Nohrian Dark Mage and carrying a Thunder Tome.
"What? How do you know that. And who are you?!" Robin asked the girl.
"Calm yourself child and I will tell you." She said in a tone reflecting the tone of a scalding grandmother.
After calming down a little the girl then began to explain. "My name is Nyx and I am here for a way to end a curse." She said. "I know this because if you actually took the time to study this legend you would know that."
"Oh, well thank you and my name is Grima and this is Corrin." Robin said introducing him and Corrin.
"Wait a minute." Corrin said and began to scan the battle field and noticed that none of the illusions looked like any one she knew except for the man who appeared to be leading them. "But I don't recognize any of these people."
"That is because the Rainbow Sage scans all who enter this place." Nyx explained.
Corrin then looked around at the army and saw that the only two to be shaken by this army in front of them. Robin and Severa.
"Do you know them Grima?" Corrin asked.
Robin then sighed and looked over to Corrin with tears in his eyes. "They are the Shepherds. And before I was your tactician I was theirs."
"Oh." Corrin said.
"Looks like I must face my sins." Robin said slowly pulling out his tome. "Corrin me and you will head for the captain."
"You do know..." Before Corrin could finish Robin turned to Takumi and Camilla.
"Takumi I need you to try to take out the two Sky Knights and the Wyvern Rider don't let them get close if there are just a fraction of the strength I remember them to be then it won't take much to take you down." He said.
"Okay I can try." Takumi said.
"Camilla you take our riders and try to deal with the Calvary focus on the great knight."
"I'll deal with them." She said with confidence in her voice.
"Selena I know that you don't want to fight them but I need you and the rest of the group to deal with the ground units."
"Okay." Severa said with a depressed tone.
"Elise, Sakura can we count on you for support?"
"You got it." Elise said in her usual peppy tone.
"We'll do our best." Sakura said with some confidence in those words that Corrin couldn't help but smile at.
"Well shall we?" Robin asked turning to Corrin.
"Whenever you are." Corrin said.
"Well then to arm!" Robin yelled.
"I suppose I'll help seeing as we are both here for a reason." Nyx said.
"Thank you!" Corrin said before changing into the fray.
...,.,...
After cutting their way through the illusions of Robin's old comrades he and Corrin had made their way to the head illusion that appeared to be waiting for them with a divine looking blade drawn.
"If you truly wish to meet the Sage you mus make it past me first." The illusion said and changed at Corrin into a clash.
Corrin grunted and struggled to gain some footing before getting into a temporary position.
"Grima now!" She yelled as Robin fired a bolt of purple lightning at the illusions.
But it seemed to predict that and broke the clash and dogged out of the way and with blinding speed rushed toward Robin, who barley had enough time to draw the his blade to block.
"Corrin!" Robin yelled out.
"On it!" She yelled out and rushed towards the illusions aiming to impala it.
But like the last time it broke the clash with Robin and parred it and throw her into Robin forcing them to the ground.
"He's good." Corrin said getting up.
"Chrom has always been good with a blade." Robin said fallowing her lead.
"Okay do you have a plan?" Corrin asked getting back into her battle position.
"Yes though it pains me to bring it up." Robin said with sadness in his voice. "We should try to exploit his left leg."
"What why?" Corrin asked.
"There was a failed assassination attempt on him he survived and killed the assassin but he was left with a permanent limp that slowed him down." Robin explained.
"But what if the Rainbow Sage fixed it?" She asked.
"Well I guess we'll have to find out." Robin said beginning to charge magic through his hand. "As soon as I release this you head for his left side and keep putting on pressure until you get him off balance and deliver the final blow." He said then fired the magic near the illusion's feet causing it to lose balance.
Corrin with no time to lose the ran to it's left and like Robin said keep applying pressure until the illusion was wide open for a swift strike that ended its existence. As soon as it disappeared the remaining illusions did as well.
"Glad that over." Robin said wiping the sweat from his brow.
"You can say that again." Corrin said sheathing the Yato as she saw her siblings walk up to the two.
"So that's the door to the Rainbow Sage?" Takumi said panting. "Kinda expected it to be a bit more elaborate."
"You can say that again." Elise said.
"Does it really matter. Corrin darling can you please open the door?" Camilla asked.
"Don't have to tell me twice." Corrin said reaching for the nob.
"Just be careful." Sakura said watching Corrin turn the nob and walking in with the rest fallowing
...
After entering through the door and letting their eyes adjust to the light of the room Corrin Robin and the Royal Siblings noticed that they where in a medical shop with the old man sitting patiently.
"What." (Corrin)
"The." (Robin)
"Hell!" (Camilla and Takumi)
"Well it seems that you have passed the trial young dragon bloods." The old man said with a smile.
"Did we do something wrong where is the Rainbow Sage?" Corrin asked frankly.
"You're looking at him." The old man said before being engulfed by a flash of light and replacing him was a old wise looking dragon the size of a average human that almost looked like a snake.
"So that's what the he meant by 'go see the dragon" Robin said.
"Wait a minute you're the Rainbow Sage?!" Takumi yelled out.
"That's pretty cool!" Elise yelled out.
The dragon then chuckled at them. "Yes I am and also the creator of the Yato." He said with a kind smile. "Now then young dragonkin what is your question?"
"Oh yes, in all of the excitement I almost forgot." Corrin said regaining her composure. "I need to know how to stop this war and end the true threat?"
"Hand me your Yato then." The dragon said and Corrin agreed.
The dragon then breathed flames on the blade and it began to glow and handed it back to Corrin.
"I have released some of its hidden power." He said. "Now you must head towards the Bottomless Canyon with the other sacred treasures to fully awaken the Yato and put a end to this madness."
"Thank you kind sage." She said with a bow.
The dragon then looked up and said. "It seems that my time here has come to an end."
"What! Elise Sakura can you do something!" Corrin yelled.
"Corrin they can't do anything." Robin said.
"What!?"
"Listen to the Fell Blood young one for my time is up. I may be a dragon but we don't live forever." The sage said and Corrin just nodded her head.
The dragon then stared over at Robin giving him the look of a caring grandfather. "Fell Blood, as I scanned you mind I know of what you wish to do and all I can say is that to be truly forgive for your sins the first person who should forgive you is yourself." He said before he disappearing.
"Is that really what I should do?" Robin asked himself.
"You know I think that is what you should do Grima." Corrin said with kindness in her voice. "I mean someone with your kindness should be able to forgive himself because..." She said before giving him a smile with a slight blush. "I know that I would."
That caused Robin to blush and her sisters to let out a small giggle and Takumi face palming with a smile.
"Well we should get back to the others and tell them of our plans." Robin said with the blush still on his face.
"That would be a good idea." Corrin said also still blushing.

A:N I am so sorry for the delay I had testing and I'm graduating in a few days and oh god I've been so busy. I also got Hyrule Warriors Legends and I've been playing that. And I hope that this chapter was worth the wait because I believe that this is by far the best chapter. Also I took a bit of creative license with this one and I hope you enjoyed.
As always constructive criticism is wanted.
