Chapter 11: Tragic Start

A few hours ago before Kamui, Corrin and the others when to fight of the invisible soldiers Ylisse. New discussions where happening back in Hoshido. Most of it was about restoring the country to its original stat, before Ganglari's explosion, others were about notifying the country about Corrin, Kamui and Azura's new status and who they were now considered fugitives. One of the things that also concerned them was that the barrier the late Queen once put up was now broken, and now Nohrians could now easily get into their territory. But what concerned them the most at the moment was the amount of people injured, both during Ganglari's explosion and Nohr invasion attempt, there were so many that most of them would have to be transferred.

The meeting took place at in a certain of the castle, all members of the Hoshidan royal family were present and sitting a large table with their retainers standing next to them. And standing guard at the two doors were Kaze, Orochi, Emma and Yuzu. All four retainers now without a liege.

Those sitting at the table were discussing the matter of where would they be transferred to and who would go there. As they stated discussion a Hoshidan messenger appeared in front of Yukimura. Once he had delivered his message he made a bow in front of the others then left the room.

"What was that about, Ykimura?" Ryoma asked a few moment after the messenger had left.

"He wanted to let me know that everybody inhabiting the North of Hoshido have been notified of Azura, Corrin and Kamui's new status and that they should be captured on sight."

Ryoma made a pained nod. "I see. Thank you."

While Hinoka and Sakura shared the same sadness as their older brother, Takumi didn't really seem to care. Ryoma pushed the feeling away however and regained focus on what had to be done at the moment. He looked to some the advisers in the room. "Now, following what I was saying earlier has anyone figured out where we might be able to transfer the other wounded."

Around 50 seconds had gone by, when a female adviser spoke up. "What about Fort Jinja, milord? It has enough space to house quite a few of our wounded."

Before Ryoma could reply a male adviser spoke up as well. "However you are forgetting that that area still hasn't been notified about two of our princesses and one of our princes turning traitor." he said rather harshly to make sure the message got to the woman's head.

"That fort is strong enough to withstand and outer attack. And if we placed some of our best soldiers there as well, adding the amount of capable soldiers already at the location, then it world be harder for anyone to infiltrate the fort." The woman argued.

The man closed his eyes and looked at Yukimura. "Your thoughts on this, Yukimura."

"The idea sounds fine to me. However I'd like to go along in the event that the fort is compromised."

"Are you sure, Yukimura?" Ryoma asked.

The tactician nodded. "Yes. With danger all around us now, we need to make sure that all our soldiers are ready to fight. And with the strategies I can come up with I sure the fort will be safe."

"I understand. Now witch healers will we send to the fort?" Ryoma wondered.

"I-I'll go." Sakura said moments later.

"No, Sakura. It would be to dangerous to send you there." Ryoma said completely opposed to what his sister was saying.

"But t-this is something I c-can help with."

Ryoma was going to speak but someone else beat him to it. "Yeah. Don't worry, Lord Ryoma, I'll be there to protect, Lady Sakura the whole time we're there." one of Sakura's retainers, Hana, said her voice full of confidence. Hana had light brown hair and yes. She was a samurai and wore a white band of cloth, a pink kimono, a white chest plate, arm guard and greaves as well as dark blue sorts underneath her kimono and sandals.

"And I'll be there as well. with me there everything will go flawlessly." a male pegasus knight and Sakura's other retainer, Subaki, added. Subaki was a sky knight with dark red hair tied and dark red eyes. He wore a normal male sky knight uniform.

"I know how capable the two of you are. But that two of you alone won't be enough."

"Lord Ryoma if I may?"

"Yes Yukimura."

"What if we were also send Kaze, Emma and Yuzu to the fort? The were the retainers of the royal that betrayed us, maybe this could be a chance for them to prove they are on our side."

Ryoma nodded. "Very well." he looked at the man standing next to him. "Saizo I want you to accompany them as well." he looked at the purple hared woman on the opposite side of Suzukaze's side. "And you as well, Orochi."

The woman nodded without arguing.

"All right. I'll send a messenger to Fort Jinja about the temporary healing facility that will be there and alert some of the other healers as well. All of those here and are going to the fort get ready, you'll be leaving once word comes back to us."

After every one gave their consent he dismissed the meeting. The first ones to exist were the adviser, followed by the members royal family and their retainers the last to leave were Emma, Yuzu. As they existed the room it was easy to see that Emma was upset. Yuzu placed a hand on her shoulder.

Yuzu and Emma became Azura's retainers about three years after she was brought to Hoshido, in that time Azura was eleven and Yuzu and Emma were both ten. Azura wasn't very thrilled at first, but she slowly excepted them more as friends then as retainers, but despite that she still enjoyed spending time to herself. When Azura vanish off somewhere she was always with her retainers and like her liege Emma didn't like the idea of fighting very much, while Yuzu train a lot to be able to keep Azura safe. Even now as adults Emma was still rather inexperienced and still a bit ignorant. and Yuzu was more fighting experience and was more serious in everything she did.

Yuzu was a samurai with long dark colored purple hair tied at the back, and had a teal blue rope used as a head wrap with two golden bells on each side, and purple eyes. She wore a normal samurai outfit that was almost completely white. her chest plate, greaves and sleeve guard was a light gold. Her stockings, short and arm warmers were black.

Emma was a sky knight with wry light brown hair tied into a ponytail with a bow scrunchie and had yellow eyes. She wore a teal and white colored version of the sky knight outfit.

"Don't worry, Emma, I sure Lady Azura had a reason for leaving." the samurai said though it did little to comfort her.

"I guess, but she also hasn't been spending much time around us, ever since Kamui came back to Hoshido."

"Yeah. That is strange. She refused to answer any of our questions back at the plains either. She just told us keep fighting and not to worry about her and then took off."

"Do you think we'll ever see her again?"

"Only time will tell. I just hopping it won't be as enemies."

"Yeah."

The two got to the hall that lead to their sleeping area and went to prepare to their departure to Fort Jinja. When preparations were done all of them had to wait until Ryoma gave the okay to leave. It took about two hours for the messenger sky knight to get back with the news and were able to leave. All determined to get there As soon as possible.

While the Hoshidans made their the fort, Kamui and the others weren't so lucky, night had fallen upon them and they were in an open field with nowhere to hide. With that in mind they returned to the astral plains for the night. Once back in the astral plains Lilith was there to greet them. "Hey! You're finally back!"

"Hey, Lilith. Did you miss us?"

"Well, yeah."

Kamui chuckled. "Nice to see that we're wanted."

"Lord Kamui. If I may asked what is that thing that you are talking to?" Gunter asked narrowing his eyes at the little dragon.

"Oh, right! You've never seen me like this before have you Gunter?"

"And I would also like to as to how it knows my name." The old knight added.

"This is Lilith's real form, Gunter."

"Milord, that is impossible."

"Well it is true, Old man. All of us believe it so you should as well."

"Always a pleasure to hear your comments, Boy."

Jakob opened his mouth but wasn't able to say anything. "Both of you knock it off!" The dragon princess exclaimed. Jakob shut his mouth and made a small nod, and Gunter didn't say a word.

While Corrin was busy with the two men, Kamui took a moment to look around. "Hey, Lilith is there any other food sources save for the peach tree?"

The astral dragon happily nodded. "Mm hmm." she shifted her body in the direction of a small of the river. "There are fish living in the river."

"Great. Hmm..." He looked over to Gunter and Jakob. When the prince's eyes landed on them they knew that they would have to perform a task together. "Gunter, Jakob why don't the two of you go catch the fish?" he turned to Felicia, who was at his side, and lean to whisper something in her ear. "Go along with them so they don't kill each other." he felt the maid make a small nod before pulling away. He looked at his sister and Azura. "Azura, Corrin do you mind helping me gather some peaches?"

"Sure." Corrin replied, while Azura simply nodded.

"And, while you're doing all of that, I'll build a mess hall and a new living space." Lilith said, though none of the other heard her.

While the astral dragon stated summoning, the other headed off in their own directions. Once all of the outlaws returned, all we're shock to see a mess hall equipped with kitchen utensils, a stove and running water. Though surprised no one complained and allowed Jakob to prep their meal. It didn't take very long for all six of them to finish eating and as such it was rather quite during that time. They did talk for a while after they had finish, but even then they all decided that it was best for all them to get some rest after the hectic day they've had.

Gunter, Jakob, Kamui and Corrin had to first strip off their armor before going to bed, all four of them were extremely tired and collapsed on their bed the moment they were rid if the heavy steal. Sleep came easily to Gunter, Jakob and Felicia, but it wasn't the same way with the royals.

It had been about half an hour since they retreated to their quarters and Corrin was laying in bed, lost in the events of the day. She closed her eyes for and placed an arm above her eyes.

"It's been almost half a year since I last saw them... and when I do..." she cringed her teeth. "I betrayed them... even after all they've done form me... Even now I still remember what it was like when Kamui and I were first brought to Nohr. I'm glad that Kamui doesn't remember it... the pain of being taken away... But even if he can forget... I can't..." she shock her head, turned to her side and fell asleep a few minutes later.

"You poor things." Corrin heard the old king called, and turned around along with Kamui were both shaking like leaves in the wind, eyes wide; they didn't know what would happen them. The only think on their faces were fear as they watched a scary old man looking down at them with a smile.

Both of them became even more terrified when he started taking steps towards them and heard his old, gruff voice; they could only wondered why their father wasn't doing anything to stop him. Both still didn't know the meaning of the word 'dead'. Corrin could also hear her brother's heavy breathing as the man came closer. "Orphaned at such…a tender young age."

The old king grabbed the little boy first; grabbing him by the back of his kimono and bring him up to eye level. He was so afraid that not a single word would ever leave his lips. Kamui just looked at him with wide-eyes; his body limp. Garon scoffed at him and smiled then looked back at the boy's twin. He leaned down to grab Corrin; the same way he did Kamui. The Hoshidan princess was as terrified as her brother, but unlike her brother, she made the attempt to call my father for help. "Papa... Papa!" She cried out desperately, looking back at him, but the Hoshidan King would even make a sound.

They young girl was surprised that Sumeragi did even look at her. She turned back to the old man when she heard him let out a low chuckle. "Your father won't ever wake up." he proceeded to grab the back of my kimono. "You two are my children now." he laughed again, before dragging them off.

He walked back to the other end of the alley and made his way to a carriage. He climbed into the carriage and threw both of us to one of the sides. Kamui cried in pain; as his back had hit one of the walls of the transportation along with he's weight of his sister landing on him. The man just looked at them with a smirk as he sat down. And neither of them wanted to say a word to him. But before the carriage left Corrin could have sworn that she heard Ryoma call out for them. It may have been her imagination, but even so she struggled to her feet and climbed to the window of the carriage and yelled as loud as she possible could. "Ryoooma! Heeelp!"

As soon as she was done yelling she could fell someone grab on to the back of her neck and lift her up into the air. King Garon brought her to eye level and looked at her angrily. He placed his other hand on my mouth to make sure I couldn't scream again. "Don't ever do that again." His hand on my mouth muffled my whimpering.

He removed the hand that covered her mouth, Corrin felt him tighten his grip around her neck; she closed her eyes and placed her hand on his wrist and griped it in a weak attempt to get him to let go. Corrin opened her eyes again when she heard Kamui scream. "Hands of my sister!" the boy rammed into his leg and as a result he let go of me. Corrin fell to the ground and coughed a bit and then tried to regain her breath.

As the young girl was trying to do that, she heard Kamui yelp. Looking at him she saw the the man grabbed the back of his kimono and was turning him around to get a better view of his sides. "A strong willed this one." he smirked and twisted him again to see his face. "You'll make a strong soldier indeed." he dropped him to the ground next to Corrin a second later. "Now both of you sit down. And if you attempt to scream again. I'll make sure your friends find you, but I will be in several pieces. Understand?" Both twins nodded.

It took about seven day to get to Castle Krakenburg and during the whole way there my brother and I ate very little as we hadn't the faint clue of what they were eating; we made sure that we were always together by holding our hand of making eye contact with one another; and we never talked to both the Nohrians and very little to each other. I was also hard to find sleep during that time. When we are able to get out and look around close to nothing was alive and we also noticed that the sun never showed itself here.

When we finally got there... It was like looking at a huge coliseum built over a graveyard. The time I had spent trying to calm myself was for nothing. This looked nothing like home. And after a while of just standing there and refusing to move, the man that took us away grabbed us again, carrying us in. He walked into what I thought was a coliseum, but it turned out just to be a wall serenading what looked like a spear connected with a few bridges. And by the way the man was holding me, I was able to see the bottom and it seemed to be water.

The inside wasn't as terrifying at lest. But it was still rather dark; and having lived in a place full of sunlight this was something that my eyes were going to have to adjust to. A lot of the people he passed by looked at us with dark eyes. A young man caught Corrin eye though. He looked around Ryoma's age, but was much skinnier, and had blonde hair. He was wearing a white shirt and a grey vest and shorts. He was the only person not to look at us so darkly, he looked rather sorry for us.

When Garon finally stopped he shoved the siblings in a room, looked the door and left.

Though they were still scared they finally gave each other some space. The room he had left them in was small. It had a little table against a side of the room and a bed on the opposite end of the table. The room also had a few small wooden cubs that were laying on a oval shaped rug, where we both sat down.

For the first few hours brother and sister spent there was without company -other that one of the maids that came by to give them a meal. They didn't eat however, since they didn't know what was on the plat, so they just left on the table, where the woman had placed it. The room had one window, but even with that there was very little light coming from the outside and we had no light other than form the small crevices in the door.

After a while, when Corrin thought no one was around the hall anymore, She asked her brother about something. "K-Kamui?" She called out, her voice rusty after no having used it for a week.

"Yes?" he replied his voice rusted as well.

She bit her lip , hesitated to ask her question that had been bugging her for a while, "A-are you mad at me for getting you into all of this?" she finally asked, wanting to hear his answer.

"I was at first... but I'm glad I didn't let you go alone." he manage to show me a little smile. " I wouldn't want you to be alone in this place after all."

She was relieved to hear his answer, so she threw her arms around him, effectively knocking both to the ground, and gave him loving squeeze. "You're so sweet..." she could hear him giggle when she said those words, he was still the same boy who could cheer she up, even in dark times.

Both children were starting to have fun and act like themselves again, when they heard the door nob turn and both quickly became quiet. Corrin recognized the person who opened the door, he was the same boy that caught her attention while ago.

He was a little confused as to why Corrin was on Kamui's stomach, but his expression changed quickly and he shoot them a gentle, friendly smile. "I see, you two have settled in." Corrin got off of kamui and looked at the new person, and noticed that he was holding some cloths between his arm and had a candle in his hand.

He walked over to the table to put down the candle and noticed that two plates that hadn't been touched. "It's already past noon. And the two of you haven't even touched your food." he looked at the twins. "What's wrong? Not hungry?" Neither Corrin or Kamui replied. "Its all right you can tall to me." he reassured a little while after we didn't respond.

Both children stayed silent.

"Can you at least tell names?" he asked.

Corrin didn't answer, but her twin did. "I'm Kamui."

Since Kamui answered the little girl figured that I should as well. "And I'm Corrin."

"It's nice to meet you both. My name is Alexander. But most people call me Xander." after presenting himself, he handed us the cloths that he was holding. We both hesitantly accepted them. "The two of you should change and then eat." he looked at Kamui. "Kamui? Right?" the boy nodded in response. "Why don't you come with me for a moment, so we can let your sister change in private."

"You won't separate us will you?" Kamui asked.

Xander let out a chuckle. "No, I'll bring you back as soon as you're done. Unless you want to change in front of Corrin."

Kamui huffed and scowled at him slightly. "No, why!" he quickly got to his feet and ran over to Xander, cloths in hand.

A few moments after they left Corrin changed into her new cloths. The garb that Xander had given her was a black dress that went down blow her knees. She found it strange to be wearing a dress, since she had never worn one before. And a few minutes later Corrin heard a knock on the door and she figured that it was Kamui and Xander, so she allowed them to come back inside. Kamui was wearing a similar outfit as Xander's. And he didn't look to happy about his new cloths.

And with the upset expression on his face Corrin couldn't help, but make fun of him. She covered my mouth and giggled. "Aww... You look so cute!"

He growled at her a little. "Be quiet!"

"Come on don't fight." Xander said closing the door behind him. "Go start eating," he made his way to Kamui and place an hand on his head, he quickly withdrew it second later at how oily the boy's hair was. "and I'll see if I can get someone to bath you two afterwords." he added wiping his hand on his vest.

Both children walked to the table where their food was and looked at it strangely. "What is that?" Corrin asked.

"It's a chicken leg with a side of mash potatoes and a small salad." Xander replied.

"It looks weird." Kamui said frowning at the plate.

"I suppose it would. You never eaten something like this before in Hoshido have you?" Both shock their head at the older boy's question. Xander chuckled. "Don't worry it's doesn't taste bad at all. I promise. Besides you both could use the nutrition. You both look like you haven't eaten in days."

"Okay..." Both replied, then sat down at opposite ends of the table. To them even the utensils looked strange, they were able to figure out how to use them -with Xander's help of course. At first brother and sister simply took nibbles out of their food, however once they were able to get a good taste they devoured all of their food.

"I'm glad to see you like our food." Xander chuckled as he spoke, from the bed. He then got up and walked to the door. He looked back at the two children, when his hand was on the door nob. "I'll be back in a few minutes."

And he didn't lie. He was back in a matter of minutes with a maid. "Are these the children you spoke of, prince Xander?" the maid asked looking at Corrin and Kamui. The title surprised the children.

"Yes. I need you both to give them a bath." The blonde affirmed. "Corrin do you want to go first?"

"O-Okay." she replied hesitantly and walked to the maid.

About 30 minutes later they both came back in the room, with Corrin hair was wrapped in a towel above her head. Kamui who was sitting on the bed next to Xander who had a book in hand, left with the woman seconds later. Corrin took her brother's place next to the prince and once her brother was gone, asked. "Are you really a prince Xander?"

Though a little surprise of the question the prince replied politely and truthfully. "Yes. I'm the oldest of my siblings."

"How many brother and sister do you have?"

"I have a little brother and two little sisters."

"Hey, Xander?" Corrin called placing her hands on Xander's leg.

"Mm?"

"Why are you being so nice to me and Kamui? The scary man that put us here was so mean."

He gave the girl a little smile and place a hand on the little girl's head. "That 'mean man' is actually my father and he plans to adopt you and your brother into our family."

"What's 'adopt'?"

"It's when somebody brings a child that's not their into their own family."

"So we're never going back home?" the child asked her curious nature fading.

"I won't lie. My father isn't a very kind person, so I don't think he'll bring you back."

Corrin expression dropped even more than it already has.

"It's alright," the prince started placing a hand on the girl's back. "as long as I'm here I won't let him hurt you or Kamui. After all if Father does intend to adopt you then then that will make you my little sister."

"Promise?" She asked holding up her little finger to Xander.

"I promise." the prince replied wrapping his own finger around the little girl's.

After the release each other's fingers, the Nohrian prince read the book in his hands to Corrin the same way he did to Kamui a few minutes ago. And about thirty minutes later Corrin's hair was no longer wrapped with a towel , and the door opened to reveal Kamui in his new cloths and a very wet and unhappy maid. Corrin covered her mouth to laugh though she wasn't very good at hiding it since the maid gave her a nasty glare for a few seconds. "Will this be all, prince Alexander?" she asked with obvious irritation edged into her voice.

"Yes. Thank you." Xander took a second to look at Kamui who was now running towards him. "I hope he wasn't too much trouble."

Turning to the little boy, the made put on a forced smile. "Oh, not at all." Kamui shot his tongue at her as she exited the room.

"I hope you won't do that every time we try to bath you, Kamui."

"I make no promises."

Xander tilted his head and sighed an murmured "You're going to be trouble alright." lifted his head and got to his feet. "Come on you two, there are a few people I want you to meet."

"Huh?" Both children said in a little confusion. but after looking at each other they both hopped of their bed and followed the older boy. Xander had told them that they where going to meet a few people in a room in the castle, however that plan was no longer possible when a little girl with blonde hair ran up to the three with a huge grin on her face.

"Big Brother!" she beamed - not noticing the twins-, however the girl's enthusiasm scared the twins quite a bit. They had never seen a young girl with such a high energy.

"Elise, I thought I told you to wait in the-"

"I know, but I'm existed!" Elise finally looked to Xander's right and saw the little boy. Her smile grew even bigger as she bounced in front of him, making Kamui flinch. "Hi there, I'm Elise it nice to meet you."

"I-I'm Kamui." He replied a little nervous. He and Corrin were so focused on the little girl that they didn't even notice a little blonde boy popping up behind them.

"So, this is what a Hoshidan looks like? White hair and red eyes?" he glared at Corrin moving his head to examine her closely

"Huh? Eu... Hi... um..."

"I'm Leonel. You can call me Leo."

"Okay. Hi, Leo."

The two were once again focused on the person in front of them that they didn't notice a purple haired girl creep up behind Kamui. She wrap her arms behind the little boy's waist and started to squeeze like a snake. Kamui let out a loud yelp at the sudden contact and he was only more freaked out when she started rub her cheek against Kamui's -who let out a sound of repulsiveness-. "Aww, well aren't you cute."

Unlike his three half-siblings Xander was getting slightly annoyed. "Camilla, Leo, Elise leave them be." All three Nohrian royals to a few seconds to look at their older brother, giving the twins a perfect opportunity to run and cower behind Xander.

"For being form the country of our greats enemies, they aren't very brave."

"They aren't soldiers Leo. But from this day fort they are Nohrian and apart of our family, so I expect you to respect your new older brother and sister."

"Yeah, Fine." Leo replied.

"Good." Xander turned to the children attached to his vest behind him. "Are you two okay?" both nodded. "Don't worry their your new siblings."

Both siblings poked their heads form behind Xander, until the finally came out of hiding. Once that happened the twins where greeted in a more normal way.

For Corrin the rest of her dream was nothing more than quick flash back form her living Nohr for the first time, to Shade's death, to when she reunited with her birth family and then her twin, and then finally ending when she came face to face with the family that raised her. And that's when she jolted awake.

She sat up in bed for a moment to calm herself down then got on her knees to grab the glass of water that she had left on the drawer at the end of her bed. She didn't go back to sleep after finishing her water however instead she just lied awake and thought about nothing more than the families she loved and abandoned, until sleep over took her once again.

That night sleep didn't come easily not just to Corrin, but Kamui as well. Though his sleep started of peaceful it didn't last forever. Not long after going to sleep Kamui found himself tossing and turning being haunted from the events of the day.

"All right, everyone." Hinoka cried cheerfully quickly getting her siblings attentions. "The ceremony is starting. Let's head to the plaza!"

Kamui and his siblings made it to the plaza were people and guards were gathered around the queen, the was also a large statue of a large white dragon curled up with its head and wings visible the was also another statue of a serpent dragon on the far back of the north-west of the plaza, once there Hinoka brought Kamui to the center a little distance to were Mikoto was they were in front of the large dragon statue, and to a place in the crowed with her other siblings who weren't too far away form the second statue.

Mikoto took a look at the crowd and at her children before speaking. "Thank you all for coming." She started to look around a few moment after she started talking, having her back turned to Kamui. "There have been a lot of rumors over the past few days, and for all of you gather here today I want all of you to know that they are false." She turned to face her son and smiled. "Today we welcome Hoshido's lost prince, Kamui, back home." she took a step closer to the young man.

As she continued to speak a mysterious man walked into the west side of the crowd wearing a midnight blue clock that had a ragged look to it, he had the clock's hood over his head and very loose white badges around him. The man's face wan't visible and most of the people next to his took steps back. Ryoma and Corrin were the first out of the smiling to notice, but didn't do anything right away. The man drew his left hand out revealing his hand that was appearing and disappearing and wavering as well. When he tensed his hand it emitted a red air.

Kamui's sword, Ganglari, reacted to the red emanation emitting that same red glow and an eye appeared on the sword's rain-guard. Kamui was still looking at his radiant face, until he noticed Ganglari's strange activity and his eyes started to bug out slightly and he moved his hands back slightly.

Mikoto still wan't aware however, and only noticed it when the sword came flying out of its sheath and into the hands of the hooded man. The man caught the sword's grip with his left hand, swung it once to his side, brought it up into the air placed his other hand on the hilt and dropped the word into the ground with as much force as he could, as a result it created a dark sphere of energy that expanded at an alarmingly quick pasted, blowing away everything and everyone in its path. every one in the plaza was killed. The only survivors in the plaza were the members of the Hoshidan royal family. The siblings in the crowd took cover behind the serpent dragon statue it was destroyed, but it did protect them form the main impact, saving their lives and amazingly the bast didn't do damage to Kamui or the queen. But the explosion didn't stop at the plaza and destroyed the entire town.

The sword wasn't done doing it's damage after it destroyed the town however, Ganglari was contained in it's own little sphere that exploded and turned into countless shattered pieces, the small explosion cased the tiles around the hooded man to blow away and the shattered pieces to fly right a Kamui at a fast rate. The first few shards missed Kamui,but the few ones were going straight for him. Kamui started to place his arm in front of his body, but it was for nothing when Mikoto stepped in front of him with her arms outstretched. Protecting Kamui caused the shards to pierce threw his mother's back.

Mikoto gasped at the sharp pain that truck her back and collapsed into Kamui's arms. Kamui looked at the queen unblinking and his felt feeble, so when his mother fell into his arms, he fell to his knees.

"You were not hurt?" she asked breathing heavily. "Tell me you're okay."

"I'm fine…" he replied his sight fixed on Mikoto

Mikoto was able to produce one last smile. "I'm so glad…" were that last words she said, before dying in her son's shaking arms.

Kamui continued to shake and started to sob as Mikoto laid in his arms "Mother!" he cried out settling her on the ground.

"Mother… Mother!" she tried to run over to Minot but was stopped by Ryoma.

The swordsman drew his Katana, Raijinto, and pointed it to the mysterious hooded man. "You there!" He cried, then rushed forward to slash the hooded man only to have him disappear into thin air, when his sword made contact. "Show yourself!"

Kamui could feel the rage, he had build up inside him as his body continued to tremble. When he looked at his shaking hand it started to emit a blackish-red energy, he started to clench them and brought his arm crossed like and X to his face as the energy continued to build. He was giving into his rage.

Corrin knew what was going to happen. "Oh no."

"What's going on Corrin?" Takumi demanded looking at an enraged Kamui.

Corrin didn't have time to reply, because Kamui let out a loud screeching sound as he brought his arms to the side outstretched and the energy around him built up all around him.

"Get down!" Corrin ordered the rest of her siblings, as Kamui arms turned into that of a dragon. After the transformation the energy around Kamui dispersed causing everything around him to blow away, Kamui then stood on his his legs and the out a loud roar.

Kamui shoot up in his bed, heavily panting and sweating profusely. his bed sheets were damp with sweat, his pillow was tossed to the ground and the blanket he was using was dangled beneath his feet.

After calming down slightly he and placed to fingers on the bridge of his nose. "Another dream..." He shook his head, untangled the blanket form his feet and walked outside. He made his way to the mess hall. He didn't notice the presence the was outside as well. The person watched Kamui for a while but didn't him.

Once in the hall he made his way to the kitchen and pulled a glass form the cupboard. Still being haunted by his dream, he accidentally stubbed hies toe against a counter and droop the glass in his hand.

Kamui grimaced at the glass shattered into shards. "Oh, no! Ugh!" He leaned down and started picking up the larger pieces of glass.

The presence outside was Azura as she came running into the kitchen. "Kamui? Are you okay? What's going on?" the songstress was bare foot and ignored that and the sound she had just heard. She sopped once she saw the dragon prince.

Kamui looked up to see Azura, stood up and placed the pieces of shard on the counter. There were still more pieces on the ground though. "I'm fine! I was getting some water, and I dropped the glass. Be careful! There are broken shards everywhere!"

Azura looked down to see the multiple pieces of glass. Carefully, she made her way to kamui, "What are you doing up at this hour?" she asked eyes on the ground. She let out a slight yelp when she saw Kamui's face. "You look like you've seen a ghost!"

"I-I'm all right. Really. It was just a bad dream."

Azura fingers her hand across Kamui's forehead and quickly found her finger tips wet with his sweat, upon removing contact. "Goodness! You must have been thrashing about. You're dripping sweat! Poor thing." She carefully made her way to the cupboard to pull out a glass, she then made her way to the tap of the sink to let water flow into the glass, once full she made her way back to Kamui. "Here, have a fresh glass of water."

The white haired man accepted the glass from her and wasted no time drinking the whole thing down. he let out a breath of satisfaction one he was done. "Thank you, Azura."

"Did you want to talk about it?" she asked then quickly added, "Your nightmare, I mean..." so that Kamui wouldn't get confused.

Kamui shock his head no -eyes closed- and waved his hand dismissing the question. "Nah. It's no big deal."

Azura narrowed her eyes slightly. "It doesn't seem like it. You look as though you're decision to join neither kingdom is still troubling you."

"Um, well... yes, partly anyways... Yes I have made the decision to let both of may families go, at Corrin's excepting... but I having a nightmare about the all Hoshidans that died today because of me."He looked down and grid his teeth. He stated to shake a little and clench his fists as well. "A nightmare of the Hoshidans I've killed!"

Azura took the glass out of the prince's hand, in the event that he might accidentally break it and hurt himself, and placed it on the counter. She then wrapped her arms around the frightened man and pulled him against her. "Kamui, calm. You knew this path wouldn't be easy when you chose it, right?"

Kamui blushed fiercely at the sudden contact. "Y-Yes, that's true." he stammered.

"If you believe this path leads to peace, then you have to keep walking down that road." Azura said firmly and removed herself from him.

Kamui forced a smile. "I wish I could be as strong as you are, Azura."

"What do you mean?"

"You choosing to come with me couldn't have been easy either. If you had your way you'd probably be in Hoshido right now instead of being branded a traitor with me."

"No Kamui. I choose to say with you because I believe in you. For longer then you know."

"Oh? Since when?"

"I've trusted you ever since the day we met. I trust you with all my heart Kamui. Don't ever think otherwise."

Kamui smiled again, but this time it was not forced, but out of thanks. "Thank you, Azura. You really know how to make a guy fell better. And you're right. I can't give up just because it's hard. Thanks, Azura."

He was about to walk back to his quarters when he felt Azura grab his wrist. "You're welcome, but don't forget there are still pieces of broken glass everywhere."

"Thanks for reminding me."

"Come on, I'll help you clean up your mess so we can both go back to bed."

They started picking up the pieces when something cross Kamui's mind. "Hey, Azura?"

"Yes?"

So focused on what he was doing Kamui did not bothering to even look at the young woman Kamui asked, "What were you doing up so late?"

"I couldn't sleep. So I went outside to walk and think."

"About what?" he asked still fixated on piking up the shards.

"A place that cannot be spoken of here. And Kamui?"

"Yeah?"

"H-How much of your memories have you regained." she asked hesitantly.

He lifted his head to look at the songstress, she didn't look back, focused on picking up the shards of glass herself. "Just a bit of my time in Hoshido before I was taken. Why?"

"No reason. I was just wondering." she stood up to place the shards in her hand into the broken glass. She started to make her way out of the kitchen but paused and turned her head. "Goodnight, Kamui."

Kamui put the shards he had collected into the broken glass as well. "Goodnight. Azura." After putting the glass in the trash he went back to his quarters. Luckily he didn't have the nightmare of he previously had, but rather a memory from back in Nohr -one that he had forgotten.

He was about eight-years-old and running down the hall trying to get away for a female voice the sounded like it belonged to Elise when she was younger. As he ran he turned his head back to see if his sister was still on his trail, unfortunately he did notice the young girl that had just stepped out of her room and slammed right into her.

After rubbing his head slightly, he looked at the girl apologetically. "Sorry, for bumping into you like that." he said getting to his feet and offered his hand to the blue haired girl.

The girl took Kamui's hand and let him pull her up. She sighed and said. "Just be more careful next time."

He gave her a sheepish smile and scratched the back of his head. "Right. Sorry again... Um..." Kamui narrowed his eyes to the little girl. he had seen around the castle a few time, but had never learned her name.

"Azura." She replied a moment after Kamui had started examining her face. She probably felt uncomfortable about it.

"Azura? Well sorry again."

"It's okay." She repeated, then asked. "But why where you running?"

Before she could get an answer she heard a little girl calling loudly 'Big Brooootheeeeer!'

Kamui turned his head back quickly, "That's why." he then back to the hallway witch was a dead end and that he had nowhere to hide. "Oh. Great." he started to get nervous about getting caught when he felt Azura drag him into the room that she just came from.

She let him go inside the room and closed the door behind her. They stay quiet for a moment until they hear the little girl chasing her brother say in disappointment. 'Aw... not here either...' and run of screaming. 'Big Brother! Where are you?!'

Once Kamui was sure she was gone he let out a sigh of relief, slumping against one of the walls. "Thanks, for your help, Azura..."

"You're welcome. But why are you hiding form your little sister?"

She crossed his arms and pouted slightly. "She wants me to play dolls and dress up with her."

"So, what's the problem?"

"I'am a boy." he said firmly, then went back to pouting. "Besides she never asks my other brothers to play games like that with her. And my twin sister would only laugh at me..."

"Well I think you're overreacting."

Kamui glared at Azura and unintentionally raised his voice, to where it almost sounded like a scream. "I am not!" three seconds after the words left his mouth he quickly placed his hands on it afraid that Elise was probably near by and might have heard him. Luckly for him she was no where near the area.

Azura only let out a soft laugh at her companion. "Whatever you say..."

The prince crosed his arms and turned away from the girl. "Humph."

"You never told me your name, by the way."

"My name's Kamui." he said a little coldly and a little quickly, not looking at the girl.

Azura had never heard such a name much less how to repeat it. "Kam-wee?" she tried, only to get a little frown form the boy.

"No. It's Ka-moo-ee."

The girl nodded and tried again. "Ka-moo-ee?"

"Yeah. My name's Kamui." he uncrossed his arms as he repeated. "So what are you doing by yourself? Don't you have any friends to play with?"Azura sadly shook her no.

"I don't have any friends either." he looked down for a moment remembering that he did have someone to play with before. "I did use to have one, but they told me he wasn't allowed to play with me anymore and Father forbids me from going outside." Azura's mouth as shaped into a small o as she looked at the boy feeling sorry for him.

"Sooo... since we both don't have friends... Wanna be my friend?" he asked out of the blue.

Azura was a little taken aback. "Huh!? B-But we just met!"

"So, what? A friend is just someone you haven't met yet."

"I guess..." she mumbled. How could someone be so trusting?

"So is that a 'yes'?"

"Yes. I guess it is."

"Awesome! It's gonna be great talking to someone that isn't a sibling!" he cried happily.

The young songstress couldn't help, but smile at Kamui's playful and joyous nature. "You get excited easily don't you?"

Kamui let out a playful laugh.

Not long after the short dream another one occurred.

Kamui was now around ten years old and walking around the castle's garden - the only place in the hole castle that had a good amount of plant life and sunlight- after wondering around for a little he was stopped in his tracks by someone singing. Mesmerized by the song the young boy walked to the source of it. Moments later he saw Azura singing by herself, Kamui continued to listen for a while then made the decision to approach the young songstress. Azura must have heard him coming, since she stopped singing after he taken a few steps, she turned around and frowned at him slightly.

Kamui made his way to her nonetheless and smiled at her. "You really have a beautiful singing voice, Azura."

"Thank you, Kamui." she took a moment to look behind the boy and saw no one behind him. "Why are you on your own? You normally have guards all around you."

he walked to her and replied, "I ran away from them. They never gave me a moment to myself." without a care in the world.

"Won't you get in trouble if they find you here?"

"Maybe, but I don't care it's better than staying inside all day. Besides I haven't seen you in days. And even when I do see you around you were always looked sad. Did something happen?"

Azura bit her lip. "Yes. But it's nothing you should worry about..."

"You sure?"

Azura nodded.

"Okay. So what was that song you were singing just now? It's really nice. I don't think I've ever here you sing that one to me before."

"It's a song that my mother taught me... along wit others as well."

"That was really nice of her. I wish I know what my mother was like..."

"Kamui..."

He shock his head. "Ah don't worry about it, but do you think you could sing for me sometime?"

"O-Of course. I'll be sure to sing to you next time we meet."

Azura tried to walk away seconds later only for her wrist to be caught by non other than Kamui. "Wait do you have somewhere to be right now?"

"No. But I've been out here for quite a while now and-."

"Well then... come on!" he pulled the girls wrist and started to drag her, with a smile across his face.

Azura wasn't about to move so easily and was able to stop him from dragging her for a moment. "Where are we going?"

"Farther into the garden. I haven't seen you in a while and you normally refuse to play outside. Not this time!" he said, slightly tightening his grip as he stared to run. Azura looked ready to protest, but was no longer able to once the boy started running.

The scene started going blank after he started running off with the girl. After that Kamui started to open his eyes slowly, until he was able to see the black ceiling again. It was only the crack of dawn when he woke up again and his longing to go back to sleep wasn't present this time. He sat up in bed for a moment to take in the dreams he just had. Did he really meet Azura before? And if so was that why she asked him about his regained memories? Before the dream could fade away from him memory kamui got out of bed and quickly walked over to the book shelf and pulled out an unused journal, he placed it on the table in his room and went over to the treasure chest where he pulled out a small ink jar and a quill. Once those items were gather he skipped the first few pages -that he would later use to write down what happened in the Hoshidan plaza and the battle in Ylisse- and started to write down his supposed memories about befriending Azura. As he wrote Azura's word form late night echoed in his mind 'I've trusted you ever since the day we met.'

It wasn't the first time that Kamui had written in a journal for as long as he could remember he and his twin had always written down about their day, so if they ever lost their memories again they could always find it again because it was written down. Even if it was now impossible to retrieve the old ones.

Not long after he had finally finished writing the young prince heard the nob of his room door twist and he turned to see Felicia enter the room.

The maid closed the door, turned to her liege and noticed that he had woken up on his own and sitting on his chair. "Oh! I see your up, milord."

"Yeah..." he yawned he couldn't believe how fast the time went by. "Good morning, Felicia."

"Good morning, Lord Kamui." she narrowed her eyes at the prince when he yawned again. "Are you ready to start your day?"

"I could lie and say 'Yes', but I doubt that will convince you will it?"

"Nope." She started moving closer to the young man with both her hands starting to emit a light cold mist.

Meanwhile, outside, Azura, Corrin and Lilith where waiting a little distance away from Kamui's tree house.

"Does it always have to take him this long to wake up? It's almost noon!" The little dragon complained.

"Well, I'd have to say yes, but we can't blame him. After all one whole day worth of fighting will tier anyone out." Corrin argued looking at the little dragon.

"Well as long as we're talking about sleep... Why are you up Corrin? You use to sleep in just as much as Kamui. Even a while after you came to Hoshido." Azura asked.

"Well, Xander was more forgiving if I was late for training. Ryoma on the other hand would go full out if you were more than five minutes late. I thought he was trying to kill me the first time was I late." she turned her head to face her brother's quarters. "But forgetting about me, Kamui should be fully awake right about..." the heard a loud cry coming from the tree-house a second later. "Now." a smirk appeared on Corrin's face.

About half an hour later Corrin and Kamui were in a small empty field where Corrin was trying to teach her brother to go into his dragon form and how to use dragon fang. It didn't take Kamui very long to figure out who to trigger it on his own and soon enough both siblings were sparring. While the twins were doing that Jakob was in the mess hall preparing their food along with Felicia, Jakob didn't really allow the maid to help however out of fear that she might break, spill or even burn something. Azura had decided to go on a walk after Kamui mastered his dragon transformation, unwilling to watch the twins sparring match -she didn't really like anything that evolved fighting. Gunter was nowhere in sight.

It was about past noon, in the astral planes, when the small party of outlaws went back to the real world. In the real world it was past the crack of dawn, it was a perfect time for the small group to walk through the Hoshidan field without drawing any unwanted attention.

Ten days went by and the group of six were still making their way to the village that Corrin had told them about. And for the past ten days Kamui was unable to work up the courage to asked Azura if they had met once before, as a result he spent most of his time staring at the songstress for short amounts of time while talking with Corrin.

By the time it was about noon they were finally able to see a small village form afar. All were relieved to finally see it however knew nothing about what was going on.

For the inhabitants of the small village it was nothing more than another ordinary day, watering and cultivating plants, feeding and tending to live stock and doing simple tasks around the village. Every one there was happy, still unaware of the broken barrier and the traitorous royals. The village was located so far from Nohr no one knew what a cavalier or what even a wyvern looked like and nor did they a faceless. For from out of nowhere multiple of them suddenly showed, coming in from behind the trees of a nearby forest on the outskirts of the village.

The large green creatures destroyed the village and attack and killed anyone or anything that tried to fight back ending in the quick death of several men. however the death toll didn't end there once all the men were dead the creatures moved on to the women and children. All still petrified by just what happen most of the remaining villagers were crushed by the hands on the Faceless.

However one old woman was able to snap out of her trans and shoved a young girl with sort brown hair -with a headband with white roses on each end - out of one of the monster's attack. The monsters fist went crashing into the ground trapping it, and let out a cry of pain. Tripping on a small hole in the ground the woman fell as well.

Pushing herself up the brunette saw the old woman laying on the ground and instantly recognized her. "Mother!" the young girl cried.

Having had twisted her ankle the girl's mother was no longer able to stand. instead she took one last look at the Faceless he was soon going to have his hand freed. "Run, Mozu! Please, dear! Run and don't look back!" she begged looking her daughter in the eyes.

Mozu eyes started to water, she shock her head and offered a hand to her mother. "Mother, no! Take my hand! We'll run together!" at that moment the Faceless was able to free itself and turned to the voice of Mozu's screams. it recognised the woman on the ground, charged and crushed her spin and windpipe when it crashed its fist into her. Mozu looked in horror seeing her mother killed in front of her. She had to get away.

In the end she took of crying with her eyes squinted shut. Eventually she tripped on a corps she was shock, but did take the lace near the corps and ran into the forest, the scream of the other villagers edged into her mind. 'My Mother... My village... They're all dead... I'm alone. Nowhere to go! And those monsters... They're going to come for me..."

The last screams of the villagers were the fist thing Kamui and the other's heard arriving to the entrance of the village. "Did you hear that?! Those screams! Something terrible is happening!" Kamui cried.

Felicia placed a hand on Kamui's shoulder and used the other to point at a Faceless. "We've got trouble, all right! This village is under attack by the Faceless. But this place has been ravaged. We're too late!"

Kamui shook his head. "No! There must be some survivors. With any luck, some people escaped, but if there's even one left here somewhere... Let's get searching everyone!"

"If you intend for us to search everywhere then we should split into groups." Azura said.

Kamui nodded and turned to Corrin. "Ideas on how we split?"

"If there are any survivors then searching in the forest is your best beat, but it should also be wear the Faceless will most appear."

"So fast moving around the forest and can pack a punch in a fight." The former prince mumbled under his breath. He had to choose quickly. Gunther wouldn't be much help in the terrain and Felicia wasn't very strong either. He could have considered bringing Corrin alone, however not knowing the amount of enemies they faced was another obstacle. He shock his head very quickly and looked at Corrin. "In that case do you mind if Jakob came with me?"

"Jakob, will you aid my brother?" she asked politely.

Jakob made a bow. "If that is your wish milady." He turned to glare at Gunther "You better keep Lady Corrin safe. Do you understand me you old fart?"

"The same goes for you and Lord Kamui."

Both twins sighed, before Kamui looked at Azura. "I'll need to borrow you're voice for this Azura. Will you help me."

"Of course." the songstress replied simply.

"Good now that that's decided. Let's get moving. We don't know how much time we have." Corrin said and everyone else nodded in response. Corrin nodded herself and called. "Gunther! Felicia! Let's go!"

Corrin and the other three head into the village to fighting off Faceless, unfortunately they hadn't arrived in time, for as they were crossing the bridge they saw the last few villagers get killed. They didn't give up hope however and continued into deeper into the village. While Corrin and the others were fighting, Kamui and his group head into the forest. Unlike his sister Kamui had not yet encountered the Faceless, all they could do was track farther into the woods. Where hopefully they would find someone.

Thankfully for Kamui and his unwavering hope, the group found a young girl with dark brown hair -she looked no older than Sakura or Elise. The poor thing looked scared to death, they couldn't blame her after all it must have been hard witnessing all you loved being taken away in a blink of an eye. This allowed kamui to understand what the young girl was going through as the same thing happened to him just the other day.

Kamui slowly approached the girl kneeling down to her height. "Are you okay?"

Mozu who still had terror written in her eye needed a moment to process that the person standing in front of her was in fact a human and not another green skinned monstrosity. When she realized that her eye started welling up, she dropped her weapon and she through her arms around the young man in front of her and started crying on his chest. "No!" She started of with a loud yelp. "My mother... My friends..."

Kamui placed a hand on the girl's head. "I'm- No we're here to help." Mozu looked above Kamui's shoulder to see Azura and Jakob nodding at her.

The farm girl felt another wave of tears come as she looked at all tree of them. "My mother wouldn't take my hand. She's... she's..." She tried to explain, but quickly found herself crying on kamui's chest again. She continued to cry for a little while longer when she and the others heard what she now knew as the sound of death.

Kamui immediately looked serious once again. "I'm so sorry. But there's no more time to grieve right now. Stay behind me. I'll keep you safe."

Mozu nodded staying back to watch the trio draw their weapons and fight. She was amazed to see how brave they all were. It made her wounder if she could be that strong. The battle was long, but in the end Kamui and his team prevailed either killing all Faceless that were in the area.

They where on the other side of the village -and out of the forest- when Kamui let out breath once the fighting was over -his seriousness was gone and his had his usual gentle expression again. "All right. We've finished off the last of the Faceless." he looked at Mozu. "That reminds me: You never told me your name."

"M-my name is Muzo. T-Thank you for coming to my aid." she stammered a little nervous now that she knew how strong the man was.

"Mozu, huh? Well my name is Kamui. And with me is Azura and Jakob." Kamui introduced, but since it was Azura and Jakob they stay silent. Kamui slightly shook his head earning a slight glare from Azura. "I'm sorry for your lost, but you must have some family near here. We'll be glad to take you there"

Mozu shook her head no and looked at her feet. "There's no one. I couldn't even start over here by myself. All the homes, fields... It's all destroyed. But I wouldn't want to stay here even if it wasn't. Everyone I called family is dead. Every house... a grave."she then gripped her skirt and squinted her eyes shut for a moment. "That why..." she lifted her head quickly looking Kamui in the eyes. "That's why I have to fight! For Mother! For all my friends! For everything those monsters took from me! Soplease allow me join your group."

Kamui could hear Mozu's fighting sprite loud and clear and gave her a nod. "Alright, but only until we find you a safe place to call home. Our group... a family of sorts... is bound by a dangerous cause. We go from one battle to the next, ever in peril. That's no life for you."

Mozu shook her head no once again. "No. I can't be afraid. Not anymore. I know can help. I might even save you or your friends. Let me join your cause, whatever it is. I'll be sure to keep your family safe."

Kamui could only smile. "Yes, of course. I have to admit, you sound just like one of us already."

Mozu was joyed to heard that. "I'll do my best. And I'll stay safe. After all, Mother's watching over me now."

"And I know she'll keep you safe." Kamui added. And about 10 seconds later he heard someone call his name. He quickly recognized the voice as Corrin's and turned to see her and his two retainers unscathed. Once they stopped in front of him he noticed an unconscious young boy with straight brown hair in farm cloths ridding with Gunther. He was both shocked and happy to see that there was another survivor. "No why is that actually..."

"A survivor?" Corrin completed. "Yes, but he's much more banged up than the one you found. Felicia said that he has two broken legs and a broken arm. But other than that he seem to be fine." Mozu walked up to the boy and seemed to recognize him.

Her eyes went wide after taking a closer look at him. "Clifford..." she said covering her mouth.

"Do you know him Mozu?" Kamui asked.

The farm girl nodded. "He's one of the villages shepherds." As mozu looked over with tears of joy Corrin walked over to her best friend's side to see if she was all right. Once she had confirmed that she couldn't help but feel sorry for the two survivors. "We killed all of the Faceless. But the whole village... And that poor boy and girl... They just lost everything...and the boy isn't even conscience..."

Azura placed a hand on Corrin's shoulder. "We did our best, Corrin. And we were at least able to save a few lives."

Corrin sighed. "I suppose you're right. At least we stopped those abominations. We need to leave. Bad as this is, there's only worse ahead of us."

Azura nodded in agreement. "I fear you're right."


Mozu is finally recruited as well as an OC! Yay! (Feel free to imagine what he looks like however you want) And we got to know to see the twins dreams. And the people, who use both avatars, use the name Kamui for the (F)Corrin, but guys Kamui is more commonly a boy's name and Corrin is unisex name, even if people do do that I still read it just the same it doesn't really matter but I just felt you should know anyway.

Unlike in the game in my story it will be Lilith that will handle any construction and building rearrangements while Mozu will handle the plant life and Clifford will handle live stocks. Because let's be honest aside form helping you in wi-fi or wireless battles Lilith's kinda useless.

Anyway here a few quick name definition Alexander means: Defender of Men and it oh a Greek origin. Leonel means: Young Lion and has a Spanish origin.

So thanks for reading and I'll see you all next time.
