"Xander! Don't you have enough to do around here?" Camilla snapped at him.
He shook his blond head at her, "I want to see her and I have important things to tell her."
"I could always tell Corrin, whatever news you have to give." She strutted towards him with a smile on her face.
"No, I need to be the one who tells her." He glared at her, "Stop being so possessive of her! Next thing you know you'll want to move to the North Fortress."
"It's quite nice up there." She answered with a shrug.
"Leo seems to think so." He nodded.
"It's quiet." She answered nonchalantly, "Good for his studies."
"Indeed." He said, "We leave tomorrow at first light for the fortress." He stormed away from her so kingly. She frowned.
"Beruka!" She shouted in the stables.
"Lady Camilla?" She rounded the corner holding her axe.
"I need you to get to the north fortress now." She commanded, "Tell Corrin and Leo, that Xander is on leaving for the fortress at dawn."
"As you wish." She got on her wyvern and flew off.
Camilla sat down in the hay and cried. Xander may kill Leo if he found out the truth. She prayed for the first time in a long time. "Don't let them be obvious."
"I'm so excited to see Corrin and Leo tomorrow!" Elise sang as she skipped into Xander's room, "Do you need help packing big brother?"
"Of course, sister." He smiled at his sweet young sister, she was so much easier to deal with than Camilla.
"I've missed Corrin so much!" She chattered on, "I've even missed Leo."
"Well of course, they are your siblings." He laughed.
"Sometimes I think that Leo comes from another planet." She laughed as she folded some of Xander's shirts. Xander never let servants pack his bags, and only let Elise help because he enjoyed her company.
"He just likes to read and gets annoyed when taken from his studies." He explained.
"He says I'm annoying when I talk." She whined.
"He just needs to grow up a little, he is still young and hasn't grasped maturity. Maybe when he finds a good woman." He spoke with wisdom in his voice.
"You need to get married first brother! You're the future king." She teased.
"When I find the right lady, I will." He smiled.
"Go Yoel!" Beruka shouted, rushing on her Wyvern on with her heels. They flew quickly. She wasn't sure why this message was so important that it had to be delivered, all she knew was that it was.
All the sudden she felt an arrow hit her shoulder. She screamed and her wyvern started to slow. Another arrow then whirled through the air and pierced Yoel's wing. The wyvern crashed to the ground and Beruka flew through the air.
A purple figure of shadows stepped to her. "You will do just fine." It spoke with a musical tone to its voice. Then everything went dark.
