This was originally suppose to be apart of chapter 12, but with the way things were going before I knew that there was no way I'd get it out, but I'm done with it now so I guess that counts for something. And I'm not felling the greatest on this update either, so please bare with me a little while longer.
Anyway here's chapter 13
Edit 1: January 17th, 2017
Chapter 13: Past Life
After that Kamui, Corrin and Azura had reassured their new comrades that they weren't dead, Kamui explained that they were in the astral plane and were shown to their new quarters. That is after Lilith build it of course.
They also got the news that Clifford had woken up, and Mozu now knew the truth about the group. Despite knowing all that she knew she decided to stay with them, believing that they were indeed good people, even offering to handle gardening. Clifford also decided to stay with them once he was completely healed and offed to take care of live stock when they got some. All we very thankful of course and accepted their help without second thought.
Not long after Jakob and Felicia headed off to the mess hall to start preparing the group's supper. While they waited Kamui and Yuzu were having their rematch with Azura, Corrin, Emma, Gunther, Kaze and Mozu watching. Sakura headed off to the medical area to treat Clifford. The shine maiden was surprised at how well a little animal was able to heal the young boy, all she really had to do was check if everything was in order. When she was done Sakura was approached by Hana who gave her a bag that she had left behind. Saukura thanked her and looked at what was inside along with some of her belonging she also found an old journal as well as some papers. She recognized them as Corrin's journal and the papers about Kamui's time in Hoshido that he had written down on. The princess had taken the items out of the twins rooms before she left Hoshido in the hopes that she would be able to give it back to them if they ever reunited.
She went off to give it to them, and was able to give Corrin back her journal, but had to wait until the match was over. And unfortunately for Kamui he had won quite a few match and was challenged to a rematch over and over again. After a fifth match -finally ending in Yuzu's victory- they stopped. She waited a few minutes for her brother to catch his breath before giving him the papers. Both twins headed of the their quarters to write again.
After removing her armour and finishing her writing about her day, Corrin laid down on her bed and opened her journal to a random page and started reading, part she landed on was when she got the mission to go seize Fort Dragonfall. After only reading the first page she closed it and put it aside as she could only relive the events.
She was in her room in the Northern tower at her desk writing in her journal when a knock came on the other side of her closed door. "Corrin? It's me can I come in?" The voice belonged to her twin brother.
Corrin put her quill back in the ink jar, despite finally being able to go outside of the tower and even live in castle Krakenburg she decided to continue to live in the tower as she didn't want to be separated for her twin brother. Sh gave her brother permission to enter. "Yeah. You can come in." Kamui entered the room he looked rather beat up for being only being around nine in the morning. She quickly figured out why though. "Wow." she chuckled. "Xander beat you up pretty good. Didn't he?"
"Shut up." he told her, as he made his was to her. He looked over his sister's shoulder to see what she was doing, he saw her journal and read the first sentence then quickly got bored. "What about your training? Shade beat you again."
"To the floor." she admitted, with a sigh. "I still can't believe how strong her magical abilities are." she closed her eyes and thought to herself: with skills like hers I just can't help, but wonder why she wouldn't rather join the army.
Corrin was brought out of her thoughts, hearing her twin's voice. "Well at least you know you have someone strong by your side when out in the field." he told her with a forced smile. Corrin had been able to start going out on mission about a year ago witch also meant she was allowed to go beyond the Northern Tower's wall, while kamui still had to stay confined until he was able to prove himself.
However Corrin raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Since when are you so concerned about me?"
Kamui frowned. "I'm being serious Corrin. Your my little sister and my best friend here I don't want you to get hurt."
A little ,grateful, smile appeared on the princess's lips. "You on't have too worry about me to much, Kammy. I'll always come back home."
"You better and could you stop with the stupid nickname already? It's annoying."
Corrin chuckled. "Why do you think I still use it? To make you happy?"
"I hate you." he murmured his head tilted slightly.
"That's weird I could have sworn you just said that you cared about me a few seconds ago."
"That was before you ticked me off." he said a little loudly, something that was normally unlike him, however Corrin always seem to find a way to make the young man angry and annoyed.
"But all jokes aside. I really will always return to my family."
Kamui smiled. And just the they got a message form one of the castle guards saying that their siblings were waiting for the to go to the dinning area. While they were eating Xander informed Corrin that she would be receiving a mission form their father and had to go to castle Krakenburg. She wasn't to keen on leaving especially after only getting back for her last mission a few days ago, however she knew that she had to go or face Garon for not complying to his wishes.
After eating and saying goodbye to Kamui, she and her siblings along with her retainers departed for the castle. They arrived a few hours later and headed straight for the throne room. Only the siblings were allowed entry, their retainers had to stay outside. Inside there was Garon sitting on his thorne with Iago and Hans at his side.
"Hello, Father. We've returned." Xander greeted while the rest of his siblings not to far behind.
The Nohrian king didn't seem to care very much, only focusing his attention of the eldest prince, not even bothering to bat an eye at his other children. "So you have. Is Corrin with you?"
"Hello, Father." the second princess greeted stepping forward, so the she would be in the sight of the king.
"You didn't take much time getting here. I suppose you know why."
"Yes, Father."
"Good, I shall waste no time in assigning you your new mission." the king looked behind his second daughter and stared at his other children. "The rest of you out." the four other obeyed and went back outside. Garon waited a few seconds after the door was closed, before speaking again. "Come with me, Corrin."
Corrin felt nervous as she followed Garon into another room, he had never assigned her a mission without -at least- Xander present. The room he brought them in would have been completely empty if not for the few daggers, and whips hanging form the walls. Corrin new that it had to be a torture room, and yet words slipped out of he mouth anyway. "Why must we be alone, Father?" she asked though she quickly regretted it, when she looked at the man's cold, dark face.
"Because this mission is something that no one else hear." he paused, making Corrin anxious. What could he possibly ask her to do, that needed this much privacy? "I want you to take the life of your twin brother." Corrin felt her heart stop the second he finished his line.
"What?!" she yelled, so loud that if she were to raise the volume any louder someone would surely have heard. "Why would you want me to kill Kamui?!"
"Silence." Corrin winced and Garon continued. "Listen child of mine, Kamui is the weakest out of you and your siblings. He is weak and useless to me and his country. Nohr has no place for a prince that cannot fight."
"Then why ask me and not an assassin?"
"The retainers assigned to the fool are trained to protect him at all cost and there are guards all over the tower as well. I could send a dozen of them and they would all fail. But you. You know the tower better than I do myself and you know the strengths and weaknesses of the three who serve under the boy as well. It would be easy for you to kill him." Hearing the king continue only made her angrier. What kind of father would kill his child, because of absence of strength? Or ask a child to murder their own sibling? Corrin knew well of the missions he gave, she had taken on assassination missions before, but this? This was taking it too far.
"I sorry, but I must refuse. Weak or not Kamui is my brother and the person I trust most. I won't stab him in the back. I would ratter take any punishment you give me!"
"You brat." the king growled. "Have you forgotten what happens if you refuse a mission form me?"
"I don't care. You can torture me as much as you want. I will never purposely harm my brother. I couldn't live with myself if I ever hurt someone I love."
"I can admit: I admire your loyalty." He scoffed. "Very well, I will give that worthless child six months to prove himself to me. And if he fails to do so... then both he and you will be put to rest."
Corrin crushed her teeth together and glared at the Nohrian king, giving Kamui six month to live wasn't an ideal choice. But it was better than having to kill him. "I accept." Making the choice for Kamui didn't sit to well with her, nor that knowing if he couldn't prove himself she would die as well.
"Good. But you still refused that mission, Corrin. Don't think it will go unpunished." he smirked walking over to the wall to grab whip.
Corrin braced herself for what was about to happen and before she knew it she was hit multiple times with the strip of leather. Letting out gasps of air or groans of pain every time the cord made contact with an area that was not protected by her armor.
Corrin could remember -not that she wanted to- remember for how long she was punished, she was just relieved when it was finally over. She was still on the ground panting when Garon dragged her back to the throne room. It took every bit of her remaining energy just to get back on her feet and even a little more not to scream out in pain.
"Now, unless you want to die, you will accept the new mission I give you." Corrin made a weak nod and waited for the man to continue. "You are to set of to Hoshido and seize fort Jinya. You will go alone with only your retainers and Hans."
The princess's eyes widened. "But Father! Even with our strengths combined we can't possibly be strong enough to-"
"Silence child!" Corrin immediately closed her mouth out of fear. "With skills like yours, you need to be put to the test. You will no disobey my decision am I clear!" He shouted loudly.
Corrin winced and closed her eyes. "Yes, Father. I understand. Please forgive my questioning you."
"Your forgiven. Do not let me down."
"I won't fail you, Father."
"You better not." he said sternly. "Go let Alexander in."
The princess tried to move as normally as she could as she made her way to the door, her ankles and neck were prime targets while she was being whipped. She called Xander in and after the door was closed behind them again. Garon told Xander that Kamui would have six months to train and prove himself or he would be forever looked in the tower -never to see the outside world. If she could have done it Corrin have screamed 'liar', but she knew that she and Xander would probably be killed.
Afterwords Garon had her and the first prince bring in the rest of their siblings to give them missions of their own and once that was done that royal children walked out of the room and make their way to the stables with Hans in tow. The berserker went on ahead to wait for the rest of his party at the gate, not wanting to listen to the royals talking. Corrin sent her retainers to wait at the gate as well, mostly to keep an eye on Hans of course. While the other sent their retainer to recheck their gear.
Saddled up and ready to leave Corrin look back at her siblings one last time. "Well, I'm off on another daring mission. So for now, this is good-bye."
Xander smiled. "Take care, Corrin. Even when we are apart, know we are still with you in spirit."
Camilla on the other hand was rather sad. "Oh, it just doesn't seem fair! Going on a mission like that with such a small army. I'd go with you, but Father tasked us with a mission of our own. I really wish there was something we could do to help..."
"Don't worry, Camilla. I'll be fine on on own." Corrin reassured.
"Yeah! Big Sister's really strong. So their no way she won't come back."
"Well seeing as she's not going on a mission with Elise again I'm sure she'll be fine." Leo said looking at his older sister though it was obviously directed towards Elise.
The second the mage finished saying his last word Elise snapped. "HEY! That's not funny, Leo! Why would you say such a terrible thing?!"
Corrin started laughing at Elise's outburst. "He's just trying to get a rise out of you, Elise. You know that I can count on you."
"Thanks, Corrin!" the princess said cheerfully. "That's why you're my favorite!" she quickly turned, glaring at Leo. "Because you aren't mean and stupid like Leo!"
Leo shook his head slowly. "Even after spending time on the battlefield, you're somehow still the same spoiled brat. It's actually quite impressive. See, Elise? I'm not mean at all. I just said you impress me."
Elise started growling and screamed, "XANDER! MAKE LEO STOP TEASING ME!" as loud as she could.
The crowned prince let out a sigh, ignoring his youngest siblings fighting. "Corrin, listen well. Though Hans is a strong warrior, he is also a criminal that I arrested a few years back. Be wary around him."
"If that's true than way would-"
"I don't know, but you know as well as I do what will happen if you refuse to take the mission now."
"Yeah... Father will kill me himself. Thank you for the heads-up, Xander. I keep that close in mind to make sure make sure to return home... and of course to make you proud."
Xander smiled. "I know you will I look forward to seeing that new power when you return safely.
"Thank you, Xander. Well, I suppose I had better get going. Good-bye, everyone!" she said gently pulling on the reins.
"Good luck Sis!" Elise cheered.
The second princess smiled making he was to the front gate to met up with her retainers.
"Are you all set, Lady Corrin?" Shade asked.
"I am. I hope I didn't keep you waiting long."
"Not at all, milady. We are ready to leave went you are."
"Then let us depart."
"Finally." Hans hissed.
Corrin stared at him for a second remembering her older brother's warning. Not to long after they started making their way to the Bottomless Canyon. It was a quiet trip there. All tie time it took to get their Corrin was in front, but made sure that Jakob and Shade watched Hans carefully form the rear. After a while of ridding with Hans not showing any signs of attacking Corrin started dropping her guard.
The party of four dismounted from their steeds not to far form the bridges connecting Nohr and Hoshido to get an assessment of the area. strangely enough the Hoshidan's side looked deserted, none of them really questioned it though, took their horses by their reins and and made their way to the other side of the canyon. Once on the other side Corrin got distracted and looked back to Nohr's side of the canyon, as far as she could remember it was her first time on Hoshidan soil -in enemy territory.
Jakob noticed her being distracted and went over to see if she was all right. While this was happening Shade was checking the map, so that they wouldn't waste time having to look at it often and run the risk of getting spotted. Hans on the other hand smirked seeing all of not focused on him she started sneaking up on Corrin. He went to pull out his tomahawk, Shade notice the gesture from the corner of her eye and dropped the map.
"Corrin! Jakob!" The dark mage yelled, grabbing her tome. Corrin and Jakob turned to see Hans charge at them, Jakob reached for one of his daggers. However his hand only met the floor as Hans knocked him unconscious, Corrin was able to draw her sword and found herself in battle soon enough. As she fought Shade could only watch, the princess was too close to the edge and a wrong move could sent both her and the Berserker into the chasm with no end.
It wouldn't be easy for Corrin to push back the mad man either as he was much stronger than she was. For the moment she could hold her ground and block his attacks until she fond a way to escape the ledge or Shade could find an opening. Hans was finally able to get Corrin to the ground unfortunately for him he raised his weapon in the air allowing Corrin to roll out of the way. But at the same time she had to abandon her sword. Shade didn't wast any time casting her spell on the man.
Much to both of their surprises Hans took the hit head on, sadly it wasn't enough to throw him into the canyon. And form the darkness a smirk could be clearly seen on the crazed man's face. he swung his axe to the side and started walking towards Corrin. Shade was in complete shock. How was it even possible for someone to take such a hit and not even fell the slightest pain.
On the ground unarmed with a monster covered in darkness making his way to her. She started shaking and closed her eyes when he brought his weapon up. She opened her eyes again after hearing a slash, but feeling no pain. Her eyes where widened seeing the dark mage fall to the ground. Hans however only made a grunt of annoyance.
"Shade!" the Nohrian princess yelled, using one hand to gently lift the white haired woman's head. The dark mage opened her eyes and looked at Corrin for the last time. "Why did you..." she started only to start breaking down into tears.
Shade gave her a weak smile. "Don't cry... Corrin... I want you to smile and live on for me... Don't allow this man to kill you..."
"Don't talk like that!"
"Its been an honor having been able to know you... my friend..." She closed her eyes and passed away.
Corrin started shaking even more and brought her forehead down to her fallen comrade's. The lost was suddenly interrupted by Hans' sharp laughing. "Well wasn't that stupid? Throwing your life away for that of some weak and puny brat. Ha!" Corrin could feel herself getting angry, the blood in her veins rushing through her body as she lifted her head slightly to glare at the manic. "Let me tell you something kid: in this world there are the strong and there are the weak," he raised his axe up once again ready to attack. Corrin's rage grew even more and she started feeling a dark pulse starting to overcome her entire body. "and the strong must bring down the weak!"
As Hans was about to bring down his axe Corrin looked down at her shaking hands and started seeing a black and red darkness started emanating from them she crossed her arms in the shape of an X and let out a scream that sounded like as roar she brought her arms to the side outstretched, all of her rage being released all at once. Her arms took the shape of that of a dragon's and she crashed her arms to the ground, so that she would be on all fours, she grew large wings on his back and transformed into a large dragon.
After the transformation the energy around Corrin dissipated, effectively knocking Hans to the ground. Corrin then stood on his his legs and the out a loud roar. The dragon looked around to see Hans staring in complete shock she screeched at him, ready to attack. She would be able to attack however as something hit her neck. Enraged and out of control Corrin would fight anything would attack anything the made her mad.
She looked over to the side and saw an archer along with a few other Hoshidan soldier. While she was distracted Hans decided to flee. He would simply tell Garon that all tree of his companions were killed.
The Hoshidan soldiers started surrounding the large beast, with only those who were able to attack form a long range where allowed to engaged. The soldiers had no spell casters with them and the ninjas and archer were only aggravating her. The other soldiers with a different job defended the long range attackers from Corrin's attacks.
Corrin knocked out nine warriors, when reinforcements came with Ryoma, Kagero and Saizo in tow. The remaining soldiers surrounding Corrin retreated allow with the wounded and go to a healer.
The three didn't waste much time attacking the dragon only making her more angry. Corrin was all ready injured however, so it didn't take very long for the three to bring her to the ground. Once the dragon hit the ground she passed out, most likely do to exhaustion and the sharp blow to the head she took from Ryoma, and took back human form.
After that Corrin started to have memories about her forgotten childhood, every memory that she had before she turned thirteen, the finally stopped when she woke up. Upon opening her eyes she found herself in a room that looked nothing like that of Nohr's, the most remarkable difference was that is bright, not by candles, but the sun itself. She slowly pushed herself up -her head pounding- and noticed that one of her wrists was shackled to the cot she was in. She also noticed a sealing tag around the chain.
She let out a small gasp and started to struggle her wrist a bit. She was just about ready to pull her wrist out form whatever was binding her when someone slide open the door. On the other side of the door was a woman in white garbs and a man in red armor. Corrin didn't looked at them completely, but was still nervous never the less as she cringed her teeth.
"You're awake, that's good." the man smiled. Corrin didn't changed her expression, and Ryoma could understand why. He drooped his smile as he eyes darted down on the Nohrian's chained wrist. "I'm sorry about bounding you to your cot, we couldn't take the chance of you retaliating or escaping."
Corrin cringe her teeth tighter as she cocked her head down. "If that's true then why didn't you just kill me while I was unconscious?" she demanded. She herd the footsteps of one of the two people as she did.
"Now, why do you think we would do that, Corrin?" the man asked, as he unlocked the teen's shackle.
"How do you know my name?" she asked a little shock, still refusing to look at the man's face.
"It would probably help if you looked at me."
Corrin slowly lifted up her head to face the two. She instantly recognized them. "Ryoma?" she whispered in aw. She turned her head slightly to get a better look at the person beside her brother. Her eye widened. "Mom...?"
Mikoto walked over to the girl and stroke her cheek lightly. She removed her hand for a second then pulled the manakete into a tight embrace, tears streaming down her face. Corrin stayed still for a moment, before returning her mother's hug. Ryoma looked at the two with a smile on his face.
The queen pulled back and looked her daughter straight in the eyes. "I never thought I'd see you again... I'm so happy that your back home."
"I'm happy to see you too." Corrin replied. Suddenly she remembered something rather important. "Where are Jakob and Shade?" she asked despite them not knowing the names of her retainers. This was confirmed when both gave her a confused look. "A man with silver hair and a woman with white hair."
Ryoma understood much better, however looked at his long lost sister regretfully. "The man you speak of is in a one of our prison cells... but the woman... she's dead." Corrin eyes went wide. How did-? she the remembered the event at the Bottomless Canyon. Hans had killed her friend defending her. Shade died because of her. She look down at her clenched hand and gritting her teeth.
Her body started shaking, "Is her body here, at lest?" she asked, nervous to hear the answer.
"Yes. We brought her body back here, thinking she might be one of your comrades." Ryoma replied. Corrin remained silent. "If you'd like I could take you to your friend in prison." Corrin nodded, slowly getting out of bed.
Not long after exiting the room, they made it to Jakob's lonely prison cell. He was sitting on his bed with his head bowed down. His body still and he was so quiet that you could have mistaken him for a statue if you where standing from afar. Despite that Corrin was over joyed to see him and started running over to the cell calling his name.
The sound of the princess's voice was more than enough to reanimate Jakob again. He got up from his cot and grabbed the bars of the cage, he looked through the bars and saw Corrin running towards him.
Not long after Jakob, Ryoma and Corrin returned to the castle. There they were greeted by Hinoka who was cocking back her tears, Takumi who looked more annoyed that he'd ever been and Sakura who was trying to understand why her older siblings were acting out of character.
Corrin's eyes shot open when she heard a knock on the door. "Lady Corrin, supper will be ready in a few minutes." the voice belonged to Jakob. Corrin told him that she would be out in a minute and got out of bed. She would have to read the rest of her journal later or relive the whole thing in her head.
Meanwhile in the kitchen, Felicia was in charge of watching the food that Jakob had prepared as well as her own. And somehow, despite the silver haired butler being go for a few minutes, she had somehow managed to burn her's. It took a few minutes for her to notice the sell of something burning though, but once she did she went to get some water to throw it over the fire.
With the flames gone her eyes started to well up. "Why does this sort of thing always happen to me? I've ruined ANOTHER meal! I thought I followed the recipe perfectly this time..." she said to herself.
Just as she was about to start crying Kamui walked in. "Hey, Felicia." he greeted from the entrance, knowing she was in the kitchen. The maid quickly wiped away her tears before the manakete could see them, however she was going to able to hide the fact the she was upset. Nor the fact that one of the pots in the room smelled burned. "What's the matter?" Kamui asked when he saw his maid eyesight on the ground. He took a moment to smell the air and turned his attention to the burned pot. He thought he understood what had happened. "Oh, no. Did you start another fire?"
Felicia's eyes darted up, and shook her head quickly to snap herself out of her daze and back to reality as well. She had probably forgotten the sound of his voice as she was expecting the person the walk in be Jakob. If that were the case she was expecting to get yelled at or at least given a lecture. "Lord Kamui!" she exclaimed, then turning her her away and dropping her voice slightly. "No, Not this time... This time I just ruined another meal."
"Felicia..." he mumbled placing a hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feeling," Felicia started slumping. "cheer up! You're plenty helpful to everyone. I promise." he added trying to get her to console to no avail.
"Sorry, but I don't believe that at all." she told him refusing to meet Kamui's eyes.
"Well, what about that last battle, when you got the enemy's attention by screaming?And then, you not only got them to come after you, you took them all out too!I've never seen such a bold strategy! And such bravery." he complimented it didn't help however, since Felicia sank to the ground, hugging her knees. I surprise Kamui a little. Did he say something he wasn't suppose to? "Felicia?! What's wrong? Why are you curling up on the floor?!"
"You really don't understand, do you?" she said hiding her face behind her folded legs. "That wasn't a strategy, Kamui! I was just trying to run away from them, and then I got surrounded. I had to fight my way out or die! I wasn't being brave. I was terrified."
He awkwardly scratched the back of his head. "Oh, really? Could have fooled me..."
"I don't want to be a good warrior anyway!" she exclaimed. "We have plenty of capable soldiers now anyway. I want to be a good maid. I want to be able to mend clothes and make food and wash dishes."
Kamui sighed, he normally didn't give up on a person especially if it someone close to him, but with how stuck up Felicia was... he didn't really know what else to do. "Yeah, I guess so. I suppose you don't have to join us on the battlefield anymore if you don't want too."
"But then I'd be COMPLETELY worthless!" she yelled at him finally removing her ears form her shoulders.
"No! Don't say that! You could... er..." he started looking around quickly to try and come up with something all the while his retainer was looking at him becoming more and more depressed. "You could help with..." he started, still unable to come up with something. He started looking around again, but this time it was for a way to get out of the room. He spotted Sakura outside and figured that it would be a good way to escape. "Oh, look! It's Sakura. I just remembered that I had to talk to her. Um. Gotta go!" he took of running moments later.
Felicia got up and headed to another part of the kitchen. "... I'm going to my corner..." she mumbled to herself, before curling up into a ball -again- in her corner.
Meanwhile outside Kamui let out a sigh and headed back to his room on his way there he notice Jakob walking to the mess hall and his twin wasn't to far behind. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her back a few steps. "What's up, Kammy?"
The young man chose to ignore the childhood nickname Corrin had given him. "Nothing much, other then dinner will be a bit late."
"What happened? Felicia burned or break something again?"
"Yeah. She did." he told her and as if on cue they both heard Jakob scream for the kitchen, startling most of the soldiers.
After cringing her teeth slightly Corrin asked, "So what do we do in the mean time?"
"Um... I was hoping that we could talk. Or just do something like we use to."
"Like what? Most of the games we played when we were kids involved a board. But... yeah I guess we could talk."
"Great, let's go quarters then." Corrin nodded and followed her brother back to his room.
"So I guessing you want to ask me something?" Corrin asked sitting on the bed. Kamui nodded, sitting next to her. "So what's the question this time?"
"Is their any chance that your mad at our Nohrian siblings?" Corrin didn't answer and laid her head on her brother's pillow and closed her eyes. She stayed silent like that for quite sometime that Kamui laid down himself, still waiting for an awnswer. When he heard her answer Kamui's heart sank.
"Yes." she replied and turned to the wall. "Please. Don't ask anything else."
Kamui knew that it had to be very personal to her so he didn't push any farther. "Fine. Goodnight, Rin." he said turning around, so their backs were facing each other.
It didn't take much time for the twins to fall asleep and soon enough Kamui was back into his world of dream. Kamui found himself in Castle Krakenburg's music hall. He was about ten-years of age, sitting at the piano with a young Azura sitting beside him.
"You want to try to mach the lyrics of my song to the piano?" Azura asked him with her eyebrow raised.
Kamui nodded. "Uh huh."
"Do you even know how to play that well, now? You were practically a beginner when I first heard you play."
Kamui filled his cheeks with air and narrowed his eyes slightly. "I've been practicing a whole lot since then okay? And I've already started matching the first verse of the song to the piano."
"You have?"
"Well, duh. You pretty much sing that song all the time. It got stuck so deep in my head that I had to do something about it. So I started finding the melody that matches your song with the piano.
Azura smiled sweetly at him. "Alright I'll trust you know what you're doing." she cleared her throat and quickly sucked in a breath of air, before she started to sing. Kamui accompanied her on the piano matching every key.
You are the ocean's gray waves, destined to seek
Life beyond the shore just out of reach
Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time
The path is yours to climb
-o-o-o-
In the white light, a hand reaches through
A double-edged blade cuts your heart in two Waking dreams fade away,
Embrace the brand-new day
Sing with me a song of birthrights and love
The light scatters to the sky above
Dawn breaks through the gloom, white as a bone
Lost in thoughts all alone
Azura took in a breath of air then applauded the pianist. "Wow. You really are good at the piano now."
"Told ya.' Kamui said crossing his arms and pouting at the little girl.
Azura chuckled at how muck of a child he was being -witch was ironic. "Hey. If I sing you the rest of the song do you think you could figure it out?"
Kamui uncrossed his arms and placed them on the bench he was sitting on. "Sure thing, but gonna have to hear it first."
Azura nodded. "No problem I'll sing you the next part only first though." she took in a breath of air -again- then started singing. Kamui only listened this time.
You are the ocean's gray waves, destined to seek
Life beyond the shore just out of reach
Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time
The path is yours to climb
-o-o-o-
Embrace the dark you call a home,
Gaze upon an empty, white throne
A legacy of lies, A familiar disguise
Sing with me a song of conquest and fate The black pillar cracks beneath its weight
Night breaks through the day, hard as a stone
Lost in thoughts all alone
A few seconds after Azura finished Kamui spoke. "Okay so I have the refrain figure out, so I'm just gonna ask you to sing the part after that again and again until I figure it out, okay?"
"Sure thing Kamui."
The rest of his dream was just that, figuring out the keys to Azura's song, it only stopped when they had figured it out and Kamui was able to get up on his own once again. Corrin had disappeared from his room at that point, but he did care too much at the moment instead he pulled out his journal, some ink and a quill and started writing the lyrics of the song in it.
Okay let's get this done.
Yes I used a bit of a repetition of Kamui's transformation, since I was a bit lazy and my life has been nothing more than exams and nausea and sharp needles since I last updated. Shade's death speak or whatever I wrote isn't long since there is a maniac near them, and she isn't really apart of this story so this is probably the last time I'll ever mention her.
And one last thing I have no idea how siblings bond since I am an only child and my friend who do have siblings don't exactly like each other sooo help me out. please?
To Delta477: No I do not intend to pair any of the child characters (I don't think I ever will). I am going to use the child OCs I mentioned (I already have the ones I need) I don't intend to use them as much (like most of the other characters 'cause there are a lot) but I do plan do do something for the two people that created them, it will be for their eyes only so none of the other readers will not have to worry about that. And I'm still thinking about what I should do with Mozu.
But anyways thank you all for reading and I'll see you all next time.
