Chapter 35

Everyone walked into the throne room of the Vallite Castle only to see the room was completely empty. Or at least that is what they assumed to be the case as the doors to the room abruptly shut behind them. Once this happened the group heard a loud roar followed by seeing a large face move towards them. Upon closer inspection though Corrin soon realized that the thing coming towards them was in fact a dragon. Even with this knowledge though the prince was still caught off guard as he exclaimed, "What?! This is Anankos?!"

The prince's eyes widen in shock when he heard a loud voice coming from the dragon as he replied, "Yes! And now that you are here I can finally be rid of this place! However, this will only happen once I have killed you and taken your body for my own as my new vessel!"

"I don't think so! Because my friends and I have come here to put an end to your madness once and for all, Anankos!" Corrin shouted, as he and the others prepared for the final battle.

"YOU FOOLISH CHILD! You would dare stand against me with your pathetic man made weapons?! I will relish making you suffer just like how the humans had made me suffer all those years ago!" Anankos remarked, while he let out another loud roar.

Corrin did his best to remain determined even after seeing a few more Vallite soldiers appear in the throne room. Once this happened he saw Kamui and Felicia move up to a Dark Knight unit which the beastman easily defeated after he focused and than yelled, "Take this!"

Upon doing this he landed a critical hit on the mounted unit and as it disappeared he just turned his back to it and scoffed. Hinoka was the next one to move up until she could attack a nearby Warrior unit from a distance when she used the sacred katana to summon a lightening bolt that hit the enemy, but it was not enough to outright kill the enemy. However, quickly afterwards Camilla and Marchosias moved up to where they were in front of the red haired princess. Once they did this the purple haired woman easily finished the opponent off with one blow. And while she ran a hand through her hair she mockingly asked, "Did it hurt?"

Sakura and Moritaka were the next pair to move as the pink haired healer used her older brother's weapon to defeat a nearby Wyvern Lord in two hits. Upon doing this she let out a sigh of relief as the as enemy vanished in front of gave Elise and Jambavan the chance to move up to a nearby Adventurer to whom the young princess attacked and hit without any trouble. She was not able to dodge the counterattack though that ended up giving her a good amount of damage. She would not give up though as she recovered and hit the arrow using unit one final time with her older brother's weapon thus finishing him off. And while he disappeared she nodded her head and said "That's right." to which she followed up by letting out a light giggle.

Once this had been done Anankos was the only enemy remaining as Corrin and Temujin moved up to the dragon's head to attack him. Before the prince could do so though he heard the dragon's voice again when he exclaimed, "I am the forgotten god! The betrayed King! I am the buried dragon!"

Hearing this though only caused the young man to tighten his grip on his sword as he struck the dragon with his Yato blade. And upon doing so he quickly realized that his attack had more power behind it than ever before. After causing a good amount of damage to him though Corrin was hit with a dragon breath attack that gave him heavy damage. Even though he was in great pain though Corrin quickly ran up to the dragon and attacked it one more causing more damage to him. After he did this he looked back and saw Azura and Bathym make their way to him before the young woman sang thus giving him the energy to move again. Once he was able to move again the prince attempted to end the war once and for all with one final attack as he pulled his sword in front of himself and than pointed it diagonally towards the ground as he said, "I make my own fate."

Upon saying this he then proceeded to jump into the air and hit the dragon landing the critical hit. However, Corrin could tell Anankos had just barely survived the attack as he attempted a counterattack. The prince's red eyes widen as he knew that being hit by the blast of dragon's breath would mean the end for not only him, but everyone else as well. Thankfully the attack never hit the prince for he was quickly pushed out of harms way after Temujin had let out a grunt of disapproval. And while he pushed him out of the way he told the swordsman, "The enemy shall not get pass me!"

Once the attack had been stopped Corrin ran up to Anankos and delivered the final blow to his head. Doing so caused the dragon to roar out in both pain and anger before his head fell to the ground. After this occurred his body began to disappeared and as it did this he muttered out, "Why..."

Hearing this though did not waver Corrin in the least before he saw the dragon completely disappear for good. Upon seeing this prompted the prince to let out a tired sigh while he happily announced, "W-We did it, everyone. We've finally ended this war, and have brought peace to all three kingdoms. Now let us put this place behind us once we've returned back above the Bottomless Canyon."

ooooooo

A few months had gone by after everything that had happened. And with Anankos defeated the original kingdom of Valla that was hidden in the Bottomless Canyon was sealed away. This led to that area becoming normal land again. But as Corrin and Azura began the reconstruction for the new kingdom of Valla they soon realized that such a small amount of land would not be enough for their newly rebuilt home to flourish. And so once Hinoka took over the throne as Queen of Hoshido, and Camilla took over as the Queen of Nohr, the two women willingly offered them a bit of land from both of their respective kingdoms.

Doing so gave the two Vallite royals enough land to have a full kingdom just like both Nohr and Hoshido. And once Valla had been reestablished Corrin was crowned the new King of Valla. And yet on the evening of coronation he took a walk to clear his mind.

Upon doing so led the young man to a large body of water, and when he looked up ahead he saw both Azura and Bathym standing next to each other. Seeing this brought a smile to his face as he said, "There you two are. I take it you needed a break from the celebration too?"

"Yes, but don't worry Corrin both Bathym and I will return to the festivities in a moment." His cousin reassured him, as she turned around to face him.

Once she did this though the sliver blonde haired king let out a sigh and commented, "Azura, are you certain it was wise to make me King of Valla? Because by all rights you should be ruling over the kingdom."

"I know, Corrin. But to be honest you will make a better ruler than I ever could hope to be. I'm afraid that type of role was not meant for me." The light blue haired woman confessed, before she walked up to him. Once she had done this she gave him a reassuring smile and added, "But just know that I will remain by your side. And whatever trails may come our way we will face them together."

"Hey, Azura, you forgot to mention that I'll be here too. So you have nothing to fear, Corrin. For I will protect both of you as best I can." Bathym told the two with a big grin on his face.

"If that is true then it would be wise for me to keep a closer eye on you then what I already was doing." A voice remarked, causing Corrin to turn and see Temujin walking towards them.

"Oh, Temujin. I take it you came here to bring us back to the castle?" The red eyed swordsman asked, now with a big smile on face.

"Yes, I have. So we'd best head back now before everyone begins to wonder where we are." The green and white furred beastman replied, before he extended his hand to the young king.

Corrin let out a light chuckle as he placed his own hand on top of the wolf's and replied, "Yes, you're absolutely right. So are you two coming back with us, Azura?"

"Of course." Azura happily said, while she took Bathym's hand and the four walked back towards the castle as the sun started to set.

Epilogues

Marchosias and Camilla: Even though she did not truly want to take over the throne and become Queen. Camilla did so in honor of her fallen older and younger brother. And with Marchosias by her side she soon became a ruler the people of Nohr loved. Although both she and the beastman were quite surprised when the child they had raised for many years walked up to them one day and told them he was going a journey of self discovery around the continent.

Horkeu Kamui and Felicia: A few months after Corrin was crowned the King of Valla, Felicia decided to give up being a maid and returned home to her village. Kamui of course went with her, and the two lived a quiet and happy life together. However, the two still made sure to visit Corrin whenever possible.

Jambavan and Elise: Jambavan came to live in Nohr once his schooling was finally finished. Upon doing this the two not only began a relationship, but also built a clinic. The couple found great success thanks to Elise's amazing abilities with healing staves and Jambavan's vast knowledge of various healing herbs and medicines.

Moritaka and Sakura: Sakura stayed in Hoshido to help with repairs and to be there for her older sister who had taken up the throne, although Moritaka visited whenever he had the time to do so. And after a few years had passed the beastman took the princess to his homeland where she payed her respects to his parents grave. And once they had returned to Hoshido where Moritaka did the same and then vowed to stay in Hoshido. A months later the two were wed under the Cherry Blossom Trees.

Bathym and Azura: Even though Azura did not take up the throne for the Kingdom of Valla, she still remained by Corrin's side as his trusted advisor. When this happened though Bathym had no choice but to wear more "proper" attire to which the beastman always complained about it to her in private. Although when during balls and other events he would not even think to do so since people would come up to him and Azura while they complemented them on how the couple appeared to be gliding on the dance floor which always put a big smile on his face.

Temujin and Corrin: The two ruled over Valla together once the beastman had returned from his homeland after "taking care of some personal business". The two ushered in a new era of peace as they supported one another daily. Along with this they did indeed adopt a child who they raised to someday be a successor to the throne.
