Chapter 19 Nohr
Day 280
Up north of the Kingdom of Nohr, sat a fortress surrounded by mountains. Making it rather hidden. In a higher tower was a bedroom where a young girl slept. She was Corrin's age and looked almost identical to him save for the longer hair.
Four people entered the room. Two girls and two men. Both of the girls were around the girl in bed's age and were identical to one another and dressed in a similar maid outfit. The difference however was that one had pink hair while the other had blue hair. One of the guys was around the same age as the maids and was dressed in a butler outfit. He had a bit more of a stern face and long silver hair combed down and tied in a ponytail. The last man was much older than the rest. He had grey hair and was dressed in black armor.
"Lady Kamui, it is time to wake up." The blue-haired maid said softly.
Kamui groaned as she slowly opened her eyes. "It's still dark out." She whined.
"It always looks dark, but it is morning my lady. So, it is time to get up." The old knight said
Kamui groaned as she sat up revealing that she was wearing a grey nightgown.
"I have taken the liberty of readying your armor and err…pounding out the dents." The butler said with a sigh. "Your brother is quite a serious opponent."
"Still not fully awake yet. Can't I sleep for a few more minutes?" Kamui complained
"Is that so? Felicia. Can you assist me?" The blue-haired maid asked the pink-haired one
"Sure, thing Flora." Felicia said as she and her sister got to both sides of Corrin. Their hands were covered in ice magic and the both placed a hand on Kamui's face.
"COLD! COLD! COLD!" Kamui freaked out as the hands touched her. "I'm awake! Totally awake now!"
"That is how we deal with slugabeds in the ice tribe." Flora grinned
"Noted." Kamui said flatly. "Still wish I could finish that dream I had."
"Interesting. If you don't mind me asking, what was it about?" Jakob asked
"I was on a big field, and there were some Hoshidans that called me their sister. But my family is in Nohr so it makes no sense. Though that wasn't the strangest part. There was a boy that looked just like me. But with shorter hair." Kamui explained
"Just like you?" The old man asked
"Something wrong Gunter?" Flora asked
"No, but it is strange that there is something strange about that." Gunter admitted
"Now that you mention it, dose. I don't know why, but there is something familiar about that." The Butler said. Both of the Maids had a similar thought but Flora dismissed it.
"Well, regardless, we can talk about it another time. Your brother Prince Xander is here for training. So you best get dressed and go meet him." Flora said
"Agreed. Come along Jakob." Gunter said
"I'm coming." Jakob sighed as the two left the room while Flora grabbed Kamui's armor for her to get dressed as Felicia made the bed.
Kamui was now dressed in black clothing that was covered by silver armor and a blue cape as she headed downstairs to see a young man with short blond hair neatly combed with a small crown on his forehead. He was dressed in black and purple armor with golden ornaments. Next to him was a man a bit younger than Kamui. His blond hair was a bit more ruffled and he wore a black hairband. His armor was similar to the older male, but he also had a cloak and a collar, that was on inside out.
"Xander, Leo. Good morning." Kamui greeted
"Greetings sister. I see you finally got out of bed." Leo commented
"I'm sorry to make you wait." Kamui apologized
"It is fine little sister. Camilla and Elise will be here soon, but in the meantime, let us get started on training." Xander said and Kamui nodded as the three headed to the roof.
Silas was hiding about in the mountains nearby the fortress. He was just out of range so that the guards won't notice him, and thanks to a pocket telescope he bought while in Twilight Town. He was able to spy easier despite his position.
"It's been so long, yet it feels like yesterday I was brought here for a play date with Corrin." Silas commented as he watched Kamui sparing against Xander with Leo watching.
"According to what Namine said, no one will remember Corrin until Sora's memories are restored. So nether Nohr or Hoshido has any idea who he is." Silas muttered to himself.
When he first arrived back home, his first step was to figure out where he was going to go. A part of him wanted to go to Hoshido. He really wanted to see what the other Kingdom looked like if nothing but for sheer curiosity, but that would be tricky. Not because of the barrier. If what he heard was true, the barrier only affects those who wish harm upon Hoshido, and he no longer did. So, the barrier shouldn't affect him. However, when he was still in training, one of the biggest things he was warned about was to always be wary of Hoshidans Ninjas. They were very keen and he would likely get spotted and attacked on the fly. Because you know. His Black Coat TOTALLY wasn't suspicious or anything. At least in Nohr, with the darker environment, it was easier to hide, and since the Organization is involved, they would likely be more invested in Nohr than Hoshido. So, it was a better place to start looking for Dusks.
Still, even if they did find him, Silas has been training far stronger than any Nohrian training with the Heartless, the nobodies and Riku, so he should be able to take on the solders. But better safe than sorry with the Royal Family.
"Looks like Kamui kept on training all this time." Silas commented as he watched Kamui try to attack Xander, but Xander blocking every hit. He then spotted two more people entering the roof. One was a woman a bit younger than Xander. Unlike the rest of the Royal family, she had long purple hair and black head piece in her hair. She wore armor similar to Xander but it was more…revealing in certain areas…Enough of that!
The last was rather young. She had long blond hair tied into pig tails with some flower shaped hair pieces. She wore a white vest, a black skirt and had a pink bow in the front.
They were Camila and Elise. The princesses of Nohr.
Thinking back, Silas remembered his time with them.
When it came to Kamui, he did play with her and would call her a childhood friend, he wouldn't do it in the same level as he did with Corrin. When Corrin and Kamui were little, Elise would often spend time with them quite a lot along with Camila, but they would connect more with Kamui than Corrin so he would end up playing with Corrin. Still, there were times they would play together and he did have fun with Kamui.
Xander didn't spend much time with him. While Xander did help bring him to the fortress for the first time, he didn't really interact due to his schedule. Still, when he was banished, Xander didn't seem to look all that thrilled with him.
Leo didn't really interact with him much ether. Though to be fair, Leo kept more to himself and with his studies. At least to Silas's experience.
Camilla…Silas admitted he had a crush on her when he was younger. At first, he was jealous since he had no siblings and Camila was always so caring. Though by now, those feelings may have passed at this point.
Elise was a lot of fun. Though she was rather young when he last saw her, her nanny or Camila would bring her over quite a lot and she was a lot of fun to play with.
Well regardless, all he could do was watch. It did turn out he was presumed dead and him showing up would not be a good idea. Along with that ban for life on him.
Kamui tried to make another strike, but Xander easily blocked it and sent her flying back.
"You won't beat the strongest knight in Nohr by sleeping all day dear sister." Leo taunted
"That can't be all you have. You are a princess of Nohr. Pick up your sword and try again." Xander said
"Big brother I…" Kamui began
"We do this so we can prepare ourselves for our enemies. Father has been tracking your progress. If you can't land a hit on me today, he may never permit you from leaving the Northern Fortress…EVER." Xander said
"Did he really say that? That's insane!" Kamui shouted
"Then use that to motivate you to keep on going. Show that our time training was not a waste!" Xander declared
With a surge of determination, Kamui launched herself at Xander to try and land a hit.
Silas meanwhile was in deep thought. "From what Riku and Namine told me, Corrin possessed a power to turn into a dragon. If Kamui is his twin, dose she have that power as well? I don't think I ever heard of the Nohrian, or Hoshidan royal families being able to do that…" Silas muttered. "Though I doubt a training session will invoke it."
Kamui gave an uppercut with her training sword and finally managed to land a hit on Xander.
"Well done little princess. You're getting stronger every day." Xander praised
"Thanks, Xander. I couldn't have done it with your…tough love." Kamui said with a small chuckle.
"I disagree. You have a natural talent. I think you can one day be the greatest warrior in all of Nohr." Xander said
"Now you're just teasing me." Kamui blushed
"I never joke about a serious matter. You know that. I mean what I said." Xander said
"You may be the one to bring light to our Kingdom so long shrouded in darkness." Xander said
"Xander…" Kamui said in awe.
"How typical. You both do know there is more to strength than simple swordplay." Leo sighed
"Leo, he didn't mean…" Kamui began before Xander interrupted
"Calm down Leo. You are competitive to a fault. I have always said that you have had a talent for magic." Xander laughed
"Well…just remember that a pointy stick is not the only path to power." Leo said
"By the way Leo. There is something I've been meaning to tell you." Kamui said
"What is so important to derail us from this conversation?" Leo asked
"Your collar is inside out…again." Kamui laughed
"WHAT?! Why didn't you say anything?" Leo demanded as he ran off to fix it.
"Because it's what makes you so lovable Leo." Xander laughed
"Absolutely." Kamui laughed
The two then noticed Camellia and Elise approaching the two and Leo returning with his now fixed collar.
"Are you all right Kamui? You didn't get hurt, did you? If you need, I can take care of it." Camellia said softly.
"I'm fine Camellia. No need to worry." Kamui assured
"I worried too!" Elise jumped in
"I know." Kamui laughed. "If you didn't care, you wouldn't visit as much as you do."
"Yaaay! I'm so glad to hear that. Spending time with my sister makes me happy!" Elise cheered as she jumped towards Kamui for a big hug. "I love you so much! I love you more than anything in the whole world!"
"Elise, when do you intend to act like the adult you technically are?" Leo sighed
"Well, I for one think her cheer is a good compliment to this gloomy kingdom." Camilla said
"Well said Camilla. Everyone of you is dear to me." Kamui said "You have all been so patient and kind since I lost my memory. I don't feel the pain of being quarantined when you are all here."
Xander smiled at that. "I'm glad to hear that, but I do have one more announcement for you."
"Let me tell her Xander." Camilla cut in. "Father asked us to take you back to the capital."
"Really? Then that means…" Kamui began
"Yes. You can finally leave this drafty fortress." Camilla smiled "You must have been so lonely all this time…separated from the rest of the world…"
"I can finally leave?" Kamui gasped with joy in her eyes
"Yep! You're really excited, aren't you?" Elise asked
"Dose this mean I join you guys as a solider of Nohr?" Kamui asked
"We will discuss the details of that when we reach the capital. For now, let us depart." Xander said as the five headed inside.
Back in the mountains:
"Their heading inside. Guess I won't be able to watch anymore." Silas sighed. "Best get out of here. I'll check some of the neutral areas for any Dusk activities." Silas glanced back at the fortress. "I wonder if Kamui has ever had any nightmares of what really happened all those years ago? Probably not since she looked so happy and content. Makes me wonder what she will think when the truth comes out." With that Silas packed up and headed towards the boarders of Nohr.
Inside the Fortress:
The royal family walked up to a woman in a blue and white maid outfit, with blue hair and a white hat.
"I heard that you can finally leave the fortress today Lady Kamui. You must be pretty excited." The maid said. "Gunter asked that I go with you to the capital in order to look after the horses."
"That's great Lilith. I'd miss if you weren't going along too." Kamui smiled
"Are the horses ready Lilith?" Xander asked
"Oh yes. They are really looking excited for this trip. Probably because of all the times that Lady Kamui spent in the stables, they're just glad to go along." Lilith smiled
"Kamui has such a gentle soul. I remember that time she nursed that baby bird back to health that one time." Camilla said
"Ah…" Lilith flinched
"Something wrong?" Kamui asked concerned
"Oh no…it's nothing." Lilith muttered
"Isn't it obvious? Lilith is sad because she is going to miss you." Elise explained
"She's coming with us Elise." Kamui pointed out
"Oh, well maybe she's sad she won't have you all to herself. You really care about Kamui a lot, right Lilith?" Elise asked
"Uh, well…" Lilith muttered with a small blush on her face
"As amusing as this is, it is not wise to keep father waiting." Xander chuckled
"You're right. We should get moving." Kamui said
"Flora, Felicia. You two will remain here and watch over the fortress. Jakob and I will be be accompanying Lady Kamui. We may be gone for quite a while, so be sure to take good care of this place." Gunter said
"Of course. You may rely on us." Flora bowed
"Good luck out there!" Felicia waved
"Thank you. I hope to see you both soon…but hopefully not here." Kamui said with a slight chuckle at the end.
With everything packed up, The Royal Family, along with Lilith, Jakob, and Gunter headed off for Windmire. The capital of Nohr.
Once they left, Flora turned to Felicia.
"It has been a while since I visited home. I plan to do so soon." Flora said
"No problem. Just tell father I said hi!" Felicia smiled
And that's a wrap!
And here it is. The return to the World of Fates! I hope you guys enoy this. Though I will say that in this story, it will mainly cover the prologue and will end with Kamui's decision in Chapter 6. Like I said, this is all to set up Kingdom Hearts 2, which is when things really get started.
Now then, there are somethings to point out:
1) Azura is not Corrin and Kamui's cousin in this. Mikoto's relationship with Arete will be explained in the Fates arc.
2) Takumi is Mikoto's son with Sumergai making him Corrin and Kamui's half-brother through blood.
As for Silas's crush on Camilla, no this dose not automatically mean they will be shipped. (I honestly haven't thought much about Silas's love life and at the moment, not too worried about it) But that is canon as was shown in their A support, so I brought it up as Silas was reminiscing about his experience with the Nohrian royal family
Anyway, next chapter Kamui begins her final trial. Stay tuned
Guest: Kamui or Xion?
Reader 1: That would be more of after the actual war begins (Beyond Chapter 6 of Fates)
Reader 2: That's an interesting guest
