Chapter 3 already? Are you getting that good?

Well, I have to say, my days at that call center have been quiet a ride and oh boy... I just need time to come up with an interesting chapter. By saying this, I'm sort of good at writing Fire Emblem stuff, but I'm getting better. Slowly but surely.

Enjoy the chapter! ^w^

Soleil was starting to grow tired, they walked around ever corner and every building until someone whispered at them from a distance. Shigure stopped and turned around, he saw a figure with a staff standing there.

"Who is that?" Shigure squinted his eyes and leaned a bit to get a closer look.

"Do you want a place to stay?" The figure asked, his voice sounded quite like Dwyer's.

"Who are you? Come on out!" Soleil shouted as Shigure covered her mouth with his hand.

"Shh... We don't need to get all of the locals to look at us as if we are crazy. Let's go over and talk to him." Shigure gestured with his other hand. Soleil nodded and started walking up to the figure slow, she poked him.

"Dah! Not there!" The figure leaped up and tripped over something hard, it fell into some light as it was shown that Dwyer was the shadowed figure. He looked up at Shigure and Soleil and surprise.

"Dwyer!?" Shigure and Soleil gasped in unison. Surprised that he was there, they offered to help him up.

"What are you doing here?" Shigure kept a good grip on his hand.

"Me? Oh nothing, I was just exploring this world. Nothing of the importance to me, I think I will be heading back home." Dwyer couldn't help but pretend like life was normal for himself.

"Did your parents kick you out too?" Soleil pouted.

Dwyer sighed, he looked down at the ground for a while before turning to face Shigure.

"I was kicked out... My dad thinks it's too dangerous to live with him. He kicked me out of the castle before he went to tell your parents the news that aunt Corrin had." Dwyer sighed, he held his staff tightly as if he was going to trip and fall at any moment.

"Dwyer, it's okay, we are together, right?" Shigure pointed out the facts. Dwyer only sighed and gave the artistic kid a gloomy look on his face.

"You don't understand, being in dark places, it makes me feel so depressed." Dwyer replied, not wanting Shigure's advice.

"You know, if you let us stay we will tell you our side of the story." Shigure smiled, trying to cheer him up. Dwyer finally gave him a warm smile.

"Don't worry about it... Follow me, I found a place for us to stay, but I gotta ask Chi-chi first." Dwyer ran towards an old building and went downstairs. Shigure and Soleil waited outside. They didn't want to get so close to the building without permission.

Shigure finally heard a person crying, he turned to see a young boy wearing armor that looked like Corrin's armor. He tried to shake the thought out of his mind, but he couldn't. That boy looked like Corrin's son! Was it really him?

The boy didn't look at him, instead, he continued to sniffle and cry. He was really upset about what happened. It made Shigure sigh and slowly make his way over to the young boy. Soleil's eyes moved as she turned and saw her big brother walking up to the boy.

"Hey! Aren't we supposed to be waiting here?" She called out, but gasped when she saw the boy. She realized it was Corrin's son.

"Hey, are you alright?" Shigure placed a hand on his shoulder. The young kid looked up at him, he looked scared.

"N-no... I'm not okay, mother told me to run here and I don't know if she's okay. She told me to get out of the castle and not to return!" The boy sobbed, Shigure pulled him into a hug, he rubbed his hand through the kid's hair.

"It's okay... I'm here now." Shigure was trying to comfort him.

"Kana!" Soleil shouted his name.

"What?" The kid turned as saw Shigure's sister.

"Kana! It's you! I wonder what your mother said to you. Did she kick you out as well?" Soleil was now asking him.

"Yeah, can I say with you guys?" Kana sniffled, he forgot about who Shigure was, but he remembered Soleil quite well. Finally Dwyer came out with his maid, Chi-chi.

"Hey, you kids need to come inside! Before it gets too cold!" Chi-chi shouted, she was a chubby young lady who loved children. She even allowed them to be apart of her family.

"Come on, you all need to come inside. Also, Shigure, Chi-chi might have something for you." Dwyer faced him.

"Really? I wonder what she has for me..." Shigure was thinking of more books and art scrolls that he could draw on when he wasn't singing songs.

Once they were inside Chi-chi's old building, they all took a look around. Chi-chi signaled Shigure to follow her. Shigure willingly did so. She took out a box, it was moving and shaking. She handed it to Shigure.

"Now, Shigure, this present is for you. Dwyer was the one that found it and thought you should have it." Chi-chi explained. Shigure was eager to open up his gift. After getting all of the wrappings off of the box, he was about to open the lid, but a young peagasus's head popped out, making Shigure fall to the floor.

He heard the sound of a horse, but it was the baby pegasus that was making sounds as it started kicking. It touched it's nose to Shigure's side. Shigure sat up and met the little one with awe.

Soleil, Kana and Dwyer came into the room and saw Shigure's present.

"Do you like him?" Dwyer ginned at him.

"Ooh! Can I have him?" Soleil ran over to the pegasus and hugged it, but it kicked at her and huffed. It was attached to Shigure, it knew he was very gentle and light with others.

"I wish I can have one too!" Kana finally felt better. He stood next to Dwyer.

"There was only one like that out here. It was injured from getting hit with arrows but Chi-chi and I were able to heal him a bit." Dwyer added. He flashed his staff in front of him.

"So you're a healer and you never told us?" Soleil gave him a playful look, she wanted to tackle him to the ground and tickle him, but Shigure blocked her way.

"Not today Soleil!" Shigure playfully laughed.

"And why not? Do you wanna take this outside with that pegasus you got?" Soleil challenged him.

"Now now, children, there will be more time to play tomorrow. It's bed time now." Chi-chi said as she showed them to their room. Kana yawned, he was tired from walking,

Shigure was given a big nest to sleep in, but he was a bit too little for it. His pet snuggled up next to him and drifted to sleep. Shigure smiled and rubbed the little pegasus. It huffed in happiness while it was resting. Dwyer and Soleil started drifting to sleep in their nests as Chi-chi blow out the candles and wished them a good night.

3 years later...

Shigure was now 14 years old, he was taller than his mother would have been and Soleil was only 11, she was taller than Kana by 2 inches. Kana was 8 and he's grown attached to both Shigure and Soleil. He was creeped out by Dwyer but he was able to tolerate him.

Shigure wrote to his mother but didn't realize that she was coming over to visit him and bring him gifts. Shigure's pegasus grew much taller and he was ride-able, but for one person. His pegasus's name was Joseph.

"Ah, she is coming today. I better keep an eye out for her because Soleil will got nuts over her.

Shigure peaked out from the entrance of the building to see his mother, looking through town for them. He came out with Joseph and waved to her. Azura turned and saw her son, she smiled and slowly made her way over to him.

"Oh Shigure, you've grown quite so much since I last saw you. How is everything? And is Soleil okay?" Azura sounded worried, she didn't want to start things.

"Soleil is fine, she's with me and Dwyer!" Shigure replied, he was so happy to see his mother.

"Oh, I'm glad!" Azura sounded cheerful. Joseph came up from behind and licked Azura's face.

"Hey!" She placed her hand over her face.

"Oh, I guess I haven't introduced you to my pegasus. His name is Joseph." Shigure got on top of him.

"It looks like he's gonna stay attached to you for a long time." Azura walked over to his ride and placed her hand on it's side.

"He is." Shigure nodded when he heard his sister calling out to him.

"Big brother! Can I ride too!?" Soleil almost tripped as Azura caught her in time.

"You better be careful." Azura giggled. Soleil looked up and saw that it was her mother.

"Mother? What are you doing here?" She was confused, she stood up and dusted herself off.

"I'm here to give you all your gifts. Jakob will arrive shortly." Azura gave her a smile.

"What about father? Why didn't he come?" Soleil huffed.

"I thought you were upset with us." Azura shrugged.

"I was... But I'm fine now!" Soleil began to smile.

"Oh, Laslow..." Dwyer rolled his eyes, he was standing behind them the whole time. He chuckled.

"That's uncle Laslow, you need to respect him, Dwyer." Azura patted him on the head, earning her a light bop on the head with his staff.

"Please, don't touch my hair..." He sighed. Azura ignored him and shoved him near Joseph.

"Don't be a smart one!" She giggled.

Dwyer made faces at her as he finally turned and went back inside. Shigure and Soleil then looked at each other.

"Oh and mother, I like other women, is that okay with you?" Soleil grinned.

"And where is this all coming from all of a sudden?" Azura looked puzzled.

"I just like other women, I find them cute!" Soleil chuckled.

"Oh, I forgot, she has a love for other women... The other day she couldn't stop begging me to take her out. She wanted to date this women who looked young but was seventy years old." Shigure face palmed.

Corrin finally arrived with Jakob and Ryoma behind her.

"Ah, it's a nice day to be out, right?" Ryoma looked at the daylight of the Deeprealms, it was a calm place for the children to be.

"It is, it's usually dark, but it looks beautiful." Corrin agreed, Jakob was just there to look for his son.

"I hope my son isn't getting into any trouble..." Jakob thought while walking at a fast pace than usual.

"What kind of trouble can he get into? It's not like those shadow monsters will come here." Corrin looked at the butler, but Jakob swiftly replied to her statement by getting in front of her.

"Those things we fought today were almost headed towards the portal! They know that we have the children here, we have to be serious about this!" Jakob was shoved away by Ryoma.

"Oh please, we took care of them all." Ryoma snorted before Jakob could get back up.

"Sure, sure, believe the princess if you will..." Jakob dusted himself off. They all met up with Azura.

"Where is Kana?" Corrin asked Azura.

"Kana is with us!" Shigure called from afar, Kana came out from behind Joseph and ran over to his mother.

"Mother! You're here! You're alright!" Kana hugged her, he missed his mother over the years.

"Oh, Kana! I didn't want to leave you here but you must stay until I say it is safe for you to return." Corrin warned him.

"Why? Is there something wrong?" Kana sniffled.

"No, I'm alright, it's just not safe. We are dealing with things in the other world. It's too dangerous for you and the others to come back at the moment." Corrin explained without giving the child too much detail.

"Okay. But are you going to visit a little bit more?" Kana gave her the puppy eyes.

Dwyer rolled his eyes and looked at Soleil.

"This kid is just..." He was a slapped by a stick. Soleil smacked his face with a stick.

"Shut it! Kana is fine!" Soleil stood proud.

"And how is everything?" Jakob's voice could be heard. Dwyer hide behind Shigure's pegasus.

"What's wrong, Dwyer? You're father is here." Shigure was confused.

"I can't let him see me like this!" Dwyer whispered, he quickly went inside before his father could notice him.

Shigure turned to Jakob.

"Where is Dwyer?" Jakob gave Shigure a long concerned look as Shigure pointed at the building they lived in.

"He went inside. Find him if you can." Soleil laughed from afar.

"Hey? Are you all forgetting about us?" A voice was heard, it sounded like Xander. Corrin turned to see that Xander was with his son.

"Siegbert has been showing me around this place and it's not bad." Xander smiled, his son was at his side.

"Well, during the day that is. At night, things seem tense." Siegbert felt embarrassed.

"It's nice to meet you guys!" Soleil cheered.

"You already know me!" Siegbert laughed.

"I guess I do! Nah! I know you silly, I'm only kidding!" Soleil chuckled. She felt so relieved that everyone was with them. But she was worried about her father, wasn't he coming?

"Hey, where is father?" Shigure suddenly asked, he saw almost everyone there, but Camilla, Midori, Kiragi and the others were not around.

"Are you looking for me?" Laslow's voice was heard, Soleil couldn't believe her eyes! It was their father and he was with Camilla, Leo, Takumi, Forrest and Kiragi.

"Hey! You made it!" Corrin was happy to see everyone.

"Of course we wouldn't miss a day here!" Kiragi was very cheerful. Takumi finally came to visit him and wanted to meet up with the others.

"Hey Soleil, are you still mad at me?" Laslow walked over to his daughter.

"Yes, I'm a little mad at you, still..." She turned around, her back facing him.

"Listen, I should have told you what was happening... I should have explained this before I wrote the note, okay? I'm very sorry my sweet daughter, can you ever forgive me?" Laslow apologized, seeing if she would come around and love him again.

Soleil was thinking real hard, she wanted to just put all of her feelings away, but she couldn't and being lied to was hard. She wanted to forgive him. Laslow let out a sigh and is about to stand up when Soleil says something.

"I love you dad. I'm sorry for yelling at you. I shouldn't have done that. And I know that you are trying to protect me." Soleil sighed and hugged her father, Laslow was surprised that she accepted him after that day.

"Listen, honey, I will always love you. It's too bad I'm only here for today, but I did get you something." Laslow flashed a present at her, Soleil was very excited as she snatched the box from him.

"What is it, dad?" Soleil was curious.

"Don't open it until I leave. I want it to be a surprise. I picked it out just for you." Laslow winked. Soleil looked at the box for a while.

"Alright, I'll wait until you leave." Soleil chuckled.

Later that day...

All of the parents were leaving for the night as they headed towards the portal. Shigure waved to his mother and father before heading back inside with his family and Dwyer.

"I made my father tea and he is still trying to beat me at it!" Dwyer laughed.

"I've never seen you laugh before. It must be odd to be gloomy all day." Shigure commented.

"Yeah? Well, my father made me this way..." Dwyer sighed, he felt sad after being dumped off and it was going to be hard for him to forgive his father.

"Dwyer, everything will be alright." Shigure looked at him and then he looked back at the presents Azura gave him.

"Hey Shigure, what did your mother get you?" Kana was excited as he entered the room.

"Oh... I'll open it later. I promise." Shigure replied while patting Kana on the head.

"Okay! I'm going to play hide and seek, are you wanting to join me?" Kana asked Shigure another question.

"Kid, I'm dealing with homework..." Shigure grinned.

"Okay then, I'm going to play with Soleil." Kana offered as Shigure continued reading a book.

Shigure watched Kana play with his sister, they were having a lot more fun.

The artistic unit looked up at the night sky, the stars were shining brighter than the sun itself!

"I wonder if we will be able to go home again... I would love to be back at the castle. But this place will have to do for now..." Shigure sighed as he put away his book and decided to head into his nest to sleep. And soon afterwards, Kana, Soleil and Dwyer joined him as they all slept for the night.
