A/N: Woah, got one heck of a chapter. That means one of two things: There is either a sex scene… or there is a battle. Or both…
Canon Name = Nickname: Corrin = Lupus. Velouria = Vella. Keaton = Keaty. Setsuna = Seta. Hinoka = Hina. Sakura = Saku. Subaki = Superman. Ryoma = Red. Selkie = Silky. Kaden = Ka-da. Orochi = Viper. Takumi = Tako. Lastly, only Selkie/Silky refers to Corrin/Lupus as Lu-pu.
Consort: Don't worry, there is plenty of room for interpretation. Keaty's calling for things to be done that he hasn't done before, or rather, no other Wolfskin would call for. I doubt the Wolfskin would do anything too extreme… he's just starting out with what could be considered 'tactics' and they're getting their first set of orders. If there is any doubt or any room for assumptions, then the pack will come first. The pack can help out, but unless Keaty explicitly specifies how to do that, they aren't going to do it on their own.
On Vella's side of things, yep. She could end up being the strongest of the pack whenever Lupus is involved. But...
She's displaying similar signs of what went on in the 'Conquest' Keaton/Corrin chapter of 'Asserting Dominance'. She has an irrationally obsessive need to be around Lupus and if it isn't addressed, then she'll definitely fall down that same path. Lupus recognizes that Vella is going too far with it, and she would probably be the best at toning her possessiveness down.
Le Cool: A very bad idea is what it would be. I'm afraid Keaty wasn't kidding when he brought up if he ordered an attack on them. It doesn't matter that they could be family, they are humans, and the hate for humans runs so deep. Now, add that on top of poachers being much more aggressive, and it will take a serious event for the pack to even tolerate Lupus's family.
Keaty has been noticeably relying on others lately, moreso with Lupus. He's been asking for advice and for different viewpoints, but… but none of the other Wolfskin are really bothered by it. Now, if there were any of the older Wolfskin from the previous den here, then they would undoubtedly bring it up. But, that's not the case, since mostly all of the Wolfskin here are the ones that grew up with Lupus, and there are only about one or two who were brought into the pack. He also reworded his order for the conduit, he now has only two Wolfskin occasionally going over to check up on it, to see if he needs to ready the pack for movement… because if it falls to Nohr, then the barrier might not be supporting this area.
Sure, the pack has dealt with humans before, but those were poachers… usually a few who laid out traps and relied on singling out Wolfskin. But… poachers aren't the real problem this time… it's an army. An organized army who wants this pack dead. These humans aren't relying so heavily on traps, they have numbers and high quality weapons on their side. If the King sends a group or two their way…
Lupus doubts they will make it out alive, especially if those women with axes and scaled flying mounts come in.
...She still has a hard time believing that three women held back the Wolfskin who stayed behind.
But, that's not what is mainly on her mind right now, no… Keaty, the alpha, can handle the pack. Lupus needs to focus on Vella… and by Vella, she means her Wolfskin's sister literal obsession with Lupus. Before she left for Hoshido, Lupus thought what Vella did was 'normal' for human sisters, but both Hina and Saku proved otherwise. Her constant need to be with her sister needs to be slowly lessened, she needs to do more than just stick by her sister's side and do everything with her…
She's hurting the pack this way.
But, how should she handle this? What can Lupus do to get Vella to have some distance? Being too forceful will undoubtedly cause problems. How can she wean Vella off of her? To introduce a set of human rules to add onto human behavior? Or maybe she's just overthinking it? How hard could it be to ask her to do some tasks without her? With that in mind, Lupus turns over to her sleeping form. A Wolfskin body that is, quite literally, pressed up against her.
And in other news, female Wolfskin go into heat.
Lupus pinches her nose and sighs. "Vella?" She suddenly asks, "I wanna get up." Grumble, gripe, Vella doesn't let go. "Vella~! I gotta pee…"
"Mmggk…" She sleepily replies, letting go but not really waking up. Now free, Lupus exits the den… and heads for Keaty's instead. No, she doesn't have to pee, but Vella's obsession is getting really bad.
In short, it won't be that long until Vella notices her sister hasn't returned yet, and will most likely be on her way.
"Keaty?" Lupus pokes her head into his den.
"Yes, Lupus?" He quickly replies.
"Wanted to talk." She steps into the den regardless.
"For?"
"Could you get Vella some tasks to do without me?" She decides to get straight to the point. "After the time spent with my family, I realize that Vella isn't acting the way a sister should."
He doesn't immediately respond, but even when he did, "Can't." His mood shifts… concerned?
"Brother…?"
"That… 'conduit' that the other scouting party saw?" He starts off, "It's already been torn down."
Tick, tock. It took Lupus a few seconds to properly 'get' what he said, "Wh-what?! It hasn't even been a day since the last one!"
"We can't stay here." Now he is understandably irritated… angered, even. "And… I don't know what we are going to do if this 'barrier' drops. We can't handle those humans again and again."
"When are we leaving, then?"
"Tonight." He supplies, "Maybe… maybe if we move at night, it'll be easier to hide our tracks." Still uncertain, he looks away. His earlier agitation turns to… shame? "I'm going to be blunt… I don't think we're making it out of this. Not with a part of the army determined to kill us, specifically."
"And we can't just keep moving, either…" Lupus nods. "We'll be forced to get off the mountains and onto the level ground…"
"Which will make us easier to kill." He continues. "Poachers have to rely on traps because they can't move around the grounds as well as us… but they also aren't so many."
"But now we're dealing with dozens of humans at once, with those few being clearly stronger than most poachers." Lupus picks up. "And they're really quick, too… there is one of those 'tactic' humans with them, so they can group up together and do things fast."
"And with someone that important, I doubt these 'tactics' will be alone." He growls. "I can't risk sending Wolfskin to find some random humans. We aren't strong enough to hold back those certain humans. We're going to run out of mountain, then we're going to be left out in the open." Shame turns back into anger, enough to where he grips into fists and cuts into his hands. "The last alpha trusted me with the pack, and I can't get us out of this!" His voice raises while his Beaststone glows.
And what can Lupus say to calm him? It's simple, really… she can't. She doesn't have any real solutions of her own. "Did… you ask any of the pack?"
"Indirectly, yes." Keaty… not being direct? "They rely more on me, still. Only a few have just recently started thinking more on their own… two of them are the scouting and hunting party leaders… it's why I chose them. The rest are still trying to learn."
"...sister?" Vella walks in without a second thought. "You're taking a really long time." Yep, just like Lupus guessed. "Nervous… scared? Brother, you too?"
"...not scared." Keaty immediately denied. "What are you doing in here?" He puts on the 'alpha' Keaty.
To which she looks at Lupus, "What's wrong?"
"Just talking with Keaty… kinda concerned for the pack."
"Brother's got it handled… so don't worry."
...Keaty hasn't told Vella? "Can't help it, human side." Lupus quickly supplies… only partially a lie.
"Oh…" Thankfully, Vella agrees. "What can I do…"
"Velouria. Out." Keaty cuts her off, more on edge than before. "Now."
"Brother…"
"You can talk to her later. Leave." His fur bristles and Lupus can practically feel his Wolfsegger form seeping out.
"Hmph…" She scoffs, "I'll see you later, then…" Hurt, sad.
"Keaty?" Lupus asks when she leaves. "You're really stressed." And it can't just be the… "How much human stuff are you trying to learn right now?"
"Only a bit."
"Keaty…" Lupus starts, unconvinced.
"Small talk. Asking. Getting help. And the… 'tactics'." He admits.
"That's way too much at once." She points out the, what is hopefully, the obvious. "And the 'tactics' is way past us. You're overworking yourself, and it's going to hurt the pack."
"I'm the alpha, Lupus. I'm the one we rely on."
"That's a lie." She points out, "You rely on Dadaan and the scouting party leader to command their groups. You rely on me to help the pack with the human things. This isn't just the alpha anymore, Keaty."
"I know that!" And now he's contradicting himself. "And…" He groans. "I'm just having trouble, alright? Happy!? The alpha isn't as confident as he should be."
Lupus takes a step back, suddenly overwhelmed with his attitude. "Keaty? Maybe we should talk about this later?"
His Beaststone finally stops glowing, he takes a breath, and nods. "Right… leave." Unlike Vella, Lupus turns and leaves without a word, opting to obey the order without question… just like things 'used' to be.
So many things to work through… and all of this while they have a number of humans set on killing the pack. No wonder Keaty is so worked up.
Lupus couldn't even have a minute to herself before Vella was already coming to her, a satisfied smile on her face, "Sister!" She immediately takes to hugging, with her tail wagging rather wildly.
"Sister." Lupus responds in kind, returning the hug… if with less enthusiasm.
"What's wrong?" She quickly picks up.
"Getting a bit overwhelmed. A lot of things happening." Now that she thinks about it, she's not surprised Keaty didn't tell Vella any of this. Who knows how violently Vella would react if she thought that Lupus would be in danger? Besides… one of the weakest of the pack held his own against the stronger, older males when it came to human ideas. How much power would that give Vella? A Wolfskin who was on par with Keaty before his Wolfsegger form. Vella is probably the second strongest in the pack right now… a bitch is the second strongest. It's usually several males that hold the top positions, but not here.
The pack is truly different here.
"Brother will lead us just fine." Stubbornness shows. "Wanna play?"
Now? This isn't the best time, not with the fact they're going to have to leave tonight. She wonders if Keaty had sent another scouting party to find another den. She actually kinda doubts it, if only because of how much he's trying to sort through. "Gentle and slow." Lupus finally replies.
"Chase, then?" Vella tilts her head.
She nods, "Chase."
Oh… does Lupus need to work on her endurance again. She is extremely thankful she wanted to go slow and gentle. Lupus ended up giving in within a much shorter time than she usually would. Her heart's racing, her breathing is coming out quick, and she is just… tired. So, for now at least, she's resting on Vella's body, content with just lying down. Especially when she starts stroking her hair. "Mmm…" Lupus hums.
"You haven't been running as much, have you?" Well, the answer is obvious. "Humans must be lazy, then."
"They don't have a reason to move as much as we do, Vella." Lupus counters, if a bit defensi… of course she would be defensive! Her blood family are humans, and she cares for them just as much as the pack. She soon groans, conveniently in time for a well-placed scratch. Why do things have to be so difficult? Why does she have to feel so torn between the pack and her family? Why can't everyone just be together?
Why is she already feeling homesick… again?! It's not fair!
"What were you talking about earlier, with Keaty?" She instead prods. "He's been really tense lately and he won't say why."
Lupus would have responded to that question, had she not felt like something was… off. "Uh, sister?" She raises her head, her ears twitching. Vella seems to have picked up on Lupus's concerns. As such, the two are completely silent. In fact, the entire pack was silent in that moment. Why?
There is always some sound outside of the den. Especially the birds, the birds are never quiet. "Move!" Keaty is the first to sound out, perhaps recognizing whatever Lupus can't. All except for Lupus immediately start moving. Simply put, it was her human side holding her interest. No! She has to move, her brother, the alpha… A Wolfskin fell from out of the nearby trees, his body has been pierced several times over with well-placed arrows. One near his foot, one coming from out of his eye, a third in his neck. A second one soon follows, his fur burnt in several spots, but this couldn't have been a normal fire. "Lupus, move!" Keaty repeats.
She snaps out of her trance and follows his order… right as an arrow zipped by her head. Had she not moved, she would have a new wooden appendage sticking out of her head. "That's right… run." She turns her head for the briefest of moments, spotting a single archer twirling another arrow in his hand. "It makes it much more… fun." White hair, an eyepatch, and one sinister looking smirk on his face.
Lupus focuses on the area in front of her. "K-Keaty…?" She pants.
"Don't recognize him." He quickly answers, before noticing how relatively tired she is. "Lupus." He firmly states.
"Played some…" She admits. "Not as fit." He doesn't need to voice his disapproval. She knows what he would probably ask… why now? He just told her that the conduit fell… which means the humans could be encroaching soon.
"Sister!" Vella comes into view.
"Change direction!" Dadaan calls out, "Fire on our left!" A fire, now?! How? Keaty lets out a deep growl.
The pack shifts to the right in response. "Elfire!" ...Huh? No more than a few seconds later, the trees behind Lupus burst into flames.
…
The pack is being lead into a specific spot. "Br-brother…"
"We don't have another direction, Lupus." He seems to recognize it, too. "We'll burn if we turn now." Which is more of a problem for the Wolfskin due to their fur.
"Arcfire!" Another word sounds out, causing the trees to their right to start burning, effectively turning the path into a straight line…
And into a clearing. However at this point, the pack has stopped. It doesn't take a mastermind to figure out what went on. Especially since there stands a group of humans in this clearing. In the dead center stands a woman, long purple hair, enough to cover most of her head, brushes it aside to reveal murderous eyes. "Oh, that was far too easy…" Contrary to her dangerous scent, she sounds like she's ready to cradle a pup.
"Took them long enough…" Another woman, red hair, done in twintails long enough to reach past her waist.
"On your orders…" A third woman, short light-blue hair, with a dead expression. And among these three women stood two of those dragon mounts.
"Those are the three." Vella harshly whispers.
A massive axe lies in the purple-hair's grasp. A sword and small shield for the red-head. A slightly smaller axe for the light-blue hair. "Just a pack of wild animals, with no real grasp on real battle tactics." The purple hair continues. "A few minor hazards and they run down the only safe route… right into an even more dangerous area." Her eyes scan the pack, before landing on Lupus. "And there she is. You must be Corrin."
Lupus startles, but manages to stay silent, "She's Corrin?" Red hair, "Hmph."
"Sister?" Vella whispers.
"I don't know them."
"I'll admit, you are cute." Purple hair smiles, "It's a shame father wasn't able to bring you to us. I would have loved to have someone like you to spoil…"
"Lady Camilla…" Light-blue hair. "We need to make this quick."
To which Camilla tuts, "Now now, Beruka. We have the surroundings cut off…" She says, as if she thinks she can't be heard.
"...understood." Is all Beruka replies with.
"Let's just get this over with!" Red hair. "It's humid, my hair's drying up. It's going to take a long bath to get my shine back!"
"Selena dear… I'll be sure to buy you some extra special shampoo when we get back, alright?" Camilla turns to her. "But, I agree… this mountain air is not agreeing with my hair, either." Whatever careful and caring tone in her voice leaves, "Orders are orders… and we have a pack of wolves to kill." She winks at Lupus, "Nothing against you, darling."
"Keaty?" Lupus asks.
He responds by shifting into his Wolfsegger form… the pack follows suit with their Wolfskin form. Lupus brings up the tail end with her own dragon form. No vocal orders are issued as the pack closes in. Camilla is right, there is nowhere else to go. Smoke rises from all directions.
So, even if the pack does somehow end up killing these three women, they'll be trapped in a ring of fire. Lupus gulps as she faces the fact… they aren't going to survive this. "Fire!" Camilla exclaims, sending out a ball of fire at the pack, forcing them to split. The two dragon mounts screech as they break off, taking to the air and swooping down from the sides. Despite their bulky bodies, they prove to be very quick, lowering themselves just long enough to strike, then back into the air. Camilla sends out several more fire spells, scattering the Wolfskin even more.
They simply can't afford to be hit by even one… their fur would be consumed by the flames. And without a proper means to get rid of the flames, that Wolfskin would have to break off from the pack, lest their flames spread to the others. But, there is also another problem of the pack avoiding the fire… as the grass around them starts to catch flames. Lupus quickly thinks things over… she's the only one without fur, so… "Fire!" Camilla shouts once more, but this time? Lupus grits her draconic maw as she takes the brunt of the spell.
"Sister!" Vella roars.
Burns, hot, so hot, but her scales keep her from roasting. At least… a Wolfskin wasn't hit. At least the ground isn't burning more than it is now. Lupus is willing to take the hits. Something Camilla seems to have picked up on. "Oh, do you like the heat?" She coos with a murderous look on her face, "I'd be happy to share some more. Fire!" Another ball is sent straight towards her, and she lowers her wing to prevent her from being hit in the same spot. Hot, hot, hot. She can feel the sizzling, the heat of the spell spreading through her.
She won't last long against more of them. Camilla doesn't seem to care as she sends another one. The two dragon mounts as well as those other two women are holding back the pack just fine. That is, until a select few Wolfskin land their first real hits. Vella is obviously one of them, hers strong enough to nearly shatter the shield Selena was using… a feat major enough to have the red-hair to shoot a look of disbelief. Dadaan is the second, cracking through Beruka's defense by slamming into her arm. Keaty's the third, yanking one of the dragon mounts as it swoops down, before effectively snapping its head with a single, sickening crack. Which had to have been Beruka's, as she lashed out at Dadaan, with enough force to stagger him. He quickly pulls back to have another Wolfskin take his spot.
A fourth fireball hits Lupus, this time on her other side. By now, she's panting, not from excess running, but from the sheer heat. Her vision is starting to blur from the steam surrounding her body. Hot, hot, so hot… She stamps on the ground in an attempt to focus herself. "Now see, had these wolves let father bring you to us, we wouldn't be fighting right now." Camilla takes a moment to say, "I would have given you all of the affection you could possibly handle and then some… but, that just isn't the case, now is it? You have made yourself an enemy of Nohr… a threat to my family. And no-one hurts my family." A short pause, "Fire!"
In response, Lupus opens her maw as she felt some sort of pressure build up. Right before the fireball was about to slam her on her face, it… fizzled out? No wait… water? But, it isn't raining. Not that a simple rainfall could stop something like that. A moment later and she realized that water came from her. "And the pack is my family." Lupus responds in kind, that pressure building up again. "I won't let you take them from me!" Camilla, not being bothered by the fact Lupus stopped her fireball, shoots another one. So in return, Lupus lets out another water stream, this one going much further and faster, enough to pierce the fire and eat straight through Camilla's armor.
"Lady Camilla!" Selena quickly shouts, cutting a gash into Vella.
A howl soon follows, Beruka strikes… wait. No, she isn't wielding an axe right now. The Wolfskin that was surrounding her has backed off. Two, three lie dead around her. Lupus isn't a beast herself, but she recognizes that distinct fear, as a scent fills the air. Not death, not blood, but a toxin found only on a single type of weapon.
Beruka pulled out a Beast Killer, though it seems to also be shorter than the average lance that it's usually made with.
But, there's also nowhere to run.
The blank expression on her face hasn't changed as she swings it around, forcing the surrounding Wolfskin back through sheer fear. Beruka has already proven to be far stronger than most humans… and now she's wielding a Beast Killer. It's only natural to keep some distance. "Focus, dear." Camilla took that time to charge at Lupus. "Beruka, Selena… do be a pair of sweeties and take care of the rest." She brings her axe down on Lupus, who barely manages to avoid it. Lupus gets in a stray hit with her tail, but it doesn't do nearly as much as that water stream. "Oh, how I longed for another sibling…" She suddenly states. "And when father told us he was going to adopt a little sister? I couldn't have been more excited!"
"I was stolen from my father!" Lupus growls.
"And these beasts stole you from us." She smiles, "We would have given you a much better life. There would have been no need to work yourself so hard."
"You humans have enough resources to laze around all day." And unlike the other times, Lupus feels no regret for saying 'you humans', "The struggle is what makes the packs strong. You humans have to rely on traps and poisons."
"And yet here we are, fighting you head on." She points out.
"She has a Beast Killer."
"And I don't. Neither does Selena. And our Wyverns don't have toxins on their claws." Her murderous smile has yet to fade, "Or perhaps, you just underestimate humans? Perhaps if we had raised you, you would also be as strong as us."
…
She's right. Hina managed to stand her ground against Lupus after just a few matches. Takumi has a precision and power with his bow that makes the archers, including that white hair one, look like beginners. Ryoma is almost impossibly skilled with his sword. Saizo avoided her attacks for quite a while and Kagero managed to sneak up on her.
And now here these three humans are, standing their ground against the entire pack… just as they apparently did with the previous alpha.
Lupus hisses as Camilla lands her first axe strike on Lupus. "Sister!" Vella rushes, but is held back by Beruka, who now stands guard around Camilla… with Selena beside Beruka. The two women are effectively creating a barrier between Camilla, Lupus, and the rest of the pack.
Lupus can feel the heat of the surrounding fires getting ever closer. It's getting to the point where the smoke is starting to settle in. "Come now, I'm sure you'd rather have a quick, clean death… rather than having your body heat and boil, suffocating from the ash and smoke." Camilla coos again, "And I'm only offering it to you, dear. Let me lay you down to rest, I'll make sure you won't feel anything."
She's... insane! How can anyone talk about murdering another so… casually?! "No!" She quickly denies, "I won't let you kill me!"
"If I don't, the fires will." She rubs the shaft of her axe, "I don't want you to hurt for so long…" Camilla is forced to step back from an enraged strike from Lupus.
"I said. No!" A second… at this point, Lupus is 'cornered', and there is one fact about Wolfskin… or any beast.
A cornered beast is the most dangerous. A third, a fourth, Lupus keeps forcing Camilla to move back. Despite her huge size, she's proving to be fast… maybe even faster than those Wyverns. Slash, rip, Lupus scores a few cuts. It seems she's finally managing to get the upper hand…
Then she's blindsided by Selena, who is being guarded by Beruka. The smell of death rises, more must have fallen to the Beast Killer-wielding woman. "I see…" Camilla frowns. "Then I regret to say it, but it looks like you'll have the worst of the deaths… bleeding out whilst the flames lick and burn your body… maybe you'll even be missing a limb or two? Or how about a wing? Would you mind if I took your horns as a trophy? I could fashion them into something for my family… Ooo, especially your scales."
One moment, Camilla compliments Lupus on her looks, then Camilla talks about how she would have cared for her, then it's giving her a 'clean death', and now she's talking about wanting to use her body as a decoration?! How crazy is this woman!? Another howl. Four, maybe five Wolfskin? She can even pick up Vella's whimpering.
…
It was clear the moment the fires surrounded them that they were going to fall, but she didn't expect these women to be so skilled. Nor so insane. Camilla's right in that regard, Lupus underestimated them. 'Just a few humans'. 'Humans can't be as strong as Wolfskin'. Oh, how wrong she was.
Lupus's earlier vigor has been replaced with dread… fear. If they aren't going to make it… it would be easier to just…
No!
Lupus dodges a strike. She won't give in. If she's going down, then she'll make sure these women go down with her. Lupus lands another deep cut… only to get a slash from that damn red hair. Then another howl as Beruka strikes down a Wolfskin attempting to attack Selena. "Well, it seems you've had it, dear… it's time for me to put you to sleep." Camilla smiles as she brings her axe down once more. Time seems to slow down as Lupus is stilling. Too much blood, the smoke is getting to her.
…
Cling. The distinct sound of metal on metal sounds out. "Princess Camilla…" Rough-sounding voice, sort of tired… Spicy? "Falling to cheap tricks, I see." Hina?! "Sky Knights! On me!"
"Oh-ho. What a surprise… Princess Hinoka." Camilla replies in kind.
Lupus wearily looks up to see her big sister with a weapon that is like a lance… but it has a shield of sorts around the shaft. "Lady Camilla!" Selena calls out, having to hop back from an arrow.
"Princess Hinoka!" Another voice Lupus recognizes, "The eastern side is being cleared out now." Superman?
"Then let's get moving!" Hina shouts, "Our Pegasi won't last long in this intense heat!"
"Lady Camilla?" Beruka calls out. "We…"
"Pull back." She scowls. "Do not give chase." A short pause, "The magical barrier isn't going to stay this weak, we literally can't keep fighting." She whistles as she pulls back from Hina. "C'mon sweetie, you'll need to carry three for a bit…" She coos at her mount.
"Oh no…" Vella starts.
"Velouria. No." Keaty calls her out.
"But I…"
"No." Taking one look at Camilla, Vella nods.
"C'mon." Hina goads Lupus.
"Keaty?" Lupus asks.
The alpha, her brother, stares Hina down. Doubt still lines his scent… he is obviously considering if the pack is being lead into another trap. "Lupus?" He finally asks.
Who looks at Hina. "I trust her. She's my big sister."
Reluctantly, Keaty nods. "Let's go." He simply commands.
The pack shifts back to their normal forms, as does Lupus. However, she stumbles the next step and coughs a mixture of blood and ash. Did she really breathe that much in? "I got…" Hina starts.
"Back. Off." Vella growls. "I'll get my sister." Vella hefts Lupus up gently, then carries her as if she weighs nothing. "Don't worry… I'll get you to safety." She whispers as the adrenaline wears off. Lupus passes out soon after… too drained, too much blood, too much heat and ash.
A/N: Awwwwww yeahhh… The first real fight scene in this fic. How I praise the fact that I finally got to get one up in here. I loooove typing these up!
Oh, and look who couldn't really stay away. Hina's 'big sister' instincts must have been tingling. I'm sure that once she saw that smoke rising, she doubled her speed, but still…
Why isn't Seta there? Even though Superman was? What exactly did Hina accomplish within two days?
Ah, and Camilla… whew. I managed to get the fact out that Camilla would have loved to dote on Corrin, but since she never was there, alongside the fact that she's an enemy of Nohr… I got to show off Camilla's psychotic side. Do note that Camilla only talked about using Lupus's dragon body for decoration and random things, but not the rest of the pack. Oh, did that cause some rather vivid images in my head to pop up.
Oh yeah, and I suppose Niles made a brief appearance... but who cares about him?
Anyway… Keaty ultimately accepting to follow Hina? I wonder what will come of this? On one hand, she did just save the pack… but more importantly, she went out of her way to save the pack. Will that be enough to have Keaty make an exception? Or will the deep-rooted hatred overcome that?
*Announcer's voice* Find out next on… 'Corrin, of the Wolfskin'!
