Day 2! Day 2! I made it to the second day! Sadly, it's shorter than I had hoped. I was honestly at a loss as to what to do, so apologies if it isn't my best.

DAY 2: LIGHT/DARK

Wise men have often said 'It is always darkest just before the dawn", and as he sat on a hill outside the ruins of the Vallite capital, Corrin hoped it was true. The forces he had mustered were resting, although he doubted any of them had got any sleep, Gods knew he hadn't.

"..You seem occupied." A light voice brought him out of his thoughts. He smiled as Azura settled herself down next to him. "Something you want to share?"

"Azura! It's nothing important. Just keeping myself awake." Corrin sighed, before he smiled. "If we will tomorrow, I swear to the Dusk Dragon, I am sleeping for a week."

"..And I swear to the Dawn Dragon I'm likely to join you." Azura joked. "I am not certain whether or not the Dusk Dragon will listen to my oaths now."

Corrin shrugged. "I am no theologian. The Dawn and Dusk Dragons, may they forgive words, do not seem to care. Nohr would have us believe that the Dawn Dragon stole the Light to give to the over-mighty Hoshidans. Hoshido would have us think that the Dusk Dragon is a monster of darkness, and the Nohrian's monsters for following It."

"..And what is it you believe?"

"…Too much Light blinds you. To the truth. To life's true beauty…" His crimson eyes not so subtly fell upon her at those words. "Whilst too much dark hides it. Light and Dark are part of nature. Light and Dark are not Good and Evil. If Dark meant evil, why would be welcome sleep? Do we not rest in darkness? When we do not dream, do we not simply see darkness?"

Nodding silently, Azura rested her head on Corrin's shoulder. She fought back a yawn, before speaking again "..I see….that's nice, I think…I'm tired Corrin. I'm so bloody tired."

"You and me both Love. You and me both..Just tell yourself, one more day. One more fight. Then we can rest."

In silence, the couple watched the sun start to creep over the horizon, its rays bringing light to this, frankly alien landscape that defied all sensible reasoning.

"One more fight then." Azura all but whispered.

"..Aye" Corrin agreed. "One more fight….then I suppose you'll be Queen, no?"

Her husband was grinning. Azura let out a soft peal of laughter, and shook her head. "The crown is not for me. When we win, you will be King."

"My Love, if I am King, you would be Queen." Corrin told her. "I could not have done this without you. You were my guiding Light in this madness, Azura. When we were homeless, friendless and hunted, you kept me going. You kept me sane. I'm not asking you to rule. I wouldn't do that. I'm asking you to help me rule. To be my Light to guide me to the right path, and my safe and sure darkness ensuring I rest."

"….I don't think anyone has tried using 'be my darkness' as a compliment before." Azura grinning teasingly.

"Shush, do you know how hard it is to come of with them after getting barely fifteen hours of sleep in a week?" Corrin smirked. "Besides, when have I ever given you the impression that I am normal?"

This gained a laugh from the bluenette. "True enough. You are certainly one of a kind."

"As are you, Love."

Silence reigned only for a moment.

"You're thinking of comparing us to the Sun and Moon, aren't you?" Azura asked.

"….Maybe."
