Chapter 1 - A Fateful Decision
I stood watch I saw the climax of the war unfold. This battle would change the fate of both kingdoms, now and forever. I was on the Hoshido side with the Hoshido Royal Family with their Crown Prince Ryoma leading the charge again the Nohrian assault which was lead by their Crown Prince Xander and the Nohrian Royal Family. It was an all-out battle, and the ending of this battle would turn the tide in war and would decide who the victor would be. And I, once a simple ordinary girl, who had her whole life planned out, was caught right in the middle of it all. I always hated being in the middle, but it does have its good points doesn't it...I was watching on the sidelines when I saw the massive Hoshidian army charging towards them led by Ryoma who wore the true face of a warrior as he charged towards the Nohrian soldiers, katana in hand easily defeating those but avoiding a few with great ease as he jumped over them landing on his feet and a group then tried to surround the Samurai but with a flick of his lighting infused katana easily defeated the lower level soldiers. Ryoma then got up from his kneeling position and glared at Xander with anger and disgust.
"I am Ryoma, The High Prince of Hoshido" Ryoma declared as he pointed his blade at Xander, "Leader of the Nohrian Army, I challenge you to a duel!"
"I am Xander, First Prince of Nohr. If it's a duel you want, it's a duel you'll get" Xander stated as he drew Sigebert out of its sheath with his face cold and emotionless, "because this blade will be the last thing you ever see!"
Xander then charged forward, swinging Siegfried as it managed to kill many soldiers that tried to get close to the Paladin and instead met the cold steel of the black blade. Ryoma did not falter however at Xander's sudden bold action and instead charged towards Xander with incredible speed bringing his Rajinto Katana forwards as he readied himself for the incoming assault. Both warriors glared at each other and jumped forward roaring with their blades meeting to signal, the start of a deadly dance.
As I was watching this deadly scene unfolding an enemy came out to attack me. The enemy caught me off guard and swung his sword at me, and managed to severely cut my arm. I screamed in pain as blood was gushing out of the wound. I put my other hand on the wound to stop the immense bleeding. But it didn't help, then the enemy was about to take another crack at me when Hinoka saved me and cut him down! She went pale when she saw my severe wound on my arm. She panicked and immediately called for her little sister Sakura to come heal me...
Sakura rushed over and got her Baton and healed me. The three of us were relieved, but my arm still felt sore and I felt a shot of pain, but I didn't say anything to worry the others. When the fight between the Crown Prince and the High Prince came to a stand still, and when I was out in the open I caught the attention of the Nohrian Royal Family.
"Sapphire…You're okay!" Xander said as a relieved smile was on his face. "Now return to us, your place is here on this side!"
"NO WAY! Sapphire is a Hoshidan princess! She's our sister!" Ryoma yells out in anger at what Xander had said.
"Silence! Sapphire is an Nohrian princess, she's our sister." Xander reply but not as loud, but enough to make a point.
"Ahh…Sapphire…! I'm so happy that you're alive…" Camilla said with a delicate smile.
Leo let out a small sigh and then a familiar taunt, "She has quite the bad luck, huh. But I'm glad she's ok"
"Sister! You're okay!" Elise said cheerfully with a bright smile on her face as well
"What are you going on about…You guys kidnapped my little sister!" Hinoka cried out in anger as she pointed accusingly at the Nohrian royal family.
"You are the one that's wrong, Sapphire's MY beloved little sister…and I'm not handing her over to anybody…" Camilla responded with a flick of her lavish purple hair as she stared with boredom at Hinoka which seemed to enrage the Pegasus Warrior.
"How dare you!" Hinoka enraged but before she could do anything rash she was stopped by Sakura who had a look of sorrow etched onto her young face which hindered Hinoka's emotions and thereby stopped the woman from attacking.
Ryoma then turned to me, "Don't fall for their tricks, Sapphire. You are our precious family."
Xander shook his head in disgust of Ryoma and then turned to me once more, "Don't listen to them, Sapphire. Come back to us! We can live together as siblings once again!"
"Sapphire!" Ryoma and Xander both shouted at me and I was taken aback at the sudden shift in tone that was suddenly placed upon my shoulders
As my vision started to go hazy, I heard a voice.
"Wake up. Wake up Sapphire!"
