After their shopping spree, Yukiko and Rise met up with everyone that had gathered in the center, standing close to Corrin and Mikoto. They looked so peaceful standing next to each other. After a while, Mikoto went to look at Corrin, flashing a smile.
She then faced the crowd to speak as Yukiko noticed a flash of movement. She saw Corrin's sword fly into the crowd, into the hands of a mirage man. The man grabbed the sword, and injected it into the ground, where it started to glow. A large flash
followed by a loud explosion sound happened as a result. It vaporized anyone it touched, and sent shards flying where it didn't cover. Rise has enough time to yell "Himiko!" As she cast a barrier around Yukiko and herself. After letting her eyes adjust,
Yukiko heard a scream. She looked over towards the source, who was Queen Mikoto. "You're not hurt, are you?" She said sweetly to Corrin. "I'm fine," Corrin responded, tearing up. Mikoto smiled. "I'm...so... Glad..." She used her dying breath, her
time was up. "MOTHER!" Corrin yelled, letting her rage and sadness out. Ryoma came up to Corrin, seeing the carnage, and faced the only man standing. "You!" He boomed as he went to avenge his mother. Yukiko looked back towards Corrin, just in time
to see her transform into something nonhuman. She yelled as her hands turned to claws, and her hair turned white, wrapping around into horns. Yukiko couldn't recognize her after she was done transforming. She was... A dragon. A deadly one at that,
lashing out at the nearest enemy. Her horn tore him up, completely bisecting him. Yukiko assumed battle stance, and fell with all the others backed up behind Corrin. "We must fight our way through." Said a voice Yukiko thought she recognized. She
put her fan - her persona, as she figured out - in front of her, ready to attack. She closed into one, shouting "agi!" As a small ball of flame shot out from her fan. She tossed them at the people across from her, relying on Rise to cover her. Yukiko
went up to the men after their legs were blown out to cut their chest with a fan. Fueled by nothing but rage, she kept going, even though her leg protested her to stop. She kept throwing agi, and slashing her fan at those who stood in her way. She
stopped only when she heard a roar from Corrin, who ran up to the mirage and stabbed him through the chest with her horn. The man cried out, saying something inaudible to Yukiko. In one motion, Corrin took her horn out of the man, and slashed through
his chest. The man fell, never to get up again. Corrin was still rampaging however as a song was sang. "You are the oceans grey waves," followed by notes in a singsong voice. "Azura!" Ryoma shouted, rushing to a blue haired girl approaching Corrin,
only to get blown back by a water tornado. "You are the oceans grey waves, destined to seek life beyond the shore, just out of reach. Yet the waters ever change..." However she stopped abruptly when Corrin slashed her chest with a claw, a shallow
wound, but one that still stung. "Flowing like time... The pa...th is.. Yours to climb," she finished trying to get up. Corrin closed a claw around the girls throat as the girl yelped. "Kill me if you want, but do it as yourself..." The girl said,
sweetly. Corrin edged back, letting the girl free, transforming back into her human form.
"Wh-what happened?" Asked Corrin as she got up. "Agh!" She yelled as she slipped, going to her knees. "Corrin, relax! If you do anything more, I may not be able to transfer you back!" The blue haired girl told her. "Azura... Mother... Everyone... I'm
so sorry..." She said somberly, almost in tears as another man with grey hair approached her. "The Yato." He stated. Corrin looked at him, dumbfounded. "Wh-what?" Corrin asked him. "The Yato, the sword of truth. The one to wield this sword is said
to bring piece and harmony to the world." The man continued. The Yato shook, confused. The Yato, a beautiful golden sword with four inserts on the blade, shook more, and separated from its stone prison. It flew towards Corrin, who caught it in midair.
This moment was short-lived as a ninja came up to Ryoma, panicked. "There is a Nohrian general by the front! He is demanding to see Princess Corrin!" Corrin eyes widened. "It must be Xander!" She stated as everyone ran off to meet this new threat.
"You're not hurt are you Corrin?" Were Xander's first words when he saw her. "I'm fine," Corrin responded. "Thank the gods! We thought you were brainwashed by the Hoshidans." Ryoma ran up to Xander, clashing swords. "Not on my watch! Corrin belongs to
Hoshido, not Nohr!"
"That is ridiculous. Come home Corrin, we are your family!" Xander asked, demandingly.
"This way, Corrin! We are your true family." Ryoma stated.
Corrin stood still. Who should I choose... Where should I go... A million thoughts ran through her mind. She couldn't choose between family... But life hands you decisions you must make. Corrin can not squeeze her way out of this one...
(You must choose as well. This story ends here, and begins anew.
