Summary: Corrin has now left Nohr and is now on his own. No help. Just traveling with a bag of food and the horse that Xander gave him. He's on his own now.

Survival.

Day 1

"Take care Corrin" Camilla hugged Corrin last time before his departure "Ill miss you, remember to change your clothes every once a day"

"Yes Camilla im not a child anymore" Corrin said being received a bag from Camilla "Whoa quite heavy eh?"

"Dont worry brother" Xander said "We made sure to prepare a special horse for you in your trip"

"Oh really? well where is it?"

"its in the shed but don't go just yet you need to say your goodbyes"

"Right"

"Also here" Xander tossed a fold clothing to Corrin.

"Oh what is it?"

"A disguise, you'll need it"

"Thanks Xander"

Lifting his bag onto his shoulder he made his way toward his quarters in which he met with his retainer and his butler "Hey guys..."

"My lord" All 4 servant bowed to Corrin giving him a surprise

"Thank you for taking care of me through all these years I've been full of grace for you all" Bowing down towards them he layed down his bag and walked up to all 4 them. Giving all a big hug.

They stood for about a minute or 2 until Flora spoke up "My lord, I think your killing Jakob"

Letting go of all 4 of them. Flora was in fact correct with Jakob as he is gaining back air and is also panting

It was sunset Corrin was to his escape from this terrible castle. Staring at the distance of the path that he assumes is freedom he mounted onto his horse.

"let's go, heyaa!"

The horse made a squee before lopping away from the lords and servants.

"God's protect him." Xander said

9 hours later

He was alone. Cold in the dark. Stars above. Sand below him was sand, far away from his homeland. Corrin thought of his family, his loved ones, and couldn't imagine what they are feeling like right now. It saddens him. It was dim light. Corrin had made a campfire near the forest. Currently, Corrin was in the middle of Nohr and Hoshido territory. The last thing that he wanted is an arrow to the knee.

"I better get to sleep it's going to be a long day."

Rummaging through his bag that Camilla gave him, he found a book with a note on the side. The note read.

"Corrin, use this book as a diary to keep your big sis memory in touch. I love you. -Big sis."

"Thanks, Camilla." Corrin gave a chuckle.

Digging more into the bag, he felt something long yet thin then pulling it out he smiled realizing what it was, pulling the object out of the bag, he saw that it was a makeshift blade with an amber hilt and a steel 7-inch blade.

"And thank you, Big bro," Corrin smiled.

Corrin stood and kicked some dirt onto the remaining fire amber he prepared for bed. A leaf bed to to be exact and laying down, he shrugged a little to get comfortable. Corrin slowly closed her eyes drifted to sleep. Comfortable of where he was at. "Tomorrow is going to be a long day."

Day 6, morning

It's been the 6 days of Corrin's Journey, he was still mounted on his horse going through the plains lands of Nohr. He had made many measures to treat and feed his horse regularly. He sees was just flat plain land or just some local farms and farmers. Corrin wasn't really fond of just seeing plain land for hours opun hours already. He was already starting to get anxious.

"God damn it! I've been seeing the same thing again and again. Is this map even leading me to the right direction?!" Corrin yelled in a tone of anger. The horse stopped looking at Corrin almost saying 'what the hell is wrong is you?'

Having enough of seeing the same thing over and over, Corrin, setting down for camp and mounting off his horse. He looked through his bag looking for the right meals and tools to eat for this afternoon. It was now dark and the sun was threatening to go down the horizon.

Corrin settled up his bed for his journey. Taking out a now rounded shield from his bag he wondered how in gods earth did he not feel or even notice a shield in just a bag. (a/n the bag is the size of an Everlast gear bag)

Corrin gave a confused smile then put the shield to the side. Taking out an apple from the bag. Setting up his equipment and camp, he stood and walked to the haystacks that he has set up for his slumber.

"This will be a long journey." Corrin taking a bite out of his apple.

Day 14

Corrin was running. Running from who you might say. Well, of course, wild animals. Corrin was being chased by a bear, A BIG BEAR to be exact. Corrin was panting and wheezing from the run as he finally escapes from the bear that was supposed to maul his face. Corrin was out hunting for fish out in the stream to find some grub for him and the horse, but he failed to notice that a certain mama bear was growling at him with its vicious roar.

Running to his camp that was in the forest, he immediately threw dirt onto the fire to not cause a forest fire. Grabbed his bag, sword, and shield he mounted on his horse riding in a pace of god's speed and ride outside the forest and continued on riding. He took out the notebook that Camila had given to him and he wrote down with is ink pen

"Note to self, be more aware"

after writing down onto his notes he heard the same vicious growl again.

Day 23

Visiting a small remote village, he mounts off his horse. Using a halter and tie the horse to the pole. He went into the Tavern to see if there's anyone inside as expected there were at least 3 people inside, one looked as to be passed at any second while the other 2 looked like want to be thugs trying to hold thier liquor. Corrin headed towards heads towards the Tavern owner.

"What do you want to drink boy? We have all the drinks that you need."

Corrin walked up to the owner of the bar the owner looked as to be in his 50s or in his 60s. Sitting down he answered.

"What do you want boy? we have all the drinks you need".

"Milk please."

"M-Milk?" the owner looked surprised "why milk?"

"You did say you have all the drinks, did you not?"

"..." putting down the cup he went into the back of the bar disappearing for a second before coming back again with a glass of milk.

"Fresh milk here you go. That will be 7 gold please"

Corrin reaching down into his disguise took out a bag of gold. Catching attention to the 2 thug's eyes.

"7?"

"Yeah"

Reaching into his bag he took out 7 pieces of gold and place them on the counter top.

"Thank you, sir," the old man took the gold and repeated back to cleaning his cup.

The reason why Corrin chose milk out of all things was because of his time with Elise always getting milk for him after the ruthless training. Almost all the time in Nohr, the drinks he drinks daily were at least water or milk. He has never drunk alcohol before, because of Camilla always saying alcohol can make you into a 'bad' person. Yet even though she drank it herself. Now that, he thinked about how in god names did Elise get all of the milk from?

Finishing his drink he got out of the chair he was sitting on and saw two big husky figures suddenly come up to him.

"Hey boy how about you share some of that gold to good old teach!"

The man was obviously drunk as his breath was also stenched with the smell of

alcohol. The man to the right of him was no better the old man looked like he was about to fall down in a second.

"Hey I don't want any trouble with you two just let me pass." Walking towards the door he was again blocked but this time with the man wielding a pocket knife.

"I guess there is no way out of this." Clenching his fist he made a right jab to the armed man stomach, seeing the advantage that he was drunk the man dropped the knife, immediately grab the knife.

"Come here and let's juggle!"

The whole bar was wrecked with furniture tossed from left to right. Broken stools, broken shairs and tables. 2 beaten up men layed on the ground "Well that was easy," he said under his breath.

"You! You ruined my tavern, you imbosol!" A voice called out from behind him

"Now listen here they-" he was immediately cut off.

"I dont care who started it just GET OUT!"

"But-."

"NOW OR ELSE I'LL CALL THE NOHRIAN GUARDS!"

Corrin's eyes shot open hearing the guards. "Ok ok ok, I'll just leave" Corrin walked to the door of the tavern exiting out. Meanwhile, the old man still pissed went into his office and wrote an immediate complaint of what just happen.

Day 27

He could have sworn again that he was being watched but every time he turned it was just the same simple plain road again.

Feel anxious he stopped the horse and halter his horse.

setting camo he started fire and immediately pulled out an apple from his bag. he was running low on food quick.

sitting down next to the fire he almost forgot that he was also in plain sight as the ground around him was completely exposed.

Eyes getting heavy he layed down onto the grass land and slowly drift into sleep "another long dayyyyyy..."

Zzzz.

SQUEE

Corrin eyes shot open as to see 2 men launching himself. Draped in dark clothing were trying to get the hold of the horse. The fire was also out.

"Hey what the hell are you doing!?" Corrin got up and saw the two dark figures suddenly aproach him with both wielding weapons.

Corrin immediately doge the first attack but was punched in the face after the attacker failed the first strike. Jumping a foot away after getting punched Corrin backed a meter away trying to deliver a right shin kick to the ribs of the first attacker but was parried by the second attacker giving a knee strike to Corrin's jaw. Backing away again only to get a good distance between him and his unknown guests.

"huh. I can see that both of you are skilled" Corrin spit some bits of blood out of his mouth "what are you two trying to attain, I know for damn sure you two aren't bandits so who are you? "

Both attacker's didn't say anything but attacked again.

"hey hey hey! oh screw it."

The first attacker came towards him with a kunai head first.

Giving a advantage Corrin immediately cuped the man's right arm. Corrin left hand on his biceps and his right arm cuping the man's forearm. Using the momentum of transfer energy he got the attacker to do a full flip slamming the man to the ground. Taking this chance he took the kunai and got the man into a choke hold with a kunai up to the man neck.

"Stop struggling there is no way out."

The man rasseled a bit more before starting to lose consciousness as the movement only made Corrin use more force.

The second attacker stopped and just stare at the two men. The moon has risen the light has finally been shown, the two were wearing a face mask one has the mask of a Japanese demon while the other has the masked of a skull.

"I dont know you two and I don't want to hurt you both please. " Corrin was pleading not to fight.

The man in the choke hold started to speak before speaking.

"Rinkah don't worry about me just attack him. "

To these word the second attacker came straight at him with a axe aiming to chop his head off.

Having enough he did one final squeez to the man leaving him unconscious. Drop the man Corrin went to meet face to face with the last attacker.

Raising a kick the attacker immediately doge it before realizing it was a double attack. A fist and kick attack. fist coming up it hit the mask forcefully, but remain firm.

"Heh, is that all you got-." A strike to the neck, one blow was all she felt before felling limb and fell.

"I am sorry you force my hands opun you two" looking at his two attacker's he went straight forward to his big and mounted on. Leaving his two attackers.

Day 29

Sounds of galloping were heard, sweat dripping down his cheeks eyes pale and wide like no tomorrow. They had found him. Corrin was being chased by 5 Nohr horsemen. One man was shouting his name with an effort to take him back.

"Prince Corrin! Please stop your horse and come back to Nohr this instant, if you do not stop we will have permission to shoot!" Hans yelled

Corrin was still riding.

"PRINCE CORRIN PLE-!" One soldier screamed

"There's no use for this boy. Alright boys! Bow knights! FIRE!" Hans yelled

Corrin was still on his horse not budging to get off at all. Corrin saw 2-3 arrows pass by his face only to thank the gods that he has a shield to protect his back from arrows. But he knew luck was not on his side. Now crossing a steel bridge he saw that other archers were on the other side preparing their bows aiming at him.

"Prince Corrin, you have nowhere to go please lay down your weapons and come to us peacefully!" Hans yelled as they made it to the bridge, it was wooden platform bridge in which both side of the end had Nohrian soldiers, cornering him.

"What is the boy doing?!"

Corrin preparing his sword and shield he stood behind the horse preparing for what's to come. Yelling a battle cry he shouted with all his might. "NOHRS! COME AND GET ME!" with that single shot, he roars. Nohrian soldiers came rushing to him on the bridge, swords in all of their hands. They don't know the capabilities of his training back then with Garon. Giving a smug, he actually kind of thankful to know what he had learned and is going to put it to good use.

Nohrian soldiers came one by one. Readying their weapons for the killing blow, prepared to attack Corrin. Corrin is holding his shield and sword and the horse is right behind him

He doesn't want to not kill them.

Corrin immediately parried the attack countering it with one move with his blade. He gave a smug bashing the shield into the soldier mouth. For sure breaking 1 or 2 of the soldiers teeth. The soldier fell and was replaced by another soldier. With a howling scream, the soldier dive in sword held high. He did a 360 using the hilt of the dagger and he hit the man squared into his lower abdomen knocking the air out of the man breath air and the guard fell, but Corrin was at a disadvantage. There was just too many guards to handle them all to himself. He then heard a squeal from behind him. Xander horse!

"No!" Corrin yelled

Corrin looked behind him and sees the horse had arrows wound all around it, blood spewing to the bridge wooden floor. Corrin ran to his horse and looked at its condition. "It's dead." Corrin thought. This gave the enemies an advantage as they shot arrows in the air to the ground. He saw this and raised up his shield, but it was too late. One arrow hit his shoulder which led to Corrin losing the grip of the shield. Another arrow after another hit him. One to the thigh, one to the knee, another graze the forearm. Corrin fell to his knees.

"Son of a bitch!"

"NOW, THIS IS OUR CHANCE! CAPTURE HIM!" Hans yelled from behind him.

Corrin was in a panic he did not know what to do. Corrin thoughts popped an idea. Corrin took this chance and immediately gripped onto the railing if this was the only way to get away from Garon he will take it. He prepared himself to jump. Below him was a river. A deep river to be exact he knew that if he were to fall in a certain way he will survive for sure. Limping to the railing he prepared to jump. Then a Nohrian soldier got hold of his foot, "DAMN!"

"My lord!" Then came a horse men in gray clad armor.

"Gunter what are you doing here!" Corrin shouted "You must leave you are risking you life here!"

"It is my duty as your retainer to protect you with my life!" Gunter swooped down onto the soldiers and immediately disposed of them with one swinging with his lance. "Go my lord jump!" one after the other he got rid of one after the other.

"OH NO YOU DONT!" A muculeur man jumped from behind Gunter as both the man and Gunter was about to unleash thier wrath Gunter was seconds late as the man hit the bridge floor, smashing the wooden platform in which Gunter fell through. "Got you, you damn fool!" Hans yelled

"Now my lord!"

"GUNTER!"

Day 30

Corrin gasped and stood from the cold water of the river shore. Corrin took a moment to compose himself before getting the water and sand out of his eyes. He looked like shit. Corrin felt like shit. He has wounds all over his body. He has no weapon for protection and his disguise was falling apart. He has now had nowhere to travel on foot as he doesn't have Xander's horse anymore. . . Corrin's eyes shot open looking around to see where his bag has gone and gave a sigh of relief seeing his bag was right next to him. Grabbing the bag, he noticed that a few things were missing. He lost his map, his compass, and almost all of his food. He only had 2 pieces of bread and an apple.

Corrin gave a grunt. He has no idea where to go and he is surrounded by trees and forests. And to make it worse, he is injured head to toe. Looking at his shoulder and legs, the arrows were still sticking out from him. Corrin holding onto the end of the arrow and broke the end. So, that it won't seem bad. He also did the same to his legs. He knew that taking the whole arrow off will cause a lot of blood to spill and did not want that.

"Damn." he gave one final sigh before standing on foot again ignoring the pain going on. He walked to the thin forest.

Day 31

Corrin was tired. He took off his disguise as the smell of sweat and dirt were too much for him. He was limping with his legs and almost seemed like he only walked a mile. He was out of food and his wounds were starting to annoy him more and more with each step. He was thirsty, hungry, and smelled like piss. Corrin was determined though he kept walking until then he needs to find help or die trying.

"Hungry, thirsty, and tired. I must keep going."

Day 32

His energy was gone. He was so tired. His legs have finally given up on him and his eyes were too tired to even open anymore. Laying there, he was crying with tears fall down his cheeks. "Camilla, Xander, Leo, Elise. damn, just damn it." seeing that he was slowly blacking out he drifted off to sleep.

Day 32 (Night)

"You are the oceans great wave."

"Huh?" Corrin was still on the grass ground.

"Destined to seek."

"Life beyond the shore just out of reach."

Corrin suddenly felt the burst of energy come back to him as if the singing of the voice was calling to him. Telling him to not give up. Standing up Corrin slowly limb to the singing voice. He was getting closer and closer. "So beautiful," Corrin muttered. As he came more closer to the singing he stumbled out of the thick forest and felt water beneath his feet. Leaning down he took a scoop of the water realizing the taste.

"FRESH WATER! OH MY GOD"

His eyes wide open. He was still injured, but that didn't stop he as splashed into the water. He was correct. It was fresh water. Trying to get as many drops into his mouth. Didn't even give time to look up a certain blue girl was looking at him with awe.

"H-Hello." Corrin said with a air of akwardness

"Hello"

Me: WOW. That took an ass long time if I say so myself eh?

Azura: True, but you could have at least wrote some more scenes for me.

Me: Sorry, this was all Corrin this time but next chapter will be yours.
