Alright folks, I've come with another chapter of Gamer of Fate coming toward you...
I really don't have much else to say right now so...
Enjoy this chapter every one.
[[]]
[You are now well rested: 1.5 EXP bonus]
[You're HP has been fully restore]
'Well that's another bonus of actually sleeping.' I thought as I keep my eyes closed, but my consciousness returned to the land of the living nonetheless, 'Just because The Gamer ability means I don't need sleep doesn't mean there aren't perks for sleeping.'
"Look's like he's still asleep." I female voice said, Corrin if I recall.
"Would you like me to wake him up Lady Corrin?" I heard Flora ask.
"Yes, but gently please." Corrin said after a moment.
"Don't bother..." I said with a yawn, "Your talking did that for you."
"Oh, sorry Irwin." Corrin apologized.
"It's fine." I said getting out of bed to see that it was just Corrin and Flora in the room.
"I managed to find a change of clothes for you Irwin." Flora said setting the spare shirt and pants on the table next to the door.
"Thanks Flora." I said with a smile.
"You're welcome." Flora said with a bow.
At that moment Xander came in, "Corrin, get ready we're going to start training in a few minutes." Xander said to his sister before he turned to me, "Good Morning Irwin, I trust that you had a restful sleep."
"A lot more restful than a rocking boat or with my back to a tree." I said, "Bark isn't exactly comfortable on my back and wearing armor so I don't feel the bark is just as uncomfortable." I joked.
"Once you get dressed Jakob can show you where I'm going to train Corrin." Xander said, with a slight smirk on his face.
"You got it, now unless you want to see me in my underwear can everyone please leave." I said.
Corrin, and Flora pushed Xander out and shut the door faster than I thought possible.
"Damn, that was fast." I said before puling off my shirt, undoing my belt, and also finding that on said belt was a medium sized pouch, and pulling my pants off before quickly putting on the clothes Flora brought me, I don't even ant to know how she managed to find clothes that perfectly fit my size.
However before I put my shirt on I saw my Brand on the front of my shoulder, like with the other Brand's of the Branded I've seen in Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn I could tell exactly what it was, just a collection of marks making a vague shape... I think there's a wing-like shape at the part closest to my neck... I'm gonna need someone to make a sketch of it so I can get a better look at it.
"Still, that's something to think about later." I mumbled to myself as I put my armor on... actually, I should probably find ways to explain my Gamer ability.
"Well that's actually easy." I chuckled.
I could write off the fact I attacks don't leave a mark on me as a skin deep regenerative ability as my unique Branded Trait, and the hammerspace inventory as just the pouch on my belt being enchanted. Simple as that really.
Now, with my armor on, my shield on my arm, my lance on my back, my bronze axe in the loop on my belt, I stepped out on the room to find Jakob standing next to the door.
"I'm ready now." I told the butler.
"Excellent, Corrin's training is about to start." Jakob said as he led the way to the place Xander was training Corrin.

The walk to the rooftop was rather silent, seeing as I didn't have a good conversation starter and I didn't want to resort to small talk with someone I barely know... that just get's awkward really fast.
Of course when we did reach the rooftop I saw that Corrin was already sparring with Xander, and she wasn't doing to good at the moment.
Corrin jumped away after getting slashed by Xander, a restrained slash, but it still knocked the wind out of her and left small gash on her side. Corrin put her hand on the wound trying to stop the bleeding as best she could.
"Hmm, looks like that wound needs attention. In that case..." Xander said, I looked to where he was standing and noticed a small glow, then that glow flashed and a small orb shot out and landed right behind Corrin.
" Ah! There was a Dragon Vein here?" Corrin shouted.
"Dragon Vein?" I asked Leo, playing dumb.
"A Dragon Vein is a power that those who have the blood of Dragons in their veins that can be used in certain places to alter the battle field, the one Xander just used is a regenerative point that Corrin is now using to heal." Leo explained.
"So... anyone with Dragon Blood in their bodies can use this?" I asked.
"Possibly." Leo said as Corrin took a few steps toward the healing point, "We know for a fact those with the blood of the first Dragon's can use it, but that's all we know for certain."
"Huh." I said as I saw Corrin's wound heal, "You think it might be possible that someone with Dragon Laguz Blood could use those?"
"If you can find someone of Dragon Laguz blood you can test that yourself." Leo said as Corrin ran back into the fight with Xander, a blow that was just strong enough to knock Xander off his horse.
"Well done Corrin." Xander said getting up and sheathing his bronze sword, "You're getting stronger everyday."
"Thanks, Xander. I couldn't have done it without your, uh, tough love." Corrin said sheathing her bronze sword.
Xander shook his head, "I disagree. I believe you have natural talent. Some day, you could be the greatest warrior in all of Nohr."
Corrin blushed slightly as she scratched her head, "No you're just teasing me." Corrin said.
"You know me, Corrin." Xander said, his face hardening, "I never joke about serious matters. I mean what I say. You could be the one to bring light to our kingdom so long shrouded in darkness."
"Xander... "Corrin said quietly
"Typical. You know that true strength is more than simple swordplay, right?" Leo asked.
"Leo, he didn't mean-" Corrin started.
"Calm yourself, little brother." Xander said, "You really are competitive to a fault. As I've always said, you're a talented mage with formidable magical abilities."
"Hmm. Well, just remember that pointy metal sticks are not the only path to power." Leo said.
"Oh, that reminds me of something I've been meaning to tell you, Leo." Corrin said, a smirk growing on her face.
Leo gave a slightly annoyed look toward Corrin, "Something important enough to derail this conversation?" Leo asked.
"Well...your collar is inside out." Corrin said.
"What!?" Leo cried out as he blushed in embarrassment.
"It would appear someone got dressed while still half-asleep." Xander said with a smirk on his face.
"Ugh! Wh-why didn't you say something earlier?!" Leo shouted as he ran off around a small corner, I couldn't help but laugh at this.
"Haha, sorry, Leo. But that sort of thing is what makes you so lovable." Xander said with a grin on his face.
"Absolutely." Corrin said with a smile on her face.
"Oh man, why can't all royal families be like this?" I mused aloud.
Pretty soon Leo returned, with Camilla and Elise arrive from the other side of the roof.
"Are you all right, Corrin? Did you get hurt at all during practice? If you did, let me know right away so I can take extra-special care of you..." Camilla said as she reached over to pull Corrin into a hug.
"I'm perfectly fine, Camilla. As always, thanks for your concern." Corrin said backing ever so slightly away. I don't blame her really, there's only so much doting that one person handle.
"I was worried about you too, Corrin!" Elise cried out.
"I know, Elise. You wouldn't visit me all the time if you didn't care so much, right?" Corrin said smiling.
Elise giggled, "Heehee... Do you like it when I visit?" Elise asked.
"Of course! I'm not allowed to leave this fortress, so visits are all I look forward to!" Corrin said with a smile.
"Then what the heck was going on yesterday?" I asked as Elise tackle hugged Corrin, causing her to spin with the little princess still attached to her waist.
"I managed to convince the others to let Corrin out while all the guards were out." Camilla said warmly.
"I love you so much! I love you more than anything in the whole, wide world!" Elise called out.
"Elise, when do you intend to behave like the adult that you technically are?" Leo asked.
"Probably never." I said chuckling.
"Well, I for one think her cheer is a good complement to this gloomy kingdom, Leo." Camilla said.
"Well said, Camilla. Every one of you is so dear to me. You've all been so patient and kind since I lost my memory... I don't even mind being quarantined when I'm with you. I'm so grateful to have you all." Corrin said with a smile.
Xander smiled at the warm scene, "We are grateful to have you as well. But, Corrin, I have some-"
Camilla however cut him off. "Let me tell her, Xander! We have wonderful news, Corrin! Father asked us to take you back to the capital!"
While Corrin gasped in delight Xander turned toward me, "You're welcome to come along yourself Irwin." Xander said.
"Thanks." I said, "I guess I am coming with you, it'll be nice to see what the capital of Nohr looks like."

After a few minutes of walking through the Fortress we soon found ourselves at the stables in the front of the castle, the old veteran knight of Nohr, Gunter, had joined us sometime along the way.
"I hear you can finally leave the fortress. You must be very happy, Lady Corrin, Gunter has asked me to go with you to the capital so I can look after your horses." Lilith said.
"Glad to hear it! I'd miss you if you weren't coming along too." Corrin said happily, it seemed like she restrained herself from hugging Lilith at that moment.
"Lilith, are the horses ready?" Xander asked
"Yes, milord. Everything is ready, and the horses seem exited for the trip. They are all very fond of Lady Corrin. Probably from all her time in the stables..." Lilith said.
"Our Corrin does love animals. Such a kindhearted soul... Why, she even nursed an injured baby bird to health one time!" Camilla said fondly.
This caused Lilith to gasp slightly.
'You were that bird Lilith...' I thought, I had to hide a quick frown though, 'But how the hell did everyone mistake a small dragon for a bird in the first place?'
"Lilith, is something wrong?" Corrin asked getting a little worried for her friend.
"Oh...no. It's nothing." Lilith said quickly.
Elise was the one who spoke up, "Isn't it obvious, Corrin? Lilith is sad because she's going to miss you!"
"Umm Elise, she's coming with us remember?" I reminded, "She just told us that less than a minute ago."
Elise blinked once, "Oh, right! Well then, I bet she's sad 'cause she won't have you all to herself anymore. You've always been especially fond of our sister, haven't you, Lilith?" Elise asked.
"I, er-" Lilith stammered.
I decided to spare Lilith before Xander could, "Listen as much fun as it may seem to tease the stable hand, we have a King we need to go see remember?" I said.
"Yes, let's go!" Corrin said quickly, also wanting to spare her friend, (And sister on her birth fathers side... sorta.) from further embarrassment.
"Flora, you and Felicia will remain here to watch over the fortress." Gunter said, taking control of the moment, "Jakob and I will accompany Lady Corrin." Gunter said. "We may be gone for some time. Take good care of this place."
'That's going to end up being an understatement Gunter.' I thought.
"Of course! You may rely on us." Flora said.
"Safe travels, Lady Corrin!" Felicia called.
"Thank you. I hope to see both of you again soon...just not here!" Corrin said as we left.

As we walked toward the city of Windmire, more specifically castle Krakenburg (Who comes up with these names?) I found myself observing Camilla's Wyvern as it walked beside her.
"Never seen a Wyvern before?" Camilla asked as she stepped closer to me.
"Not really no." I said, "Back in Tellius the Dracoknights didn't ride Wyverns, instead they rode full on Dragons."
"Oh... that's interesting." Camilla said.
"In Tellius a Dracoknight can train themselves into a Dragonmaster, then into the Dragonlord." I said, "They're terrifying opponents to face in battle, although they are mostly seen in the Daein army while Begnion and Crimea usually rely on Pegusai for their aerial combat."
"Are there any Dracoknights that come to you mind when you think about them?" Camilla asked.
"Just two." I said, "A girl named Jill and a man named Haar."
"So I guess there aren't too many good Dracoknights out there huh?" Camilla asked.
"Well, not too many that survived the Mad King's War." I said, "In fact from the stories I heard about Haar, he was lazy as all heck, but when the guy actually got into a fight it was nearly impossible to combat him with physical strength alone."
"Hmmm." Camilla hummed, slightly interested, "Sounds interesting, you'll have to tell me more later." Camilla said, "But... what's this about the Mad King's War?"
"That's... a story I don't think I want to tell at them moment." I said a little unnerved.
Honestly the last thing I want to talk about on the way to King Garon was to talk about King Ashnard. Garon may be possessed by Anankos at the moment, but I don't think Garon ever went or even thought about going to the length Ashnard went to secure his throne.
Seriously Ashnard wasn't even possessed and yet he committed mass murder of his family just to get himself the throne of Daein.
"Alright, we can talk about it later then." Camilla said as she went over to her wyvern.
