Alright folks so I'll admit it, I meant to get this out sooner, but it's here now so lets just move on to some things I have to announce.

1st, Yesterday I managed to get myself an actual copy of Fire Emblem Fates, I picked Birthrights and got some money to purchase Revelations so yay for me, I can actually figure out the shit that goes on in 'My Castle' so I can put them in the story a bit more accurately... Plus the subtle perverted part of my mind is likely to use the Raider Weapons the moment I get them and use them on the female characters, though I will try to resist.

2nd, as many of you people who play FE: Heroes should well know by now... We've got a new Voting Gauntlet going on. Wyvern Rider's Vs. Pegasus Knights.

On the Wyvern Side we have Camilla, Beruka, Cherche, and Minerva, and on the Pegasus Knight's side we have Hinoka, Subaki, Cordelia, and Palla.

Now I'm going to be siding with Wyverns the whole way, First Camilla. Now the reason I'm choosing Wyverns is not because of the Fanservice that Camilla is, rather it's the fact I have a preferance to Wyvern Riders period, my favorite of these riders being Haar from the Tellius Games- And anyone who's played those games knows why, the dudes damn near invincible.

Anyway I've spat out my explanations so I've got a story I owe you all.

[[]]

We all had a good nights sleep... Though I did get a chuckle when I heard that Sakura had gone to Corrin's private quarters to cuddle with her big sister that night, not that I blame her, she's missed her sister.

The next morning we woke up, got cleaned, and got breakfast at the mess hall, in which I actually sat next to Sakura.

"Hello Sakura." I said sitting down next to her.

"O-oh, hello Irwin." Sakura said as she looked at me, "How are you doing this morning?"

"Great." I said, "But I've actually got something that might help you for the time." I added reaching into my pouch.

"Huh?" Sakura asked.

I pulled out, and held out to Sakura, the Spectre card I had gotten earlier, "Here, I figured you'd like having something to use to fight back with."

Sakura blinked, "T-thank you Irwin but... I don't exactly know how to use it." Sakura said.

"Simple really." I said shrugging, "Just throw it at the enemy and watch the magic blast them away."

Sakura nodded and put the card away and returned to eating her breakfast.

Not too long after eating breakfast we returned to the normal world, where the sun had only set half an inch further down the horizon.

"I thought we were there longer... or were we there too long?" Mozu asked.

"No Mozu, time is just different in Corrin's Astral Plane." I explained.

"Oh, I guess that makes sense." Mozu said.

Actually, now that I think about it... I wonder what's going on at Castle Krakenburg, I mean Elise is likely to overhear Garon's conversation with himself/Anankos so... I wonder what will happen now...

[Castle Krakenburg]

Elise had just overheard her 'Father' claim that Corrin was going to be crushed.

"I have to find Xander." Elise said to herself and turned around to try to find her older brother, only to bump into someone else.

"Princess Elise, did you hurt yourself?" Camilla's Mercenary retainer Selena said.

"Oh, sorry Selena, I was trying to find Xander, somethings wrong with father, he said that Corrin would be crushed easily and that the world would be his." Elise said.

Selena closed her eyes before looking into Elise's.

"Elise, I'm beginning to think that might not actually be your father right now." Selena said, "Listen, Beruka and I are heading out to Hoshido to try and find Lady Camilla, despite Garon's orders. I'll warn Corrin for you as well okay?"

Elise smiled and hugged Selena, "Thanks's Selena."

"Ghk, don't make such a huge deal out of it..." Selena said, "Beside's, what kind of father would care so little for his own kids."

[Back with Corrin]

"By the gods..." Corrin panted as we walked up the eternal steps, "How many steps are there?"

"I don't know... However, using the Eternal Stairway is the quickest way to our destination." Azura said as she walked just behind Corrin.

"Corrin, would you like a ride on Marzia?" Camilla asked holding out her hand.

"Yes please." Corrin gasped as she took Camilla's hand.

"Azura, you said that we're heading to Izumo, right?" Sakura asked.

"Yes. It's our best chance of avoiding conflict with Hoshidan forces. Izumo has declared neutrality and won't allow fighting of any kind on their land." Azura explained.

"Somehow I doubt some would follow through with that..." I muttered as the fog thickened.

"Hey... Is it just me or is the fog g-getting thicker?" Sakura asked.

"This fog... it's not natural." I said.

At that moment the fog parted just enough to reveal 'Faceless', which were just Wind Tribe Oni Savages placed under an Illusion.

"Eek! It's the Faceless!" Sakura cried out.

"No, it's just an illusion!" I shouted, I could partially see through the illusion and saw the Oni Savages in the illusion we were in.

"How can you tell?" Kaze demanded.

"Branded, my senses aren't as sharp as a full blooded Laguz, but I can see through the illusion partially." I said, "Their Oni Savage's, Hoshidans."

I could faintly hear a growl of annoyance, just before the Oni Savage's charge us.

"I think they've been placed under the illusion as well." Corrin said drawing her Wind Edge.

'Shit.' I thought, "Disarm them! We'll have to talk this out later is seems."

Faster than I though possible, Kaze and Jakob had disarmed the Oni Savages as I pulled out my new Javelin and began to look around.

"What are you looking for?" Hana asked as she kept an eye on the Oni Saveages.

"The illusionist." I whispered.

[With the Illusionist, A.K.A Iago]

"How the hell did he figure it out?" Iago growled.

"You won't get the chance to know." The Voice of Merdia said as she approached Iago from behind.

"Huh? Wha-!" Iago shouted out as he barely dodged the axe swipe that came from Merdia, then teleported out just as her axe was embedded in the stone he stood at previously.

"Tch, chicken." Merdia grumbled as she made to pull her axe free of the stone, "I'll make sure Irwin and Corrin get a swing at him before I kill him.

[Once again with Corrin]

As I looked around I saw the fog lift, looks like it too was part of the illusion.

"What the- You're not Faceless." One of the Oni Savages said.

"No, we're not." Corrin explained, "We were headed to Izumo when someone placed us under an illusion, as they did to you."

"Who put us under the illusion?" The other Savage asked.

"Garon's tactician, Iago." Merdia's voice shouted out, "He planned to turn the Wind Tribe on Corrin by tricking her into attacking you."

The two Oni Savages looked at one another, "Corrin, correct?" One asked Corrin.

"Yes." Corrin said.

"With this information, I'd like to ask you and your group to come with us to Reppu Castle." An Oni Savage said, "We'd like for you to explain the situation to the Cheiftan Fuga, perhaps he would even offer you some help."

Corrin smiled, "Very well." Corrin said, "Any help would be excellent to have."

'And now I'm going in blind with everything.' I thought.

[]

We were soon at the Reppu Castle, where the Wind tribe Cheiftan, Fuga, asked to speak to Corrin in private.

"There you are Irwin." The familiar voice of Rinkah said as she marched up to our group.

"Good to see you again Rinkah." Kaze said.

"Hey Kaze." Rinkah said, then she looked back to me, "Where's Corrin?"

"Chatting with Fuga." I said hiking a thumb to the small room Fuga and Corrin entered.

Rinkah nodded, "When I saw you all escorted here I was certain you'd gotten yourselves into trouble." Rinkah said

"Well you can thank my Laguz Blood we weren't." I said, "Nohr's tactician Iago tried to get us to attack the Wind Tribe using his illusions."

"Tch, coward." Rinkah said, "The guy dead?"

"Nope." I said, "Although Merdia did make a good attempt to kill him."

"Merdia?" Rinkah asked.

"The woman that knocked me senseless." Camilla huffed and looked at her axe.

"You mean the woman that helped us fight back when Mikoto was killed?" Rinkah asked.

"Yeah, her." I said.

At that moment Corrin stepped out with the bald, and shirtless Chieftain Fuga, along with the Wind Tribe Diviner Hayato.

"Corrin, I hope you and your friends can put a stop to this war." Fuga said.

"I'll do what I can chieftain Fuga." Corrin said, then she turned to Hayato, "And your help will be greatly appreciated Hayato."

"You won't need to worry about me Lady Corrin." Hayato said, "My magic's powerful in it's own right."

'Nah, all we'll have to worry about is you future daughter.' I thought, 'Oh boy that's gonna be an awkward thing we'll have to work around.'

Welp, new goal in mind, prevent Rhajat from turning into the exact same as Tharja, A.K.A. Hex happy stalker dark mage with a crush on Corrin... Oh boy that's gonna be a tough goal.

"Rinkah?" Corrin asked noticing the Oni Savage woman, "What are you doing here?"

"I owe you a dept Corrin." Rinkah said, "Besides, with both Nohr and Hoshido trying to kill you I think you'll need all the help you can get."

Corrin smiled, "Thank you Rinkah." Corrin said, then she walked over to me.

"What's up Corrin?" I asked.

"You said you've collected stories right?" Corrin asked, "What do you know about a 'Seal of Flames'? Fuga said Izana would know more but what do you know?"

"Seal of Flames..." I mused, though I already knew the answer, "That sounds a lot like the Fire Emblem." I said.

"The Fire Emblem?" Corrin asked.

I nodded, "The Fire Emblem, it's appeared in many lands under many different forms and powers." I said, "But all of them powerful, the Fire Emblem of Tellius is also known as Lehran's Medallion, which was used to seal away the Goddess Yune, just for example."

Corrin then pulled out the Yato, "So then, this is the key to the Fire Emblem?" Corrin mused.

"Apparently so." I said, "Though I have no idea what the Fire Emblem is capable of in this land."

"Sister, we need to start getting to Izumo now, the sooner the better." Camilla said.

"You're right, let's go." Corrin said standing up.

[Castle Krakenburg]

"So where do you think we should search for Lady Camilla first?" Selena said as she attached a bag of her provision's onto Beruka's Wyvern.

"Izumo." The silver haired Wyvern Rider/assassin said as she sharped her steel axe, "It's neutral territory, it's were Camilla would likely be the safest from both armies."

"Then let's get going." Selena said, "The sooner we find Lady Camilla the better, plus I want to beat the woman that captured her senseless when I find her." as Selena was talking she climbed onto Beruka's Wyvern, sitting right behind the rider herself.

"Have you ever been on a Wyvern before?" Beruka asked flatly.

"Yes." Selena said just as flatly, "Now are we going or do you want me to kick this wyvern into motion?"

[[]]

Okay I'll be honest, this was not the chapter I was working on for the past two days in my head, I got the story chapters mixed up a bit.

I thought the Wind Tribe came after Izumo for some reason so... yeah, improve for the win!

Anyway I'm just gonna go and get addicted to FE: Fates now.

Remember for FE: Heroes- I'm supporting -Camilla- first for the Voting Gauntlet.
