A/N: How's it going everybody!

Sending off Part 2

Summary: Sequel to chapter 18. Oboro and Corrin are convinced to send Kana of for the better.

*Rooster crow*

Dawn. That was around the time that Oboro would usually wake up this time around. Mostly due to having a child already.

Oboro walked up to her daughter's crib, where the infant laid, asleep and ever so peaceful. She placed a hand on her sleeping daughter, rubbing her affectionately.

As she rubbed her daughter, Oboro began thinking about the Deeprealms. Sure it was truly the only place where war would never dare touch, but was it truly the only option? Yes. But to subject an infant to such loneliness, Oboro couldn't even begin to imagine.

It was at that moment that Oboro realized that not only was the Deeprealms the only answer, but that Corrin has never returned.

"Lord Corrin."

The half-dragon prince groaned slightly before shifting away.

"Milord, what in blazes are you doing in the training area?"

"F*&% off Jakob" Corrin cursed to his ever so faithful butler. He sprouted out his draconic wings, with the intention of hiding himself… to no avail.

"Corrin, I can tell what this is about." Jakob spoke, rubbing his chin and neck with his hand. "This is about Kana, isn't it?"

"How'd you do it?"

"Hmm?"

"How were you able to send of Dwyer to the realms… to subject him to such loneliness?"

Jakob sighed. "It was not easy to be honest. Flora had to convince me that it was for the best." He then moved one of the crates near him, before sitting down. "But that doesn't mean that it makes it any easier."

"If only there was another option…"

"I know it's hard, but when you put it with the thought of war, it truly is the only option."

"Well," Corrin began, before retracting his wings and standing up. "I better fix this…"

Elsewhere

Oboro walked around for a while, before sitting down on a bench by the statue of the Dawn Dragon, Kana tucked in her arms. Members of the army passing by offered greetings and congratulations, to which she replied with gratitude and kindness.

"Uh… b-big sis…" A timid voice began, catching the Spear Fighter's attention. Turning slightly, she found that the voice belonged to Sakura… or to be more accurate, her step sister-in-law. Wat?

"Lady Sakura, good-morning." She greeted, only to scold herself for treating Sakura as a superior, rather than a sister.

Sakura simply smiled before looking to her new niece. "Um… Can I… hold her?"

Oboro moved slightly, offering her space on the bench, where Sakura then sat before being handed the infant. Being a healer, Sakura held her niece so delicately, that Oboro felt jealous.

"Hi Kana…" Sakura began, smiling. "I'm your aunt." Kana responded by fidgeting slightly, causing her mother to smile as she placed a hand on her.

"Sakura…" A voice began.

"Sister…" Another one spoke.

The two voices caused Oboro to turn her attention to the two voices, only to cringe as walking to them were Hinoka and Camilla.

"Big sisters." Sakura greeted. She still found it strange calling Camilla a sister. Hinoka on the other hand? No problem.

"Morning Sakura, looking lovely as ever I see." Camilla greeted her expression somewhat weak, before turning to Oboro. "We need to speak for a while Oboro."

Oboro stood up, but not before gesturing Sakura to allow her to hold her daughter for just a while longer. "Yes? What is it?"

Camilla sighed slightly. "Jakob found Corrin by the training area, asleep."

Oboro suddenly felt frozen at the report.

"Considering the argument last night, as well as the Deeprealms constantly being mentioned," Hinoka began. "I think it's safe to assume that Kana is involved."

"Ummm…"

"It's okay dear." Camilla began. "You and Corrin are obviously not the first case of this happening, as most us have had children at this point, and sent them to the realms." The Malig Knight then placed her hands on Oboro.

"It's something we do out of concern and love for the children." Hinoka intercepted. "In fact, just thinking about how me and Xander were forced to send Siegbert to these realms… is something I'm sure I'll be carrying for a while."

Camilla nodded in agreement. "Along with my dear Shiro. However, as Corrin probably mentioned, our world right now is a very harsh place to raise infants. Evene with our combined efforts, we still can't remove the threat without problems."

"I just wish there was another way…"

Camilla turned her hand placement into a hug. "Don't we all wish that? However, due to the strength of this battle, it seems that the only concern right now is for all of us."

Camilla released herself from Oboro, before Hinoka began once more. "Now then, I think it's time that you and Corrin start making up." The red-headed Falcon Knight noticed Oboro's slight turn to her daughter. "Don't worry, we'll watch over Kana for the meantime. Now go."

Oboro hesitated for a moment, but walked off. She didn't want to admit it, but a Nohrian like Camilla giving her help was what helped her the most.

"Look I. No, you first." The couple spoke at the same time.

"I'm sorry." Corrin began. "While there seems to be more room for another quarrel, but I think we've both had enough convincing to know what must be done."

Oboro nodded slightly.

"Yes. I believe we've had enough convincing, but I still hate the idea of the Deeprealms. I just love her too much."

"I don't agree as well…" Corrin admitted. "But, I'm willing to let it pass for the time being… if only to keep Kana safe. At least for now…" It took literally every ounce of Corrin strength not to let any tear flow.

Oboro reached for her husband's arm, shocking him slightly. "I've complained about numerous injuries, but this hurts more than any that I have ever dealt with." She then leaned her head on Corrin's chest, crying slightly. "I'm so sorry for what happened last night. I just cared too much about Kana and to you, that I shut off any thoughts."

"I think we should spend these final moments with Kana before we send her of."

"Yes. We should."

As the couple went off to spend their final moments with Kana, both filled with grief and guilt, they knew that what they were gonna do later that day was for the better not just for their daughter, but for themselves as well.

A/N: And we're clear.

I did it again! Playing 'AFleeting Dream' while writing this one. Gosh dangit! I really gotta play something else when I write these things…

Let's be honest right now. The Deeprealms is complete and utter uneeded Tauroscrap, and I think it's safe to say that the Deeprealms was critically panned, and should only be reserved for DLC and whatnot. Seriously, the time travel dizziness in Awakening made MUCH more sense. You know the saying "If it isn't broken, don't fix it."

Anyways, I've ranted enough for the meantime. Until next chapter, BYE!
