Fire Emblem Fates: Of Conquest and Fate

I know. "But that Awakening series." Two things:

That was going to take forever for all I know.

If I wanted to explain my interpretation of Awakening, then I can just explain it in Laslow's and Selena's POV.

For those that don't know who I am, I'm just a guy that is a fan of Fire Emblem, both Marvel and DC comics, and Game of Thrones. And I tend to break the 4th wall sometimes, so don't be surprised. Now, the story title may give you the impression that we are siding with Nohr. Yes and no. Yes one of the twins will be joining Nohr, but the other will be joining Hoshido, and by reading the first couple of chapters, you be able to fit two and two together. And even then, in the next story (which actually takes place in the path split) is anyway focusing more on Hoshido than Nohr. And if you are saying that I am showing favoritism, then yes. Yes I am. However, this did not come without costs. In order to get the full effect on Laslow's part, I had to change my main Olivia paring from StahlxOlivia, to ChromxOlivia (why it was different from my last story, don't ask me). However, I then thought of Chrom's reaction to each of Inigo's wives, so yeah. Actually, someone should make fan art about that. Each and every single one. That's a challenge! Anyway, for some help, Corrin is the Male Avatar, and has the default appearance, except with Hair Option 1(if you want to have a Heroic Albino, then you need to have a true albino), while Kamui is the Female Avatar and has the Type 2 build, is blond, is not pale, but is still white. Wow, I hope that a. that did not sound racist, and b. it's just the default appearance, except with blond hair. Without further a due, enjoy.

Corrin. Age: 13

If the hot tea that was spilled on him was not the main factor of the pain towards him, then it was the cough that came afterwards. "I'm so sorry milord! I will help you immediately!" Felicia quickly glanced around, looking for something for both things: Corrin's sickness and to clean up the tea that was spilled on him before Jakob found out.

In a matter of seconds, that second thing happened.

"What in the seven hells is-" Jakob gasped once he saw Corrin in his, covered in tea. "Gods Felicia, this is the second time this week you've done this. And it's only Tuesday. New record by the way." Felicia then started looking at her feet. "Sorry, it's just that I tripped." Jakob then pulled off probably one of the most perfect sarcastic laughs of all time. "Tripped?" Jakob then looked towards the floor. "Do you see anythin-" Jakob then stopped mid-sentence and sighed. "For once it's not your fault." He then picked up the heel on the ground. "I told Lady Kamui that she needed to put her shoes away this morning. Of course she didn't do it."

"Hey guys?"

They both looked at the boy in the bed. Drenched in tea, the boy was trying his best to look as strong as he was supposed to be, but was failing without any doubt. "A little help here?" Jakob immediately threw the shoes away from him and immediately went to tending to his master. "Of course Lord Corrin. I will clean you off myself. As a matter I will use the-"

"Towels?" Jakob then turned and found himself looking at Flora, Felicia's sister. "When did you appear? And scare me like that, I was showing my utter devotion to Lord Corrin." Flora just rolled her eyes. "I was dealing with laundry, until I was passing by and heard this scene play out." Corrin sighed in relief. "Thanks Flora. And if you don't mind, can you hurry up with those towels. Steaming tea doesn't do well with a sick person."

Flora then hurriedly placed the towels on his bed and helped her liege out of bed. "My apologies milord, but you will probably need to change out of your clothes." It is very difficult for a pale man to hide his blush, much an albino man. That was what Corrin was trying to do, without any avail. "Good thing there is a bathroom connected to here." Jakob then probably uttered something he would never expect himself to hear. "There is a bathroom here?" Felicia then giggled. "Well, the door has been there forever."

"I thought that was just a closet."

'What a family.' Corrin felt more connected with this group of people then his siblings. Xander was always pushing him too hard, praising Kamui and being compared to her. Leo was just... Leo. He was cold to everyone. Sure the only ones who were actually nice to him were Camilla and Elise, but Corrin felt like that if anyone was going to commit incest, it was Camilla, while Elise would usually play with Kamui. 'And who could blame her.'

While Kamui was a strong and healthy person, Corrin was born with weak bones. His current sickness was the result of the heat of his room, something that Jakob, Felicia, Flora, and Gunter has tried to fix by transferring rooms (which a. Garon has denied, and b. Nohr is a hot country in general, even if it did have the Ice Tribe). Corrin was constantly sick due to a weak immune system. While the system has gotten stronger, the effects of having the weak system are present: constantly inside, in bed, very underweight, and lack of real social skills. His albinism was a birth thing, and considering that the sun didn't really shine in Nohr, it didn't really affect him.

Once he got out of the bathroom, changed in new clothes, Corrin saw that Gunter had shown up. "Are you alright, milord?"

"Never better. Where's Kamui?"

Gunter sighed. "The other royals came today, so they decided to take her outside and train, or in Elise's case, play."

'Of course. So much for secluded.' Where Corrin was inside 24/7, Kamui had the privilege of being able to go outside to train and play. All because she was such a good little girl and was did what she was told. Oh, and she wasn't the frail little boy he was. Born sick, raised sick, and currently sick. What was he missing? Oh yes. Born weak, raised weak, and currently weak. All Corrin could manage to do was sigh. "Well that's not surprising." Gunter looked at him curiously. "Are you feeling alright milord?"

"... Do I feel like a burden to you?"

"Of course not milord."

"Well, considering the fact that if you go outside, are injured, or die of an accident, we all get our heads on a spike. So yes, in a way, you are a burden."

"JAKOB!"

"What, I'm just telling the truth."

Corrin chuckled; this was why he liked Jakob. He always told the truth. "Well, if I am a burden, then are you happy with this duty when it comes to me?"

Felicia just looked plain confused. "What do you mean?"

"Look at me: I'm just a boy, sick, frail, and you guys do more work for me than my sister."

Jakob just gave him a weird look. "Which one? You must remember that your little sister Elise comes very often."

"Hm. I don't know. Maybe it's the one that officially lives here with me, and looks almost like me. Actually no it's Elise."

"Milord, beg my pardon, but were-"

"Yes I was being sarcastic."

Flora, who stood quiet most of the time, spoke up. "Milord, it may seem like that your sister follows every little thing we say, but that's not the case. That's with your siblings. She barely listens to us, only when Gunter is the one saying it."

Gunter chuckled. "And most of the time, it's combat practice."

"Exactly. Milord, you do more of what we ask than your sister. Unlike her, you read the books here, you eat the dinner presented to you, you go through Gunter's training in a different way, and most of all, you are far more respectful to us than she is to us."

Corrin let the teardrop fall down from his face. "Is that what every one thinks?"

Gunter had a slightly concerned facial expression on his face. "Well I know that she refuses to play chess, but what about the other mentioned things?"

Jakob spoke up. "Well during her readings, instead of finding her reading the desired reading, she was wondering which of the thickest books she can cut with her sword, The Lord of the Rings or the latest edition of the Dictionary."

Flora then talked. "When I was presenting milady with her meal two days past, she requested another meal in which we did not have. When I told her, she grabbed her plate and threw her dish out of the window."

Gunter sighed. "Back in my day, throwing things out of the window was seldom seen. Nowadays, it's like the current trend in the country."

Felicia then stammered out her saying. "And when I tripped and fell, but broke nothing, Lady Kamui yelled at me, saying 'You clumsy clout! The next time you trip, I will chop you into little pieces!'

Everyone in the room slowly looked at Jakob. "First of all, I only say it when she breaks things. Second, I say it in a polite tone. And last but not least, I do not threaten to cut her up."

Gunter then looked towards the prince in bed. "So you see milord, these people are in your service because of the respect you give them. Even though you may seem a chore, you are what makes it easy for these people."

Corrin then smiled. "Thanks everyone. I appreciate it."

"Now milord, should I get the chess board out. I'm not ready to be on a losing streak yet."

"But score is 96-56. I'm winning."

"It's just a 40 point difference."

"Well you are probably going to need to remind you why I'm better."

Well there's that. So MAYBE this is a loose interpretation. And by maybe it means it is. But hey I hope you guys enjoyed it the chapter. Here's a sneak peak at the next one.

"Pick up your sword and fight Corrin!"

Corrin managed to get up with the help of his sword. 'Xander isn't holding back as much.' Though Kamui couldn't tell, Corrin knew that Xander always held back during these matches.

"You look distracted Corrin. Why's that?"

Corrin sighed. "I just have one extremely good question, but you probably won't answer it."

"What?"

"... How in the Dusk Dragon's name did you get your horse up here?"

Leo turned to face his brother. "He's got a point."

"That's not important. Now pick up your sword."

'And I stand corrected.'

Yes, we are traveling through that territory next time. Now if you don't see this updated in the next couple of weeks, it could be because I'm attempting Chapter 10 of Conquest on Lunatic. Pray to Naga that I make it through alive.
