Chapter Four: Sagaria
Corrin; Kamui; Ryoma; Xander; Hinoka; Camilla; Takumi; Leo; Sakura; Elise and Kagura have safely arrived at Sagaria, the capital Sarjed, the portal closed before them. "Ladies and gentlemen... We have now arrived at Sagaria." The birds flew above their heads as they spread their wings into the beautiful horizon.
"WOW! This is all new to us! I really want to explore this kingdom!" Elise gasped in amazement.
"M-me too! I can't wait!" Sakura stuttered.
"This is my hometown, Sagaria!" Kagura presented. Suddenly, a man who looks to be in his forties, came. He wore an outfit that suits his Paladin class, with greyish-brown hair and grey eyes, but doesn't seem to look too old. "Kagura? Is that you?" he questioned. The Rainbow-Eyed Warrior turned round. "Father...?"
"Wait... That's your father?!" Everyone exclaimed in unison. "Oh yeah. He is." Kagura giggled. "I apologize for not introducing myself. I am Eiji, the current reigning King of Sagaria." the King introduced. "My name is Corrin and this is my twin sister, Kamui, joint-King and Queen of Valla." Corrin gestured. "I am Ryoma, King of Hoshido, and these are my younger siblings, Hinoka; Takumi and Sakura. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." The King of Hoshido spoke. "And I am Xander, King of Nohr. These are my half-siblings, Camilla; Leo and Elise." Xander gestured. "Ah, so young Kagura has found a group of boys that she wants to go out with, eh?" Eiji teased, which made his poor daughter blush heavily. "F-Father! I'm not ready for one yet!" Kagura stuttered in embarrassment. "Don't worry, Kagura. I'm only messing with you." Kagura's father chuckled. "Kagura, you know that you are next-in-line after me. I know that you feel that you aren't ready to be Queen, but I hope that when the time comes, you will be fantastic." Eiji placed his hand on Kagura's shoulder, which made her sigh in disappointment.
"Hold on a minute, you're going to be Queen of Sagaria?" Takumi asked. "That's right. I used to have older siblings, but they died in the Sagarian invasion. Now their promotion of becoming King or Queen of Sagaria falls to my hands. I am next-in-line." Kagura explained. "I'm so sorry to hear that," Kamui grieved. "Those who die in the invasion and war will never be forgotten." Ryoma stated. "But we will support you at any time, Kagura." Xander added. "Thank you guys." Kagura smiled.
"Lady Kagura! Lady Kagura!" A feminine voice came. "Avril! Slow down!" A masculine voice came. "Avril, Avery. What seems to be the problem?" Kagura asked, alerted. "Lady Kagura, we have news that your mother's tribe came and attack the town of Alvric. Also... she has kidnapped Chelsea." Avery bowed down. "... Very well then. Guys, I have to go and help out. You guys can feel free to explore around the kingdom." Kagura ordered. "What? There's no way that we'll stay behind when there's an attack going on!" Hinoka stated. "True, I agree with the Hoshidan princess. Anyone who dares to touch my darling friends and siblings will die." Camilla agreed with Hinoka. "I'll help too!" Sakura offered. "Same here! I'll do my best!" Elise smiled. "C'mon! We stand together!" Ryoma stated. "There will be no mercy on the enemy!" Xander called. "You'll have the devil's own luck, Kagura." Leo chuckled. "We've got this!" Kamui said. "With us by our side, we won't give up!" Corrin replied with determination. "I'm coming with you!" Takumi insisted. Kagura hesitated, and reluctantly gave in. "Okay. But remember that this is your choice and I won't stop you if you want to back out." she sighed, "Okay then, let's go!"
Arriving at the small town of Alvric, the army heard footsteps. "Stay alert! That silhouette could be an enemy." Ryoma warned. "It could possibly be an ally or it's..." Kagura predicted. The silhouette revealed to be a woman who looked around to be her mid-thirties, and wears black and red garments that is suitable for a dark intruder class. "Why hello, dear daughter. I'm surprised that you have bought your friends along. I just recently have captured one of your friends, so you can thank me for it." the woman spoke. "Mother..." Kagura clenched her hands, her eyes turned red. "That's her mother?!" Takumi asked in astonishment.
"Unfortunately yes, Shizuku Thorne is her name." Avril replied. "She leads the Thorne Tribe. They are filled with assassins, tricksters and murderers." Avery added. "What kind of person is she?!" Kamui asked. "Either way, she's crazy! This ends now!" Corrin yelled, swinging his Blazing Yato. "Oh!" Shizuku scoffed and laughed, "What's with the weapons? We can always have a dinner and a good show, but looks like you're all angry at me, and seems like we need to take it all outside." The dark-lookalike counterpart of Kagura clicked her fingers, and tribesmen and women appeared. "Everyone, get them! Make sure that you leave every person dead!" Shizuku commanded. "It looks like they're going for a fight. Everyone, be prepared!" Kagura called out, and everyone charged against each other.
(A/N: Aaaagh I am no good at describing battles... if you want you can follow this... crap or you can imagine your battle, I don't mind, we don't share the same brain cells here...)
A dark red aura came from Xander's Siegfried, which came into contact with the group of outlaws and tricksters, however more came. Ryoma's Raijinto created thunder and aimed it at everyone else that surrounded Xander. "You have my gratitude, King Ryoma." The King of Nohr smiled. "Not a problem, King Xander." The Hoshidan King replied.
A band of murderers and assassins surround Camilla and Hinoka. The bewitching beauty princess swung her namesake axe (while riding her wyvern) at the murderers, while the warrior princess swung her own spear around the assassins.
Sakura and Elise managed to defeat the tricksters with Elise's tome and Sakura's bow and arrow, which made Elise celebrate (too early). Leo ensured that the two youngest princess aren't injured in battle.
Shizuku and a young girl with dark blonde hair who dons a bull's mask and wore red and black which are suitable for a sorceress, observed the battle. "Take out the young boy who has a hairstyle of a pineapple. Do not fail me, Symphonia." she ordered. "Of course, Lady Shizuku." Symphonia obeyed, and headed towards Takumi. Shizuku, on the other hand, charges towards her daughter, Kagura and her mother clashed swords against each other. "Mother, why are you fighting against us?" Kagura questioned her mother, which made her anger rise up. "This is none of your concern. That is my decision, and mine alone. So quit making me change my mind!" Shizuku growled, and slashed Kagura hard, making her scream in agony.
Takumi turned round to see Kagura getting injured heavily. "Kagura!" he called and charged towards the Rainbow-Eyed Warrior. However, he was stopped by Symphonia herself, who was blocking his path. "Well, well. My Lady Shizuku has ordered me to capture a young boy who has a hairstyle shaped like a pineapple." she cackled, which offended Takumi (GREATLY). "Excuse me?! HOW DARE YOU! I shall make sure that my arrow pierces your whole body!" Takumi shouted, and released a magic arrow at Symphonia. The sorceress dodged it and tried to attack Takumi, managing to cut his left cheek. The Prince of Hoshido and Kagura went back-to-back, panting heavily. "How're you doing with... her?" Kagura asked. "She really likes to offend people. What about you?" Takumi replied back. "I... I hate too admit but I think that we need to retreat... but I'm not leaving here without my friend." The Rainbow-Eyed Warrior admitted. The two separated, the wild card headed for the enemy, while Kagura searches for her friend, until she arrived in a tent, and noticed a girl who looked like Kagura's age with long red-pink hair colour, turned round. "Huh? Kagura?! What are you doing here?!" she asked in surprise. "It's okay, Chelsea. I'm here to rescue you. But right now, we need to leave." Kagura pulled Chelsea's wrist and exited the tent. Kagura pulled out a portal from Zerri Baso's pistol form, shoots at a distance so that everyone can retreat. "Everyone, we must leave!" Kagura commanded. "But Kagura - " Corrin was interrupted. "Yes, I know. But there's less of us and too many of them. We must retreat for now." Kagura growled in annoyance, not because of Corrin's reply but because of how her whole army is about to be outnumbered by the Thorne Tribe.
"... Alright. Everyone, we need to go, NOW!" Kamui called out. Everyone entered into the portal, Kagura being the last one. Shizuku was prepared to grab her daughter's arm but was too late. "We'll see each other again... Kagura." She growled.
The portal took them back to the Sagarian kingdom, and its capital, Sarjed. "Guys... I'm sorry." Kagura apologised in a quiet voice. "Kagura, it's not your fault. They have too many tribesmen, but you did the right thing." Takumi reassured her. "We will go against them again in the near future..." Kamui warned everyone. "Let's get treated... We have wounds that cannot be healed..." Kagura stated, and directly led them to the Sagarian treatment room.
Once there, everyone recovered their cuts and wounds, but Kagura had major ones. She sighed in disappointment. Takumi, having a plaster on his left cheek and bandages on his right hand, walked up to the depressed warrior. "Hey." he smiled. Kagura avoided eye-contact, her eyes turned blue. "I'm such a screw-up... aren't I?" she questioned, sighing. "Kagura... This is your first time doing this, first times aren't always perfect. I will assure you that the next one will be better than today's so... don't be sad." he explained softly to her. Kagura gave him a small smile, her eyes turning to a lighter yellow. "... Alright. Thank you." she replied quietly.
