We arrived at the Capital of Windmire hours later.
I was walking behind Elise, while our other siblings were already ahead of us.
At the stairs of the building my father, King Garon, was waiting for us.
"I see you made it here safely, Corrin."
"Yes, Father. Long have I wished to see you and visit Castle Krakenburg again. I feel like I'm dreaming..."
"It is only thanks to your diligence that you are here. I am told you are now a warrior almost on par with Xander. You finally possess the strength to be an instrument of Nohr's power in the world."
"But, Father," Elise spoke, "will she be all right outside of the fortress?"
Camilla agreed, "I worry about that as well. Isn't it dangerous for Corrin to live outside the fortress' magical barrier?"
"I appreciate your concern, but I earned my way here and I'm ready to fight." I smiled back at my sisters.
Our father spoke again, "Corrin, as you know, Nohr is at war with the eastern kingdom of Hoshido."
"Yes, Father. I have heard as much."
"We, of the royal family are descendants of the ancient gods, the First Dragons. As inheritors of that divine strength, we conquer those who oppose us with ease. One who learns to wield that power can destroy an entire army of common troops. Xander, Camilla, and Leo have already shown that they possess this power. I expect no less from you."
"I am aware of your expectations, Father. And I have trained every day to become more like my siblings."
"Hmm.. you show promise. But you will need a suitable weapon in order to serve Nohr."
A blade that seemed to be formed out of shards of dark matter, that glowed with a purple sheen manifested beside me. I was awestruck at the blade's dark beauty,
"Wow..."
"This is Ganglari, a sword infused with magic from another world. With this sword at your side, you will crush the Hoshidan army with ease."
"Thank you for this generous gift, Father"
Xander spoke, "Hmm... Generous indeed."
"Now, let us see you put that sword to its proper use... Bring out the prisoners!"
A Nohrian soldier somewhere in the room responded, "Yes, sire!"
My smile faded from my face as I furrowed my brows, "Prisoners?"
I looked behind me, two Hoshidans ran forwards.
I snatched the sword up and walked over.
"These are prisoners from our most recent skirmish with Hoshido. I want to see your power with my own eyes. Use that sword to strike them down."
I stepped off of the stairs and into the temporary 'arena', Gunter and Jakob joined me as to help.
"I shall join you, milady. My lance arm is perhaps rusty but still serviceable. Jakob will you join as well?"
"Naturally. I couldn't allow someone of your advanced years to bear the burden alone. Lady Corrin, there is no need for you to soil your hands with this filth. Please relax and leave the fighting to us. Afterward, I will prepare you some tea." on the other side of the room, a booming voice spoke, "I am Rinkah! Daughter of the Flame Tribe's honorable chieftain. What is your name, Nohrian princess?"
"I'm Corrin."
On the opposite end of Rinkah, a quieter voice spoke, "Corrin... Can it be?"
"Huh? Have you heard of me?"
