Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!
Part 1





Uh...so did Rinkah knock Corrin unconscious and then carried him all the way across the canyon and into a valley? That map better be less scaled than I think.




Sorry about that bump on your head.
It's you! From the Flame Tribe, right? Where are we?
Yes, I am Rinkah. This is a Flame Tribe village within Hoshido's territory. I'm going to hand you over to the Hoshidan authorities.
I see. I suppose they'll want to hear an explanation for the unprovoked attack.
And then they'll probably execute me.

You seem to understand this but not murder-dad somehow



Gods...they're here already, aren't they?
Yes. It's time to go.

*The two go outside*



Yes. I'm glad we found you, Prince Corrin.
You are? Wait, an I missing something?
Please come with me. All will be explained.
Very well.

Good. SOMEONE explain something, I'll take anything at this point



Good jeez, just world trotting instantly here, huh



Welcome to Not-Japan, not to be confused with Not-Japan Dragonland.




Thank you, Lord Ryoma.
Did...did you just say Lord Ryoma?
Yes, this is the high prince of Hoshido, Lord Ryoma.
I understand.
Hmm...



Garon is pondering why this didn't happen so easily back at Nohr right now



*A woman approaches*




I'm sorry, do we know each other?
Oh, I've missed you so much! Come here, Corrin, my sweet child!



Your sweet child?! What are you talking about? That's not possible...



When you were very young, you were abducted by forces from Nohr. I am your mother, Mikoto. All this time, I didn't know if I'd ever see you again!
But King Garon is my father! None of what you're saying makes sense.

Uh...no, if anything this explains everything. Including why he quarantined you for years.

It must be quite a shock, but I assure you that she speaks the truth.
I am your older brother, Ryoma.



Are those the Nohrian royals? They're not your real family.
I still remember the day you were taken. In those days, there was tension between Hoshido and Nohr, but no full-blown war.
Not until Garon lured King Sumeragi-our father-to Cheve under false pretenses. He said it was for a peace conference. Ha!



And to make matters even worse...he kidnapped you.
No. That's just not possible.

Did that knock on your head made you forget how you almost died because your sword literally tried to kill you

wait, why do you still have the sword

You really don't remember any of this? Not even a single memory?
No. Honestly, I have only the vaguest memories from my early childhood.





I said I wanted answer, but I just get more questions!



A blurry image. Like a stone at the bottom of a lake, shimmering and ethereal.
But that's it. Nothing of substance.
Well, I can't imagine the Nohrian royals would share much of your past with you. I know this is a lot to take in.

*Soldier barges in*



We're under attack from the north!
No! Hinoka and Sakura are in that area right now!
Yes, milord. I've been told that they're working to help evacuate the villagers.
Very well. We'll need to provide support. I'll leave immediately. Corrin, will you come with me? I want you to see the truth with your own eyes.
