(y/n) P.O.V

Me, Kamui, Azura, and Felicia were in the felid.

"um, I hate to bring this up. but what are we going to do now?" Felicia asked worriedly.

we all looked at her.

"with nohr and hoshido against us. we don't have many friends..." Felicia said.

"Mmm... is seems like we should lay low for a bit" Kamui said.

"ya" I said.

"then...I know a place where no one will find us" Azura said.

"we should be safe there" Alex said.

"really?" me and Kamui asked in syc.

"yes, and once we get there, I have much to tell you" Azura said nodding.

'you better' Dark said.

'don't be rude' I thought.

'sorry' Dark said sighing.

"things I heard from my mother...and the truth about this world..." Azura said.

~time skip to the bottomless canyon~

we all walked near the bridge of the canyon.

"this is the bottomless canyon" Kamui said.

"were we lost Gunter" I said sadly.

"you don't mean for us to hide out here, do you?" Kamui asked.

"that's exactly what I mean. we'll jump into the canyon" Azura said calmly.

"WHAT?!?!?!" I shouted.

"what?! h-hold on just a minute! if we jump down there, we'll all die" Felicia said worriedly.

'ya like I said a few days or however long ago' Dark said, 'but good thing it's magic'

'Wait what you mean by that?' I thought, confused.

'You'll find out' Dark said

" I knew we need to keep a low profile, but I don't think death is a great hiding spot!" Felicia said.

"don't worry- you wont die if you jump. you have to trust me" Azura said.

"Azura..." me and Kamui said in sync.

"you'll tell us more of what you know, after we jump into the canyon, right?" Kamui asked.

"will you?" I asked.

"yes, if that's what you both wish." Azura said.

"then we have no choice" me and Kamui said in sync.

"ahhh... are you both really serious about this, milord(s)(and milady)?!" Felicia asked worriedly.

"yes. everything will be fine" Kamui said smiling.

"we trust Azura" i said happily.

"good" Alex said smiling.

"thank you, Kamui and (y/n). me and Alex go first and wait for you to follow" Azura said as she and Alex walked over to the bridge.

"all right" Kamui said.

"we'll be right behind you" I said happily as me and Kamui walked over to where Azura and Alex were going.

"if they're going in, then I guess I must follow... this is incredibly scary, but here goes nothing!" Felicia said sighing, as she ran closely behind us.

Azura and Alex looked at us at the edge of the bridge and turned around and jumped off, me and Kamui ran to the bridge and jump off as well, and avoiding the rocks and bumps as we were closely behind Azura and Alex who nodded at us as we were getting deeper in the canyon.

once we opened our eyes, everything looked different, island were flying and building were brockin' but everything but that things were fine.

"..ugh are we at the bottom of the canyon?" Kamui asked.

"whow this is awesome!!!" I said as I looked around.

'awesome isn't the first worried that comes to my mind when you fall down a cliff' Dark said.

"that's was a heck of a fall, but nothing seems to be broken, are you okay (brother/sister)?" Kamui asked me.

"i'm fine, thanks brother" I said hugging him.

"thank goodness" Alex said sighing in relief.

"I said you'd be all right, didn't I?" Azura asked sighing.

"Felicia are you all right as well?" Alex asked.

"I-i'm fine...just...my stomach is a little upset, i'll be ok" Felicia said.

"so...where are we?" Kamui asked.

"this place looks likes it's definitely seen better days..." I said.

"this is the kingdom of valla" Alex said.

"valla is responsible for the war between hoshido and nohr," Azura said.

"responsible?" I asked.

"how?" Kamui asked.

'Short: brainwashing' Dark said.

"...follow us, three of you" Alex said.

"if we linger here, we'll be spotted" Azura said.

~time skip~

we all went into a cave and stayed there to rest.

"..we should be safe here." Alex said.

"as I was saying, the throne of valla is occupied by king Anankos. before his arrival, this land was a peaceful one. all was well until Anankos killed our king and took the throne for himself. once boundtiful farmlands were devastated replaced by wastelands and graveyards." Azura said.

"he destroyed an entire kingdom?!" I gasped.

"for no reason at all?" Kamui asked, crossing his arms.

"...yes, and he isn't finished. he wishes to lay waste to the entire world. first valla, then nohr and hoshido." Alex said, sighing.

"even now, he's hidden influence that quietly forced nohr and hoshido to fight." Azura said.

"king Garon's invasion is the result of Anankos's subtle manipulations." Alex said, crossing (her/his) arms.

"that's horrible!" me and Kamui said in sync.

'no wonder he was a a**hole' Dark said.

"but...if its true, then maybe we can stop this war but defeating Anankos!" Kamui said as his eyes widen.

"we need to get back up above and explain this to everyone!" I said in a panicked voice.

"if we can get nohr and hoshido to work together with-" Kamui said but was cut off.

"i'm sorry, but you both cant" Azura said.

" you both mustn't talk about valla to anyone when you're beyond its borders" Alex said.

"if you do, you'll both trigger a curse that will cause your body's to dissolve and disappear" Azura said sadly.

'then what will happen to you?' I thought.

'I guess i'll disappear as well or I will survive and find another host' Dark said.

"that's happened to my mother..." Azura said.

"and my father.." Alex said.

"to Arete, the former queen and Arekkusu, the former step-king of valla" Azura said.

"what? your mother was a queen in valla, not nohr?" I asked, surprised.

"then that makes you both....." Kamui said as he trailed off.

"yes...me and Alex are vallite princess and step-(princess/prince)... the king that Anankos murdered....he was my father and Alex's mother" Azura said sadly.

"no! and you were forced to flee?" I asked.

"she was and I was moved" Alex said

"yes...but we wasn't able to tell anyone about this before. because of that curse...even if we wanted to talk." Azura said, sadly.

"we couldn't" Alex said sadly, not making eye contact. 

"we were trapped- no matter how much we missed our parents..." Azura said like she wanted to cry.

"we had to keep it all bottled up inside" Alex said sighing.

"...until now" Azura said, looking up at us.

"Azura, Alex...." me and Kamui said in sync.

"listen, Kamui and (y/n).i'm sorry to say this. but...now that you both chosen this path. you'll know exactly what we're been feeling. no matter how much you both want someone to understand what's happening" Azura said, narrowing her eyes a bit.

"no matter how much you both want to tell them the truth..." Alex said, having the same expression as Azura.

"you both wont be able to tell them. you both need to prepare yourselves for that. we cant even express how painful it is to know the truth and not be able to say it." Azura said.

"....all right" Kamui said, nodding in agreement.

"we understand" I said.

'I guess you two have to keep your mouths shut' Dark said. 'Be just as quiet as I was for over 13 billion years'

'Wait what-' I thought surprised, before I can ask more, Azura cut me off.

"what was that?!" Azura asked as she heard a sound.

"..there are enemies approaching- a rather large number of enemies." Alex said.

"Kamui and (y/n). we'll need to deal with this threat before we can continue" Azura said.

"ok!" me and Kamui said in sync.

the battle began.

"tread carefully..." Azura said.

"our enemies may used the shadows to ambush us" Alex said.

me and Kamui went to the left and saw 3 shadow enemies,

Azura sang to us and went to the closes enemy.

we transformed into our dragon forms and attacked the enemy.

Kamui attacked by using his claw and I used close combat to take him down.

when we transformed back we went deeper into the cave and saw more enemies.

as we attacked the rest of the enemies we saw someone running over to were we are.

"what the-?" I said.

"is there something wrong with our eyes?" Kamui asked.

"could that knight be..." I trailed off.

'how?' Dark asked.

"lord Kamui, (lord/lady)(y/n)!!" Gunter said.

"Gunter!" me and Kamui said in sync.

"is that really you?!" I asked shocked.

"and you're alive?!" Kamui asked just as shocked as I was.

"I am. I lost consciousness as I fell, and when I awoke, I was here. I have no idea how I survived such a fall... but I swear on my blade i'm no ghost. my arms and legs are as sturdy ever." Gunter said.

"it's good to see you in one piece Gunter" Kamui said.

"we're so glad we found you" I said happily.

"I would love to celebrate, milord(s)(and milady). but it appears we don't have time right now... these foes are truly challenging, i'll help you both fend them off!" Gunter said.

~small time skip to the end of the battle~

"Gunter. it's so good to see your safe and sound" I said after a mini group hug wit me, Kamui and Gunter.

"ya what my (brother/sister) said" Kamui said.

"i'm glad to see you both, lord Kamui and (lord/lady)(y/n).after I fell, I truly thought i'll never see your faces again." Gunter said, smiling kindly at us.

'why does that sound creepy to me?' Dark said, a little creep out.

"it seems you two grown stronger while we've been apart, as well..." Gunter said, eyeing me and Kamui a bit.

"Gunter! your safe!" Felicia said smiling brightly at the much older man.

"Felicia! you've done a good job protecting our masters. but tell me-why are you all here?" Gunter asked, smiling at our maid before went serious.

"we brought them" Azura and Alex said in sync as they step next to us.

"and who are you two?" Gunter asked, slightly glaring at the duo.

"my name is Azura" Azura said, putting her right hand over her chest.

"and my name is Alex, a mage from hoshido." Alex said, bowing slightly.

"if I said I was the princess kidnapped from nohr as a child...would you understand?" Azura asked, giving Gunter some time to think.

After a while, Gunter seem to remember, "ah! yes. I remember when you were little. I apologize for my failure to protect you from your kidnappers..." Gunter said.

"there is no need to apologize. really... it doesn't matter at the moment. i'd rather learn how you've survived here. you quite the knight to have avoided meeting a terrible fate." Azura said, smiling ever so slightly.

"you seem familiar with this place. lady Azura, where are we exactly?" Gunter asked, looking around slightly.

"this is valla. an invisible kingdom tried to the world by the bottomless canyon." Azura explained.

"it is ruled by Anankos. who wished to destroy the entire world" Alex said.

"so long as he reminds on the vallite throne. the world will not know peace." Azura said.

"oh, but, Gunter, you must be careful! if you talk about any of this when you aren't within' valla... a course will dissolve you and you'll disappear into thin air!" Felicia warned. 

"what?! is that possible?" Gunter asked shocked.

'well duh' Dark said, like it's the most obvious thing in the world. 

"it seems so." me and Kamui said in sync.

"also we've.... made enemies of both hoshido and nohr Gunter" Kamui said, getting Gunter's attention.

"our bad" I said scratching the back of my head.

"we couldn't bring ourselves to side against either of them. so both turned on us" Kamui explained.

'ya and almost died' Dark said, like we were dumb.

"whenever we meet next, it will be a different fight" I said, imaging what will happen if we see any Hoshidans and Nohrians

"will you stand with us?" Kamui asked.

"of course lord Kamui and (lord/lady)(y/n), I shall always remain at your sides." Gunter said, nodding.

"thank you Gunter" me and Kamui said in sync.

"I feel like I must be in a dream. surviving being attacked and falling so far... thought I have to admit... Hans was a disappointment. he barely left a scratch." Gunter said,

'OOOOHHHH ROSTED!!!!' me and Dark thought/said.

"ah, that reminds me: Hans said something strange" Kamui said.

"I remember as well" I said, remembering what happend weeks ago.

"he claimed he was following king Garon's orders by attacking you" Kamui said, crossing his arms.

"i'm embarrassed to admit this, but...king Garon despises me." Gunter said.

"despise you?" I asked

"why?" Kamui asked.

"after being honored for valor in battle. I was granted an audience with king Garon. he offered me dragon's blood: accepting would require absolute loyalty to the king. it would have meant being his most trusted retainer. the highest of positions. however, it also would have meant leaving my homeland. my wife, and my child. I turned him down. I wanted to live my normal life. I begged him to understanding. I will never forget his resentment...his rage." Gunter explained.

"we didn't know..." me and Kamui said in sync.

~time skip a little later~

We left the cave, we walk close to the cliff to go back to our world, When we heard somwthing, we turned around we saw shadow ninja or people can out of purple smoke.

"leave now.... you should no be here." one female shadow said.

"what the-?" I asked stepping back

"who are you?!" Kamui asked stepping in front of me.

"I am a mage of valla... you were warned. vallite warriors, eliminate then" the shadow women said.

"this is bad..." Alex said.

"agreed. I don't think we're strong enough to defeat them." Azura said.

'well I think we're strong enough miss blue haired princess' Dark said.

'there no need to be rude but I agreed' I thought.

"lets retreat to the other world!" Azura said.

then we ran away and jumped off the near by cliff and return to the bottomless canyon.

"phew... it looks like we're made it back" Kamui said, out of breath as h placed a hand on his chest.

"and alive" I said, sitting down next to Kamui.

"who was that women down there?" Kamui asked.

"she said she was a mage..." I said. Then Azura and Alex started saying something.

"when dawn turns dusk" Alex said.

"when the dusk turn dawn" Azura said.

"then the door will spawn" Alex said.

"huh? is that a poem, Alex and Azura?" I asked, curious.

"my mother and Alex's father...they said those words to us a log time ago." Azura said.

"they said that when dawn turn dusk and dusk turn dawn..." Alex said.

"the pass in the bottomless canyon opens or closes." Azura said.

"when the dawn turns...Hmm...oh. I get it. once every few decades, the skies above nohr and hoshido will reverse. if I remember right. that should happen a few months from now." Gunter said.

"yes. i'm sure that's the sigh that pass down there has opened or closed" Azura said.

"since we're obviously able to travel there now, it will close next time" Alex said.

"once it closed, it will stay that way for decades. we wont be able to get there..." Azura said.

"we don't have much time" Alex said.

"we see" me and Kamui said in sync.

"then we need both kingdoms to stop fighting each other and help us" Kamui said.

"if we had Xander and Ryoma, there's no way we'd lose" I said.

"but how can we convince them?" Alex asked.

"we cant tell them the truth!" Azura said.

"we'll just have to find another way its the only chance we have" I said.

"now that we know there is a common enemy for both countries to fight..." Kamui said.

"we think we can save nohr and hoshido." I said.

"as we can do is believe in ourselves and try to convince other to join us" Kamui said.

"Kamui, (y/n)..." Azura and Alex said in sync.

"I suppose you both are right" Azura said.

"same" Alex said.

"I felt so powerless on my own, but together we might be able to pull something off!" Azura said smiling, and Alex nodded.

"nothing will change if we stay here. lets return to hoshido first" Alex said.

"I feel like they might be more willing to listen to us" Azura said.
