Chapter 1: First Meeting

It all started at an open field, my little sister Lissa and our overprotective knight Fredrick came across a woman, a beautiful woman. She had short violet her with bangs that covered her right eye. The first thing she said was …

"Thank you, Chrom…"

I was stunned by her voice, hearing my name from her was music to my ears. Furthermore, I was drowning in her beauty. She was like an angel and this angel name was Ashley. She was a woman with no memory of her past and had no friends or family what so ever. Fredrick was suspicious of her but she was a person in need and I can't avoid that so we assist her and walked her to the next town. However, the town was under attack by bandits so it was up to us to fight. Little that we knew, Ashley joined the fight.

"I will help you."

"Thanks…" Chrom replied. We soon realized she wasn't weak and defenseless at all. She was a very smart woman with skills of magic and swordsmanship. I was amazed that she can even fight her own battles.

"Wow Ashley, you are amazing." Lissa praised. "Tactic, magic, and swordsmanship, is there something you can't do?"

"It just came to me somehow. I don't know why." Ashley said, looking at her bronze sword. "Why am I carrying this anyway? I don't remember anything of this and I know it is hard to believe."

"We will help you find the answers." Chrom said, smiling at her. "However, I have to agree with Lissa. You were amazing and we should use someone with your talents. So do you want to join the Shepherds?"

"Shepherds? Are we watching over sheep?" She said, looking at him with confusion.

"It's not that easy you know." Chrom said. "We might help you out while you are with us. So what do you say?"

"Yes, I will be honored." She replied, smiling at me.

That was the day I finally felt something special towards a woman. I have been with arranged suitors for years and this woman just made me feel weird inside. All I wanted is to be with her constantly. As she joined our team, she became our chief tactician. She was utterly smart and tries to find ways to defeat the enemy without losing any of our comrades. Even as my right hand woman, she doesn't look down on anyone. She helps anyway she can and made a lot of friends along the way.

"Panne, I made some carrot stew." Ashley said, stirring her stew.

"Thank you Ashley, you are so kind." Panne said, walking towards her. She was a taguel, a beast shape swifter. She transform into a rabbit like creature which is Ashley favorite animal. "I can never get tired of your stew. It is so delicious."

"I am still practicing on my cooking. Fredrick is teaching me some new recipes and I borrowed a cooking book from Miriel." She replied. "Also, Gregor is great with getting me spices."

"You know, you are the first man-spawn that I like talking too." Panne said. "I hope will stay good friends."

"Thanks Panne, you are a great friend." Ashley said. "Everyone here make me feel that I belong. I have no memory of my old life. I finally feel that I am home."

"Don't worry Ashley, we all do care about you. It is not just you are our chief tactician. It is because you are pure of heart. You always find way to help each and every one of us." Panne explained.

Everyone loves her so much. She was a joy to have around even all the men loves her. Who wouldn't want someone that amazing? I became too addicted to her company that it led to something revealing.

"ASHLEY!" Chrom screamed. "I NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE ROUTE THAT WE WERE TAKING!"

"Chrom, I will be with you in a minute." Ashley said, opening the shower glass door. She walked out the shower. "I will be right there."

"You want me there. Okay…" Chrom said, opening the walking in the tent. "Ashley, we need to discuss… Why is it so steamy here?" Then he paused with a blush. He found my chief tactician fully naked in front of him. Her hair was damped yet perfectly hung down her back and her skin shimmered. "ASHLEY!" She is naked in front of me. My body can't move. I can't stop staring at her.

"I told you to wait outside. Were you eager to see me naked?" She said, staring at him while blushing. "And do you even know that you just walked into the ladies bath."

"I am so sorry Ashley. I misheard you, please believe me." He replied, blushing even more and covering his pants with his shirt. Stupid hormones, why now? "I will leave you be." He rushed outside the tent while she threw things at him. Great, now she thinks I am a pervert. Then he blushed some more. "Well, now I know that I had poor imagination. She was far better than I imagined." She walked out the tent in her clothes but with a smirk on her face. "Ashley, I am so sorry. Please forgive me."

"It is very embarrassing but I will forgive you." Ashley said, blushing. "Let's just forget about this okay."

"Right, thanks for that. I thought you will hate me forever" He said. How can I forget? She was wow… I have no word to describe her. She was just too much.

"You are my best friend Chrom. I will never hate you." Ashley said, smiling. "I know it was just a mistake so yeah… I forgive you."

"Great, I will catch you later… I mean see you later… I mean… Bye and I am sorry." He said, leaving with a blush.

We will always find ourselves in awkward situations like for instant the day she caught me naked. Even when I was the victim, I still got hit with flying objects. But I have fallen more in love with her. But as time passed by, she only saw me as a friend, her best friend. So I couldn't make her mine. It was hard at first to accept it and I couldn't shake the disappointment but if I truly love her then I should let her go. After my older sister's death and our victory with the Mad King, our lives were slowly moving apart. Within two years, I learned to love and married Sumia and gained a baby daughter named Lucina. It was a name that Ashley suggested to Sumia and she adored it completely. Fredrick was also a lucky man, he married my sister Lissa and we all lived happily. But as for Ashley, she was too busy with her studies that love never came to her in heart and in mind. I will always find her in the Shepherd lounge, reading book after book. We soon have a new enemy to fight and Ashley wasn't going to rest until we have won.

"Hey Ashley, how are you? It has been awhile." He asked. She changed a lot, her violet grew longer and her body matured beautifully.

"I am fine, Chrom. I am just keeping up with my studies. I don't want to lose my edge on planning our attack." She replied.

"Ashley, I am proud that you are pushing yourself but are you going to focus on life." He asked. She turned to him and smiled.

"I will but I want to win this war so my best friend can live a happy life with his beautiful queen and princess." Ashley said. "Everyone in your kingdom deserves happiness and peace even all of our friends." He pulled her in a hug. "Chrom?"

"You are too much Ashley." He said.

"Chrom, I just want to repay you for the life you have given me. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be here." Ashley said. "I wouldn't have friends and a role to play to protect people. I wouldn't have a purpose but you gave me all that and I am happy that you are my friend."

"As am I, Ashley…" He said. "Ashley, I…"

"My love, is everything okay?" Sumia said, walking in the room. She was carrying a cake. "I hope everything is alright because it is time to begin."

I froze when I saw her. I almost confessed in front of my wife. What was I thinking? I thought I made it clear that Ashley is just my friend but why do I feel I want more than that?

"Hey Sumia, that cake looks so good. And it is a chocolate cake." Ashley said, letting him go and walking towards Chrom's wife. She was eyeing the cake with awe. One thing they know about Ashley is that she loves chocolate. "It is so delicious that I want to eat it."

"You will. Do you know what day is today?" Sumia asked.

"Today? It's a Saturday…" Ashley said, putting some thought. "It is summer and well… I really don't know." Everyone entered the room with smiles on their faces. "Did something happen? Oh no, is it someone birthday?"

"Yup…" Lissa said, giggling. "Someone very special…"

"Don't be daft, you must know what today is." Miriel said.

"I really don't know." Ashley said. "I am a very bad friend to forget such a day."

"Milady, you shouldn't put yourself down." Viron said. "A beauty such as you shouldn't be frowning."

"But I forgot whose birthday is today." Ashley said.

"It's your birthday Ashley." Sumia said. "You finally turned 20. Don't tell me that you forgot."

"I can't believe I forgot my own birthday." Ashley said. "I have been working so hard on strategies that I forgot about my own birthday completely. I can't believe you all remembered."

"Well, o'Teach can never forget about you." Vaike said, smiling. "You are too important to us."

"Yeah, we made it mandatory to celebrate your birthday." Ricken added.

"You have done so much for us that we want to thank you properly." Mirabelle said. "Some cake and tea will be elegant enough for you."

"You are our friend after all." Nowi cheered. "In all my centuries, you are the best friend I have ever had."

"The Gods are smiling towards you and your special day." Libra said. "I prayed for your happiness my dear friend."

"Come on Bubbles, you should be celebrating with sweets instead of getting stuck with those books." Gaius said, smiling.

"I will love to spend time with you Ashley." Tharja added, smiling creepily. "Today is the day someone amazing was born so I must celebrate it."

"I will… we… we will dance together tonight." Olivia said shyly. "I can teach you…."

"Gregor will show you a good time." Gregor said.

"We even have bear meat." Fredrick said. "I hunt the bear myself for you."

"You guys are wonderful." Ashley said, crying. "I love you all so much. I am so happy I have all of you as my family."

We danced and celebrated our special chief tactician's birthday. It was a splendid night for all of us. However, we soon had to go into battle. Her plans were flawless as always and I felt safe around her. I knew she had my back and I had hers. Day after day, we recruit new people but one of I didn't like was him, Henry. He was a whitehead former Dark Mage of Plegia and had an obsession with blood and death. You will never see him with a frown.
