It was a clear day, the cool, crisp air blew gently while the sun warmed up the atmosphere. Cordelia stood guard by the wall bordering Ylisse and Plegia. Everything seemed to be going fine, it was a normal day as she patrolled on foot.

She narrowed her eyes at the horizon, one of her sisters approached her from behind slowly. "Hey there..Little Lady Genius!" The pink haired girl exaggerated the last word as she leaned over the red headed knight.

Cordelia closed her eyes, "why must you call me that, Ellia?" She already knew that the very word irritated her so much.

"I just wanted to pick on you, geez lighten up!" She smiled genuinely with a light pat on her shoulder. "Looks like it's just another booooring day patrolling the border." She pouted sadly.

"Ellia, don't you think it's best that it stays this way?" She sized up the pink haired girl beside her.

"Hmph, yeah..I guess." She held her lance by her side. "But a little action would be nice every once in a while..." Standing guard by the gate was a little tedious.

Cordelia thought hard, Ellia was a veteran, she was about one or two years older than her, but she acted as if she were younger than the red haired knight. She was a friend of Sumia and herself who enjoyed teasing her just as much as the next Ylissean knight.

"What?" She raised an eyebrow at Cordelia.

"It's nothing." She was amused by her reaction.

"Whatever, let's get some supper now..I'm starving." Ellia gripped Cordelia's hand before marching off to their respective pegasi.

Chrom's falchion made contact with a berserker's steel axe. "Gyaahh!" He roared at his opponent while he pushed him off. Everything was going so well, until they were suddenly ambushed by Plegian soldiers. He would've never guessed that the hierarch would trade the Exalt, Emmeryn, to save his own skin.

Robin waved his hand and negated a magic attack. He covered his eyes as the dusty ground blocked his vision.

"Hyaaa!" Someone lept from the dust as the defenseless tactician struggled to open his eyes. Some of the debris had slipped into his pupil, he wouldn't have enough time to react.

"Don't just stand around here!" Vaike yelled as he intercepted the sword's blow with his own steel axe. "Help out Teach will ya?" He grit his teeth before Robin wiped his eye and extended his hand as thunder cracked down on their opponent.

"Thanks Vaike." Robin caught his breath, 'that was too close.' "We should keep pushing forward, we don't want to get caught up from the rear." He advised the reckless fighter.

"Just leave it to me." He replied before helping out the others.

Robin looked up at the sky, things were not going as he had expected.


"And then I was all like hyahh!" Ellia motioned to throw her invisible javelin with her right arm.

Cordelia laughed as she sat with several other knights. They shared several stories while they ate their meals.

"So where's Sumia again?" The pink haired knight asked Cordelia.

"I believe she went on a mission, with Chrom's Shepherds." One of the girls spoke.

'Chrom...' Cordelia lowered her loaf of bread as she thought about the blue haired prince. She never acted like herself around the Ylissean lord.

"...Hey, earth to Cordelia?" Ellia waved her hand at the daydreaming knight. "Oh gods, forgive me.." She swung a fist at the girl's head from across the table snapping her back to reality.

"Ouch" she massaged her right red hair. "What was that for?" She eyed the pink haired girl.

"You've been like that for two whole minutes.." She stood from her seat as the girls silently watched attentively.

- Ring - Ring - Ring -

The table of girls stopped to hear the familiar siren. It only meant one thing, the wall was under attack.

"Prepare for battle, Plegians have been spotted across the border. Take arms and attend to your stations." Their leader spoke aloud as the knights rushed into the supply room to retrieve their weapons and pegasi.

"Finally, some action!" Ellia marched over to the exit followed by her friends.

Cordelia stood up as well and walked after them. There was a wave of uneasiness as she exited the building.


"Watch out!" Robin tackled Lissa as a stray arrow landed into his arm.

The young princess fell back, her yellow dress soiled by the dusty gravel. "Robin!" She ran to his aid as he slowly removed it from his flesh. It hadn't penetrated that deeply, he was fine.

"I'm ok." He waved his hand before standing up. "We have to be more careful, those archers are good shots." His index finger was aimed at the soldiers atop the hills.

"Yeah, but first let me attend to your wound." She moved closer with her staff.

"No, I'm fine. I'll make it through." He winced as the pain bit back. "Just stay out of their range, I'll take them down." He managed to rip a part of his sleeve, and bandaged his wound. It would slow down the bleeding for a while.

"But-"

He gave her a small smile, his eyes ablaze in the midst of battle. "Just do as I say." He ran towards the hills with his hand aimed at the archers.

Lissa reluctantly followed him to make sure he was truly ok.


This was no ordinary force the pegasus knights were facing, Gangrel must've sent at least a few of his best troops as they stormed against the border. Did they know that the Exalt would flee and seek refuge at Regna Ferox?

"Cordelia!" Her captain flew down to meet the red headed knight. "I need you to head out and report to Phila." She steeled herself as their eyes met.

"But my duty is here, with you, my sisters." She furrowed her brow before her captain. "I..I can't just leave you here. Can't you send someone else?" She held her lance, poised for battle.

"No, I'm afraid we can't send anyone else but you." she replied hastily. The battle waged on as some of the pegasus knights were attacked by a volley of arrows. "Now go!" She turned her around towards her steed.

Her eyes found Ellia who ran up to her. "Cordelia!" She rushed up to embrace her tightly, she was already aware that her friend would be leaving to warn Phila and the Exalt. "Take care..."

"You too.." They parted ways as the red headed knight mounted her horse before taking to the sky. She soared above, narrowly dodging several arrows. Screams could be heard as she flew away, she bit back her tears when she thought that it may have been the last time she would see her sisters.


Chrom ran to meet Robin as they finished the last of the warriors on the field, the only one left was Vasto, the Plegian's wyvern leader.

"You doves think...killing me will change anything?" He yelled out at the Shepherds. "Even now, my brothers storm across your precious border." He extended his arms to the sides.

Robin and Chrom glared at Vasto, there may have been truth in his words.

"Go on dear exalted coward! Run! Flee while they slaughter your subjects!" He finally yelled out before Robin held out his hand knocking Vasto off of his wyvern. Chrom was quick to draw falchion as he finished him off with a single strike.

"Gyaahhh!" He crawled on the floor while his hand was pressed against his bleeding chest. His eyes met Chrom's then he turned to face Emmeryn with Phila on her pegasus. Go on, save yourself...Let their faith in you...bleed away...like the rest..." His breathing sped up before his head fell back and his body went limp.

Distraught by Vasto's words, Emmeryn looked away. She realized that this was a bad idea.

Chrom looked back, there was a pegasus knight headed in their direction approaching at great speed. Was it an ally or foe?

Phila recognized the red hair that flowed freely in the sky. "Is that...Gods, Cordelia?!" She focused her eyes on the rider.

The red headed knight hovered over the ground as her pegasus bucked upwards. She was breathing heavily, trying to catch her breath.

"Cordelia?" Robin asked curiously.

"She's one of my knights, young yet, but quite gifted." Phila replied proudly. Her face shifted to concern when she realized Cordelia's sudden appearance. "But she was stationed at the border...Why?!" She knit her brows together. "Oh gods..could that mean?!"

"Prince Chrom! Captain Phila! Beware!" She held up her lance and pointed it at her back. "Enemy reinforcements at the rear! They'll be upon us soon."

Phila stepped down to confront the young knight. "Cordelia, what are you doing here?...Tell me the border remains secure."

The knight clenched her eyes briefly. "That I could milady, but it would be false..." She gripped her lance by her side. "Gangrel himself led his might against us! The end was upon us when my knight-sisters begged me fly and warn the exalt." She looked away breaking Phila's eye contact. "I should have stayed..I should have stayed." She yelled out in frustration and guilt. "Oh gods, I can still hear their screams.." She lowered her head in despair.

"Peace, Cordelia. You did your duty." She focused on the bright haired girl. "Now I ask you to aid us in protecting the exalt."

Robin watched the two closely, she must've gone through a lot today.

"The sisters rightly prized your youth. You've many years to keep their legacy alive." Phila reassured Cordelia as her eyes softened momentarily.

"Uhh, we got company!" Vaike pointed at the Plegians who had already made their way to the rear.

"Protect Emmeryn at all costs." Chrom relayed to the Shepherds.

Cordelia nodded as Phila mounted herself onto her pegasus. This battle was far from over.


The camp fire burned brightly as Cordelia sat before it, it provided her warmth, something familiar that she felt with her knight-sisters.

Earlier that day, after defeating the Plegians, Emmeryn decided to return to Ylisstol. In fear of riot and lack of moral guidance, she fled back to look after her people with the company of Phila and her pegasus knights. She had left Chrom the Fire emblem, Ylisse's most prized possession. With Lissa and Shepherds by his side, they would search for the gems that would unlock its true power.

Cordelia carefully watched the fire eat up the wood beneath it. She felt so..useless. In the end there was nothing she could do to help her fellow sisters.

"Hey," Robin spoke from behind before taking the vacant seat next to her. "Are you ok?"

She gave a weak nod. "I'll be fine." He reassured him.

They both watched the fire burn in silence as the sky lit up with the brilliant stars.

"I wish I could've done something to help them. I..I abandoned them..i'm weak..their legacy deserves better." She pitied herself while she spoke to the tactician.

"Sometimes..." He looked down at the gravel beneath his boots. "Fleeing takes the most courage."

She looked at his direction. There was a sense of wisdom in his words.

"All you can do now..is let the faith they showed in you give you strength." He met Cordelia's eyes, his gaze softening at the crimson haired knight.

"But, how can I go on like this?" She winced remembering her last memories with Ellia and the others. "They were my..my family..." Cordelia broke into tears as she sobbed before Robin.

The tactician scooted closer, he hesitated before putting his arm over her shoulder, affirming her that she was not alone.

She placed her head on his shoulder as she felt her heavy heart weigh her down. She sobbed beside him as he watched the fire burn brightly before dieing down in the darkness.
