New kid in town

Intro

The realm of Ylisse was calm for a while. Other than regular trips around the kingdom and handling the brigands there wasn't much trouble. Lucina, The current commander of the Shepherds was for the most part in good spirits. Her father would be in charge but he currently is in the capitol Yistol taking a well-deserved break with his wife Olivia. In fact a good portion of the Shepherds were either in Yistol or else visiting their home towns. Cherche is in wvyern Valley wit Minerva, Donnel is back visiting his mom, and so on and so forth. Only a couple of the original Shepherds stayed while they made one of their final trips around the realm before coming home for the last couple weeks of the year. One of the few who stayed was Robin. Although not staying with his wife Cordelia, or Chrom he was helping his daughter Morgan who thought that this was a perfect time to put her skills to the test by becoming the main tactician for this trip. For the most part she was very good on her own but her dad was always there to help and add his input which she was grateful for.

Severa who was "trying" to be more considerate has been taking on extra chores and jobs around camp and has even to be seen smiling every once and a while. Also being the older sister she realizes that she needs to look out for Morgan since she still doesn't have her memory back. She takes it upon herself to tell off anyone who appears to be picking on her "Little Morgan" (she only says that when no one else is around). One person taking a lot of verbal and sometimes physical punishment from Severa is Inigo since he is constantly following around Morgan and asking for advice about girls. Although Morgan is clever she doesn't see that Inigo is trying to get advice to ask her out and not just some random girls he meets when in another town. Severa saw through this almost immediately when she overheard them last speak. After she confronted him with a dagger and warned him not to hurt her little sister. Although Morgan wasn't ever bothered by Inigo, she has been shrugging him off because of the added pressure she has now that she is making most of the difficult decisions. A Little deterred from this, and not knowing the real reason why he is being ignored, Inigo's smile is a little more forced and less legitimate.

Norie has learned a lot of skills hanging around Brady since they spend a lot of time together being in the infirmary together a lot. She can now heal most minor injuries learning from Brady. Brady also has learned a lot of new things from Norie. He is now practicing every day with a bow and arrow so he can prove that he can fight. Learning a lot from Norie he can now be left alone with a bow and arrow and not be a danger to all in the camp. He can almost hit the target every time. All of this and they are also going through Kilje's training program. She is pushing them to almost to their breaking points but they are determined to fight.

While Owain and Cynthia train together with their unorthodox fighting style with the catchphrases, weapon names, and signature move names; Laurent decides to make a case study about the two. He wants to see what drives the two to act in such a way with their personalities. Although he has collected a lot of notes he has seem to have "misplaced" them every so often. What he doesn't know is that Yarne is secretly stealing them so he can copy them down so he can learn how to be brave like Owain or Cynthia.

Nah has been practicing also, she is trying to work so she isn't so tired when she transforms and turns back again. Since she is so young in a manakete life cycle she isn't use to changing like her thousand year old mother, being only a teenager in human years. She is also has been seen, not hanging around with Gerome, but with his wyvern future Minerva. Sometimes as a dragon and sometimes not. Gerome is incredibly annoyed by this and has yelled at her quite a few times but has seem to have simply gotten over it for how many times she does it. He also noticed that Minerva is a lot happier having someone else who is not Cherche, Lon Qu, or Gerome giving her attention. It makes her easier to care for in Gerome's mind so he (although never admits it) is very thankful for Nah's hospitality to Minervakins.

Everything seems to be going smoothly for the Shepherds and they will be soon home and Lucina can't wait to see her father again. Being away for a month felt like she was back in her old timeline when he was killed. She couldn't bare it for much longer. Even if she knows of the war that is slowly moving closer from Vlam again (why do they like fighting over there she thought) the time of peace was upon them now and she was grateful for it. But what lucina doesn't know is that how short of time their time of peace really is.
