"And that's that."

Eirika nodded her head. Her day was… interesting, to say the least. One minute, she was fighting enemies from another world. Next, she was being recruited by said enemies. Finally, she was in a room in some palace for the past four hours having the war against Valm explained to her by a tactician named Robin. It was confusing. She was summoned from a card, recruited through a portal, and kept under the possession of an old pervert. While there wasn't much he could do with a card, Eirika was still scared about her time as a card. However, her current company seemed nice enough. Chrom and his wife Sumia were kind, and Robin was a real riot. She couldn't count how many times she laughed. However, their meeting was soon cut short by a young red haired woman, who she'd sworn she'd seen before, poked her head in,

"Chrom and Sumia? You're needed in the mess hall."

Chrom sighed, "What for Anna?"

Anna sighed, "Vaike"

While Eirika wondered how one name explained a situation, Chrom seemed to understand,

"Sigh… come on, Sumia. Let's go see what 'old teach' has done THIS time."

Sumia faked a smile, "Let's hope it wasn't another dare to eat Sully's cooking."

The two walked out, leaving Robin, Anna, and Eirika alone. There was an awkward silence for a few minutes. Robin went over to a chest in the corner of his room, and dug around until he pulled some blue crest out of it, "Eirika, I couldn't help but notice that you seemed a little… novice with bows."

She shuffled her feet nervously, "Yeah… I'm better with a sword, honestly. But whenever I try to wield one, I can't seem to use it. It's like all the power has… left."

He smiled, "Well THIS can give you that power back. Just hold on to it, and say 'I want to be a myrmidon."

She looked confused, but grabbed it, "O… Okay. I… want to be a myrmidon!"

All of a sudden, the crest started to glow. It spun around, and enveloped her in a bright light. In a few moments, she was out of that infernal dress, and into more comfortable clothing. She also felt her skill returning to her. It was like, ironically enough, wearing a dress you haven't worn in ages.

She smiled, "How did that happen?"

Robin looked down, "I don't know. No one really knows." He suddenly jumped up, "But I swear, one day I WILL find out!"

Anna laughed, "Easy there, Miriel. Anyways, you might want to practice with someone until you get back in the groove of using a blade."

Eirika nodded, "Who'd you have in mind?"

"Well, everyone. I know every single skill and name of everyone in this camp!"

Robin looked at her in disbelief, "When'd this happen?"

Anna rolled her eyes, "Some time. It's really easy. It's just like doing inventory, but instead of checking of elixirs, you check of people! Any ways… Lon'qu could-"

Robin cut her off, "Do you really think Lon'qu will get close enough to a woman as beautiful as Eirika?"

Eirika's face turned red, but neither seemed to notice, "Good point. Owain, maybe?"

Robin shook his head, "He's off with Cynthia to 'Partake in fierce intercourse of unheard of intensity. Meaning either they're training together, or having sex. I don't know which, nor do I want to. Maybe you could, Anna?"

Anna shook her head, "Nah… I actually came in here too…" She whispered something into his ear that Eirika couldn't hear.

Robin looked confused, "What do you mean you want to make Morgan- ooohhh…."

Robin's face grew red, "Well, then. You're out of the question… maybe Gaius?"

Anna nodded, "Yeah… Gaius could work." She faced Eirika, "Go into the east wing of the palace, to room 234. Tell him we'll give him four sticky buns if he trains you.

"Sticky buns?"

Anna rolled her eyes, "Don't ask."

Eirika nodded, and left the building. She stood there outside the door for a few moments, processing everything that happened. At least, until she heard Anna moaning from the room. While she was naïve, she wasn't THAT naïve, and quickly ran off to find Gaius.
