It has been two months since the brown haired Robin and the army defeated Grima. The future children didn't want to be a burden on their "parents", but Robin and Panne couldn't just abandon them, so they insisted Yarne and Morgan stay with them to form a family. With Panne being alone for so long, she was overjoyed to finally be a part of a family unit again with the people she loved. She also had more family members being prepared in her womb.

"I want as many babies as I can produce," Panne said proudly.

"Umm… heh, heh…. Sure…," Robin reluctantly said. He wasn't sure if he could produce the money and space for all that, but he loved his wife and he would do whatever it takes to make her happy. He was glad she was this way because when they met she didn't care at all about preserving the taguel race.

"What is the point of continuing the taguel in a man-spawn's world; they would just kill us all over again. I couldn't take that pain for a second time," she had said before. But ever since they fell in love and met their future children, he could see the hope coming back into her eyes. She had something to live for this time and she saw that not all humans are bad. In fact, most were shocked that any human could do such a thing to another intelligent species with little differences from their own race.

The family lived in a spacious two-story house in Ylisstol, bought from the spoils of war. Robin tried to put as many taguel decorations in their home as he could find, but Panne insisted that she didn't need such trinkets. "My new clan is enough for me," she would say, her belly already rounding from her litter of children that will be born sooner than human babies. They were happy and content at the moment, but that would soon change when given an unexpected choice.

On a hot summer day, the family received a message from the town's messenger.

"Hello," Robin greeted him as he opened the door.

"Hello, Sir Robin, I have a message from Chrom, 'Robin, I have an important matter to discuss with you and your family, please come to the castle as soon as possible.'"

"Hmm, this sounds serious; what's this about?"

"That was all he said, sir."

"Alright thank you. I'll inform the rest and be there quickly. Have a good day." The messenger nodded and left.

Panne was sitting on a recliner and overheard the message, "I sense something odd going on; why would Chrom want everyone to come?"

"I have no idea, but we won't find out just sitting here. I'll go tell Yarne and Morgan to get ready." He then left to go upstairs. Panne got up and went to gaze out of the window. She could see children outside playing. She rubbed her belly and smiled.

"I'm sure everything will be fine. Things have been too good around here to suspect anything wrong."

Morgan and Yarne were wrestling, well at least Morgan was.

"Let me play with your ears," Morgan urged.

"No, not the ears they're sensitive!" Morgan was envious of Yarne's ears since hers were normal human ears.

"Break it up you two; we are going to the castle." Morgan then hopped of Yarne to his relief.

"What for?" Morgan asked.

"I'm not sure myself, but we'll find out when we get there."

The family then headed out. As they walked toward the castle, they noticed the tranquility and happiness Ylisse has been in since Grima's defeat. They didn't know what paradise was like, but this was probably as close as you could get to it. When they arrived, Chrom and Sumia were on their thrones beaming. They got up and hugged everyone.

"It's been too long, Robin," Chrom said.

"Yes it has, I've been meaning to visit you sooner, but things kept coming up."

"No worries. I can see you had responsibilities to attend to," he glanced at Panne's stomach which was at point where anyone could tell she was pregnant. Robin blushed.

"Anyway, what was so urgent that we all needed to be here?" Robin asked anxiously. Chrom then adopted a more serious look.

"I have news about other taguel." The family looked at Chrom in shock.

"You mean there are other taguel out there?" Panne asked.

He nodded. "While Miriel and Laurent were on their research travels, they discovered a pack of taguel hiding out in the forest. The taguel hurriedly fled when they noticed them, but she said that there was no mistaking that they were taguel. I called you because I thought that maybe you would want to go and try to meet them. Maybe even some of your old clan is still alive," Chrom explained as he looked at Panne.

Panne didn't know what to make of it all. She had thought for all these years that she was the last of her kind and had given up on finding any taguel. The family took some time to absorb all that was said.

"I want…..I want to try to find them," Panne said breaking the silence. Robin looked at her in surprise.

"But we need you resting. We wouldn't want anything to happen to the babies," Robin argued.

"You underestimate a taguel's strength, my love. I am perfectly capable of traveling without the need of worry." It's true that the Panne was stronger than Robin expected a pregnant woman would be. She showed no signs of typical human pregnancy and in fact seemed even healthier than before. But still he worried.

"I think we should discuss this more at home."

"I agree," Chrom added. "This is an important decision that should take time to decide. I will leave you to it."

"Thank you, Chrom," both Robin and Panne said. They left and as they walked home there was a noticeable tension that wasn't there when they were heading to the castle.

They returned home and as the door closed Yarne started, "Mother,…. Morgan, Father, and I can go search there ourselves. I couldn't stand it if anything happened to you."

Morgan nodded with a stern look. "Besides, we don't know what would happen if you turn into beast form while pregnant." Panne thought about what Morgan just said. She never knew any pregnant taguel, so she didn't know if it was safe to change into her beast form especially since the babies were half human.

"You are all correct about the potential danger, but I could not forgive myself if I did not search for my brethren after all these years. Long after the mass genocide, I searched and searched for any taguel and gave up after years of searching. Now I finally know where they are and I just can't pass up the chance to finally be reunited and find out more about my race. Besides, I would want them to meet all of you, which can give them hope if they are in the situation that I was in before."

"I understand where you're coming from, but Panne…..," Panne then looked at Robin with a face he knew all too well. Her face was in a scowl and her eyes were fierce. When she was like this there was no convincing her.

"I will not let you go without me."

"Then I won't go."

"Then I will go by myself." He knew that was definitely not an option. He brought his head down and sighed. He slowly started rising up while laughing.

"What's so funny?" Morgan asked.

"Your mother's determination is something of wonder. If she wants this that much then how could I possibly refuse her."

"Thank you, Robin." To her surprise, he then picked her up in a hug and slightly spun her around. She couldn't hold back the laughter and planted a kiss on his forehead.

"Well then, let's start getting ready."

There were tears forming in Yarne's eyes. "I already lost one mother; I don't want lose another."

"Don't worry, I will make sure to avoid trouble, I would not forgive myself if I let any of you down. I swear on my fallen clan that I will be unharmed."

She then went to hug Yarne, and then Morgan joined in and hugged them both. She moved her head to signal her dad over. He joined in and hugged everyone. They hugged for awhile.

Then Yarne finally said, "Umm, I'm getting kind of hot." They laughed and separated.

"I'll go tell Chrom of our decision and get the information on the location."

"Yay, Adventure!" Morgan exclaimed. Panne's determination inspired them all. He left for the castle as the others were packing for the trip.

At night, Panne and Robin were lying in their bed together.

"You know Panne, I will always be here for you. If you need anything or are unsure of anything please let me know," Robin explained as he rested his hand on her cheek. Panne smiled; tears welling up in her eyes.

"You are very sweet Robin, my mate, .…..no, my soul mate. I know you worry for me, and I promise I will always be here just the same. I could not have asked for a better family. I just want any other taguel to experience the bliss in this world that I'd not thought possible."

Robin leaned in and kissed her. Panne then threw the covers over both of them. Due to their hearing ability, Yarne and Morgan heard them both throughout the night.

At sunrise, they awoke and prepared for the long trip. After they were finished, they headed for the port on the east of the continent. On the way there, they received strange looks from passersby's. Robin noticed Panne looked displeased and chimed in.

"They're probably not used to seeing taguel." Robin reassured.

"I know," Panne began. "Hopefully we will manage to educate the masses on our presence, as to not repeat the past. This trip gives me hope that the taguel will have a place in the world again and that there would be no need for other survivors to hide." Robin always envied her resolution and pride for her race. She knew how to make the most out of a situation.

After they neared some forests, Panne said, "I want to take a short detour since we are near the area."

"Where to?"

"My old warren."

They traveled southeast to the warren, located amidst a densely packed forest. They entered a clearing and saw the remains of what looked like a mining area. After further inspection, Robin could tell these were destroyed homes built into the hillside. He took notice of the different types of architecture of the area. They used many circular forms of building like the entrances being of a circle shape, looking similar to a bunny hole. It was likely that they had many tunnel connections to other homes inside of the hill as all the house entrances were close together. The foliage around the area was beautiful even though it was overgrown. Yarne and Morgan went to explore the insides.

"It must have been truly a sight to behold."

"It was…," Panne said looking distressed. Robin came over to hold her hand.

"I wouldn't mind living in places like this. We could try to build our own warren one day."

Panne smiled. "I would like that."

She stared up at the sky with her hands to her chest. Robin left to give her some alone time. About 15 minutes later, she returned with Yarne and Morgan.

"Alright let's go."

Back on path they started again to the port. Morgan and Yarne suggested they turn into beast form so their parents can ride them to get there faster. They were hesitant at first, but the children just kept insisting so the rode them for a few miles. Finally, they arrived at the port. They were just in time to catch the ship to the east continent of Talis.

On board, Yarne succumbed to seasickness and complained the whole ride.

"Are we there yet?" Morgan repeated to her father merely to bother him.

He went on the top deck to see Panne. She was standing near the edge of the boat with the wind blowing her hair as the sun shone down on her. She was a thing of beauty. He snuck up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her in close.

"You're beautiful, you know."

Panne giggled. "Yes, I heard it from you several times." She turned her head around and kissed him. Morgan and Yarne were watching.

"They're so beautiful together," Morgan said entranced. Yarne then vomited.

"Nice timing," Morgan said sarcastically.

"I can't help it!" Yarne cried as he went below the deck to try to rest.

They arrived at the east continent at sunset.

"Let's head to the forest tomorrow and rest at the inn tonight." Robin suggested. The family agreed and went to the inn.

At sunrise, they were finally ready and anxious for the trip to the forest. They decided to ask around about the forest before going in. Apparently, there was a rumor of monsters in the forest so no one ever went. Robin thought that that's probably why Miriel and Laurent wanted to investigate it.

They headed into the forest marking the areas they passed by so they wouldn't get lost. The trees extended much higher than those of Ylisse with thick treetops that barely let any sunlight hit the ground. The forest left an eerie vibe that would discourage any wanderers from entering.

"Stay close, everyone," Robin warned.

Panne then started to sniff the air. "That smell….. I recognize it," she said excitedly continuing to sniff the air. "It's the smell of taguel."

"I smell it, too," Yarne added.

"We must be almost there; lead the way Panne," Robin encouraged.

They followed Panne to eventually come to a clearing with a hill. They immediately noticed the similar architecture of the warren hidden in the hill. Two teen-aged people were playing around outside. One was bunny-like while the other had black wings. The two noticed the family and called out to the home. A bunny-like man came running out of the hillside entrance, but stopped in his tracks.

"Panne?" he said.
