"Hahahaha! You can never catch a member of the Justice Cabal!" Owain shouted as he charged down one of the long, stone corridors of Castle Ylisstol.
After Grima had been defeated at the hands of Robin, the Shepherds went their separate ways. Many returned home, accompanied by their future children, others went on quests by themselves. Chrom and Sumia had become the king and queen of the Halidom of Ylisse, and so they returned to Castle Ylisstol, which was nestled on a small hill overlooking Ylisstol itself, along with the ever-faithful Frederick, and Lissa. Of course, their families had come along as well, so Cordelia, Owain, Kjelle (Owain and Kjelle had gotten married), Lucina, Cynthia, Morgan and Gerome (Gerome had married Morgan, so he decided to go with her instead of going to Ferox with Cherche and Lon'qu) had all decided to stay with the royals. Owain, Cynthia and Morgan had formed "The Justice Cabal," which was a force dedicated to the safety of Ylisseans everywhere... Really, it was just an excuse for them to get into all sorts of trouble. Their story today was that an evil army of shadow bugs was trying to take over the realm, so they needed Queen Sumia's favourite vase (Which was large and dark grey, with pink flowers and blue dragons spiralling around them), and perform a ritual on it to stop the shadow bugs. Owain had been sent to take the vase, but he had been caught by what he called "The Serious-Knights" (Lucina, Kjelle and Gerome), and they started chasing him.
"Darn... Why must he be able to run so fast?" Gerome thought out loud as he sprinted after the blonde-haired boy, who was skidding around corners and leaping over surprised soldiers, clutching the vase to his chest.
"Shut up and run!" Kjelle barked at him. She raised a silver axe, and threw it at Owain like a boomerang. He jumped over it, laughed, and suddenly jumped out of the window in front of him. He landed on the grass on the other side, and did a forward roll, before getting up and sneaking around the left side of the castle.
"He got away... Again." Lucina sighed as she muttered rude things about her cousin under her breath. She knew that Owain never meant any harm, but he was still... Annoying. Lucina had started hating him after an incident where Owain was sent by Cynthia to take Lucina's wedding ring, to "purify" it. That ring was the only thing she had left to remind herself of Robin, the man that had protected her life on the battlefield countless times, even when it came at the cost of him getting a nasty scar, or even near-fatal wounds. The man that had sacrificed himself, to save the future. When she had caught Owain, his right arm was broken for a few weeks, even when healing magic and vuneraries were used on him.
"Well, we know where their base is. It won't be too hard to find them." Kjelle had a look of tired anger on her face.
"...I have an idea..." Gerome said, in his usual, quiet voice. Lucina and Kjelle looked at him, intrigued...
