I know there is alot of talking in this chapter but it would be a very long chapter if I did the fight aswell.
oOoOoOo
We had made it to Ylissetol by the next morning. The capital was amazing, it was full of people and I didn't see anyone who wasn't happy.
I looked around at the mass of people, "So this is Ylissetol, capital of Ylisse... I've never seen so many people!" I think I never saw this many people anyway.

"It appears the capital was spared the chaos we encountered, thank the gods. I see no evidence of the great quake. It must've been limited to the forest." Frederick sounded relieved.

"Well, thats a relief." Lissa was quite joyful today, and I have decided I find her slightly annoying in this mood.

I heard an old villager speak up "Look! The exalt has come to see us!"

"The exalt is your ruler, yes?" I looked at the blond woman walking through town followed by pegasus knights, she wore green and had the same emblem that Chrom did on her fore head, she also had a calm and peaceful air to her.

"Yes. Chrom already told you this buy, her name is Lady Emmeryn." Frederick replied.

"Is it safe for her to walk amongst commoners like this?" I don't know why I asked, I didn't really care who their leader was, but I felt compelled to.

"The exalt is a symbol of peace - Ylisses most prized quality. Long ago, at the dawn of our age, The Fell dragon tried to destroy the world. But the first exalt joined forces with the Divine dragon and laid the beast low. Exalt Emmeryn reminds us all the peace we fought for then." Frederick told me, but I didn't really need to know the history just the answer to my question.

"With Plegia pocking at our borders, the people need her. She's a calming presence, when some might otherwise call for war." Chrom spoke fondly of her.

"Then the Ylissean people are indeed lucky to have her." I nodded, still taking in the sights, and scents, of the town.

"She's also the best big sister anyone could ask for!" Lissa spoke up.

"Yes, I imagine she..." It then just hit me, "Wait, what? She's your... but wouldn't that make you and Chrom..." Are royalty. I trailed of before completing my scentance.

"The prince and princess of the realm, yes. You remember chrom's name and not this?" Frederick gave me another you've-got-to-be-kidding-me look, he still didn't fully trust me yet.

"Of course I didn't know, you said you were "Shepherds"!" I suddenly felt nervous and slightly panicked

"And so we are... in a manner of speaking. We just have a LOT of sheep." Chrom smiled and laughed a little.

I remembered how I acted, "OHMYGODS! C-chrom.. I mean, Prince Chrom! Sire! Forgive my dreadful manners!"

"Just chrom is fine. I've never been much for formalities."

I breathed and calmed down, "The prince and princess... That explains why Frederick tolerates all the teasing, eh?" Hence all the milord and milady. I thought to myself.

"Indeed. Oh, the sacrifices I make for the good of the realm..." Frederick sighed.

Chrom spoke, "It looks like Emm is returning to the palace. Would you like to meet her?" Chrom walked towards the palace.

(Later)

Inside the palace was another amazing sight. There were blue banners hung up on the walls with the same symbol Emmeryn and Chrom had, and most of the decor was blue. Emmeryn was stood at the end of a hall talking to a Pegasus knight.

She turned towards us as we walked up, "Chrom! Lissa! Welcome home. Oh, and good day, Frederick. How fared you all?"

"Well- we shouldn't have any bandit problems for a while." Chrom replied.

"Wonderful. And our people?"

"Safe as they can be, Emm. But we still need to watch the borders. The brigands crossed over from Plegia."

"Forgive me, milord. My pegasus knights should have intercepted them." Said the pegasus knight who was talking to Emmeryn earlier.

Chrom shook his head before speaking, "No, Phila. Your duty was here, with the exalt."

"And besides, we had plenty of help!" Lissa spoke up and pointed towards me.

"Ah, you speak of your new companion here?" Emmeryn looked at me, to my suprise she didn't question the fact that I had wings and wolf ears and tail and also the fact that I had a small dragon on my shoulder.

"This is sulfura. She fought bravely with us against the brigands. I've decided to make her a shepherd." After Chrom spoke I looked straight at him.

Since when was I one of you? I only agreed to come back to the capital with you. I thought to myself, He's gonna get a talking to later. Frederick didn't look to pleased either.

"It sounds as though Ylisse owes you a debt of gratitude, Sulfura."

I snapped out of my thoughts and responded to Emmeryn, "Not at all, milady!"

"Forgive me, your grace, but I must speak." Frederick stepped forwards and I knew what was coming, "Sulfura claims to have lost her memory, but it is only that: a claim. We cannot rule out the possibility that she is a brigand herself or even a Plegian spy."

"Frederick!" Chrom gave him a rather serious look.

"Yet you allowed her into the castle, Chrom. Does this woman have your trust?" Emmeryn asked.

"Yes. She risked her life for our people and my own. That's good enough for me." Chrom replied along with a brief nod.

Emmeryn turned to me, "Well then, sulfura... it seems you've earned Chrom's faith, and as such you have mine as well."

"I thank you, milady." I bowed, trying not to freak out like I nearly did with Chrom earlier.

She then turned to Frederick, "But thank you, Frederick, for your prudence, as always. Chrom and Lissa are blessed to have so tireless a guardian. I do hope they remember to mention that from time to time..."

"They occasionally express something akin to gratitude, your grace." He looked at the pegasus knight, "Phila, I assume you've heard about the deathly creatures we encounter, yes?"

Phila nodded before speaking, "Yes, milord. They've been sighted all across Ylisse."

"Chrom, we are about to hold council. I was hoping you could join us." Emmeryn asked.

"Of course." Chrom replied before walking off with his older sister, Frederick and Phila following closely behind.

Lissa grabbed my wrist, "I think that's our cue, Sulfura! c'mon, there's a place I want to show you." Before I got a chance to reply Lissa dragged me away by the arm.

(Later)

Lissa took me to the Shepherds' garrison and introduced me to all the other Shepherds, there was Maribelle, she acted rather coldly towards me but Lissa said she warms up to people slowly, then there was Vaike, he kept refering to himself as 'Teach' or in third person, he did think a little highly of his abilities but was very forgetful, and finally there was Sumia, she was clumsy, easily embarrased and only in-training at the moment, we could all tell she was very fond of Chrom. And somehow I had ended up as the new tactician, Chrom was DEFINATLY getting a talking to later, I don't care if he is the prince or not.

By the time I had been introduced to everyone it was dark and Lissa, still in an annoyingly joyful mood, showed me to were I would stay when we were at the palace, and at the same time gave me a small tour.

I was sat in a tree out in the garden thinking about what had happened in the past couple of days. Lissa had told me that Chrom sometimes used this part of the garden to train new recruits. I was going to find Chrom and question him about how he somehow decided what was going to happen in my life but I didn't know how long these meetings lasted or what he did in the afternoons. Why has this happened to me? Who was I before all this, and why do I only remember a few things? I thought to myself and sighed, looking up at the sky and clutching my pendant in my right hand, it was a full moon and the stars could be seen well from here. I was about to jump down until I heard footsteps approach, Chrom.

"I wasn't expecting you to be here." He said looking up at the tree.

"Yeah, well I had alot to think about." I jumped down and faced him, "Anyway, what do you think you were doing making me one of you without asking me first."

"I had a talk with Lissa the other night and she agreed."

I glared at him and he stepped back slightly, "Well you..." I sighed again, It's too late to argue about this now, "Well, you should of atleast told me about it before-hand so I didn't have to find out by being introduced to people. I might of had other plans."

"Ah, I should of, sorry. But do you?"

I shrugged, "No but I could of."

"Thought so. We needed a tactition anyway and you had nowhere to go." He smiled and laughed slightly.

I shook my head, "You trust people to easily. What would you have done if Frederick was right and I was planning to kill you."

"People tend to say that but it would have been my problem to deal with. And besides wouldn't you have done it by now if you were?" He talked like he had been told this many times before, likely by Frederick.

"That's not the point Chrom, it's not just your own problem. You need to think of your sisters and the other Shepherds AND your people." I don't know why but I felt slightly defensive like I had this talk with someone else before.

Chrom pulled a thoughtful face, "I never thought of that before, I guess I should be more careful."

I smiled and started to walk off, "Good, now I'm off to get some sleep and possibly look over some battle stratigies seeing though I'm am now a tactician. Night" I waved and went inside. Wow what a day it's been and I think I might have learned a little about myself then aswell.
oOoOoOo
So that's chapter 3 up and running. After next chapter I'll be following the script less closely mainly because it's a pain to write down the real thing and pausing the game every 3 secounds and also because the close scenes between Chrom and Sumia annoy me, I'm not a big fan of Sumia or Lissa. AND REVIEW, I need ideas to pair Sumia with. I have also just realised that I have spelt tactician as tactition like 5 times but you get the idea and I can't be bothered to change it and I am planning to rewrite this chapter.
