'What am I doing outside?' I thought, my eyes flying open. My mind was fuzzy, and the more I tried to think of how ended up here the worse my headache got. I ended up staring at the sky for a while as the clouds rolled past overhead. Nothing made sense, and with my memory acting up on me I doubted anything would soon.

"Where do you think you're going with my brother?!" she shouted angrily. I spun around, and took in her appearance. She wore a cloak similar to mine, though that was where the similarities ended. Her hair was pulled into a pony tail and braided along each side; plus it was black. Her eyes were dark blue, and currently narrowed.

"Willow, is that you?" I asked in disbelief. She sent me a look that was both relieved, and concerned.

"'Course it is," she said nodding a bit, "Just what's going on here anyway?"

The man with blue hair admonished the other quietly, but with authority, "The land is known as the Halidom of Ylisse. Our ruler, Emmeryn, is called the exalt. I suppose introductions are in order…" he trailed off for a moment, "my name is Chrom- but then, you already knew that."

"Umm… I didn't" I offered. The man cracked a smile before continuing.

"Yes well, the delicate one here is my little sister Lissa," the blue haired man said. The blond girl, who'd somehow gotten off the horse at some point, glared at him.

"I am not delicate!" Lissa huffed a bit, "Ignore my brother, please. He can be a bit thick sometimes," I snickered a little, "But you're lucky the Shepherds found you. Brigands would have been a rude awakening!"

I shared a glance with my brother before I spoke, "Shepherds? You tend sheep? … In full armor?"

"How peculiar," my brother said.

The man with blue hair laughed, "Heh, it's a dangerous job. Just ask Frederick the wary here."

I shifted a bit, and that's when the branch let out a creak. I stiffened, and held my breath but then the branch snapped. I let loose a silent curse, all the while screaming as I fell. After hitting most of the branches on the way down I was jolted to a stop. The world was upside down, and the group of five were staring at me. I swallowed before smiling awkwardly.

"Um… would any of you mind giving me a hand?" I asked, "I appear to be stuck."

"What were you doing in a tree?!" Lissa asked.

"Sleeping… for the most part," I admitted, "Then you all came along and woke me up. So, then now that you know, could I get some help?"

"Of course," Chrom said after a moment, "Just hold on one second."

"Milord," Frederick said and I tensed a bit, "I suggest you hold off on helping this stranger for a moment."

"Don't mind me I'm just hanging here," I said, "But if you're worried about me being a stranger, the name's Akiri."

Chrom looked between me and the two wearing similar cloaks, "Robin, Willow and Akiri? Are those foreign?" he asked; I didn't know about the other two but mine definitely was, "Ah, well. We can discuss it later. We're almost to town."

Before he could help me down Frederick stopped him, "I wouldn't be taking this Akiri anywhere with us without chains. She wears the crest of an assassins guild."
