Well after that big shocker of an cliff-hanger, what do I have left. There was a reason I told you guys you were allowed to ship yourself with any shepherd. Not much more to stay for a intro here, so let's start this chapter, and see if you can see what's coming next.
Chapter 3
Answers
I looked at Shanzira, in pure shock. She's the queen, but how? Sumia married Chrom, she should be queen. What the hell is going on?
"Milady is also one of the few fliers we have left," Frederick spoke up. What?
"Well most of them aren't gone, just lost their mounts. If we could find them some pegasi we have more fliers, but who's leading them now. Taylen, Eillie, Eleanor, Alina, Julianna are mountless," Quick-step tossed a dumpling into the air, and ate like a piece of popcorn.
"The only pegasus riders we have left are the recruits with about only three years of experience,," Percival pointed out.
"Yeah, Phila's death wasn't good. We got like seven pegasus knights and they'll around the same level," Quick-step only shrugged.
"With Phila's death, that added to the other ones, well Kia who betrayed us to Walhart. Olette, Marisa, Ariel, Meghan, and Sumia," Percival shook his head. Wait did he said Sumia was died? No. No not Sumia. How?
"I'll decide it later," Robin spoke up. WHEN THE FUCK DID HE GET BACK IN THE TENT.
"That's why you're the tactician, its your job," Jolt Zacks drained a mug of his drink. How many has he drank?
"Noted," Robin didn't even turn around.
"Dude, chill on the drinks. You had like thirty drinks. We might be attacking in two days, but you're going to be hungover," Quick-step chuckled at what he said. Depending on the proof and how fast he's been drinking, he's probably still good.
"I can still fight well. Vaike get over here," Jolt Zacks slammed his drink on the table.
"No," Vaike shook his head.
"I said get over here, we are sparing," The dragon elf glared at the warrior with eyes of gold.
"We are sparring," Vaike walked over to him like he was possessed. So he can still do that here? What is the limit of his power?
"Dragon Art: Blaze dragon fist," Jolt Zacks slammed a fist of fire straight into Vaike, and sent him flying. Vaike slammed into the tent wall, and slumped to the ground.
"Knight Chop," Percival slammed his hand into the dragon elf's neck and sent him into the table, only for pillow to be exactly where his head hit. Pretty sure that was Quick-step's doing.
"You know I'm surprised you haven't killed someone is sparring matches," Quick-step chuckled. He was sitting exactly in the same spot, like he didn't move, but he had.
"And yet its never caused a issue," Isaac strummed his guitar. I looked around trying to see what shepherds I could spot. I saw all of them, expect for Lon'qu, Kellam, Kjelle, Laurent, Miriel, Rose, Stahl, Gerome, Well I'm not worried about Kellam, because you know he's hard as blyat to find. The others, they're were are they? Where's Rose, Lon'qu, Stahl, Miriel, Kjelle, Laurent, Gerome.
"Who else is gone?" I asked to anyone, at the same time. Please tell me I'm wrong.
"Amphy," Erin gave a sorrow sigh. Amphy. Does she mean Amphitrite, her horse? HOW DID SHE DIE?
"We've lost Lon'qu, Stahl, Miriel, Roy, Andy, Red, Zeph, Arthur, Ren, Kjelle, Laurent, Phila, Marisa, Matthew, Olette, Sumia, Kia, Jack, , Amelia, Neimi, Alm, Seth, Eldigan, Erak, Nova, Axl,Eteng, Athlore, Zalianah,Shade,Mostin,Angeline, Zalfel, Jess,Titania, Oinai,Celia,Nate,Spire,," Robin looked at me, in almost tears. All them dead? I don't remember that many shepherds. Wait did he say Seth. As in Link's real name or Seth the einharjar. No calm yourself Ron, It can't be Link. He never uses his real name Seth anymore. Link's basically become his name. Also Robin didn't name Rose. Does that mean she's still alive? If she is good. Noah doesn't need to lose her.
"Wait, what about? What about? What? Huh I can't remember. Didn't we lose a saber?" Erin looked back from Robin to me. She looked really confused.
"I don't think so," Robin looked at me.
"But I'm positive, we did. I didn't imagine him?" Erin looked at me, while she said this. I've got a bad feeling I'm that saber she's talking about.
"How can we have had a saber that no one remembers. Does anyone remember the shepherds she is talking about?" Robin questioned everyone.
"Well it would help if I knew who the hell she is talking about," Dusty pointed out. That comment hurt, seriously.
"The only sabers we have are Kirito, Jolt, and, and damn it who was the third one?" Noah questioned himself.
"There wasn't a third one," Robin looked at Noah annoyed. If anyone should be annoyed, its me, YOU'RE THE REASON NO REMEMBERS ME.
"I'm not a saber, I'm a dragon knight," Jolt Zacks pointed out.
"There's talking about me," Jolt looked at the other Jolt.
"Who the hell are you?" Jolt Zacks looked at him.
"Jolt," Jolt pointed out.
"Guys if you are done with your food, we have the training circle in a hour," Robin looked annoyed. I'm guessing that's not the first time the two Jolts got mixed up.
"What's training circle?" I looked at him. We've never had anything like that before.
"You'll find out," Quick-step gave a smirk. How about a straightforward answer.
Well I did find out after a hour had passed. Turns out its just the shepherds in a circling around. two fighters which Robin picked. We've done most of the shepherds.
"Quick-step and Kirito," Robin called out. The two took their stance in the circle. Kirito drew his black and crystal blue swords,While Quick-step drew his emerald blade of courage from his jacket. Oh god damn it. I've been keeping my swords where he just. Not doing that anymore.
"Kick his ass," Taylen shouted to the knight. I'll say the same to Kirito.
"You can do it Kirito," Ilithya cheered out to him. Did that line sound really cliche?
"Try and keep up," Kirito started running around Quick-step in circles.
"Nice move," Quick-step flash-stepped and Kirito was out of his speed circle. "But you need more then some speed to beat me,"
"Well how about this. STARBURST STREAM," Kirito attacked him with those curved circle slashes. Only for Quick-step to block each strike. Sixteen strikes from two swords at incredible speed was just blocked by one sword.
"Still not going to work," Quick-step swung his sword and knocked Kirito onto the ground.
"Kirito," Ilithya ran to the fallen saber.
"Sorry I might have used more power then I meant to," Quick-step.
"I'm not done yet," Kirito stood back up.
"Kirito," Ilithya looked at him with such worried eyes.
"I failed to do anything to save him then, I swore I would be strong enough to protect the people I care about. My mama, my otets, even you," Kirito looked at her. "I'll have to beat everyone who gets in my way,"
"All right, good luck," Ilithya kissed him on the cheek and went back to her spot. Their interactions are so adorable.
"I watched my dad die once, and when I came back I swore I save him, and I will be strong enough when I find him," Kirito took his battle stance. You didn't just say that.. Robin you don't know how annoyed I am right now.
"Well then let's end this. Once last strike. A battle of swords is always at its most powerful in the final strike," Quick-step held his sword behind him like he was going to drag it. Then he got into a charge stance.
"Alright, I won't let this world beat me. and you are part of it," Kirito charged right at Quick-step, and the swordsmen ended up across from each other. Quick-step fell to the ground, and Kirito looked like he wasn't even hit. Quick-step threw it why?
"Alright next match, Rose vs Cynthia," Robin ordered and Cynthia walked to the circle. You know what I don't get. How do we have Cynthia? If Sumia's dead before chapter 11, and she has to be dead before chapter eleven because that's when Chrom has to be married by. Why does Cynthia have Chrom's hair color. Seriously how did that happen? Is there a massive screw up in the timeline, or did Sumia marry someone with the same hair color that Chrom has. I said that shock me the most, but what really did was the pink haired pegasus rider who walked to face Cynthia. It was the same one that I couldn't recognize. Wait that was Rose? Where's her mask, and why did she stop wearing it? Her face is pretty. I figured she was burnt or something. She looks perfectly fine.
"Bring the pain Rose. Yum pain," Elliot shouted out in the biggest smile he had. Right we don't have Luna.
"Begin" Robin shouted and the two pegasus knights charged at each other stabbing, and slashing with their spears.
"This is the end, friend," Cynthia charged straight at Rose.
"whose?" Rose ducked another Cynthia's strike, and smacked her with the end of her spear.
"Time to pay," Cynthia shouted and gave another strike.
"I can do this," Rose deflected the strike, and struck Cynthia again.
"Hope you're ready!," Cynthia tried another critical hit. Only for Rose to strike her in the head, and she went down. Since when did three critical hits fail to work at all?
"Next fight. Noel vs Jolt," Robin backed a few feet. Jolt walked up to the circle and drew his black blade. Wonder where he got that one. Kirito's swords were a reforged version of my oathkeeper and oblivion. Where did Jolt get his sword? Jolt's opponent was sage with brilliant emerald green with gold lining, and some kind of dragon mask. I don't think I've seen a kind like that, but I got a feel that's suppose to be dragon. Thought I don't know many dragons with feathered whiskers. Thought the green a nice touch. Her hair like Shanzira, I'm guessing that's her kid.
"Do you think you can beat the Knight's valour," Jolt swung his sword. Did he name his sword after my keyblade?
"No, I think, ARCWIND," Noel went a blast of wind straight at Jolt, only for him to cut it out of the air.
"Promise me this is going to be fun," Jolt smirked at her. It scares me how quick he can go from serious, to playful. Wait is he still dating Noire right? Cause with all the changes I don't know what's going on anymore.
"Of course. A battle with you is always a ARCWIND," Noel blasted him again with the wind magic, only this time he dodged it. The wind attack kept flying towards the Other Jolt, who just tanked it.
"Can you come up with a new trick?" Jolt appeared behind her and slashed her.
"ARCWIND," Noel placed her hand on Jolt's back and fired a wind spell at point blank. Jolt slammed into the ground.
"Nice one, I'll admit you got me with that one," Jolt chuckled as he stood back up.
"Knew it would," Noel laughed and took a few steps back.
"Well it won't work twice," Jolt charged right at her again, swung a horizontal strike, only for Noel to sidestep it, and aim a arcwind. Jolt smirked and spun his blade, and the two attacks collided. Then the dust was gone, both fighters were out cold.
"Last fight, Noah vs Saber," Robin said out loud.
"You might want these," Isaac passed me two swords of lighting. Right I don't have my own blades right now.
"Let's see how you can do newbie," Noah held a killing edge. Where's his Donny?
"I'll do my best," I charged forward. Gotta try not to go for his left side. I swung for a upper slant, and Noah blocked it with ease. Well we are at equal levels. I swung again, only for Noah to block easily again. I slid back a few inches.
"Is that all?" Noah looked at me.
"No, I'm far from giving up," I charged again, only for Noah disappear into smoke. Damn, and I can't sense him again. Then I felt someone slam their sword into my back. I rolled back into a fighting stance, but before I could move a kunai slashed my head. I didn't even see him toss it.
"Its over," Noah slashed me once again and I couldn't even see him move. I crumbled to the ground. When did he get this strong? That was nowhere to being equal.
"That's all for today," Robin walked away. I walked away from the shepherd camp, and let my thought run. Everything's different, but why? What happened? I fall from a cliff, and everything's different. What happened?
"Credit for your thought," Percival spoke to me. I had been sitting under a tree,must have been for a while.
"Percival, why's everything different? Everything I knew, the story I've lived through the past three years. None of this happened? What the blyat happened?," I looked at him. Percival was alway my smart hero. He could even give the answer to questions that stumped people. Hell he figured out what Jolt's curse was, despite knowing the guy for a couple of months. Percival the tactician for Naga's sake. How can anyone have died? The story was in casual mode. Unless Jean and Arthas were going after Shepherds for the hell out it. Plus when did that happen. Sumia wasn't dead before chapter 11. Please give me a answer Percival.
"You swear you don't know what's going on?" Percival looked at me.
"None of this ever happened," I pointed out. It never did.
"So you don't remember Shanzira's wedding?" Percival questioned me.
"Can't remember something I wasn't there," I shook my head.
"Do you remember your knighting and the title Shanzira gave you?" Percival questioned me again.
"No, but I remember the title Sumia gave me. The valourful," I looked at him. Why are you asking me these questions.
"Do you remember the snowball fight in Ferox? The one with the avalanche," Percival asked me. Enough with the questions, give me a answer please. Help me understand.
"We had a lot of snowball fights in Ferox, but none of them lead to an avalanche," I looked at him in shock. How did that even happen? I would kinda like to know that story.
"Ron, I think the answer is quite simple," Percival said almost way too bluntly. "The reason everything so different for you is because you ended up in a different timeline,". What the Blyat?
Author's notice: So another cliff-hanger for you. At least you finally got some answers. Also for anyone who gave a OC, and was wondering why some people got kids from the future, because you actually had to give me one. I can't write a character you don't give me. You had the option the entire time, and if you didn't give one that was on you. Reason why lambentlodestar had her, is because she mentioned it. Just saying that now, so no one complains, because I'm not hearing it.
