A/N: Quick review responses:
1) Yes, Pelleas is Canada, congrats for getting that reference XD

2) Sephiran is a man! Google him if you don't remember him, but I was genuinely surprised to not see breasts on him. And I picked up Soren as male right away, because if nothing else I'm used to anime.

3) Yes, the Greil Mercenaries do attack you in 3-13 – apparently in all the modes, but definitely in Hard. The good news is that they only move out on turn 11 so if you back up they can't ever hit you. The bad news is that if you for some reason can't back up, Boyd can take out about half of the Dawn Brigade without issue (Rolf and Mist get there too, buuuuut if you just use Shinon and ignore Mist like I do…) The good news is that, as alluded to, for some reason Soren doesn't move out, because in my games Soren could also take out most of the Dawn Brigade and he's closer. The bad news is that Ike does move out and, if you don't stop him with a sleep staff, he WILL kill whoever's on that front ledge. The good news is that his resistance is crap :D

4) You guys keep liking this, I'll keep writing it :3

Interlude: Random Mook versus Wyvern Riding Badass

Stan loved his country. He especially loved Duke Ludveck. Ludveck was going to take Crimea on the right path! That Queen Elincia was too soft-hearted to be a queen. Stan knew that because Ludveck told him so. He loved Crimea and would feel guilty about trying to supplant the Queen, except that Ludveck had assured him that they were going to supplant the Queen nicely, and who could he trust if not Ludveck?

And so here Stan was, gallantly marching with like-minded comrades to invade and conquer the Queen's backup keep. He was on the forefront and so he was the one who knocked down the massive wooden defensive door (Stan, being something of an uneducated young man, did not know what this structure was called) that prevented the forces of righteousness from invading.

Sitting on the other side of the door was a man – no, a demon – dressed in black armor and on the back of a massive wyvern that was probably not even a wyvern, but really a dragon, or a demon dragon. Stan believed too much in his cause to back down, but he really wanted to urinate on himself in terror. Instead he gripped his spear tightly and prepared to attack.

Haar took out Stan in one shot. He gained about three experience points.
