Later on
"*moan,*" Lissa groaned, "I'm so tired, and hungry, and did I mention tired?" "You did," Chrom told her, "and I think you have a point, it's time we set up camp." "Out here," Lissa said, "with all these bugs and animals." "Come on sis," Chrom told her, "hardship helps build character." "Bleh," Lissa spat something out of her mouth, "I think I swallowed a bug." "We don't have to worry about you being a fuss pot, buttercup?" Inigo asked Robin. "I'll be fine," she replied with a smile, "and why 'buttercup?' " "I don't know," Inigo told her, "just felt right."
One hour later
The five were sitting around a campfire eating...
"Bear meat?!" Lissa whined, "couldn't you have got us some normal food for once." "Come on Lissa, "Chrom told her, already finished, "you were the one complaining about being hungry. And besides, meat is meat." "Really," Lissa said annoyed, "I don't remember meat smelling like old boots... wait, I take it back! The boots smell better! Right Robin?" Instead of the other female backing her up, Lissa saw that Robin was enjoying the food she found disgusting and was eating away. "She's god you there Lissa" Inigo said smugly. "Oh yeah," Lissa said, really mad now, "well if everyone besides me likes it, why hasn't Fredderick had any!?" "I'm not hungry your grace," he told her, "I had a big lunch." "Liar!" Lissa exclaimed, "we all missed lunch!" "Is she always like this?" Robin asked, finally finished with her meat. "Not quite as bad," Inigo told her, "but still has pretty big mood swings." "I DO NOT!" Lissa shouted at the top of her lungs, causing Inigo to run for his life when Lissa started chasing him, leaving to Fredderick rolling his eyes, Chrom laughing at the top of his lungs and Robin... just felt confused.
Around Midnight
Lissa woke up to the sound of her older brother standing up.
"Chrom?" she asked him ,"what's going on?" "*yawn* You're not the only one who wants to know." Inigo said sleepily. "I'm not sure," He told his younger siblings, "but I'm going to find out. Wait here." "No way," Lissa told Chrom, "I'm coming with you." "Same" Inigo said. Not bothering to object, Chrom started running towards the sound that woke him up, his brother and sister in tow.
After a minute of running, the ground started to shake. "whoa!" the three royals stammered as they tried to regain their balance. Chrom was the first to recover and saw that the ground was starting to lift up. "Guys, run." "huh?" the other two said, not understanding this. "I mean it. Go!" Chrom said hurrying the two along. They ran as the ground behind them started to lift up, lava coming out of the gaps. Once it seemed like they were in the clear, Chrom looked up to check on his sibling only to see that one was missing. "Lissa, where's Inigo?" Chrom said in panic. "I don't- Chrom what is that." Lissa changed her sentence once what seemed like a blue glowing orb surrounded by light appeared in the sky. Things fell out of it, and those things were zombie like-creatures. "Lissa, you'd better stand back." Chrom told Lissa as he went to strike one of the zombies. His sword went right through the monsters hip, but what shocked Chrom is that that it didn't kill it. the zombie went to hit Chrom with his axe, which he narrowly avoided before planting his sword in the monsters back, making it disapear in a puff of purple smoke. "Agh!" Lissa cried from the distance, causing Chrom to see that one of the monsters were dangerously close to her. "Lissa!" Chrom said while starting to run over, while a newcomer {who Chrom assumed appeared from the same thing as the monsters} was also running over. The monster was about to strike a petrified Lissa before the newcomer blocked the axe with his sword. "Help" he called to Chrom, who was stunned. "Right" Chrom said, regaining his senses before helping the masked newcomer kill the monster. Once the monster was delt with. Chrom looked at the man. "Who are you?" he asked him. Before he could answer, a roar from the distance sent the group running to get rid of the rest of the monsters.
Elsewhere
"Guys!" inigo called out, "Chrom! Lissa! Anybody!" While running away from the lava, Inigo had gotten seperated from his siblings and was now trying to find them. Once he arrived in a clearing he stopped to catch his breath. "Where are they?" the prince said to himself. Before he could continue searching however, he felt as if he was being watched. "Who's there?" Inigo said, getting his sword ready. Please just be a wild animal Inigo thought to himself. His question was answered as two of the zombie monsters came out of the shadows into view. Inigo, despite not knowing why, was terrified when he saw these monsters, not because he was scared of them, but because he felt like he'd seen them before. Out of nowhere, Inigo was hit with some images of what he thought looked like an older version of Lissa defending a blue haired baby, a black haired toddler and a blue haired girl from these things, ending with her screams of terror as the monsters killed her. Inigo was snapped back to reality by one of the monsters disarming him and pinning him to the ground. Inigo couldn't move because of the monster and was 'graced' with it breathing it's smelly purple breath all over him. Just when he thought the second monster was going to kill him, he was saved by someone spearing the monster that was about to axe him as well as getting the other one off him, followed by another spearing. "T thank you." Inigo breathlessly told his savour, who turned out to be a brown-ish haired female knight with a stern face. "Don't mention it," the knight replied, helping him up, "I've seen those things kill enough people, didn't want them to add one more to the pile. Name's Kjelle, you?" "Inigo," he told her. "Inigo," Kjelle muttered, "dose that mean." "Eh hem," Inigo interupted her, "sorry to interupt, but what were those things?" "I'll explain later," Kjelle told him, "but for now we'd better help those Sheperds round the rest of these things up. Come on!" Not waiting for him to reply, Kjelle ran off, with a confused Inigo right behind.
The middle of the forest
"Aw man," Kjelle said as she finally stopped running, "we missed all of the action." "You were hoping to fight more of those things?" Inigo said, out of breath, "and how can you run that fast in all that armour?" "Pratice" Kjelle answered simply. "Inigo!" Lissa said running over to him before giving him a hug, "where were you, we were so worried." "Don't worry sis, " he told her, "I'm fine, mainly thanks to miss Kjelle here. She saved my butt along with everything else." "Well in that case," Chrom said, "thank you for you're help Kjelle. " "Don't mention it your highness," she told him, "now care to introduce me to your team?" Chrom obliged and introduced Kjelle to the five as well as another Sheperd, Sully, as well as a newcomer archer, Virion, who had joined in with them earlier. "Well," Sully said, giving a big yawn, "I'm wrecked, so let's get out of these crazy woods and get some sleep." When no one objected, the sheperds walked out before finding a new campsite a good bit away from the rest of the forest, before heading down to sleep, with Inigo wondering what in the world he had seen earlier, as well as thinking some slightly unfamilier lips kiss his forehead before finally going to sleep.
