Reflet

The calm before the storm, I guess it was. Before Sora and I got into the Shepherds everything was fine and dandy. And then it went to hell. The first thing I did was ended up giving names to everyone. Azure, Twintails, Seriousy, Blondiot, Green, Silver, Crimson, Smarts, Ghost, Klutz, and Pot. Those were the names alright. Sora and Raven where the only two people I didn't come up with names for, for obvious reasons.

"You know, you aren't very good at making nicknames." Sora said.

"Well, it's how I remember them, your point? And what did ya need?" I said, taking another swig of my beer.

"Raven told me to get you, said she wanted to talk to you about your alcohol intake."

"For- fine." I said, following Sora over to the strategy tent where Raven was.

"Robin." she said.

"Raven, needed me?" I asked.

"You drink way too much alcohol you know that right?" she asked.

"Hasn't killed me yet though. Do you want to know the main reason why I drink though?" I asked.

Sora looked at my with confusion, and Raven slowly nodded. I pulled up my right forearm, and held it out to Raven.

"Feel my forearm." I said.

Raven looked at me with confusion, put slowly she placed her hand on it. She gave an expression of discomfort, removing her hand and shaking it.

"That's freezing cold!" she said.

"My body is always general cold, to the point where no amount of exercise or food or drink can warm me up. i don't get frostbite though, strangely enough. I use alcohol because for some reason I was able to create a fire in my body, and the alcohol causes my body temperature to increase. Plus, I have the heaviest gut in your army, I can hold my alcohol." I replied.

"Alright then, I'll make notes on that. Just, know that you have to explain that to everyone, please." she said.

"Understood."

Sora

After I left the tent when Reflet left, I started to make my way over Chrom to see how far we were from Ylisstol. His information was "We should be there in an hour's time.", so I was somewhat excited and somewhat confused. I decided to go speak with Sumia, who was kind enough to let me bunk with her and Raven.

"Sumia? Can I speak to you about something?" I asked.

"Sora, what can I help you with?" she asked.

"I've been informed that the Captain's older sister is the Exalt. My question is what does that mean and what is she like?"

"The Exalt is a symbol of peace in the Halidom of Ylisse. He or she is meant to represent the country based on the ideals of the first exalt, who slew the Fell Dragon Grima 1000 years ago. And what is she like? Well, being around her brings a calm and peaceful atmosphere. In fact, she brought Ylisse back from absolute anarchy with love and kindness."

I nodded. A symbol of peace. I remember my father telling me the tale of the First Exalt. I remember being told that he got to meet him so long ago, and that he saved him at one point, although the story books didn't say how.

"Say Sora, can you tell me about the Kitsune?" Sumia asked me, getting me out of my trance.

"Oh, I gladly will. The Kistune are a race of fox-shifters hailing from Chon'sin. They are divided into the zenko and the yako, the former being benevolent and the latter being mischevious, and they also have a sort of hierarchy. The number of tails on the Kistune form tells someone how old and how wise. 1 means new-born, and the highest, which is 9, means that they are nearing the end of their life and will be able to ascend to the heavens. Also with our tails, we have elements with us." I said.

"Elements?"

"Yes. They are known as Chi or Tsuchi, Sui or Mizu, Ka or Hi, Fu or Kaze, and Ku or Sora. They are respectively known in the common language as Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Void or Aether."

"So, your name means Void or Aether?"

"Or sky or Heaven."

"Interesting. What's the significance of the elements?"

"Chi- Earth- represents the hard, solid objects of the earth, such as a stone. Emotionally, Chi represents Stubbornness, Collectiveness, Stability, Physicality, and Gravity. Siu- Water- represents the fluid, flowing, formless things in the world. Emotionally, Sui represents Emotion, Defensiveness, Adaptability, Flexibility, Suppleness, and Magnetism. Ka- Fire- represents the energetic, forceful, moving things of the world. Emotionally it represents Drive and Passion and can be associated with Security, Motivation, Desire, Intention, and an Outgoing Spirit. Fu- Wind- represents the things that grow, expand, and enjoy the freedom of movement. Emotionally Fu represents an Open-minded attitude and carefree feeling. And it can be associated with Will, Elusiveness, Evasiveness, Benevolence, Compassion, and Wisdom. And finally, Ku- Void- represents the things beyond our everyday experience, and the things that are of pure energy. Spirit, Thought, Power, Creativity, Spontaneity, and Intensiveness."

"Hm. That's really interesting."

Suddenly, we arrived to the sights of buildings, stands, and roads made of stone.

"Is this Ylisstol?" I asked.

"Yes, it's quite the sight, isn't it?" Raven asked, coming up to my side.

"I've never seen something so beautiful."

"Well, that's good. Chrom, Lissa, Fredrick and I will lead you and Reflet and the Exalt.

I nodded, and took a deep breath.

Information on Stahl

Name: Stahl

Sometimes Called Green by Reflet

Class: Cavalier

Promotion Class: Paladin, Great Knight

Roster Information: A surprisingly normal Shepherd with a big heart and perpetual cowlick. He has a good head on his shoulders, but the rest of him often has trouble keeping up. The most eager to clean a plate. Born on June 16th.

Where I got the information on the Kitsune and the five elements: both of them were the Wikipedia pages labeled Kitsune and Five elements(Japanese Philosophy). Also I'm not sure if I was correct that the Kitsune were associated with the elements, I guess I can do that to warp the information, which just in case you believe it isn't true.

Sorry that this is long overdue, I couldn't sit down because I'm so freaking jumpy and hyper and I don't know why.
