"What's heppening here?" Chrono asked.
"It seems that there is some party going on." Hector said stating the obvious.
"It's for Zephiel's Coming to Age Cermony in ten days." Lyn said.
"That the same moment, they don't know about the threat Negral is placing. Poor people." Emerald muttered.
"How do we find out where the location of the Shrine of Seals is?" Eliwood asked.
Lousie and Pent walked up to Chrono, Emerald, and the three lords.
"We can help provide the general location." Louise said.
"How?" Hector asked.
"Duty demand that I attend the Post-Cermony festivities. I'll meet with the Queen priviately before the cermony. After all, we are sisters." Louise said.
"But what happens if you are caught?" Eliwood asked.
"It won't be so bad. Abandoning my position and running away with Lousie." Pent said.
"Good luck and come back safe." Emerald said.
The Nobal pair walked toward the village, leaving the group behind.
"What do we do now?" Lyn asked.
"First of all, we have to blend in. The royal travel clothing you have sticks out like a sore thumb." Chrono said.
"Why? I like my clothing." Hector exclaimed.
"As long as we are wearing those clothing, we might as well throw down our weapons and ask them to lop our heads off." Chrono replied.
The lords were quiet at this.
"Either ways, just think of this as a lord's mission as a thief." Emerald pointed out.
That cheered Hector up somewhat.
"What are we waiting for then. Let's go Eliwood." Hector said as he grabbed his best friend's arm and dragged him toward the city.
Emerald and Lyn followed Hector and Eliwood as the dragon sibiling walked up to Chrono.
"Chrono, is it ok if we can follow you?" Nils asked.
"Why not. What about you Ninian?" Chrono asked.
"I want to ask you a question." Ninian said.
"Ok. What's it about?" Chrono asked.
Ninain blushed slightly.
"It's about Lord Eliwood." Ninian replied.
Chrono got the gist of Ninian's question as he turned back to the group.
"Everyone, we'll stay here for the day. Spend the day as you like, but don't blow our cover." Chrono said.
Everyone complied as they walked toward the village, leaving Nils, Chrono, and Ninian behind.
"So what's this question about?" Chrono asked.
"I...wanted to ask...every time I try to talk with Lord Eliwood, he... blushes. He then suddenly says that he has something to do and leaves very quickly." Ninian replied.
"Hmm. That's very interesting. I'll keep that in mind. Head to the village and meet up with Emerald. Nils, I need to talk with you." Chrono said.
Ninian nodded as she walked into the village while Nils stood beside Chrono.
"How would you like it to help me with this...project?" Chrono asked.
"You mean Lord Eliwood and Ninian?" Nils asked.
"Yes. Now, your job is to..." Chrono muttered quietly as he laid the plan out to Nils. Nil nodded as he understood the plan.
"You got it?" Chrono asked.
"Yeah. But do I have to?" Nils asked.
"Yes. Now, get the sutff ready. If anyone ask, say that you are looking for me." Chrono said.
Nils nodded as he left Chrono and entered the village. Chrono also entered the village and went off to prepare for his plan. The day slowly went by and soon enough, Louise and Pent returned from their trip to the castle. Chrono saw the pair heading to the inn and walked up to them.
"Pent, Louise. What's happening now?" Chrono asked.
"We have a problem on our hands." Louise said.
"The queen wants us to retrieve the Fire Emblem." Pent said.
"Hang on to that information until I can get the lords here." Chrono muttered as he opened a channel to them.
"Eliwood, Lyn, Hector. Louise and Pent are back. Meet up near the inn." chrono said.
"Ok. I'll see you there." Eliwood's voice said.
"Gotcha." Hector's voice replied.
"Ok. I'll be there soon." Lyn's voice panted.
Chrono closed the link and turned to see Louise and Pent curious.
"How did you just talk with Lord Eliwood, Hector, and Lady Lyn?" Pent asked.
"The stones they have is all my energy." Chrono said as he scoped up two stones on the ground. He poured his energy into the stone and soon enough, the stones were handed over to Louise and Pent.
"This way, I'll be able to keep in contact with you if I need to." Chrono said as the three Lords came to them with Emerald following.
"What's wrong?" Emerald asked.
"Louise, can you tell them?" Chrono asked.
"Yes. My sister, the queen of Bern has informed me that there is a power struggle here in Bern. herself against the King. She also said that the Fire Emblem has been stolen. She said that if we find the Fire Emblem, she will give us one thing in return." Louise said.
"That's our opening. We can use that to find the location of the Shrine of Seals." Lyn said.
"Let's go there now." Hector said.
"What is the Fire Emblem anyways?" Eliwood asked.
That gave everyone a long silence.
"We'll figure that out after we start searching. We'll start the search tommorrow." Chrono said.
"Let's start out at the crime scene then." Emerald said.
"Ok then. That's our first stop tomorrow." Lyn said.
Everyone nodded as they started to leave.
"Emerald, can I see you for a moment?" Chrono asked.
"What's up?" Emerald asked as the Lords left.
"Can you get Ninian to meet at the inn? But don't mention my name." Chrono replied.
"O...k I guess I can do that." Emerald said as she went off her way.
Just a few houses down, one of the infamous Fang Four stood there leaning against the tree while watching the group's every move.
"So that's the group the Black Fang has to hunt. Lord Eliwood. You and your group is as good as dead and it'll be by my hands." The man whispered as he turned and left the scene to report what he has found out.
Chrono thought he heard a voice and turned to see a man walking away into a crowd.
'Did that man say something? Oh well.' Chrono thought as he made his way to set his plan up.
Later at night, Chrono and Nils were at the pub under a different look. Matthew and Precilla helped out in this self proclaimed mission and now, Chrono looked more like a lord in his own right while Nils looked like a Knight with the blindfold on.
"Chrono, are you sure we should do this?" Nils asked.
"Why not? If nothing else, we might give them a nudge in the right direction." Chrono replied.
"And why do I have to wear the blindfold?" Nils asked.
"Your eyes are a dead giveaway. Here they come." Chrono said as his sky eyes lit up.
True to his words, Chrono saw Eliwood and Ninian coming into the pub. They were in a light chat as they got to their seat. Soon enough, Chrono made his move. He stood up and put his hood as he grabbed Nils. The pair walked outside and sat down near some trees.
"Ok Nils, I'm going to open a channel to them. Once I give you the go ahead, start playing some songs." Chrono instructed.
Nils nodded as he took of the armor that hid his usual clothing and pulled out his flute. Chrono opened a channel link to Eliwood and Ninian and manage to over hear them talking about a bit of their life. Chrono guessed that Ninian was makeing some of her past up by how she was speaking. Chrono then opened another channel to Nils and gave him the thumbs up sign. Nils nodded and started to play a random song. From his sky eyes as the dinner progressed, Chrono saw that the dinner was going better then he had planned. The train of thought ended as they finished up eating their meal. He had made sure that the pub owner was paided before Eliwood and Ninian came in. Chrono then looked at Nils and gave him a slight pat on the back that told Nils that he did a good job and it was enough. They left the area just a few minutes before Eliwood and Ninians left the pub.
The next day met everyone infront of the city. Chrono yawned a bit while he was waiting for Lyn, Eliwood and Ninian. Soon enough, Chrono saw the trio coming to the front gates.
"What took ya?" Chrono asked as he saw Ninian and Eliwood arm in arm.
"I had to buy a bow. I started to take lessons from Emerald, Wil, Louise, and Rebecca on archery. This is also for you." Lyn replied as she handed Chrono a book and quill with ink.
"Thanks Lyn." Chrono replied as ideas came to his head about how to use the books.
"Where's out next location?" Pent asked.
"The scene of the crime. The Bern Emblem fortress." Chrono said.
Everyone nodded as they set out to head toward the fortress.
