(The chapter opens to show a cutscene. Many fighters from the previous war are standing together, though shadows cover their eyes. Among them are Leo, Nyx, Corrin, Silas, Niles, Peri, Elise, Odin, Mozu, Jakob, and Flora. They are battling fiercely with invisible soldiers, and they stand to defend a small crowd of children. These children are known as Forrest, Kana, Nina, Ophelia, Sophie, Dwyer, Timpani, and Jasper. Fear is shown on all of their faces, and weapons are in their hands. It is unknown which figure speaks next, but it is undoubtedly one of the elder fighters)
?: Go!
(The children hesitate before following the direction, leaving the area behind. The children start to make their way through the roads outside of Nohr's capital. The cutscene ends as all of the children stand hunched over themselves, breathing heavily)
Forrest: Are... Are we far enough away now...?
Kana: I-I hope so... I don't think I can run anymore...
Nina: We have to keep going... I don't want them to catch up to us.
Ophelia: Should they appear before us, Opehlia Dusk will defeat them!
Sophie: I feel sick...
Dwyer: Does anybody need me to tend to their wounds?
Timpani: I'm happy to help as well.
Jasper: I want to punch them in the face already!
Dwyer: I don't think they even have faces...
Forrest: They did appear to be somewhat invisible.
Kana: I could barely see them...
Ophelia: Mayhaps they were apparitions of some kind?
Nina: I have a bad feeling about all this...
Timpani: There you go, Sophie... Maybe you won't feel like throwing up now...
Sophie: Thanks, Timpani...
Jasper: What are we supposed to do now?
Forrest: Should we get out of here?
Nina: It's not like we can stay here... They could try to chase us.
Jasper: We should hold our ground and fight them off!
Ophelia: I would be happy to fend them off!
Sophie: That wouldn't be a good idea... If we couldn't handle them with our parents, what chance do we stand alone?
Kana: I hope we don't have to try...
Dwyer: I wouldn't hold my breath...
Timpani: I hear rustling around us...
Sophie: W-We're surrounded!
Jasper: I hope you guys are ready to take them on...
Dwyer: I was hoping we didn't have to do this...
Ophelia: Our only option is to vanquish them.
Nina: Which we'll do no problem.
Forrest: Be careful, everyone... I don't want to lose anyone.
Timpani: It's time to take care of business.
Kana: Let's do this...!
(The battle begins. The setting is a road of Nohr outside the capital. The enemies are all invisible soldiers of Valla. The objective is to have all units break through the exit area at the top of the map)
(After the battle, the eight children all stand together once again)
Sophie: We somehow got out of this alive...
Timpani: That sure was a miracle.
Forrest: Wait... Look off there in the distance!
Jasper: It looks like a building.
Nina: If it is, maybe it's somewhere we can stay for a while.
Ophelia: We could set up base within those sacred walls.
Kana: Maybe we could stay there and wait for help...
Dwyer: Help? Can we even count on help?
Sophie: Sure we can! Our parents will catch up with us soon.
Nina: Plus, we don't have to worry about being ambushed there.
Forrest: Fighting within a building and trying to defend it would make the battle easier if we were attacked again...
Dwyer: I see no reason not to go for it then.
Kana: Off we go!
Ophelia: I pray salvation will come for us soon?
Jasper: Translation?
Timpani: Help. She's hoping we get help.
Sophie: Forrest has a point about us getting into that building. We have to make sure that we stay safe until our parents catch up with us.
Dwyer: Part of me isn't sure that they will be able to catch up with us...
Kana: What do you mean?
Jasper: He thinks that something bad might have happened to them... If that's the case, then... We might have to bid them farewell.
Ophelia: I refuse to believe such hogwash!
Nina: Our parents are stronger than they let on. They won the war against Hoshido, after all. That shows off something, right?
Timpani: We won't know until we get confirmation from some outside party.
Forrest: We can talk about this later. We have other places to be right now.
Sophie: You're right. We don't want the enemy to get the building first.
Dwyer: That building is the least we can ask for at this point.
Jasper: Then why bother standing around here now?
Nina: We don't need to. Come on.
Ophelia: The quest continues for us, the fated children.
Forrest: That sure is an odd title... But I expected nothing less of you, Ophelia.
Timpani: Never change, Sister.
Kana: Let's go and see what awaits us!
I don't know how I got this chapter done while on voice call I swear
