Welcome back to Ignitus' Wisdom! Today, we ring in 2020's first update with my absolute favorite Echo Fighter. The leader of the Shepherds from Fire Emblem Awakening. I'm talking Chrom! Let's not waste a minute, because I'm frankly too excited to wait any longer!
Spyro: Is that who I think it is?!
Ignitus: Indeed it is, Spyro. Chrom, Prince of the Halidom of Ylisse.
Spyro: What even is a halidom?
Ignitus: Its really a sanctuary. Otherwise its an archaic term for a theocracy, or government run by religious authority.
Spyro: Huh. You learn something new every day. But that does explain how his sister Emmeryn, a priestess, rules the place.
Ignitus: Indeed it does. Though they are both descendants of Marth, the Hero King.
Spyro: No wonder he leads the Shepherds so well!
Chrom: Coming from you, Spyro, that's an honor.
Ignitus: What the...?!
Spyro: How'd you get here?!
Chrom: Borrowed one of Robin's tomes. Don't tell him.
Spyro: Your secret's safe with me, Prince Chrom.
Ignitus: Got bothered of bothering Palutena?
Chrom: Not trying that trick again. She knows I'm competing.
Spyro: I don't blame you.
Chrom: The minute I heard you and Cynder entered this tournament, I just had to speak with both of you. Amd the message is simple: Welcome to the Shepherds, you've earned it.
Spyro: Cynder and I, Shepherds?
Chrom: I couldn't think of any better candidates. And as a fellow Shepherd, I wish you luck, both of you.
Spyro: The same to you and Robin, Prince Chrom.
Ignitus: Now that that's happened, a little pointer. Chrom's Falchion isn't as strong at Marth's Exalted Falchion, but I'd still avoid getting hit by it.
Spyro: Duly noted. Time to show Prince Chrom what I can do!
