Parting Ways
Back with Shinon and Gatrie, they were in the region of the Begnion Empire, one of the biggest regions of the continent of Tellius. By the time they reached Flaguerre, a fortress town on the border of Begnion and Gallia, they decided it was time for them to have a talk.
"You know what, Gatrie, I've had enough." Shinon said in a grumpy way.
"But Shinon," Gatrie said, "we're friends! What are we gonna do?"
"We're parting ways. Go find another person to work with for now." Shinon said. "This doesn't mean we won't be best buddies anymore. I'm betraying to the Daein army and working as a spy. After all, this will stop Ike from commanding the Greil Mercenaries."
"Shinon, I… I can't part ways with you!" Gatrie exclaimed. "And you can't kill Ike!"
"Go away, Gatrie! I'm done talking to you!" Shinon said. "Go somewhere else! The next time we meet, our friendship will be better. We start from the beginning when we next meet."
"Shinon, I did—Ugh! God damn it, Shinon!" Gatrie said. Suddenly, two young girls came over to Gatrie on horseback. They were named Rita and Astrid. They both were Bow Knights serving the Begnion army's cavalry.
"Hey, are you alright?" Astrid asked Gatrie.
"No! Shinon separated from me!" Gatrie exclaimed.
"Um… who's Shinon?" Rita asked as she scratched her head.
"He's a friend of mine." Gatrie said. "He and I were members of the Greil Mercenaries, but our commander died, and we left the company."
"Oh, and you're looking for someone new to join? We're your ladies." Astrid said. My name is Astrid, and this is my co-worker, Rita. We work for the Begnion Army's cavalry of Bow Knights."
"Who are you, fine looking gentleman?" Rita asked.
"My name is Gatrie." Gatrie replied as he introduced himself. "It's nice to meet the two of you girls."
"It's nice to mee you, too." Rita said. "Wanna start getting to work with us?"
"Sure. I would love too." Gatrie said. Gatrie later started to get to work with Astrid and Rita.
