New author's update: from a suggestion from a friend, I decided that it would be a good idea to write full length chapters (~5000-8000 words) and split them up into smaller chapters ~2000-3000 words each. So for my readers that enjoy long sessions, you get 2-5 chapters to read and for my readers that read slower or enjoy shorter chapters they exist now. If you read my other stories, you'll notice that for the new LOZ book coming soon that it will be down like that as well. I haven't decided when I will transition that way for Yu-Gi-Oh! But it will be done also… and when I do the rewrites for them as well I probably will start it up with that and have parts so the chapter names stay the same. Anyway, this author's note will be on all the chapters up to and including chapter 11. (yes, this four chapter thing turned into 11 chapters.) I also did some serious rereading and corrected any mistakes such as cane instead of came and what not. I hope you guys enjoy. :)

Any author's notes at the end of the first four chapters will appear in chapters 1, 2, 3, and 4 if they exist respectively. There won't be any other ending author notes for chapters 5-11. Thanks.

Chapter 2

I woke up easily hours later leaning on something that had a rhythm and someone poking me in the arm. "Wah… oh… the sun is setting."

"Have a good nap?" He asked as he got off the horse.

"How did I get from there… to there?" I asked as I pointed from the horse's neck to Chrom's chest.

"Well, after drooling on the horse and almost falling over, I leaned you against me instead so I could make sure you wouldn't fall off. Lissa did all the healing she could while you were sleeping."

I felt my face go hot as I wiped my mouth before I thought about the healing magic thing she did and realized I could actually see clearly on top of it; the headache and the sensation to throw up was also gone. "I do feel better now that I think about it."

"That's great."

I hopped down from the horse. "So, this is … the castle?"

"Yeah, it's also the place I call home."

"You live here?"

"Along with Lissa and my older sister Emmeryn."

"Must be nice to live in such a place."

"Sometimes, but we have to leave in the morning."

I tuned in on his tone. "I'm guessing something happened."

"Emmeryn's life was a risk last night as there was an invasion. The Exalt is being moved to the Eastern Castle."

"So Emmeryn is the Exalt making you and Lissa the prince and princess of this castle."

"You're pretty intelligent. With that said, you need some clothes if you are coming with us."

"Hold the phone, I'm going with you to the Eastern Castle?"

"Um… I don't know what phone means, but yes. It's not safe here, if there's another attack and the Mad King of the country next door knows you, then he will probably finish you off."

"And if he doesn't know me?"

"He'll probably kill you anyway, he's not a fan of this country or its people."

"Sounds like the perfect guy…" I answered sarcastically. "So… where to now, Mr. Prince."

"Chrom works just fine if you don't mind." Chrom corrected me. "Lissa's room I guess, I don't know anything about female clothing- uh, you might have to go shopping; you are pretty tiny."

"I'm pretty sure that requires money…"

"If you can manage to stay alive long enough to pay me back, that would be rewarding enough."

I noticed a shift in his demeanor. He was uncomfortable about something. "You don't like people dying."

"Of course not, but even in war, people die. I just want to save as many as I can. Whether or not they are my people."

"I don't remember if I knew other people before meeting you and Robin, but I'm pretty sure there aren't too many people who would say the same." I told him. "I think I'll follow that example, if you don't mind."

"Not at all." He replied with a smile.

There was a small silence before Chrom cleared his throat. "Well, let's go get this done quickly. Little light left and I'll greet you to the other shepherds when you get back. There is also long day tomorrow and with my luck, I doubt it's going to go well."

"Have faith, you got me here, if push comes to shove you got amnesia girl to play twenty questions with the enemies."

"I don't think that will work."

"It might if I ask them if something will hurt before I hurt them." Chrom looked down at me and laughed hysterically. I tilted my head to the side in confusion and then I realized why he was laughing, he was easily a head and a bit taller than me, the enemies would easily be just as tall. I pouted, "I'm being serious."

"I know it's just- ah, ha, ha, between your size, your high pitch voice and your looks, they might die from laughter."

"Well then its' going to be a surprise for everyone what I can do."

"What do you have in mind?"

"No idea, that's why I said it will be a surprise for everyone."

Chrom just shook his head still laughing slightly and motioned me to follow him. I sighed and followed him catching a mark on his arm. I took note of it and decided to ask him later about it. The feeling of something terrible happening came back to me when I thought about heading to the Eastern Castle. I let it go as an excuse to find something bad as we entered the castle. We walked into the throne room and found Lissa, Robin, Fredrick and a tallish, blond lady with a mark that was not unlike the mark on Chrom's arm. It must have been a birthmark of some sort.

"Finally up?" Robin commented and I just nodded. I must have been out for a while after we got to the castle. "That's good, I hope you're feeling better."

"I am," I answered him and turned to Lissa. "Thank you for your healing magic, whatever the side effects of whatever that man did to me are gone."

A smiled formed brightly on her face, "Anytime."

"Meeting before we leave tomorrow." Chrom asked them as we stepped in front of them.

"No," the woman replied softly with a kind smile on her face. I felt instant warmth and a motherly sense from her. I also felt slight sadness come from her, she didn't want this war. "Just a discussion about your trip to get supplies and rescue mission."

"Emm, this would be our rescue mission Mychaila." Chrom introduced.

I bowed slightly guessing she was Emmeryn, "Nice to meet you, your Highness."

"Likewise, your speech shows that you are highly educated, your family must be worried."

"I wouldn't know," I answered her, something about her was basically peace incarnate and I wanted to choose my words carefully.

"She has amnesia, most likely by the man who attacked her, they placed some sort of spell that disallows her to even try and recall any of her memories." Robin explained. At this rate they should just put up signs for everyone to know I had amnesia.

"I'm sorry to hear that you can't remember anything about yourself." Emmeryn sympathized. "You look rather young for your age though, I'm surprised."

"Well, I don't know that either." I told her.

"You're eyes give you away, full of knowledge beyond this country, but still learning. I'd place you between eighteen and twenty."

I thought about it lightly before the headache could attempt to start back up. I could feel it hiding just waiting for me to try again. "I'll go for the middle number: nineteen. Maybe when the day comes birthday music will just play randomly in my head." A small smile formed on her face, I must be adorable to everyone around me; even the tall armored guy was smirking slightly at my childish nature. At least I found something I was good at: morale for the win. "I don't know anything else except that all I really want to do is help out the best I can. I might be at a disadvantage as I learn things about myself every moment, but I know a lot about other things. Chrom and Robin helped me when they obviously had other things to deal with. I hope I'm not running my mouth in saying I can be a useful ally in this war."

"We'll gladly accept it." Emmeryn told me with a nod. "Lissa, would you mind taking Mychaila to find some clothing other than sleepwear."

"Over a discussion you are about to start, you don't even need to ask." Lissa stated. "Come on Mychaila, we're going shopping."

"Right now?" I asked as she hooked her arm in mine.

"Yes, the stores are closing soon and we are leaving at dawn before the shops open."

I made an 'o' sound. I felt kind of stupid for asking and allowed her to drag me away.

"Good luck," Chrom called out.

"You too," I called back, I could only imagine how awful their non-meeting, discussion thing could be. Well maybe not awful, just boring, like a lecture. My feet tapped against the cold tiles and one of the first thing I really wanted was a pair of socks and shoes.

One of the first places we came across had everything. I thought I remembered a store like it, but all that came to my head was Wal- and then my headache started to come out of the dark corners of my mind so I backed off. It seemed like a stupid name anyway. I was going to have to be careful about thinking about even the things I was positive about, like types of shoes. There were so many shoes, but my interests turned away from the shoes to the boots. It had to be something I preferred.

"We'll get you two outfits, the second one will be for when your first one needs to be cleaned."

"Including foot wear? I'm pretty sure it's really bad if you have wet stuff on your feet."

"Huh, you do know things. Yes a second pair is included. Do you like wearing things in your hair?"

"Maybe?"

"Right, sorry, this is like telling a blind person to look at something."

I smirked, for some reason it was really funny. "It's alright."

"So! Clothes first, then shoes?" She asked and I nodded.

After some looking around I found a cute skort that resembled that of a kilt with green, white and blue plaid that came to my mid-thigh, a pretty, low cut, purple, no- candy violet, tank top. Why so specific? And a t-shirt like trench coat that had a very high collar and big hood. It was love at first sight, but Lissa had told me to try it on before buying it. It fit better than a glove. Speaking of that metaphor, I also got a pair that were cut off above the knuckles and covered most of my thumb. The other end stopped just above my elbow. There were pads on the knuckles and the elbow. The final touch was that the gloves was tightened by a candy violet lace.

"What are the padding for?" I asked the princess of the land. I had an idea, but I wanted to be sure.

"The knuckle padding may be soft on your fingers, but they are hard and pointy on the outside for punching someone. The elbow pad is the same essentially and doubles as landing gear in case you have to roll or something. Had to patch up Chrom once when he shattered his elbow from falling off a horse. Took a whole healing wand to fix it too."

"Clumsy is he?"

"More like he doesn't pay attention to his surroundings. He breaks things by accident all the time."

I laughed a little, I didn't know why, but it came out.

"Ya, I guess it's kind of funny," Lissa giggled too.

After that, we went back to the shoes and the only thing that caught my eye was a pair of really slick, black boots that went to my knees before folding over it could be unfolded to be higher tied together with the lace that was on it. Along with that I grabbed some white socks that went almost to my short at the middle of my thigh.

"Does it look okay?" I asked her as I turned into the mirror. Turned out I looked pretty decent. Large hazel eyes with brown, layered hair cut that went to the middle of my back with a layered bang. I had sharp but also soft features with a cute little nose; I must have been egotistic for calling my nose cute. I let it go. It was all in my head anyway. Lissa was also taller than me and according to the height chart; I was just under five feet, talking about missing the mark. It also explained why everyone else was way taller than me and laughed when I was trying to act tough, I looked like I was twelve. I turned back to Lissa when she didn't answer and realized she was looking at some ribbons.

"What's up?" I asked as I walked over to her.

"You would probably look really good if you tied ribbons in your hair." She answered as she placed the purple ribbon next to my shirt. "Here's two, try them on."

"How?"

"Whatever way you think is right."

I gave her a look that begged for help, but took the two ribbons from her. I went back to the mirror and place them just above my ears at equal heights and amounts of hair. Lissa was right, it did look pretty good. Then, other ideas formed. I took them out and made two half pig tails which dropped my age to ten, but I was satisfied in some strange way. A second idea formed and I did a half ponytail and it look brilliant, almost fancy. The final and third idea was just placing it back in a ponytail with my hair layers spiking out the back and my bangs fluttered against my ears.

"You're so creative having all these ideas with just two ribbons." Lissa exclaimed with a smile.

I smiled back and replaced the ribbons back in the first way I had placed them in.

"Those rings that were under your shirt kind of just make everything work."

"I guess ya. It seems weird to have rings on a chain, but it might be better to leave them the way they are." I agreed. After changing my top, I found rings on a chain that I hadn't notice until that point. It was the only lead I had on who I was.

"We should head back before the last light leaves."

I nodded and we headed out. When we returned to the castle, there was a small feast and as I sat down I found myself looking over the stuff on the table and… found it all repulsing. It was all good food, but… nothing looked tasty.

"Are you not hungry?" Stahl asked.

I looked over at the knight, I had met all the shepherds right before we walked into the dining hall. There were going to be the people I traveled with in the morning with all very different personalities. Stahl, I found looking at his plate, loved food.

"Starving," I answered truthfully, my stomach also answered loudly.

"Picky 'till she dies." Robin commented with a smirk, "Who would have thought such a trait follows even through amnesia."

"Well… I…" I didn't have an excuse. Nothing looked good. I reviewed the table and found something that at least looked tasty. "Can I have the mashed potatoes please?"

"You should have some meat too." Lissa suggested. "Maybe a lighter meat, chicken."

"Um… sure." I replied and accepted the small piece she gave me. I ate some and it turned out to be really good.

"Victory, we found something she likes." Chrom cheered with a raised goblet. I giggled slightly as I munched on the two foods that were on my plate.

Was it fun? Did you like it? Hate it? Feel like burning the tiny self-confidence I have accumulated to put it up? If you do want to do the third option. Please don't, I will cry myself to sleep for the next three days. Well… I won't be dramatic, I just won't be very happy and then feel miserable and go back to doing everything but writing. Be nice to your fellow human being, k?

If you have something to say about it just leave a review, if you liked it favorite and follow the story. If you haven't had enough of my work and don't feel like waiting, I suggest reading some of my other work that can be found on this site as well as my FictionPress. That's right, this fanfictioner can write their own things! I also have a deviant art page if you wanted to check out some of my work. The cover of this book can be found there as well if you wanted a nice big picture of it.

Anyway, I leave you now. Have a great day, night, you're in space so you have I think 16 of those, so have 16 of my great days and nights to match the twenty four hour cycle.
