AN: God, I'm terrible at updating things but, I hope you enjoy it nonetheless. I'm going to try and update this more so expect more in the future, and I hope I can keep anyone's interest.

"I still can't believe that I'm in another world. I guess I have no choice but to accept it." Eira said as she stared out the window taking in the scenery that is Ylisstol, she never seen a city look as beautiful as this. She's been to multiple cities and villages but they were all in her kingdom so seeing places like this not covered in snow was a sight to see. Her kingdom was beautiful in its own right with the calmness of the snowfall who everything looked peaceful like nothing has ever happened but this was something different. Since in her kingdom was permanently covered in snow and ice, so seeing everything as it should be was breathtaking. Eira stepped away from the window while she let out a big sigh and sat down on the nearby chair as she thought of the events happening in this land.

"Ylisse, the Shepherds, Plegia, and the attacks? I guess it doesn't matter where you are, be it a different country or world. War is always there." After her talk with the Exalt, she decided to roam around the Ylissean palace asking about anything involving this world or the surrounding area. Eira did get strange looks from the people but once she explained that she wasn't from around here they happily obliged and explained everything she wanted to know. If they are being threatened by their neighbouring country she wanted to help them since they did take her in when she was injured. She wanted to make sure this place didn't fall like her kingdom so she waited for the leader of the Shepherds to return and ask to join his cause. "I hope for the sake of this Halidom that war doesn't break out." There was one more place that she wanted to go see before meeting with the Shepherds leader and that was to check on their garrison. When she arrived at the garrison it was like you would expect from a garrison, crates and barrels of supplies among other things. The only people in Shepherd's garrison was a young boy in a mage's outfit and blonde noblewoman who seemed to notice her presence.

"Who might you be?" The noblewoman asked.

"I'm Eira."

"Ah, the guest I've heard about. The princess from a faraway kingdom."

"Um, might I ask who you are?"

"Oh, that's right. Forgive my rudeness, I should've introduced myself as well. My name is Maribelle."

"Oh, I'm Ricken." The young boy introduced himself.

"It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

"Yes likewise." Eira watched as she walked around her carefully observing her for reasons unknown to her. "You do carry yourself as someone of royalty."

"I do?"

"Yes, somewhat. But with a little bit of work, and I think we might get along."

"Uh, okay?"

"Now if you'll excuse me, I have important matters to attend to," Maribelle said as she left Shepherd's garrison leaving Eira with Ricken.

"Aaaand... there she goes."

"So, Ricken. Who are you? Are you part of the Shepherds?"

"Yes, I am!"

"Aren't you a little young to be a part of the Shepherds?"

"I'm not a little kid anymore!"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend."

"I'll have you know that I'm not defenceless I know magic."

"Oh wow! Impressive! Where I come from magic is highly respected because of the things magic is capable of."

"Really?!"

"Yes." Eira smiled when she noticed the excited look on his face when she said how respected magic-users are where she came. But even then, she noticed how his face drooped like she something was wrong so she decided to ask wrong. "Is something the matter? You look down."

"Oh, it's just..." Eira noted how he seemed reluctant to tell anything understandable, he is talking to a stranger.

"I don't know what's bothering you but if you let me I could help. Even if all you need is an ear I'll be there."

"I guess I could tell you. It's just that... the other Shepherds don't treat like an ally, a comrade. They treat me like a kid."

"I mean you kinda are." Once Eira said that she heard a small huff which meant that he didn't like hearing that so she quickly came up with something. "I mean, uh, I guess the first you could do is prove you're not a kid by doing something like I don't know, showing them you could fight?"

"Show them I could fight?"

"Yeah, maybe have a little spar match with someone like Chrom, he's your leader, right?"

"Alright, I'll do it!" Eira watched as Ricken left the barracks leaving her behind.

"It felt like he didn't listen to that last part." Eira decided to head back to her room hoping that he didn't misunderstand her words and do something reckless.

Night had fallen Eira sat on her bed while one of the healers tended to her bandages which she was grateful. The healer finished talking off all the bandages and she could tell that she is amazed by something she didn't know what. "Wow! All your wounds are healed! That's amazing!"

"Is it?" Eira said but she quickly realized what was going on. 'I'm so used to it that I forgot. Being a descendant of the Mother of Life has its perks.'

"Even with the healing staves, your wounds healed remarkably quick."

"Is that so?"

"Oh, look at the time. I should go."

"Thank you for taking care of my wounds," Eira said as the healer left the room leaving to her thoughts about the recent events that unfolded while she was rest. She learned that Chrom and his Shepherds had returned from their mission but shortly after tragedy struck when the king of Plegia had people attack a village nearby the border and kidnapped that noblewoman she met before and with everything that happened today confirmed that they indeed being attacked by a neighbouring kingdom. After being stuck indoors for some time, Eira decided to take a little walk in hopes to clear her head. The walk did help ease a bit of her stress but it all quickly came back when she noticed through the window that three people standing out in the courtyard. She couldn't quite tell who they were since the only thing that gave any sort of light up was the moon and all she could tell was that they were being attacked by some unknown party. Luckily, they were cut down rather easily but a thought crossed her mind about what she just witnessed that there was more than possible that there is one than assassin down in the courtyard. Which could only mean the Exalt's life is in danger and she quickly rushed towards where the Exalt's room. With her sword in hand, she could hear the sound of multiple soldiers that are aware of the situation which she could only guess that is it the Shepherds and palace guards. Eventually, she found the Exalt's room and luckily, it didn't look like the assassin didn't make it here yet as far as she could tell. The moment she stood guard a thought crossed her mind and she truly wondered for the safety of the Exalt. She turned to open the door and check on her but before she could check on her the sound of rushed footsteps caught her attention. The owner of the footsteps happened to belong to a woman with long blue hair and she noticed that the moment the mysterious woman noticed her, she shouted at her which happened to be a warning.

"Eira! Behind you!" Eira without hesitation turned to around to see another assassin ready to strike her down but thanks to the warning she received, she was able to block his attack and cut him down before he could finish his job.

"I'd like to thank you for the warning."

"It's nothing but the Exalt is in danger. We need to protect this place at all costs."

"Right." Eira nodded in agreement while they focused on protecting the room from any assassins that would bring harm to the Exalt. During the whole battle, both of them protected the Exalt's room without speaking a word to each other while the Shepherds repelled any who tried to make their way through. Eventually, the battle stopped with the Exalt's life being completely safe and the first thing she noticed was that her partner during the battle was gone. Eira wanted some answers because during the whole battle she wondered how some random stranger, that she met once since coming here, knew her name. There was only one thing that came to mind on who her identity is that she was from her world and is pursuing her for the Fire Emblem to give it to that accursed dragon. But there was one problem if that was what she was here for she wouldn't have warned her about that assassin that nearly cut her down. So Eira wandered off beginning her search for the mysterious woman and she found her talking with Chrom but it seemed like their conversation was close being over so she hid behind a corner waiting for her to arrive. Eira listened carefully for her footsteps which got closer and closer, and the moment she saw Lucina, Eira grabbed her arm pulling her closer towards her to talk in secret.

"What!?"

"Listen, I want some answers. Like how did you know my name? We only met once I know that yet you shouted it at me."

"We met more than once."

"Well, now that you mention it. You look very similar to that guy who found me." Eira said as the realization finally kicked in. "Wait! Are you that guy who found me in the forest? I didn't expect you to be a woman."

"Yes, I was the one who found you that night."

"I see. I guess I have to thank you again for making sure I was found. But that still doesn't answer my question. How do you know my name?"

"I came here from the future."

"The future?" Eira questioned. 'She can't be... I mean I did come from another world but... is it even possible? To be able to time travel? My life must be weird and messed up since I believe her but I can't trust her. What if she's actually from my world.' "I believe you, but I can't exactly trust you for... reasons."

"You don't trust me? Oh, that's right. You're different than the one I know." Lucina mumbled to herself.

"What did you say?"

"Oh, nothing. I think there's one way to convince you," Lucina said as she brought her hand to her chest which kind of confused her since she didn't know how that action was able to convince her. But eventually, she realized as the shock overwhelmed her since on her ring finger is a silver emerald ring. Eira took her hands into her own as she brought Lucina's hand closer for inspection which earned a quiet gasp from the time traveller since she didn't expect her to do that.

"It can't be... but it's the same as..." Eira said as she looked at the ring on her finger which completely matched with the one on Lucina's hand.

"Yes, you gave it to me in the future."

"I see. Do you understand what this means?"

"Uh, no, you never told me anything about it but I knew it was important to you."

"Yes, where I come from there's this tradition about it. It's a tradition that only royalty or other people of nobility take part in. We only give these to people we consider our most trusted ally. That is ring is specially crafted for me so it's unique only found where I live so I don't doubt that I gave it to you."

"I didn't know that."

"Well, I now know I can trust you."

"Thank you."

"Now I have to ask, what is your name? You know my name it's only fair that you give me yours."

"Right, of course. It is only fair that I give you mine. It's Lucina, that's my name."

"Lucina, huh?"

"I'm sorry but I have to leave."

"Of course, go ahead. I won't keep you any longer." Eira said as she moved out of the way for Lucina to leave and once she was out of sight, she too left to search for Chrom. She found him talking with Robin about the recent event and how they were going to go about it.

"Chrom, it's a pleasure to meet you officially."

"Yes, likewise."

"I'm Eira, the one you rescued from the forest."

"Yes, we know."

"Okay, I know this is rather sudden since we don't know each other, but I would like to join your Shepherds."

"We would be happy to accept you to our ranks."

"Really? I'm grateful but why accept me so quickly?"

"It's easy. You risked your life to protect my sister, that's reason enough for me. Might I ask why you want to join us?"

"Thank you, I can't wait to work with you. To answer your question, I... I just can't do nothing while a country is under threat because of some tyrant."

"I see. I like said before we'd be glad to have someone like you."

"Welcome abroad," Robin said.

"Thank you, and who might you be?"

"I'm Robin, the recently appointed tactician."

"I hope I can be of help. So are we going to do anything about those who sent those assassins?"

"Yes, about that. We just finished discussing that, and we decided to escort Emmeryn over to a safe place before departing to Regna Ferox." Robin said.

"Regna Ferox?"

"It's another country neighbouring Ylisse."

"I see."

"When we get there we'll ask them for help for the upcoming war."

'I'm not even here for a week and war is already breaking out.' Eira thought.

"Is something the matter?" Chrom asked when he noticed the troubled look on her face.

"It's nothing."

AN: By the way, that's a one hundred percent made up tradition I'm not sure that's a thing where I'm basing Vanahel from.
