Before her first official march off with the Shepherds, Robin and Lissa decided to introduced her to the other members. The first to greet themselves is a young man with short brown hair wearing green armour. "Hey, you're the recruit? It's nice to meet you. The name's Stahl."

"A recruit, huh? Let ol' Vaike know if something's bothers ya, I'll take care of it."

"Uh, okay. Thank you."

"It's just best to ignore him," Lissa said.

"Oh, uh, well, anyway it's nice to meet you all. I'm Eira, I'll be working with you from today onward."

"I wonder how ready you are for a fight?" Sully said.

"Well, she's certainly equipped for it," Stahl said.

"I'm ready for any battle."

"So we meet again." Eira heard a refined but familiar voice behind her that belongs to the noblewomen from before.

"Maribelle. It's nice to meet you again."

"Yes, likewise."

"I'm glad to see you safe. I've heard what happened before."

"Oh, Maribelle. Have you already met Eira?" Lissa asked.

"Yes, it was right before the incident."

"Oh, I see." Before they could continue their conversation, Chrom arrived with his sister and her guards along with some old man that for some reason seemed shifty. Eira narrowed her eyes on the old man since she knew something was off about him but before she could think about any further something caught her attention. She felt her left arm start to shake slightly for some reason that she didn't know why, but knew it wasn't her fault it was acting like this.

"Are you nervous?" Lissa asked.

"Huh? Oh, why do you ask?"

"Well, you're shaking for one."

"No, it's nothing to worry about."

"If you say so."

"What was that?" Eira stared at her Fire Emblem on her arm since she figured out that it was the culprit for shakes she was experiencing. "It was like it was reacting to something." Eira thought as looked up to notice that the Exalt was looking at something too but didn't know what.

"Alright, everyone! We leave now!" Chrom said.

"My first march with the Shepherds. I hope this conflict ends soon, I don't want another Vanahel to happen." As they made their way over to the tower that other countries don't know about so the Exalt will be safe while they are away. While on their way to the tower, the other Shepherds introduced themselves to her which they had idle chitchat.

"So, you're a princess?" Sumia asked.

"Uh, yes, I am."

"Oh, wow! What's your kingdom like?"

"Well, it was a cold harsh place where snow would fall almost every day."

"Oh wow, that sounds like a tough place to live."

"Yeah, it was..."

"Was?"

"You're a Val... I-I mean Pegasus Knight. What's that like?" Eira tried to change the subject which luckily it worked for since Sumia answered her question.

"It's wonderful! Flying through the sky is a wonderful feeling and I get to protect the Captain."

"You must hold a lot of admiration for the prince."

"I do."

"I wish I knew more people like back home, maybe we could have defeated it," Eira said under her breath the other Shepherds didn't hear her and when she looked over to Chrom and his older sister her previous thoughts came back. Now thinking about it, Eira figured out why it felt off looking at the old man and it was the fact that he was acting like how a traitor would act. The way he fidgets around a little and the way he was looking all around them like he expecting something to happen. Judging from Robin's expression is that he felt what she is feeling too and before she could act on her instinct some people that she assumed were bandits came out from their hiding spot to ambush everyone.

"Grah haha! Time to die, princey!"

"Plegian soldiers? Damn! How did they know we were here? Everyone! Prepare for battle!" Chrom said.

"These are Plegian soldiers? They are everywhere!" Eira said as she drew her sword ready to fight them and the first thing she did was to check on the Exalt which she was being guarded by Phila and her guards. Everyone's attention was caught by the person that they could only assume that belonged to the leader. "Smell that, men? The winds of fortune are blowing our way!"

Just like she had expected she watched as the old man had run towards the closest bandit and she ran after him with rage burning in her eyes. "Hold, sir! I am the man King Gangrel told you about! Did you not receive orders to take me in your protection?"

"I've orders to protect a man, true... But I see no man here! ...Only a pig! A rasher of traitorous bacon that sold out his sovereign! And what do we do with little piggies, mmm?"

"Well, you... I mean, perhaps... You let them go free?"

"Oh, are you a chicken now? Bawk bawk! We've got a whole barnyard in our midst! Well, it doesn't matter what you are. The axe will fall just the same!" He signalled one of his men to kill Hierarch and the one closest to him raised his axe to cut him down. Hierarch let out a scream out of fear of losing his life but before the bandit could cut him down, Eira stopped the weapon from striking him and with one swing she killed the bandit.

"Th-thank you! Thank you-!?" Just as quickly the relief had washed over the Hierarch fear replaced it just as quickly the moment Eira's blade pointed at his neck inches from cutting it open.

"Don't you dare thank me, you traitorous dog! If I was leading this army I would have you executed right here and now! But I don't, so that means you have to face the consequences of your actions!"

"It doesn't matter if you save now. Everyone here is going to die anyway." The leader of the ambush party signalled his men to attack while the Shepherds prepared for battle. Eira led the Hierarch towards the back where the Exalt is being guarded so he can be kept safe until he can be tried for what he has done.

"Keep an eye on him," Eira said before she rushed back into battle leaving Hierarch to the Exalt's guard and Emmeryn couldn't help the disappointed look in her eyes.

"I'm... so disappointed," Emmeryn said.

"I...I'm sorry! I didn't want-"

"Be quiet, you traitorous dog!" Phila ordered which shut the Hierarch up pretty quickly.

Running through the battlefield, Eira ran until she ended up right next to the Shepherds Tactician wondering what orders she received which ended up her being partnered with Stahl to hold the line so the bandits couldn't get to the Exalt. Everything was going well despite this being the first time they fought together, Eira and Stahl watched each other back and they cut down every bandit charged at them. It was going well until someone shouted that a certain enemy force was advancing upon them pretty quickly. "Wyvern Riders!" Eira looked around the sky to see where they are coming from and the moment she spotted them she froze in place as fear completely washed over like wave crashing down on her. Eira shakily held Angrval as the Wyvern riders steadily closed the distance to the Shepherds and she nearly ended up dropping her weapon as she stared at the Wyverns the image of that accursed dragon seemly took the place of the Wyverns.

"N-No! Eek!" Eira ducked out of fear as the rider flew right by them to attack them but ended up missing ducked in her panic. The Wyvern circled back which caused her to stiffen up again, and in her panic, she slashed at the Wyvern and thanks to her sword being made to slay dragons it quite easily cut through the Wyvern's scales.

"What's wrong?" Stahl tried to help her but the fear in her eyes made it incredibly hard for her to fight. "You have to calm down!"

"I-I know! It's just those..." Eira shakily pointed at the dead Wyvern lying on the ground, Stahl followed where she pointed at and kind of understood what she meant. "It's fine. It was only a small group of them. They're all gone now."

"O-Okay, I just need a second." Eira tried to calm herself down by taking a few deep breaths and luckily it was enough so that she could fight without being a big hindrance. After all that they were able to end the without any causalities on their side and the Exalt is currently safe from any harm. Now that the battle was over, Stahl wanted to know what exactly happened during the battle and why she acted the way she did.

"Hey, Eira? What happened back there?" Stahl asked and Eira couldn't help but let out a weak chuckle.

"I've... I've had some pretty bad experiences with a dragon before I came here. I guess it caused more damage than I thought."

"Oh, I'm sorry. Well, don't worry. You're apart of the Shepherds now. We have your back if it ever happens again."

"Thank you. I appreciate it." Finally, completely calm Eira overheard the conversation Emmeryn is having with her brother and guard. She watched as Emmeryn pulled out a gold shield much like her Fire Emblem and what she heard next from the royal siblings shocked Eira.

"Here, Chrom. I entrust this to you." Emmeryn said as she handed him the shield.

"The Fire Emblem?"

"Wait, this world has its Fire Emblem?! That must be what caused the strange feeling from before. My Fire Emblem must have been reacting with theirs." Eira whispered to herself. "I need to know more about this world. Like why they even have one. Ours only exists thanks to the Mother of Life's power."

"No! You don't have to go! This is absurd!" Chrom's protests snapped Eira out of her thoughts and wondered what is going on.

"Chrom, you don't-"

"Walking into your death will not bring peace to anyone! Ylisse needs you. WE need you! Be selfish for once in your life!"

"This reminds me of what I went through with my brother. Chrom must love her sister."

"I love you, Chrom. Both you and Lissa are my everything. As for the peace, I seek... You cannot see who it is for. I have to go. I'm sorry—truly I am. Let us embrace again in Ylisstol when you arrive with Feroxi reinforcements. I know you will come." Eira couldn't watch any more since this just reminds her of her brother that she was forced to separate from. She walked away as she thought about her brother and all the people that she was forced to leave behind.

"I hope everyone was able to get away."


Lissa Support: C

Lissa walking through the camp carrying a small container of bugs that took longer than she liked to acquire but it was worth it. Since she had a new target to pull her pranks on, and Lissa couldn't help the smile on her face as she thought about the reaction she could get from Eira. "This is going to be fun!" Lissa decided to continue her search for her victim near the tents which luckily for her she was there coming out of her tent. Just as she made her way over to her, she noticed that Eira placed a hand on her stomach which meant that she was more than likely hungry and the next thing she heard confirmed her suspicions.

"I need to find something to eat."

"Hey! Eira!" Lissa called out to her.

"Lissa? What is it?"

"Oh, nothing," Lissa said as she hid the container behind her back. "So what are you up to?"

"I was going to go have something to eat. It is lunch right now."

"Ooooh, perfect timing~!"

"It is?" Eira said failing to realize the ulterior motive behind her voice.

"Yes, I did bring something you something to eat." Lissa showed her to the container which Eira took.

"Oh, thank you. That's very kind of you." Eira said as she noticed that Lissa seemed like she was holding back something like a smile or laughter for a reason she did not know. Lissa eagerly watched Eira pulled the lid off but instead of the shocked scream like she was anticipated, it was the exact opposite since Eira didn't scream but seemed to stare at the contents confused.

"So, this is Ylissean food? Okay, if you say so." Lissa watched as Eira grabbed one of the bugs that were crawling out of the container. A chill of disgust ran down her spine as she watched someone try to willingly eat a bug so she quickly stopped before she ate one.

"Ew! Ew! S-Stop! Don't eat that!"

"Why?" Eira said as she stopped.

"Because that's not food! How could anyone think that would be food?!"

"But you said..."

"I lied! I was pulling a prank on you!"

"A prank? Oh, I see."

"Geez, this is not what I was expecting to happen. Come on, let's get some real food and throw that away."

"Okay."

"That didn't work out as I had in mind. I'll need to think of something else." Lissa thought.


AN: Yeah, I've decided to do supports as if she was a character in the game. I'll either put them at the beginning or the end of each chapter, or I just might dedicate a whole chapter to one or two supports.
