Chapter 18: Protecting Against Valm
"Why do you do this to me?" I ask Inigo who blinks and sticks his hand in his mouth. "No, stop being cute. You woke me up at six thirty today. Six thirty." He blinks again. I sigh and stand up. I hold him against my shoulder and walk over to the window. "You're lucky I wake up with you or you'll wake up mommy." He lets out a happy squeal. "You spoiled momma's boy. That's what you are…" I hold him out in front of me "…you are one hundred percent a momma's boy. When I say daddy…" he blinks at me "… you do that. But when I say mommy…" he smiles and waves his arms "…you do that. Heh." I place him back against my shoulder and look out at the rising sunset over the Ylissian street. "You are lucky your cute." He babbles. I chuckle and walk over to the couch and lay down with him on my chest.
"Imagine me telling your future self that you stuck your whole hand in your mouth. I bet he would blush and tell me to stop." Nothing from the baby on my chest. I sigh and lightly hum Melancholy Hill by Gorillaz and lightly pat his back with my figures in time to the beat. "Up on melancholy hillThere's a plastic treeAre you here with meJust looking out on the dayOf another dream…" He yawns and snuggles into my chest. I smile, remembering a photo my dad had of him and I doing this. It's weird to think about that. "Well you can't get what you wantBut you can get meSo let's set out to sea'Cause you are my medicineWhen you're close to meWhen you're close to me…" I hum lightly as I feel myself getting tired as well. Evelyn sleeps well at night but won't take a nap at all. Even if she is really tired. Inigo falls asleep late and wakes up early but he takes a lot of naps and naps really long too. He always cries at night if either Olivia or myself is not there with him. "Mommy can't do this, now can she?" I pause and think about what I just said. "You know what, she probably could but I know the lyrics to songs so ha. You have to spend time with me in order to fall asleep like this." Inigo either is ignoring me or is asleep because I don't feel any movements from him. I close my eyes.
I hear a knock at the door. After that, I hear footsteps coming down the stairs and the door opening. "Gaius, Cordelia have you seen my son and husband?" Olivia asks.
"I'm sorry Olivia, I haven't seen them. Jordan probably took Inigo on a walk or went to get something from the markets." Cordelia says. I hear more footsteps. "Have you looked around the house?"
"I looked up stairs and I looked out the window and I couldn't see them. I think if he was here he would have turned on some music." She says hastily.
"Maybe he doesn't want to wake you?" Cordelia asks. A pair of feet stop at the couch and I open my eyes. Gaius is standing above me from the backside of the couch with a smirk and a lollypop.
"You know they are looking for you Blazer?" He asks pretty loudly. I smile and close my eyes.
"I thought my foot over the armrest would have been a decent clue." I say and shake my foot. He snickers and I hear two other pairs of feet make their way over to the couch. When I open my eyes again I see Gaius giving a very embarrassed Olivia an amused look and Cordelia is shaking her head. Evelyn is staring down at me from Olivia's arms.
"You should have a shirt on when guests arrive Jordan. It's quite rude." Cordelia teasingly scolds me.
"Calm down 'Maribelle', we didn't know you guys were coming over." I say and slowly sit up, trying my best not to disturb Inigo. "Why are you two over anyway? We never fully planned that breakfast thing."
"What we can't say hi?" Gaius asked in fake shock. I roll my eyes and get up. Cordelia rolled her eyes as well and spoke.
"We are here to tell you to get ready. The Shepherds are marching to Regna Ferox tomorrow." Olivia gasped and my eyes went wide. Has it been two years? It has…shit.
"O-okay. We'll g-go start getting ready." Olivia said with a shaky voice. I slowly nod and stare at the ground. I heard Gaius and Cordelia leave the room and walk out the door. I slowly look up and turn to Olivia who is watching me with tears in her eyes. "I don't want to go." She says with a brittle tone. I put a hand on my baby's back and softly rub it.
"I don't want to leave them." I say as I feel tears fill my eyes. "I don't want to leave them." I let the tears fall. "We…" I look her in the eyes "we have to. We have to." She lets out a sob. Evelyn reaches her hand out and wipes her face. I smile at that. Olivia cries harder but with a smile on her face.
"Thank you, Eve." She says and kisses the top of her forehead. Evelyn gurgles and flails her arms with a smile on her face. I smile and hug my wife. I kiss her on the head and rest my head on hers. She leans into me. We stay silent for another minute before I speak.
"Think of it this way." She looks up at me. "The maids at the castle will take care of our children like they will do with baby Lucina. We will also be seeing their teen or adult versions of them in a month or two I believe. Maybe less." She blinks but then nods and looks back at Evelyn staring intently at Inigo sleeping on my shoulder.
"I'm still unsure…"
"Same here. Same here."
"…and remember that he doesn't sleep until late at night and he wakes up pretty early. He compensates that with taking good naps. Evelyn is the exact opposite. She sleeps well during the night but doesn't take naps at all."
"Jordan, we have to go." I ignore Lissa pulling on my sleeve.
"They both love music and it's an easy way to get them to calm down. Sing softly and…"
"Jordan." She's more agitated now.
"…lightly pat them on the back. Please take care of them. Please." I practically beg. The maid smiled and bowed.
"Of course your highness." I wince at my bullshit title of prince. "I will take care of them like they were my own."
"Neat. Jordan let's go." Lissa said and started pulling on my sleeve. I ripped it out of her grasp.
"Thank you so much. You don't know how much this means to my wife and I. Thank you. I'll make sure to repay yo-"
"JORDAN! SHE GET'S IT! CHROM IS WAITING FOR US!" Lissa shouted. She then started pushing me out of the room. I sigh and give the maid a wave.
"Thank you!" I shout out to her before turning and began walking. Lissa stopped pushing and walked besides me. I looked down at her and she huffed and turned away from me.
"I don't know why you are so worried. They are in good hands here." I shake my head and pat her head. she smacks my hand away.
"You'll understand one day." I tell her.
"Maybe that'll be in one year like yourself. Ha, Chrom would kill Donny." She chuckles. I laugh with her.
"I'll protect your boyfriend from the wrath of Chrom." I say. She shakes her head.
"Nope. You'd die along with him. An angry Chrom is a scary Chrom." She says as we turn a corner to a hallway with natural light bursting through each window.
"All I got was a pissed off Chrom." I say remembering the assassination attempt and everything that happened after that. She hums in agreement as we walk in silence. I scratch at my red beard I've grown since the twins' birth. I trimmed it before we left and thank goodness I learned how to. Time flies by. They are two and a half months now and…wow. time has moved so fast these past years, but hasn't. "It's weird to think about all of that happening two years ago. It seems like yesterday but at the same time like… two years ago if that makes sense."
"It does." She says as I open the door for her and we walk outside to the rather chilly yet sunny November day. We both shudder and I roll my sleeves back down. We take a left to see Chrom and Robin talking to Emmeryn. Vaike and Donnel are loading weapons into the back of the caravan. Sully and Stahl are preparing the horses and talking quietly. Nowi is running around Gregor as he carries some supplies from the castle. Fredrick and Cordelia are overseeing the whole thing but Gaius is doing a good job at distracting Cordelia so it's mainly Freddy. At least he has Miriel to help him. Olivia is sitting with Sumia and Maribelle trying to comfort her. I walk past Chrom and Emmeryn on my way to Olivia and get a little snippet of their conversation.
"-n't like this, but if this is destined to happen then it must happen."
"We will try to make piece first in order to see if they will join us to defeat Grima."
"Walhart wouldn't join us. We would have to join him in order for peace to even be an option. He would have to rule over Ylisse in order for peace to happen."
"I would still like-"
I tune out the rest of the conversation and squat done in front of Olivia. Maribelle stood up, patted Sumia on the shoulder and they both left. She is staring at the ground, trying to be as small as possible by hugging her legs to her body. I slowly unwrap her arms from around her legs and hold her hands. "Sweetie. I…" I sigh and think about my next words. "…I know this will be tough. I'm not feeling very excited about leaving out babies here while we go fight a war. I would rather be here, one-hundred percent. But if we don't go then who will?" She looked at me with red, water filled eyes. "You are one of the few people, who's dancing can inspire and rejuvenate others. You are also making huge strides in becoming a better fighter and stronger. You are an inspiration to the whole army… and to me. Especially me. Without you, this whole army would fall apart."
"Y-your just saying that." She muttered. I shake my head.
"Nope. I'm saying it because it's true. I know it better than anyone. You are important to this army. And not to brag but…" I am now trying some good ole' humor to try and cheer her up. "…I'm pretty damn important as well." I brush off my shoulder and she giggles. Mission success.
"And humble." She says sarcastically.
"The most humble." I say with a cheeky grin. I stand up and offer her a hand. She hesitates but takes it and I help her up into a hug. "I'm here for you. Remember that. Anything you need I will try my best to get it for you." She nods from my chest.
"I know. And Jordan…" She looks up and kisses me. "Thank you." She says once we break apart. I smirk.
"You must have one kickass husband if he would do this for you." I say. She laughs and slaps my chest playfully.
"That's enough out of you."
I let go and shrug. "Alright then your majesty." I look around to see that there are a lot of boxes that need to be loaded. "I'm going to help load these boxes, what will you do now?" She looks around.
"I-I'll find something to do." She says. I nod and kiss her on the top of the head then her cheek and walk over to Donnel.
"That was mighty cute." Donnel says sarcastically as I approach.
"Bite me."
"Ah! Olivia, Jordan! Good to see you two again." Basilio then crushed my bones and soul in a hug. He then leans over to me. "You been treating her bad?" He asks slash threatens.
"No sir, stop killing me please." I choke out. He scowls.
"You're in no position to make demands." He then drops me and Olivia. We both gasp for air as Robin, and Flavia chuckle.
"Now is not the time to dote on your daughter and son-in-law. We got bigger things to worry about. What do you know about Valm Oaf?" Flavia asks or demands. I stand up and help Olivia up.
"I don't know much but I have some people with me that might be able to tell you about the Valmese invasion." He says and steps aside. A chill ran up my spine for no reason. I look around and I see Robin doing the same. Ohh, I get it now. When our eyes meet she realizes it too. Mr. frilly bib wearing archer is back with Cherche. Cher-che, Shershe? I don't know how to pronounce her name. She stands taller than him, around 5'9" with unnatural pink hair and an axe in her left hand. Virion places a shit eating grin on his face and bows towards us.
"Good day, lords and ladies. How far you all? Allow me the gr-"
"Hurry up Virion, we don't have all day." Robin asked. Virion lost his façade for a little while before regaining composure.
"Right then. We have done as you asked. The people of Rosanne are safe in the sunny city of Triad located in the beautiful Regna Ferox. Cherche, my beautiful dark flower Tharja and I, the most high archeriest of archers have-"
"The people are safe. We fled on ships provided by Chon'sin thanks to your letter to Princess Say'ri and we left just before Walhart marched into Rosanne. By now Walhart should have sent troops overseas to bring back the people of Rosanne, and to start his pilgrimage here." Cherche interrupts him. Thank you Cher…she? I don't know anymore.
"Thank you Cherche." Chrom says. He turned to Basilio and Flavia. "We don't have much time then."
"I'm afraid not." Flavia says. "According to our scouts the Valmese ships should be at our shores in a matter of days. We have already fortified the defenses and built some of your 'scientists' machines that should help with long ranged attacks." Chrom chuckled.
"Once Miriel got back, she was working hard on things that Jordan had told her about from earth. It has helped immensely." Chrom says and I smirk.
"Of course they were his. Don't tell him that they are smart machines. It might inflate his ego a bit more." My smirk disappeared after Flavia said that.
"Hey!" I say and the whole room laughed. Virion came and through an arm around my shoulder.
"Jordan my friend, they may crush our spirits but they may never take our pride." He says. Now I know I need to deflate my ego. I sigh and rub a hand through my hair.
"Just pulling your strings there, lad." Basilio says.
"I know. I know." I say and wave them off with a fake frown.
"Excuse me." Cherche said, interrupting our laughing fit at my expense. "But we must hurry towards the harbor."
"Cherche is right." Robin says suppressing some giggles. "We must leave soon. Chrom and I'll get the Shepherds ready. We will leave in an hour exact."
"No can-do missy." Basillio says. "Flavia and I have some political horse crap to deal with before we leave. We'll leave at the first crack of light tomorrow."
"This isn't a plow to have dinner with Olivia is it?" Robin asks. Flavia shakes her head.
"Nope. The oaf is right. We'll have people prepare rooms for the Shepherds to stay in." She says.
"Besides…" Basilio says wrapping an arm around Olivia. "…It would be with her and Lon'qu, plus their insignificant others. Mainly you." He then pointend to me. I give an exasperated sigh and throw a hand up.
"Gods help us." Chrom says.
"This place would have been a lot of fun to go to if there weren't a couple war ships right along the shore line there." I tell Stahl as I point across the blockade of ships being bombarded by large catapults, balistas, and magic fire orbs like the ones in fates. They were all firing out at sea, keeping the war ships at bay. Didn't help the fact that they were sending in soldiers on tiny little row boats.
"I bet they have a bunch of amazing restaurants." He says licking his lips. I know think about the ones in Ylisse that we went to over the 2-year hiatus. Now I'm hungry.
"Thanks buddy. Now I'm hungry." I grumble at him. he laughs and pats me on the back.
"Maybe we could get something later. You know, after we save the town and all." He says. "I'm hungry as well." He laughed and I chuckled.
"When are you not hungry?" I ask. He looked contemplative for a little bit before shrugging.
"Couldn't tell ya." He said. I laughed and turned around to see a pissed Robin staring at both of us.
"What! The! Hell! We have a town to defend and you idiots are talking about food!" She yelled.
"Woah there, I know I deserved being called an idiot, but not my boy Stahl. He's not an idiot." I say. Stahl chuckles and Robin sighs.
"Just…" She then sighs again and rubs her brow. "…Just find your wives and get with your groups. Now go, shoo." She waves us away with her hand. I chuckle and rush away to find Olivia. She basically Second Sealed and I Master Sealed, so today was her first battle as a Myrmidon and mine as a Huntsman. As I turned a corner I saw Ridley with Sumia and helping Fredrick get ready for battle. I snapped my fingers and she came and ran along besides me. I take a left and stop when I came to the caravan. Olivia was blushing like crazy and trying to become as small as possible in her Myrmidon outfit which she looks so good in. She then spots me and rushes to my side.
"I-I don't like this outfit. My legs feel to exposed and m-my ch-chest feels to tight." She stutters out while hiding behind me. I raise an eyebrow at that.
"Like not being able to breath tight? Or to constricting tight?" I ask turning to face her. She blushed and looked away.
"Co-constricting tight." She mutters quietly. I don't really know what to say. I lift her face softly so she is looking me in the eye.
"We'll worry about later but if you do feel short of breath let me know 'kay?" I say. She blinks before slowly nodding.
"Okay."
"Okay. You ready babe?"
"S-sure."
"Stay by me and you'll never be hurt. I promise." I say as I start jogging out to our group, group C because we're attacking them by coastline. Well almost coastline, more of the houses on the coastline but whatever. B was beach and D was dock group. A was asshole group or ambush group, depending on who you talk to. Olivia matches my stride and we run to the far right of the town and meet up with Lon'qu, Panne, Maribelle, Ricken, and Cherche who joined us last minute.
"You're late." Lon'qu says.
"Whoops." I say jokingly.
"Now is not the time to crack jokes man-spawn." Panne stated. I wince.
"Sorry for trying to lighten the mood."
"There is a time and place for everything darling…" Maribelle says reading through her new fire tome "…but now is not the time to be joking around."
"Is it pick on Jordan day?" I ask annoyed. They all look at each other.
"Sure, why not." Ricken said. He grew like an inch or two over the two years and tried to grow facial hair but it turned out to be really gross. I was going to retort but a horn blew and it was time to go. I motioned everyone to kneel as I did. I motioned for Lon'qu to check around the corner. He left peeked quickly and then rushed to me.
"Okay what's over there?" I ask as I motion for all of them to huddle around me.
"They just landed. Three Cavilers, one Paladin, two Knights and one General." He says. I then start thinking. Ricken and Maribell will be most effective against the Knights and General. Panne will be most effective against the Cavilers and Paladin. Lon'qu will most likely stay with her. Olivia needs experience and I need to stay with Olivia. Cherche doesn't have a partner so she'll be vulnerable but not too vulnerable because no bows. So..
"Got it. We'll need to split them up into two groups. Knights and General. Cavilers and Paladin. Ricken, Maribelle and Shershe wi-"
"Cherche." She says. I look up from the dirt.
"What?"
"It's pronounced Cherche, not Shershe." She said with a smile that could kill. I gulp.
"I-I'm sorry Chershe."
"Cherche."
"Cherche?"
"Correct. You learned." She smiled condescendingly. I roll my eyes as Ricken and Maribelle snickered, Olivia giggled, Panne rolled her eyes, and Lon'qu stayed silent.
"Alrighty then. It is pick on Jordan day." More snickers. "Now back to the plan. The Wyvern Rider will join the mages for extra defense and support against the Knights and General. The rest of us will take on the Cav's and Paladin. Understand?" nods all around "Neat. And Cherche?"
"Yes Jordan."
"Can you make a badass distraction slash entrance?" I ask. Everyone looked at me like I grew a second head. "What? A distraction will make them easier targets plus show off a little power while we are at it. Plus" I point to Cherche "She has a dragon." She muttered Wyvern but I ignored her.
"He's right." Lon'qu said. After that everyone agreed. I roll my eyes.
"Ready?" Everyone nodded. "Break." I say and stand up. Cherche then started climbing to the roof of the house closest to us. I almost followed her with my eyes before I remembered her attire. I looked away quickly and walked over to the edge of the other house. Olivia followed and slid in behind me. I pulled off my belt a crossbow attached to a wrist cover and put it on my left wrist. I loaded it and then pulled out my steel sword. I heard two other swords getting pulled out. I peek over and see that they were searching and destroying homes. If I knew that they were going into people's houses I would have just attacked and tried to save people. I sigh and rub my face.
A whistle breaks their concentration and all of us look up to see Cherche standing on the roof of a house. A loud roar and a shockwave ripped through the silence as a kick ass dragon is flying towards us. Cherche then ran and backflips off the roof and land perfectly on Minerva's saddle and crit's a knight. Before he hits the ground a large blast of wind, mixed with a fire ball hits the other knight and he falls over. I rush out and fire at the Paladin, hoping to get an easy kill. It hits his helmet and dinks off. Lon'qu and Panne rush out behind me as they were turning around. Panne attacks one of the Cavaliers. Lon'qu comes in and finishes the job. I reload the minibow and rush at the Paladin. He pulls out the silver lance, twirls it, and comes after me. I fire the minibow and try to parry the lance. The lance barely misses my shoulder as I hit him in the shoulder.
"I can fight too!" Olivia shouts. I turn around and see that Olivia had taken down the Paladin. I feel so damn proud. I then hear hoofs on concreate and I turn back around. The Cavalier twirls his lance and points it at me like we're jousting. I two hand my sword and get ready to parry. He goes for the stab and I parry it up. that was too close.
"Watch and learn!" I shout as I switch my sword and position it so it's at his stomach. I go for the slice and I kill him. He falls off the horse and I flick the blood off my sword. I look around and see Panne changing back to her bipedal form and Lon'qu trying to make it look like he's not rushing over to her. I turn back to Olivia who is staring at the ground, breathing heavily. I run up to her.
"Olivia?" I ask softly as I grip her shoulders. She jumps and puts a hand on her sword. She then relaxed and blushed.
"Oh Jordan, I'm so sorry! I-"
"Are you alright?" I ask. She opened her mouth but closed it when I gave her a look. She sighs and walks over to me and buries her face on my chest.
"No." I can barely hear it because it's muffled by my shirt but I hear it. I envelop her in a hug and rub her back.
"I'm sorry sweetie. Killing never gets any easier. Your mind set is the thing that will help get you out of this. Stahl told me once that these people have signed up for this life. They knew what they were getting into." I get nothing from her. I sigh. Time to bring out the big guns…or little guns. "If we are not here to defend Regna Ferox and Ylisse then they will invade it. They will burn, destroy and kill all their way until they get to Yisstol." She then stiffens. "I don't want our twins to have to go through that like their future counterparts did." She then lets out a sob. I might have gone too far. "But that doesn't mean we have to like it. I hate killing and I wish that people would learn to talk to people and settle things that way but, in this story, that's not possible. So, I will do my damned not to let you or my children get hurt." I pull back and look at her in the eyes. Her beautiful, tear stained, puffy, amethyst eyes. "I promise that I will protect and I am here for you if you ever need it. We will protect this land. If not for the people of Ylisse, for our children." I say with conviction. I think I said most of that last part to reinforce myself. I sigh and let my head fall. Selfish, stupid asshat. That's what I am. I bet I didn't even help her. I felt two soft hands hold my face as it was lifted gently. I now see her eyes. Her determined, driven, beautiful amethyst eyes.
"You're right. We will do this." She then kisses me. My hands encompass her waist and I pull her closer. We pull away and she smiles slightly and brushes my sweaty heir out of my face. "Together my love, we'll do this." I nod my head and smile.
"Damn right." I say.
"You done yet?" Robin asks. We both jump and cling to each other. She lets out a squeak and I let out a less than manly yelp. I turn to see Robin laughing and Chrom rubbing his face. "That was adorable. Not just the yelp Jordan, but that was pretty cute, but the whole pump up speech and such. You two really are too cute." Olivia blushes and hides behind me as I blush and scratch at my beard.
"Thank…you I guess?" I sputter out. She calms down and smiles. Chrom rolls his eyes and steps forward.
"Do we have to stop at Plegia?" He asks.
"Can you pull a ship out your ass?" Basilio asks as he and Flavia join this conversation. Chrom looks perplexed. Robin and I chuckle.
"N-no? What kind of question is that?" Chrom asks.
"If no then we have to go to Plegia. While we do have gold, we don't have a lot and we sure as hell don't have enough ships." Basilio responses. Chrom sighs.
"I don't like it but if we must, we must." He then turned to me. "Yours and Robin's plan better work."
"Why look at me and not her?" I ask him.
"Because I'm his wife." She says roping an arm in his. "And happy wife happy life. Am I right my little bluebird?" She asked in a sickly-sweet tone. I'm surprised Gaius wasn't here. Chrom flushed and scratched at his mark. Basilio, Flavia, Olivia and myself were snickering at his nickname. And how he is so whipped. But hey, so am I.
"R-r-right Robin." He said. And then whispered something in her ear. She laughed and pulled him away.
"We have to get ready for tomorrow's march and talk to the mayor of this village. See you in the morning brother." She called out behind her. Once they left Basilio turned to us.
"So Olivia, do you have any nicknames for boy wonder here?" He asks, jutting a thumb at me. I pale and pray.
I can't sleep. Olivia is passed out in our bed and I'm sitting on the dock with a foot in the water. Looking back on it, today was an alright day. While it was poke fun at Jordan day, we protected the harbor, we know our strategy for the next couple months or years… I hope not years. I want to get back home… which home? Earth or my kids? I want to say that I would choose my kids any day of the week but sitting her reminds me of my family cabin at Lake Coeur d'Alane in Idaho. My great grandmother still lives there and we visit her at least once a year. It's little things like that, that try and call me back to earth. I hate that.
I sigh and stand up. I shake my feet and put my shoes on. I turn and start walking towards the hotel the Shepherds are staying at. The breeze makes me pull the jacket closer to my body. I look over the ransacked houses eliminated by the lamp light. This could have been preventable. Walhart could have not come at all and leave these people alone but no, he had to try and sustain his lust for land by going across the sea to claim this. He's an asshole and a tyrant. This shit doesn't happen on earth… no… it does, I'm just not seeing any of it. Like seeing it in person, not on the news of through photos. Homes destroyed, things lost, bubbles of confidence and safety shattered, as one guy decides to take it all for himself and rule over it. I shake my head and bite back a cursing rant that would make Sully blush.
I quietly open the door and walk into the hotel. Room 209. I open the door and see Olivia's for, still asleep. I sigh and smile. She needs her rest after today. I take of my shoes and shed my shirt. I gently get in the bed and wrap my arm around her mud section. She unconsciously snuggles closer to me and I lightly chuckle. I kiss her hair and remember why I'm fighting to stop him. For the people. People are the greatest thing about any world, game or earth. They are also the worst thing about any world. All problems have come from humanity and their shitty choices. So, protect those close to you and never let go. As the people who make the choices to screw humanity over are coming and it takes an army of people to stop one person with a selfish idea. I hope that this will end quickly and this world can have peace, as well as my family.
"I will protect you." I whisper into her hair. "I promise I will. For Inigo and Evelyn. For baby Inigo and Evelyn. For me. I will protect you."
AN: So... Valm is off to a less than average start. School sucker punched me and then work kicked me in the balls, so I've been busy. I think that this is my least favorite chapter, probably because I didn't plan this one out as well as the next chapter. Anyway Valm is here and now we have my favorite part of the game coming up. These Goddamn child characters. Lucina and some others are showing up next chapter. Morgan is the chapter after that. Inigo and Evelyn will be in five chapters and I want it to come sooner damnit. I want these precious babies to be here but no, I have a plot to follow. Maybe I'll do a couple one-shots? If you are interested please tell me. Anyway, thanks for the support and if you have questions, comments, or criticism leave a review. Other than that, anyone want to Beta read this for me? Just curious. PM me if you would like to. Now I will say goodbye. Goodbye-3008
Reviws:
Pengaius(CH.18): It was one of the things I had to cut out. I wanted it in there but I had no way to make it flow. IT would have been really funny. Yeah, i have a cover now in case you guys didn't know. Check it out.
Sephchipmunk(CH.12&18): If you know of an Emulator that works on Mac with out screwing up the computer, please let me know. Aversa will play a role in the story. She may change. She may not. The reason I didn't add her to the Shepherd early was that it changes the story drastically so it might be avoided in that sense.
Guest1(CH.4): Hell yea he is! I don't really know the others so if you think that one of the Shepherds fits another Guardian let me know.
Guest2(CH.7): Why would you want Jordan to be gay? I'm genuinely curious. Olivia might be the hottest or second hottest one either ahead of or tied with Cordelia in my humble opinion.
Thesayian21(CH.18): Yea I can relate. I just bought a switch and got LOZ:BOTW soooooo yea. The game is amazing though. It's about time they were born seriously. Now they need to be in the actual story jeez. The screenplay was just there to try and solidify his background in writing even though it's journalism. I might use it for something later. If I had more time or less work and school I would have added more with that along with the rough life of a divorce child but in the end I have those things to worry about so I couldn't add all that I wanted to. Shame, might have made an awesome chapter. Thanks for the continuous support and I hope you're doing well. See yea next Review.
