After taking care of the bandits, the Shepherds continued their journey to Ferox. The trip was thankfully, univental after the bandit episode, and besides on of their members, Sumia, staying back to help an injured Pegasus they found at the side of the road, there were thankfully no other pit stops.

Five minutes or so away from Ferox

"So, Lauaunt," Inigo asked the mage fairly quietly, "you're friends with Kjelle right? So dose that mean your from the Future as well?" Lauraunt looked shocked but calmed down quickly before asking "How, may I ask, do you know that?" "Unintentional innterigation session," Kjelle answered, joining in on the males conversation, "but he agreed not to tell the others about this." "I cannot fathom how disappointed I am that you let our secret slip so soon." Lauraunt said while rubbing the bridge between his eyes in annoyance. "Hey," Kjelle yelled, "it's not my fault he asked so many questions!" "Well maybe you should of come up with a better excuse then!" Lauraunt yelled back. "Guys," Inigo said pretty much hissing, "Keep it down, the others might..." "YOU STAY OUT OF THIS!" they both yelled at the prince. "Is something wrong you three?" Robin asked coming over. "I tried to warn you' Inigo said with a nervous smirk.

"Robin," Kjelle said nervously, "we're all fine, we were just...um..." "Debating our next move," Lauraunt quickly finished for her, "the Feroxi aren't known for diplomacy, so we were having a little debate over what we should do if a fight broke out." "Yeah," Kjelle said playing along," me and Lauraunt just had very different ideas, so we got into a bit of an argument, that's all." "Really," Robin said looking skeptical, "then why didn't you tell the others about this?" This left Kjelle and Lauraunt stumped before Inigo spoke up. "They just wanted to run their plans through me first just in case they needed ironing out. They reason they yelled at me was probably just ager talking." Robin still looked skeptical, but decided to leave it at that. "Okay then," Robin said turning away, "by the way, you may want to hurry up, the rest of us are almost at the boarder." "Right" the three said. Once Robin was out of earshot, Kjelle went over to Inigo, "Thanks for that, kid." "Don't mention it," Inigo said with a smirk, "I always keep my promises, especially to a lady like yourself." "Kjelle dramatically rolled her eyes at the last part before the two ran to catch up.

Feroxi Boarder

"Yeah right, and I'm the queen of Valm!" the boarder guard was saying to Chrom once the prince and the two future kids caught up. "You do realise that impersonating royalty is a capital offence? Mmm...Then perhaps we should settle this the Feroxi way. You claim to be the royals of Ylisse and there guards, prove it on the battlefield!" "Ugh..." Chrom said annoyed, "Emmeryn won't like this... Good lady, please! If you'd just listen-" "I've heard enough!" The guard yelled, "attack!" "No backing down now then," Inigo said, "looks like we're doing this the Feroxi way then..." "Guys," Robin yelled, "duck for cover, NOW!" The moment Robin finished her sentence, some border guards threw their lances at the Shepherds. "SCATTER!" Robin yelled before the Shepherds ran away. Unfortunately, Chrom tripped on a dead tree branch and was stuck. "God damn it" Chrom said as some archers shot arrows arrows in his direction. "Chrom!" Everyone shouted as Inigo, Robin and Fredderick ran {or rode} over. Just as the arrows were about to hit Chrom, a white and pink blur went past him and flew off, taking the prince with him. "What the..." Chrom said confessed, before looking at his rescuer, "Sumia?" "You'd better hold on tight captain," Sumia told him, "it could get bumpy." "Ug...Right" Chrom said, still in shock. "Sumia smiled at Chroms baffled face before saying, "You'll be fine." "MOVE!" An unfamiliar voice called out, giving them enough warning to get out of the way before they were hit by arrows. "Sumia!" Chrom told her before drawing his sword. "Right," Sumia said, getting the message, flew on top of the wall to take care of some of the enemies.

Back on the ground

"What's going on up there?" Robin asked, casting her thunder spell on some of the Feroxi troops. "Your guess is as good as mine Buttercup." Inigo said while kicking a solider in the stomach before slashing there stomach, knocking them out. "Back to Buttercup, huh?" Robin asked before moving onto another enemy." "I tell you," Inigo said while blocking a slash from an axe, "I can't help it. It just feels right." "I'll tell you what," Robin said with a smirk, "you can call me Buttercup all you want, but I get to call you Bluebell, deal?" "Deal," Inigo said, "Now, care to help me with that knight over there, Buttercup?" ""Got it Bluebell." Robin said, getting ready. "Those two are defiantly going to become a thing." Vaike said laughing. "That is an appropriate estimate." Mirel replied in her usual tone.

Top of the Wall

Chrom paried a sword slash before kicking the enemy in the head. "Are you holding up okay Sumia?" Chrom asked while taking a quick breather. "Don't worry," Sumia said, flying past multiple enemies on the walls edge, knocking them off in the process, "I'm doing just fine. Worry about yourself Captain." "Alright then." Chrom said, not knowing the new pegasus knight to be so... skilled, would be the right word, in battle, and went over to a knight which Chrom dodged his lance swings before stabbing him with his rapier "Hey," Chrom said, noticing that Sumia's spear looked weird, with it having a longer, narrower point that also had a curve to it "where did you get that spear. I've never seen something like it before." "That's because I made it," Sumia replied bluntly, "I was reading some history books and these types of spears, are called Naganatas, and were very effective in wars in the past. I figured, I might as well try one and see how it goes." While Sumia was explaining, Chrom took out another knight as well as some fighters, while Sumia took care of some mages. By the time she was done, the only Feroxi left standing was the leader.

"Prepare to face me!" She said when Chrom came over, "if you are Exalted blood, prove it on the battlefield!" The guard swung her lance at Chrom, but he dodged it before striking back. The woman was faster than the other two knights though, as she dodged his sword with relative ease, then struck back. Chrom was a bit too slow to dodge this time, as the spear left a nasty gash on his shoulder. "Agh!" Chrom yelled, but struck again, this time hitting the weak point in the woman's armour, causing most of it to come off. "My turn!" Sumia said before striking the woman in her gut. "Omph.." the woman said, "you're going to regret that!" "Don't even think about it!" The voice from earlier, who was now revealed to be a black haired pegasus knight with similar armour to Sumia's, flew in, holding her lance out, ready to strike...before falling off her mount not to far from the ground. "Omph..." she said, before putting her thumb up and saying, "Cynthia is okay!" While the situation was odd, Chrom used the opportunity caused by the Cynthia girl to knock the guard to the ground and pointing his sword at her neck. "Heh," the woman said with a small smirk, "well played. Looks like your claims were true"

Later

"Well," Stahl said, collapsing on his bed in the guest room the Shepherds were given for the night, "that was, A LONG day." "You can say that again, Panther Jr." Sully said sitting on her bed. "Panther Jr.?" Cynthia asked, who had been given permission to join the group earlier, "Why do I feel like I'm missing something here?" "Can you keep it down please," Lissa whines, "I'm trying to get some sleep here!" "Lighten up princess," Vaike says, "it's fun to stay up late." "I have to agree with Lady Lissa here," Lauraunt says, "it's late and we all need our sleep." "Are you kidding me!" Sully said laughing, "I want to at least stay up another hour before I even think about turning in." "But didn't you say you *yawn* felt tired?" Inigo said, clearly knackered. "No, I said it was a long day, I never said I was tired. There's a difference." Sully retorted. "I guess staying up for a while longer wouldn't hurt." Stahl said, despite feeling tired. "That's the spirit!" Sully said, slapping Stahl on the back playfully. "I want to stay up later to!" Kjelle said. "Can't you at least stay up somewhere else?!" Lissa said, looking ready to fight for her sleep. "Stop being such a killjoy!" Vaike said, staring Lissa down. Just when it seemed a fight, or at least an argument was going to break out, Robin, who was tired and had enough, yelled "IF YOU ALL DON'T PIPE DOWN AND GO TO SLEEP NOW, I SWEAR THERE WILL BE HELL TO PLAY!" Not wanting to face the tacticians wrath, all sides went into bed and tried to go to sleep. "Thanks Buttercup." Inigo said to Robin. "Don't mention it Bluebell," Robin said before letting out a massive yawn,"You're not the only one that's pooped." And that was the last thing that was said before the lights went out and everyone went to sleep.
