Notes: OK, so FFnet glitched out on me yesterday when I updated with Danna's chapter, what a thing! Hope it doesn't happen again, it marks it as published in Halloween along with Junia's... It's so confusing.

Stats: Got a looong list this time, starting with a sequel to Slice of pie (ChromSumia), then 500 words for all the following: LissaRicken, PanneFrederick, SullyVirion, StahlCherche, VaikeCordelia, SumiaHenry, MirielGaius, MaribelleDonnel, NowiGregor, LibraTharja, OliviaLon'qu, TikiRobin... and the most surprising of them all? ChromRobin! I have to confess it's the pairing I expected the least, ironically enough; pleases me greatly, though.

Remember! Every mention is 500 words more, and you can ask for as many pairings as your heart needs. I'm not tracking you and I don't judge, you're all delightfully creative and inspiring! Hugs and good wishes!


Morgan had a talk with the newly formed family of Donnel, Anna and Danna. The parents shared that they were expecting a child, but that the merchant was blissfully asymptomatic, so they hadn't said much yet. The girl admitted she hadn't known the camp she had snuck into was the "good guy" camp, and was extremely sorry for what she had done. Lucina was unimpressed though, and they left the trio on their own...

"Chrom said you may need an escort, kid," Priam said, suddenly appearing at his side.

Tiki was also with them, beside Lucina. "There have been many attempts against you, as you took your mother's role."

"Wait... Are you implying that Junia and Danna were actually coming for my mother?"

The other three stopped, and Lucina looked at him with sadness. "Yes, the Grimleal have started a campaign against Robin, Morgan. But she's safe where she is, she'll be alright. And we'll protect you."

"When was all this discussed?"

"We had a meeting at her tent after father questioned the knight, and..."

"She's bedridden for a reason!" Morgan yelled at them. He couldn't believe they were doing things behind their new tactician, but it angered him more that they were inconveniencing his mother instead.

Lucina sighed, grasping his shoulder tightly. "Morgan, everything will be fine. Aunt Lissa hasn't left her side since we left Ylisstol, you know that."

He tried not to cry, nodding a couple times. He had to be reasonable. He had to...

"Got y... Damn it!"

Everyone turned to look at a young boy transforming into a dragon... then curling up on the ground, as if intimidated.

"I can see where this is going," Tiki said, breaking the silence.

"Not the way I wanted to find out you're pregnant," Priam admitted, sheathing his sword.

Morgan and Lucina walked over to the enormous dragon that was trying to sneak away, unaware of his conspicuousness. "What's your name?" the princess asked.

"Kei... Now let me go, I can't mess up again!"

Tiki cleared her throat, then spoke with authority: "What did you do?"

"I didn't do anything to dad's sword! Or to grandma's book!" Kei was back to human form and kneeling in front of his mother.

Priam sighed, picking the scrawny kid up. "And what were you trying to do?"

"I... was doing... my friends... a favor?"

Morgan didn't even need to have it confirmed. "You allied yourself with the Grimleal, and they told you to kill Ylisse's tactician."

The boy looked at him in wonder. "You're just like...!" he clamped his mouth shut, then he chuckled, "Hey, can you teach me how to be awesome like you?"

"We're having some words with you first, young man," Tiki said in all seriousness.

Priam nodded in agreement. "Morgan and Lucina, go to a safer part of camp. We will join you later."

Morgan felt his half-sister's hand grasping his, as she guided him through the labyrinth of tents. Kei's strange reaction remained fresh in his mind.


Kei the Manakete: Son of Priam and Tiki. As a child with an impressive legacy, he feels he fails to live up to everyone's expectations. He's right. In his future, he broke Ragnell and has a bad relationship with Naga. Travels with the others to the past to try to undo his mistakes.
