Rant incoming, ignore if you wish to better yet just hear or read my rant...thank you. ARGHH I really got to stop updating like early morning, as in around 3-4 AM (Yeah my body clock is screwed up). I decided I'll just update afternoonish to evening time...starting right now! So yeah if you're reading this when I recently updated my story with this then go back to the Gerome chapter...like two chapters back.


Chapter 7: Silly Taguel

Right now the Shepherds were stuck between two mercenary groups. The two groups are called the Stonewall Knights and Riders of Dawn. Both sides demanded Chrom's assistance and even promised them payment. However Chrom was disgusted and refused to side with any of them.

"A challenge worthy for my sword hand!" Owain laughed.

"Chrom you do realized how harder this would be." sighed Robin.

"Umm father they're working together against us." Lucina pointed out.

"What?!" Chrom shouted in shock.

The battle went underway and Robin decided to liberate the town occupied by the Stonewall Knights. While Gerome and Cynthia were assigned to hold of the Riders of Dawn with their mounts, everyone else easily overwhelmed the knights.

"Man-spawns and their greed." Panne muttered in her beast form.

As she swiped away another soldier, another Taguel approached Panne rather nervously. Panne glared at the other transformed Taguel who shied away quickly.

"You there!" Panne ordered the nervous Taguel who reverted back.

She took note of the natural Taguel hair but the middle stripe was blue and the Mark of Naga is at his thigh. Panne sighed to herself and reverted back as well.

"That's the last of them good job Panne." Chrom nodded at the sole Taguel of the army. He turned around to stare at the other Taguel with them. "You must be my son from the future then?"

"Huh son? Then that means..." the male Taguel muttered as he suddenly hugged Chrom.

"Can't breath!" Chrom wheezed out.

"Oh father I finally get to meet you! It was so scary and I didn't want to make my kind go extinct!" he cried out as he held onto Chrom some more.

"Enough!" Panne growled as she took him of Chrom. "And your name is?"

"Y-Yarne mother!" Yarne nervously introduced himself.

Panne stared at her future son intently wondering why he was so nervous or cowardly. She sighed to herself and noticed Lucina approaching them with all of her siblings.

"L-Lucy!" Yarne cried as he hugged her.

"Thanks goodness we found you Yarne." Lucina patted his head.

"Pfft finally some brother I can tolerate!" Severa shouted with her usual snarl.

"Y-Yarne." Noire smile at him.

Chrom smiled at the children's interaction. He was glad there was no fighting among any of them. He chuckled to himself wondering if his future self was proud of them.

"Father we have returned." Gerome approached the group, with Cynthia on his side.

"Good always wins!" Cynthia grinned and took note of her siblings down below. "Hey Yarne!"

"H-Hey guys." he replied nervously. "G-Guys if I suffocate here from how close we are I-I might just die and the Taguel will be no more!"

The siblings, even Gerome, had a good laugh and patted Yarne as he complained from all the attention he's getting. Panne couldn't help but smile at the sight, however she glared at Chrom.

"Y-Yes?" Chrom asked the female taguel.

"I guess I have to be your mate so I'll join the rest of the girls." Panne sighed as she walked away.

Panne held great respect for all of her Shepherd comrades. Despite some of the more bizarre antics of some members, Panne couldn't believe she would gladly die for any of them. The human females she even respected more due to their assertive nature especially towards Chrom.

"Please don't be like Inigo." Chrom begged within his thoughts.

After saving Nah and defeating Walhart, the Shepherds were praised as heroes. They were granted one of the biggest inns at the city, which was luckily intact since the battle took place outside the castle gates. There Inigo, Owain and a reluctant Gerome started to woo many young women. However Chrom and the mothers had to stop them and could still recall all the girls cries.

"I have an idea Yarne!" Inigo grinned.

"Oh gods..." Gerome sighed at his brother.

"To help you repopulate your species, you must come with us the next time we rest at a town!" Inigo suggested still grinning.

"Better yet why not transform into a mount and we shall swoon the ladies with a mount that can speak!" Owain added another idea.

"By the gods I never thought of that. Good idea cousin!" Inigo laughed along with Owain.

Yarne was shocked by his brothers' request. From all the siblings he was the most cowardly but he had his brave moments. Before all of humanity was wiped out he simply shied away from his brothers since they talked with all these strangers. He was never pressured but he could feel their eyes on him as he stood at the back. Still, him to repopulate his species was one of his current goals.

"So I can join the Exalted Hunks?!" Yarne asked excitedly.

"Join us?" Inigo snorted in disbelief, which changed to a smile. "You are already one of us. I used to be greatly shy myself but now I can be sociable as any man can be."

"Anything that is female." muttered Severa

"R-Repopulate my species." Yarne grinned. "Father I'll just be like you!"

Chrom sighed at how easily this son was influenced by everyone else. It was crazy enough Inigo and Owain were absolutely convinced they were destined to have multiple wives and now they are 'corrupting' Yarne as well. However he felt like something is missing.

"Oww Severa?!" Inigo whined as he clutched his aching arm.

"Why would you do that to our bunny?!" she demanded.

"Yeah our fluffy bunny!" Cynthia agreed.

Yarne blushed at all the attention but he sighed in content as Nah and Noire scratched his ears. Lucina only glared at her brothers.

"Enough!" she ordered her younger siblings. "We all came back to prevent this disaster, let's concentrate on that."

Chrom smiled at his daughter, she seemed to be a natural leader. She is grown up and he could only wish he would see his Lucina grown up to this powerful individual.

"However one of our secondary objectives is to spend more time with father!" she instructed with eyes glinting.

All his children, even Gerome being dragged by Cynthia, and Owain started to dash towards him. He could hear their ramblings, their cries of joy, their tears. Lucina told him how bleak the future was and all of the Shepherds were clearly dead. He knew how much they missed their parents, especially him. His daughter explained he died before any of her siblings her born so their heart was missing a father's love. Right now he would gladly spent time with them.

"Need space!" Chrom gasped out from all his children surrounding him.


END AN: Hey four kids left! Anyways A Taguel mount sounds pretty cool! Whattaya think, Owain's idea is genius? Ok that was off topic, well at least the bunny of the group is finally in!

In topic, I believe it's time for some more paralogues since I already got another set of children recruited whattaya think?
