AN: Geez man...what's up with the site? I couldn't get in, but at least we could now! :)
Anyways, like I mentioned, I'm gonna do some Paralogues. It's not that I don't know what I'll put for the next chapter, I have the next chapter almost complete, it's the fact there is a new set of children and time to see what they'll do during their travels and camping.
Paralogue 2: An Exalted Play
Today was such a lovely day for Chrom. The sun was out, the breeze was right, and the bird were chirping, it was a beautiful day at Ylisee.
"What to do?' he muttered to himself.
He chose to wander around camp for his own pleasure. He took note of his friends chatting animatedly towards themselves. From Stahl's wondering of the next meal to Henry's next curses on an unfortunate wildlife, it seemed like any other day for them. He smiled at them, despite their differences, all of them have grown good camaraderie and are all willingly going to die for their comrades. Everyone suddenly became quiet.
"Yahoo!" Cynthia's screams were heard suddenly.
"S-Slow down!" complained Severa.
Suddenly a gigantic beast jumped over the many tents the Shepherds brought up. Chrom noticed both of his daughters were mounted on a transformed Yarne. All in the while, he took note of Cordelia and Sumia's supporting smiles towards their daughters. Panne was chuckling at the sight.
"We have come to slay the dark dragonkins!" declared Cynthia with an excited grin. "Any fools within our path, especially the Heroes of Darkness, will be crushed!"
In an instant, both Minervas screeched and slowly flew down. Owain and Gerome stood on top of the Minervas. They had their sword and lance pointing at the other three.
"Ha just because we work within darkness does not make us evil!" Owain declared.
"Heroes of light we come with no hostilities!" shouted Gerome. The masked man sighed to himself. "Why am I doing this?"
Chrom glanced to his smiling sister who was watching her future son. Cherche giggled at Gerome's hesitance, she thought it was cute, and waved happily towards her beloved Minervas.
"We're here to rescue to beloved prince from his captives!" Severa shouted.
"Ha, that makes four of us." Gerome scoffed.
"Oh these fine beautiful ladies are here to save me!" Inigo announced suddenly, with Nah and Noire at his sides. He muttered to himself. "Why am I the damsel in distress?"
Chrom took note of a giggling Olivia, smiling at her son. Tharja had a raised eyebrow at the sight of her daughter, while Nowi was staring fascinated at the play.
"Blood and Thunder!" Noire shouted in glee. "I am archer who never missed a shot!"
"I am the fallen dragonkin who destroys all rescuers!" Nah sighed loudly.
Finally Chrom's brain finally started to work again.
"What is gods name is going on?" he wondered at the audience.
"Oh father you didn't know?" approached Lucina with Gaius right behind her.
"Free snacks, full of sweets and sugars here!' the thief announced holding lollipops and cakes at his hands.
"Just a play my siblings came up with." Lucina explained. "When we were younger we tended to play make believes and when everything came to be, we just lost all the time to just enjoy our times together."
"Princess's idea excuse here is raise morale and junk!" Gaius added on as he threw a one of Sumia's pie to Lissa, who caught it without effort.
"Well I had to convince Uncle Frederick somehow!" Lucina told her thoughts with a blush.
Chrom observe on how the play continued. Both pairs attacked Noire and Nah separately and have failed.
"Hah your efforts were all for naught!" Noire mocked the two groups.
"Damn a challenge worthy of my sword hand!" Owain gasped for breath.
"Geez they block everything we pull at them!" Cynthia complained.
Chrom stared at the play full of interest like everyone else. It seemed usual the hero would battle his archenemy but the battle would be against his or her favor. Then there will always be a second wind for the hero to defeat their enemy.
"They know each of our individual attacks!" Severa growled.
"Just give it up!" Nah smirked at them.
"I know you guys had your differences!" yelled out Inigo with a dramatic sigh. "You guys have to work together to defeat these two."
"Ha like they'll ever team up!" Nah smirked.
Chrom knew how cliché it would be but he knew how the outcome would out.
"Come Cynthia, Severa, Gerome!" Owain called out everyone's names. "These two are the avatars of greater malice! We must put aside all our grudges for the time being and defeat them!"
Chrom smiled towards all of them. Cynthia and Gerome nodded towards Owain but Severa was hesitant.
"It matters not what your heritage is," the masked rider started. "What matters is what you believe in and the will to do the impossible."
Chrom couldn't help but feel proud of them. They don't have prejudice against anyone and will believe in people. The play ended as Chrom predicted.
"I thank you my saviors!" Inigo bowed down.
"Oh we lost." sighed Noire as she revert back to her normal self.
"P-Please have mercy." Nah begged.
All four heroes looked at the defeated pair. Owain brought his hand out.
"You two fought amazingly against us!" Owain smiled. "If we combine our powers we would be able to protect this world!"
Chrom grinned at the lines. Some members of the Shepherds were technically enemies before like Tharja and Gaius but they switched sides. Chrom can clearly hear all the applauds and cheers.
"Good job everyone!" Lucina congratulated her younger siblings.
From complaints, like Yarne's back and Inigo's role to hearty laughs, the future princes and princesses were having an enjoyable time. They all smiled towards their audiences while the respective mothers, even a reluctant Tharja, personally congratulated them.
"Well very cliché but still entertaining." Robin suddenly appeared next to Chrom with a smile.
"Yes very." the leader nodded.
It was one of his relaxing days with all of his companions. Chrom and the Shepherds don't know when the next battle will occur, so they enjoyed themselves as much as they possibly could. He smiled at them all.
"We will protect this world." Chrom said as he looked up towards the setting sun.
"Yes we will." agreed Robin.
End AN: The play was just a random idea that came out and I went along with whatever I typed. I apologize if there wasn't any humor or such. Well to me this story got the humor and all but I wanted some enjoyment. A bit of sibling fluff since they enjoyed acting the play out.
So it's pretty cool I got around 50 reviews with 9 chapters! It may be nothing to you guys but to me that's big for me! Appreciate the thanks and support!
