Memories of You
April Fools
Chapter Two
Author's Notes
Me: Hi I'm back; I'm so glad you like the first chapter. In this world they actually have last names! So bear with me if they are terrible. Fortunately only the side characters will get them. I won't be giving Lissa or Adam or Virion or anyone else a last name.
Owain: We hope you enjoyed the first chapter of Memories of You.
Morgan: From now on the fluff with Adam and Lissa will be flashback until their reunion, or will it?
Tharja: Adam or rather Edward Suoh doesn't own FEA. Heheheheh.
Me: Okay before we start. I almost made this a tow part thing since it was so long. But I didn't. Though I did take one of the scenes at the end and put it with the next chapter, but all the April Fools goodness is here. Enjoy.
It had been full week since he arrived in this other Ylisse. That's what he called it anyway. He had come without any weapons, and his ring was gone, but other than that it was like he had never left. So far he had discovered that this world was a war filled world like back home, but with a different kind. This war was fought with politics and economics. Though there was less bloodshed, it was just as bad as war. Children would go missing, and people would look the other way, greedy entrepreneurs would swindle money from unsuspecting street children, backstabbing nobles would kill to protect their honor, and no one seemed to care. Granted they did grow up with this but still.
He looked at Lissa as on the other side of the carriage. She looked up at him and spoke. "What is she like, this Lissa of yours. Is she like me?"
"Why are you wondering?" Adam asked legitimately curious. Lissa had made it clear that she was not his Lissa. She was more refined, more distant and more suspicious.
"Mere speculation, just humor me okay." She answered in an irritated tone.
"Jeez, you sound just like Maribelle. Fine." He smiled and looked out the window as though looking at her. "She's a lot like you, I suppose, but less rough around the edges, she's warmer and more accepting. She's a lot more naïve, but that's one the thing I love about her."
"You really love her don't you?"
"Of course I do, she is my wife. Hey." He turned his head from the window to the princess. "What's with that look?"
"The other me, she's a lucky girl, marrying the one she loved. I don't have that luxury, my marriage was arranged with a nobleman form the De-Swa family. Other than his first name, Alexander, I don't know anything about him." She laughed a little, tears forming at her eyes. "I don't even know what he looks like, and our wedding is in six months. Crazy isn't it."
"You're not as reclusive as you let on. You want to be accepted and loved, but your station mandates otherwise. Am I right?" He asked. She looked at him in shock.
"Don't give me that look, I just remember when you said that to Maribelle, or rather my Lissa did."
"Would you, um." Lissa said squirming. Adam looked at her in curiosity. "If it isn't too much of a burden, could you tell me, a story of the two of you? It might help to kill the time, we won't be to Regna Ferox for a few more hours."
"Sure, anything to help a friend."
"We are… friends? I can't even imagine trying to be friends with someone who looked like my spouse. Especially if she didn't love you." She looked down her face downcast.
Adam thought for a minute and called to her "Hey Lissa look!"
"What is it… what are you doing? Why are you stretching your face out like that?" the princess asked.
Adam released his face, which was now flushed. "You see, in my world, Lissa said I had this rubbery face thing I made when I got upset, and she said she loved seeing it, so I thought maybe…"
"How can you be so kind? I've acted so cold to you, and I look like your lover. How can you be so nice to me? It doesn't make any sense."
"I'll admit it is a bit weird, but it wouldn't be fair to you if I held anything against you from someone else. So let's see about that story. Oh, I've got it. We had just saved a village from bandits and…"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Lissa woke up smiling, something she hadn't done for three weeks, ever since her brother's tactician, the father of her children, her husband, her best friend had d…
No he was still out there, they had made a promise; she just had to find him. But that was the weird thing, it was almost though she has seen him last night, in her dream. But it was familiar somehow.
A knock on the door interrupted her reminiscing. "Lissa, it's me Chrom, are you decent."
"Yeah, come in." he opened the door and stepped into his sister's dormitory. As Ylissean royalty it was, needless to stay large. She had made orders to renovate it for two, but there band of comrades had been pulled away for the war with Valm, and the ensuing Grima chaos, before it was completed. She had longed to come home and just live with the love of her life and their two children, but the room was finally finished and he was gone. She had spent the past few days after the battle with Grima in their room, or the room they would have shared if he was still here.
Morgan was very isolated, she locked herself in the library (She still didn't know how; the library didn't even have a lock!) and was presumably studying tactics to impress her father for when he returned, or so the note she discovered in her amnesiac daughter's room, said. She had taken this exceptionally hard, as she had a mother and brother, but the only parent she remembered was gone. The other two were despite the bond they felt, strangers she had recently become acquainted with.
Chrom wasn't much better he wandered the halls for a few days, was comforted by Sumia and attempted to dissuade the officials who requested his presence. He went on a trip with Sumia and the whole of the Pegasus Knights in an attempt to locate his missing friend. She had even gone with him, but they didn't discover anything to give them any clues to Adam's whereabouts.
Owain however was the worst off. For days he neither slept nor ate, he simply practiced with his sword, destroying everything in his path, similar to his uncle. He broke through his first batch of swords in mere hours, and had bested every soldier stupid enough to duel him. Some said he fought even harder than the mighty Fredrick himself.
His wife Kjelle had tried to console him. "Even I don't train this much Owain, you're going to run yourself into the ground. Honestly, I'm worried about you."
"I can't stop." Was all he said for the first three days. The normally optimistic Owain had sunken into depression. He blamed himself. "I came back to stop this dark future, to save my father, but instead of the death I thought he suffered, I thought I had avoided it, but it seems I killed him once again."
"It's not your fault. He chose to die, to save all of us." Kjelle had tried to reason with him, but he wouldn't hear it.
"I was there when he di… he said he was protecting me! Why the hell did I even come back!? All I did was kill him a second time! Always protecting me. I wasn't strong enough, but I will be, I won't let anyone else die. I thought about what you told me, about how I needed to take this war more seriously. Maybe, if I had, my father would still be alive!"
That earned him a slap from his wife. "Idiot! Did you disregard your father's wishes so easily?! Remember what he told you? Never lose sight of yourself. This person right now, isn't Owain, I didn't marry this nut! So tell me where my Owain is! You'd make you father sad if he saw how pathetic his son was acting!"
He didn't talk to anyone for another week. Then only Inigo was the only one who was able to get through to him. "Owain, look. Remember losing your father the first time? I do, but even then we had a war with the Risen on our hands, we couldn't afford to stop smiling. We had to be the heroes, even if it was fake. I was always jealousy of you, of the joy you found in such a crappy life. So what happened?"
"There is no joy left." Was his meager reply.
"That's a lame excuse." The dancer answered bluntly. "You have eight childhood friends, two cousins, a sister, a wife, a mother, an uncle, an aunt. I see plenty of reason to be happy. Your father did what he did so all those I mentioned could live in peace, happily, not mope around. Way to honor your father's memory."
"Shut up."
"Owain, your father was a strong man, it will take more than that to kill him. We just have to wait. He was a hero, and you and I both know that heroes always come back when you least expected. A grand entry at the last moment. His triumphant return, we just have to be patient. So until then, live like you used to. That way when he comes back, he will see you, happy, just the way he wanted you to be."
Chrom finally spoke "Did you…" The blue haired prince began.
"Dream of him? Yes, and I take it you did too. It was like the first time we met him. On that field. It felt so real." She answered clinging to the pleasant memory, a stark contrast to her current situation.
"But we checked there right, with the Pegasus knights, so…" The Exalt continued.
"So, it must have just been a dream." She smiled "But still, it was nice to see him again. Hey do you remember. April Fools, the first year we had known each other?"
Her brother smiled as he thought back. "That was a long time ago."
"As I recall…"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"WHAT! I prank people in your world? How could I do something like that?"
"It's your trademark actually. You or she would prank me all the time to see that rubbery face thing. You have April Fools here right?" the Grandmaster asked.
"I'm… familiar with the custom, though I would never stoop to something as low myself." Lissa answered. "So, continue."
"After being the butt of all he pranks for so long, I decided to take matters into my own hands and out prank her. But not only out prank her, but avoid all her pranks as well."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Flashback
The moment was perfect. This water was from the coldest lake in Regna Ferox, coupled with snow the mountains. A good early morning wake up for Adam. Oh he had tried to hide. But she had found him.
Well truth be told she just got lucky and overheard. He told Chrom he was worried about her pranking him and asked to spend the night in his tent. Ha, he had been foolish enough to think that alone would stop her. Even as a tactician he was no match for her.
She crept up to him slowly, holding the bucket over him. Then when she dumped it all on him at once. "AH, cold, gods Lissa, what did you do that for?" Wait.
"Chrom! But your hair it's…" She stopped as her brother removed his white hair and revealed his normal royal blue hair. "A wig, then where is… AGH why can't I move?"
"Glue, l honestly Lissa I didn't expect you to fall for such an easy prank." Lissa turned and saw the intended object of her prank standing just barely outside the tent with a rope in his hand. "If you look up you'll see a bucket filled with frogs. And in my hand, is the rope that controls the bucket. See where this is going?" The tactician asked.
"I thought you hated frogs." The cleric questioned.
"I believe an old friend of mine had a good reply. Oh yes. I think she said 'I'm willing to put up with a lot for comedies sake.' I also heard the worst part of a punishment is the anticipation, so let's slowly tip the bucket over and I'll watch you squirm."
"How did you know I'd come in here?"
"I was sure you were following me when I told Chrom, I had this set up the whole time."
Lissa blushed, "How long have you know I've been following you… AGHAGAHAGGHA Slimy, cold so gross."
"Sorry, I couldn't wait the anticipation was killing me." He wiped a tear out of his eye, "Now I see why you're always pranking me. The glue should wear off, soon-ish. Bye!"
"Wait." She smirked "Don't think this is over."
It wasn't of course, Lissa still had many more pranks planned, but she decided they would all focus on Adam. Chrom continued to thank Naga for that for weeks. He couldn't just foil her plan and walk away unscathed.
Her next attempt was at nine, barely an hour after their previous encounter. He was reading a book under the shade of a willow tree. Lissa decided bees were a suitable weapon for her next attack. She found a large beehive and carefully unhooked it from the tree. She then crept up on her victim and threw the beehive at his feet and took off giggling. The she fell.
"What the heck. I must have spent too much time around Sumia." She picked herself up and started running and fell again. "Okay, something is wrong." She heard running footsteps and saw
Adam running from the insects. "I had Tharja prepare a two left foot curse on you, just to be safe. Now get up." She managed to stand and when Adam passed her he grabbed her and started running.
"Thanks, but… why are YOU HEADING TOWARDS THE LAKE!?"
"Simple, I can't just leave you there, but I've got to do something." He answered pitching her into the water and then running away from the bees.
"You're going to get…" Lissa pondered for a moment, how long he had been preparing. He seemed to know her inside and out. Well there was no way he would be able to avoid her next one.
He had just begun his gentleman lessons with Maribelle and was dressed up all fancy like in a suit and tie. She had to admit he look rather handsome. "WHERE did that come from?!" She thought. Though it was true. His black leather suit complemented his silvery hair and his now tanner complexion well.
Seeing him like that, especially with Maribelle was, weird. There wasn't any other way to describe it.
"Alright darling, I'll go get some tea and then we can work on the proper position of your finger while drinking tea, while addressing a noble of a higher rank, if it is raining and a Tuesday and you are wearing a hat." (Sorry, couldn't help it) Maribelle explained and headed to the back presumably to get tea.
For some reason Lissa felt her face get hot and a jealous rage overtook her. She pulled out the tome and set out to do what she was here for in the first place. It was a mud ball tome she had purchased from Anna. There was no way Adam could have figured out she had this, Anna had sworn she would have buyer confidentiality.
When Adam had his back turned to her she opened her tome and chanted under her breath. Unfortunately the last part required yelling to activate, but it traveled fast enough it didn't really matter. "Fly Mud Ball."
Adam turned and pulled out his tome, presumably a reflex he had developed being on the front lines with Chrom for nearly a year. But it didn't matter, this was meant to dirty his clothes, so she only needed one shot.
"Reflector" The amnesiac opened his tome and a weird barrier appeared around the mud bounced back at her! She tried to dodge but the mud came so fast. "Ahg, how did you do that?"
"A reflector tome." He answered simply.
"How did you know? I swore Anna to secrecy, there was no way you could have seen this coming."
"Please, this is Anna where talking about. All it took was twenty gold pieces and she was spilling her guts. Come on Lissa, you use your own money to buy a second seal, don't tell anyone, and act like nothing happened. I figured normal magic couldn't be used for pranks, but I figured Anna probably had something. After that it just took a little bribing and then I purchased this tome. Problem solved." He had the same look in his eyes he had when he revealed his tactical plans to an enemy general.
He walked over to the fuming princess. He reached into his chest pocket and pulled out his handkerchief. "There we go, mud doesn't suit you. It's such a drab color." He said wiping away the mud from her face. She blushed and turned around so he couldn't see it.
"I'm still going to get you, don't think you've won." She giggled and ran to prepare her next trap. "Geez, what was that. Why do I feel so…?"
She decided to get a new dress and do her hair before her next attempt. Her pride as a prankster was on the line. But this time, it would require less faience. That way he wouldn't see it coming. But first she needed a favor.
"Hey Gaius, can I borrow you for a second?" The prank master said calling the candy obsessed man over.
"Sure princess what is it…? You want me to do what!?" The orange haired thief exclaimed in shock.
"Please, I'll give you my dessert for two weeks." The youth begged.
"Two weeks, okay you've got a deal. Getting Adam must be really important to so easily part with such a tasty price." He said ignoring the girl's very obvious blush.
"I need you to find Chrom."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Adam was making the rounds looking for intruders, bandits, Risen or anymore of Lissa's traps. He had fortunately seen none of the previously mentioned on his trip. Meandering into his own tent he plopped down onto his bed. His peace was interrupted by Lissa. Of course.
"Adam! Help an assassin has Chrom. Quick grab your sword." She commanded, the panic in her voice prevalent. If this was an act, she was doing it very well. If there really was an assassin he didn't have any time to lose and could easily fall into a prank. It was a good move on her part. But she couldn't have done anything to his tome, he had it on him the whole time
"Okay, I'll get my tome you grab my sword. Hurry." He watched and grinned as she hesitated. This was a bluff. "What's wrong Lissa?" He asked the fake innocence in his voice. "We need to hurry."
She squeezed her fist. "Fine" She yelled and grabbed his sword off his desk. She turned around and pushed the sword onto his chest. In her anger she managed to forget she had sealed the entire sword with a super glue that would take at least nine hours to wear off. Now they were stuck together.
"Here let me try to get to off…" The tactician offered grabbing Lissa's hands.
"No" Lissa cried, but it was too late. His right hand was now stuck to her two hands.
"Quite an elaborate plan." He complimented trying to avoid the subject of their hands.
The princess seemed not to mind the derailing of the conversation. "So you knew?"
He nodded "I knew it was fake. C'mon April Fools, you being Lissa and what assassin could kidnap Chrom." The tactician of Ylisse bluffed. "So if I had gone who would have been the 'assassin'?" He asked air quoting with his free hand.
"Gaius. I had to give him two weeks of dessert to get him to agree. And now I don't even get to see your face."
"I can make some funny faces if you'd like." He said making a dopey smile.
Lissa laughed and with Lissa's hands on his chest and his right hand they tried to maneuver awkwardly out of his tent.
"So since you don't have any dessert, you can share mine. If that's all right with you that is." Adam suggested rubbing the back of his head with his free hand.
"Adam. Thanks."
There tender moment was interrupted by the Vaike. "Adam, Lissa… Oh, am I interrupting something. I can come back later if…" He said turning around and tapping his foot.
"Okay, that's enough time." He said turning around. However the two's position hadn't changed at all, much to Vaike's frustration. "Whatever. Adam Chrom needs you, there is an ambush of Risen at the village right near here."
Adam nodded and turned to Lissa. "Lissa hold on." Was all the warning he gave her before he picked her up and began running towards Chrom's tent.
"Ahhhhhhh, slow down." Lissa screamed as they charged towards Chrom.
By the time they had made it to Chrom they had managed to get Lissa's staff, which they were now balancing between their bodies as Lissa attempted to hold on with her hands. Adam had his tome between her neck and shoulder, keeping it down with the weight of his head.
"Chrom were here."
The prince turned expecting to see his tactician. While he did, he wasn't expecting to see his sister attached as well. "Um, Adam. I trust you and all, but don't you think your taking this a little fast?" He asked.
"Chrom, I can explain…" The man in question began.
"It was an April Fools prank gone wrong." The sister in question finished.
"Sure." He replied.
"If you don't stop I'll throw up on you. Adam carried me the entire way here, while running, and I'm barely holding it back." Chrom's sister threatened.
"Cheer up." Chrom said. "I was half kidding. But I am half serious." He said with a face of mock seriousness.
Adam and Lissa groaned. "Don't we have a village or something to defend Chrom? I can sort of fight and Lissa can sort of heal, but other than that…"
Chrom nodded the previous teasing in his voice and face gone like candy whenever Gaius was around. "Alright, I'll go with Fredrick and Sumia on ahead. You follow and get any stragglers, and command them form there."
Despite the seriousness of the moment Lissa still had to ask. "Why Sumia?"
Chrom blushed and turned to the brown haired Pegasus knight. "I'll tell you when you're older." With that he ran off towards his lieutenant and girlfriend towards the village.
"Wait! Stupid Chrom." She turned her head towards Adam. "What are you waiting for? Let's go!"
The Ylissean tactician raced of after the Lord and managed to attract the attention of Ricken, Maribelle, Sully, Virion, Miriel and Lon-Qu. Being the wonderful friend they were the decided to make all the the initial joke at their current predicament they could think of.
"Seriously, does no one see the sword?! Why don't one of you come and get stuck then we can make fun of you." Adam defended while Lissa threw in a "Yeah" at what seemed to be random intervals.
They reached the village outskirts and saw Chrom, Sumia and Fredrick in front of the village gate. They were holding them off, but Sumia seemed to be favoring her left arm, presumably since she wounded her right, and Chrom had blood on his forehead. It looked like a Revenant had merely grazed him, but they were severely outnumbered. On the other hand Fredrick was fine, but his weapon seemed to be barely holding together. He would be fist fighting in a few minutes.
The enemy seemed to be composed entirely of Revenant Risen except for a smattering of Sorcerers towards the back. There was a cliff near the forest they seemed to be entering
"Alright. Sully go with Virion to the top of the cliff. Ricken and Miriel, join them. Use your height to take out Risen before they can even reach Chrom. Sully stay close in case anything comes after them."
"T'would be my pleasure to assist the fair ladies in this perilous climb." Virion gallivanted rather flamboyantly as always.
"The steep is only like fifteen feet up." Sully counter.
"Indeed. Based on recordings in my mother's journal, people have scaled mountains at over ten thousand feet. Much more perilous than this little hill. I concur with Sully." Miriel stated.
"But, yes I suppose… Well, you see…" Virion began but was forced to stop when Sully knocked him to the ground.
The tactician turned and saw the rest of the shepherds had arrived. After assigning them to various positions to stop the flow of enemies and give Chrom and Sumia some breathing room, he had Cordelia bring Fredrick a new steel lance.
Then he and Lissa found a Revenant that had strayed from the path of his fellow creatures and Adam using his free and face, opened his Arcthunder tome. He shot a blast at the Risen and it fell in one shot.
Then the soldier, warrior, hero, swordmaster, general and bow knight risen appeared. Maybe Adam could have taken them with both hands, but while protecting Lissa, he didn't have a chance. Stepping out of the shadows the amnesiac realized he had been tricked. "How did I so easily get myself tricked? It was the oldest trick in the book!" he dropped to his knees while Lissa knelt in front of him.
"Adam! Get up! Focus, let's take them." Lissa said yelling at the nearly immobilized man. He didn't respond. "Don't tell me I was out pranked by you! There is no way the great Ylissean tactician would give up so easily!" As the soldier approached the pair Lissa stood up, pulling Adam up and well and charged him. Caught off guard the Risen didn't dodge as the sword attached to the two impaled him.
She looked back to Adam. "Now fight! I'll hit them with my staff if I have to."
He smiled and opened his tome. He shot the bow knight knocking him off his horse and grabbed Lissa. "Ready to run again?"
As Adam ran into the forest carrying Lissa he ran on the path and then abruptly turned and ran behind a tree. Putting his finger to his lips he shushed Lissa. The two heard footsteps and then an odd howl noise.
"Okay it's safe now." The two stepped behind the tree and saw the remaining Risen had fallen into a pitfall. They were trying, unsuccessfully to clamber out.
"How did you know?" Lissa asked.
"Vaike dug this hole in order to trap Chrom and force him into a fight." He explained.
"Thanks, by the way. I couldn't have done that without you." Adam said turning his head away from his best friend's sister.
Lissa smiled, back to her usual bubbly self. "You're welcome." They looked up. There was a clear view of the stars, but it was still night and they had no clue how many more holes Teach had made so they opted to spend the rest of the night in the forest and then make their way back when they could see.
Granted finding a way to sleep decently proved to be a bit challenging. At first they just sat cross legged across from each other waiting for the day to end. Adam's reasoning was simple.
"Until twelve it's still April Fools and I'm not turning my back on you. We still have twenty-five minutes if I'm reading the stars right…"
"Don't!"
"Huh. Don't try and find out what time it is?" Adam asked confused.
"Don't. Don't rub it in. You're amazing. You're an amazing tactician, you rival Chrom in swordplay, and you can use magic better than any other shepherd. You do this with no memory at all! You're learning to be a gentleman with Maribelle, you probably know more about the Manakete and Taguel than any other human from all the time you spend with Nowi and Panne. What can I do?! Heal. That's it. And I don't even do that well. Maribelle does it much better than me. I can't fight, I don't do anything. The only thing I can sort of do is pranking and I couldn't even touch you today. I'm worthless." The princess yelled, getting all her emotions out at once. A lone tear snuck out of her eye and slid down her cheek.
"Don't be ridiculous." Adam said soothingly. He wiped the tear of her cheek with his spare hand and pulled her into a hug. "Don't ever say that. You're not worthless. No one thinks that. You're Lissa, which makes you amazing. You're always so joyful, it never fails to keep our spirits up. You don't see Chrom making me laugh do you."
He chuckled and spoke to the grieving girl once more. "Some people believe that our fate is already written and we can't change that. While I don't believe that I do like one thing they said. They said 'No one is useless. Everyone has their purpose and they excel at it.' I don't think they were wrong and I don't think you're an exception."
"But… sob… I… can't fight. I have to watch… as you fight for me." Lissa half said, half cried into Adam's shoulder.
"That's just it Lissa. You're not suited for war, this bloodshed, this pain, all that crap. That's not you. That's me, and Chrom and Fredrick. You're the hope, the peace. The symbol of why we fight. Your determination. You bought a second seal yourself, and learned magic secretly just to throw mud at me. That's admirable. In its own way. Don't ever forget that. And by the way. Virion has beat me at chess ever game we've played. So calm down. I'm not perfect. No one is. No need to beat yourself up."
They stayed under the tree for the rest of the night. Lissa cried for a few more minutes and when she ran out of tears she fell asleep. Adam just held on to her, mostly by choice, as the sword was still there. Not wanting to wake Lissa he just leaned back and closed his eyes. Lissa continued to sleep peacefully even though she was now on top of him.
Right before he fell asleep he was struck by a thought. Well two thoughts. The first one was that he realized he would do anything to protect Lissa, and two, she was really pretty when she was asleep.
Author's Notes
Me: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. That was by far my longest chapter. Even longer than my longest one-shot Jealousy, Confusing and Chaos. Took me forever to write. Thank you to all those who reviewed and faved and followed. Thanks robintheaspiringtactician for spurring me on when I had writer's block.
Owain: Our deepest and most heartfelt thanks.
Inigo: You're livelier than you were earlier.
Me: yes I wanted to spend some time on how my family would react with my death and I think I did it well, but I'll leave that up to you guys.
Lissa: We miss you. DUH!
Me: I didn't plan on this chapter being so long. I was going to have another part with Chrom back in the real world, but that would have made it too long, so that will be the next chapter. I also planned on having a wyvern scale pillow, an exploding Risen head and a few other ideas that I'll probably use later. All in all I really liked this chapter and how it ended.
Chrom: Kind of reminded me of your Soul Eater one shot at the end.
Me: Chrom! Stop reading through my stuff. Anyways. Thanks for reading, hope you liked it. Ahgh. I'm going to go take a nap.
