"Thanks Big Bro"Lissa felt to the ground

"Milady please don't lay down on a dirty ground please. Here let me settle you a ground cloth for you."Frederick said as he took a cloth out of his bag

"But Fred I like to lay on the grass!"the blond girl whined

"Hell no! I'm not going to eat bear meat!"Lissa complained

"Lissa do you know how much work I had to kill this bear? So we could have meat."

"Yes you worked really hard to killed it one swing with out it even noticing "

"Yes!You know how hard it is , for me , be stealth. With all my muscles."Chrom said flexing his 'muscles'

"Right, I forgot about all the times you got caught peeping on the girls !"Lissa mocked her Red Faced brother

"Lissa shut up!"

*Chomp Chomp Chomp Burp*Robin finished his meat"Hey Fred aren't you going to eat yours?"he asked as he saw Frederick's meat untouched

"No. Bear meat doesn't has a lot of nutricional value."

"Sorry, Lis. I didn't mean to wake you,but... Something is amiss"

"Define something. It must be really something for you to wake me. I was in the middle of a dream,where me and Maribelle were having a tea party."

*Sigh*"I'm not sure. I think I will look around."Chrom stood up"Stay here."

"Alone? Nope, I'm going with you."Lissa complained

*Sigh*"Fine but run back here in case of danger and get Fred and Robin."

"All right."

Chrom and Lissa have being looking around for anything weird but so far have found nothing

"It's sure is dark...And quiet. Where did the birds go?"Lissa asked

"Something is wrong here."as soon as Chrom said that a earthquake happened"Gods, what- What is this madness?! Lissa stay close!"

*Brum Brum Brum*somethig was balancing the trees coming towards the two of them

"Lissa run."Chrom ordered

"Hã?"Lissa was paralized

"I mean it go!"the blue haired man then shoved her to start two of them ran at max speed as the ground behind them began to open and started to come out of the was running with out a direction just trying to get away from the lava"Hey this way!"Chrom appered by her left trying to guide her back to the ran for about ten minutes until they felt they were safe.

4:44

"Chrom what is that?!"Lissa shouted as she saw something in the sky.

At exactly 4:44 something made out of light began to form in the sky, and a portal surround by the twelve zodiac signes appered in the middle of it.

"I don't know. But it don't seens to be good news."Chrom said looking at it.

*Groan*some humanoid things began to come out of the portal and fell heads first to the ground.*Groan*the things them started to get up and stare at the two

"Lissa. You better stand back."Chrom ordered as he drew his sword

*Groan*the things then began to run towards the Ylissean prince and one with a one that was going to attack Chrom jumped in the air to strike him down with a axe to Chrom avoid it and slice his sword through it's body.

"Huh?"Chrom notice that the thing didn't die and when he looked it had it's head in the oposite direction that it shoud be,staring at him with black eyes with red iris and no thing then tryed to attack Chrom again with it's axe but Chrom got over his shock and blocked the resisted for a second until he kicked it, knocking him down facing the ground."Haah!"Chorm channeled some mana to his sword making it leave blue light tracks where the blades then jumped and stabed the thing in the it desappear"Huh,They are weak to mana."Chrom said as he was getting his breath back

"Aaahhh!"Lissa screamed as she was cornered by one of those things against a tree

"Lissa!"Chrom saw it, and began to run to rescue her.(Damn it I won't get it in time!)he the thing lifted it's axe to kill the young cleric another thing passed through the portal,at it felt to the ground it began to run towards Lissa and the thing as it passed by Chorm at a incredible only saw a blue the thing swang it's axe down Lissa closed her after a second she reopened them to see what it looked to be a masked blue haired boy blocking the axe.

"Huh?!"Chorm got confused , as he saw the blue haired boy save his sister

"Help!"the blue haired boy shouted at Chrom

"Huh?Right!"Chorm then began to run towards the creature channeling mana through his sword.

*Groan*the creature stoped forcing his axe aginst the boys block to look at this as an oportunity the mysterious boy channeled mana through his sword as well and in a synchronized swing,both blue haired boy slashed the thing out of exitence.

"Huh."Lissa was paralized. She almost died, by what she would describe was a she was saved by a stranger

"Quite an entrance."said Chrom to the boy that was guarding his sword."What's your name?"he asked but he got no response

"Milordy! Milady ! Are you hurt?"Frederick joined them along side Robin

"Frederick, Robin!"Lissa screamed running towards the two

"Are such horrific creatures common place in these lands?"Robin asked he saw more creatures coming towards them

"They are not from Ylisse , I promise you that"

"No one is injured, then? Thank the gods..."

"Thank the masked boy who saved me! If it wasn't for him , I'd be..."Lissa said as she went to face her savior only to see no one

"Hey where did he go?"

"We can worry about him later, AFTER we put these...things... to the blade."Fred said as he looked at the monsters"Eyes open know nothing about this enemy."

"Watch out I was only able to kill them using mana channeled attacks."Chrom informed his commarades

"Right"said everyone

"They also came out of that portal in the sky."Chrom pointed at the portal which closed as soon as he finished his sentence

"Well now it's close so one less thing to worry about"said Robin

"Robin got your weapons?"Chrom asked

" you for convincing me to accepet them when the Southtown people offered them to me"Robin said as he draw a bronze sword and a Thunder tome. The battle field was a burning down forest,Robin counted eight of those things seven looked like grays skinned humans but one of them was more monster like. It was bulkier , weared a mask and had a red short axe as a weapon.

"This is going to be tough"said Chrom

"Hey Chrom are those forts?"Robin asked as he saw the constructions on the middle of the forest

"Yes. They were build during a war."

"We could use them as refugie if any of us get in danger."

"Good ideia."responded Chrom."Got any others?"

"How tough are they?"

"Really strong."

"Do you think Frederick can take one of them alone?"

"Yes. Fred is stronger then me."

"Ok so Fred go take one of those things on your own. Chrom and I will engage one our selfs. Lissa stay back and heal us if we got injured."

"Understood."said the royal

"Milord you can't be serious. Are you going to follow this plegian's plan again?"Frederick questionated

"Yes and you better get ready yours is coming for you."Chrom alerted Frederick, and thanks to his reflexes he was able to block the thing sword attack."Remeber only mana can kill those things!"

"Oh if only I was on my horse!"Fred shouted as he blocked another swing from the thing sword.

*Groan*The thing swang his sword again and Fred blocked with out any problemn. But this time it keept excercing force on the sword

"You anoying."Fred then kicked the thing in it's stomach making it fly into a tree, passing right through it and stoping on the next one.

*Groan*the thing did one last groan before it got stabed by Fred's mana channeled silver lance in the chest

Chrom and Robin on the other hand were fighting one with an axe that seemed to be a fighter,Robin swang his bronze sword against the thing only to be blocked by it's axe."Heh. Chrom!"Robin shouted and a the thing was with out a way to defend it's self Chrom came running with his attack

"NoonTime!"Chrom shouted as he and his now glowing yellow sword sliced the fighter in a feel seconds later"Simple but good plan Robin. I like it"

"I feel flerted but if Fred took his down. We still have six of this things to 's go to the fort another one is coming here"

" come with us!"

"Ok!"Lissa went to join the then they went to the old fort guard them selfs from one of those things attack

"Chorm what is NoonTime?"Robin asked

"Oh it's an combat consumed some mana but it recover the user's energy and heal wounds"explained Chrom

"Later can you expalin to me more about those?"

"Sure"

*Groan*two of those things passed by the fort

"Captain Chrom! Wait I'm coming!" a female voice shouted

"It can't be. Sully? What is she doing here?"Chrom asked"How she knows we are here in the first place?"

"Maybe one of those pegasus knight I saw flying today saw us and inform where we were."Lissa thorized

"Yes. And since this earthquake happened in the same place as two royal family members were last spoted is only natural they would send someone to check things up"Robin explained his theory

"Makes let's go help her!"Chorm got out of the fort and ran towards Sully.

"All right, you ash-faced freaks! Which one of ya want to try my lance on for size first?"the red headed woman identified as Sully,wearing red armor on top of a horse ,appearing to have the same age as Frederick ,holding a bronze lance announced to the things that began to run towards her

"I know just the spot for it: shoved right up your-"

"Hold, milady!"a long light blued haired man that seemed to be the same age as her with a bow and arrow appeared

"Muh?"Sully stoped paying attention to the things running towards her to look at the light blue haired man

"Life may be long, but attraction is fleeting! Would you leave me in your sweet dust? Leave war to the warriors, dear bird!A beauty such as you need wage only love."

" ...The hell are you?"Sully asked confused

"Ha! Is the lady intrigued? Of course you are—it's only natural. I am myth and legend! I am he who strides large across history's greatest stage! The man who puts the "arch" in "archer"! My name, dear lady, is Vi—"

"Sorry, Ruffles—no time for this. Onward!"Sully interrupted the man as she saw that Chrom and a guy she never saw before were fightig the two things that were runnig towards she.

"Virion! ...Er, my name. It's Virion. W-wait! Where are you going? Pray, at least tell me your name!"The man that was now know as Virion shouted as the lady ran away.

*Sigh*"Hold on there captain!"Sully then returned to the man"I'm Sully. ...And I'm a Shepherd."She said getting ready to go back

"'Sully'! How divine! A starkly beautiful name, as befits its owner, truly. Will you marry me, my dearest Sully?"Virion proposed to her , just after knowing her name, not knowing what he got him self into

"Will I what now? Oh wait, I get it... This is a joke. And when I put my boot through your face—that's the punch line"Sully shouted at the annoying man

"I realize my manly figure and noble bearing can be overwhelming. 'Tis common! So please, don't feel pressured to answer right a—"

"How's THIS for an answer?!"Sully kicked Viron away

" OOF! G-goodness, but those shapely legs certainly can kick, can't they... P-please, milady!Allow me to accompany you, at least! Mine is a cold, empty world without you.I shall be your most willing servant, and you, in turn, will give my life purpose..."Virion declaring his love for this stranger that he just met

*Sigh*Sully signed"Fine... Anything to shut you up."Sully then got ready to help her captain But then she noticed Virion staring at her"...What? Stop staring at me like that!"she said before entering battle

"Grrr Sully why did you took so long?!"Chorm complained as he was fighting one fo those things , blocking blow after blow

"Sorry captain I-"

"Tell me later go help Robin there!"Chrom then pointed with his head at the black cloaked boy strugeling against his oponent

"Roger that!"Sully then ran towards Robin and the creature and impaled the thing in the head with her lance draging it to a tree"Suprise yo a-"Sully then got in shock"You alive?!"she screamed

"They can only be killed with mana! Channel some into your lance!"Robin shouted trying to get his breath back

"Wha? But I suck at mana control!"

"Don't worry milady I got this."Virion announced a few meters away from them with his bow and arrow ready to shoot"Feel honor to die by me" Virion's arrow then glew blue and he shooted arrow towards the creatures head leaving a blue string like trail of light behind

*Groan*the thing got it exactly in the middle of the head and vanished on contact

"Bulls Eye."self vanglorised Virion

"Good you got yours as well"said Chorm joining them along side Frederick and Lissa

"Hey Robin let me heal you."Lissa said as she pointed her staff at Robin and a green light began to come out of it and go straight into Robin

"Thanks Lissa. So Chrom I assume you got yours. Fred what about you?"Robin asked

"Three, and I assisted milord in killing his last one."

"Good that make a total of six. So only two left"stated Robin and as he did that a arrow passed by him almost gettig his head.

"Great,one of the two things left is an archer."said Chrom

"And it almost got me. Let's go back to the fort."commanded now six people went running to the fort to get they ran the archer made it rain arrows at Sully was the only one in a horse she got there first.

"Virion right? Can you pin point his location and kill it?"Robin asked as he avoided an arrow to the knee

"Of course,I'm an elite archer,the best in I would need to stop and that I would rather not do right I will be killed."

"When we get to the fort?Wow that was close!"Robin shouted as an arrow cut some of his hair. Luckly not hurting a few seconds and lots of arrows they all arrived at the fort."Ok Virion try to get that can you give us energy? I think that the leader is going to be the toughst of them."

"Right."Lissa then began to heal everyone

"Consider it done."said Virion going to the high part of the fort

"Tell us when you get it!"asked Chorm to the other blue haired man.

Five minutes later...

"Everyone."Virion came back down

"So you got it?"Chrom asked

"Unfortunally no. He hasn't shot a single arrow ever since we entered the fort."Virion explained

"Hmm... We will need a bait."said Robin

"Ha! I knew it!"shouted everyone

"You knew what exactly Fred?"asked Chrom

"This is his excuse to kill you or milady Lissa , milord."Frederick stated sweat droping everyone

"Hey,Blu knight.I might not know wha going on but yo crazy. He trying to get tha thing killed not us."Sully told Frederick getting a very angry look from him

"Sully is right Fred.I already told you , if Robin here wanted me and Lissa killed he would had done that in Southtown."

"But milord!"

"No more buts Fred. Now we need to chose a bait."

"Ok then if you really thrust this plegian alow me to be the an form of apology."

"Fred you don't have to-"

"Great ideia! Those coomoner arrows won't even leave a scratch in your armor."Virion interrupted Chrom

"Archer. Never . I mean ever interrupt Milord Chrom ever again!"threated Frederick

"My my."

"Fred stop threatening everyone who don't treat me or Lissa like a god."Chrom asked Frederick,not being the first time he asks that

"Can we get this done already. I was suppose to make breakfast today."Sully said making Chrom , Lissa and Fred a little green

"Ok. Fred go to the front of the fort and watch out for your head. Virion be quick."Robin commanded and Fred went to the front of the fort and Virion went back soon Fred stept out side the fort arrows bagen to rain over him.

"Why did I agree with this?"Fred asked him self covered his head with his arms to avoid getting hit there

"Where, where, there!"Virion put a arrow to his bow and aimed at where the archer was,he channeled some mana through the arrow and released

*Groan*a groaned was heard and the rain of arrows stoped

"I'm a legend."announced Virion to everyone

"Good now only one of those things left"said Robin.

*GROAN*a loud groaned came from the forest.

"Frederick this must be the back here!"shouted it was a little to late. Fred got jumped by the thig that came out of it wasn't for Frederick's reflexes he would have died by an axe to the he blocked the attack with his lance

"I accept some help!"

"Right. Chorm let's go! Try getting that thing away , so I can cast a thunder at if you get a chance , shoot that thing!"

"Right Robin."Chorm listened to Robin's idea before going to help Fred.

Fred was having dificulty dealing with that thing, he blocked swing after swing of that thing's axe,but he had no open to attack."Hya!"

Chrom came running towards them with his mana enhanced thing kicked Fred away and engaged Chrom it jumped towards Chrom,but the

blue haired swords man avoided the creature and when he did that the monster was face to face with a ball of lighting

*GROAN*the monster groaned in pain as he got electrecuted

"Got ?"Robin noticed that the thing hasn't vanished and instead was staring at him.

*GROAN*The thing dashed towards Robin in a incredible speed.

"Crap!"cursed Chrom"it's to fast!"

"Shi-"Robin closed his eyes as the monster got infront of a second he opened his eyes again only to see an masked blue haired swords man blocking the thing axe.

"Help!"he shouted and Chrom feeling a dejavu went to finished the thing, he jumped and with a mana enhanced stab to the back of the head, the thing vanished

"Thanks again."said Chrom guarding his sword

"..."

"It seen's we dealed with them all"said Chrom

"Big bro! Is it over?"Lissa asked as she came out of the fort along side Sully

" what's your name? I want to properly thank you for saving Robin and my little name is of Ylisse"

"You may call me Marth"the masked man now identified him self

"Marth? After the heroic king of old? You certainly fight like a hero. Where did you learn your way with a sword?"Chrom asked

"You sure are skilled."

"I'm not here to talk about me. This world teeters at the brink of a horrible calamity. What you saw tonight was but a have been warned"Marth warned before walking away

"Wait! What do you mean?! And his gone"said Chorm as he lost sight of Marth

"He's not much of talking it seens"said Robin

"Hey Captain. Sorry to interupt but , wha the hell just happened?!" Sully asked shouted

"To be honest I have no idea."Chrom said falling to the ground."I only know that I want some sleep."he said laying him selfon the ground, and just as he closed his eyes the sun began to rise"Damn it."Chorm groaned"Alright let's get back on track"

"Can't he rest? We just fought a bunch of monster."whined Lissa

"Lissa is right we are all tired"Robin said

"Ok then let's go back to the fort and rest there for about an hour. Then we back on foot."

"Chrom? Right?" Virion called Chorm

"Yes. Virion right?"

"Precisely. Prince Chrom may I join you?"Virion asked

"Hmm. We don't have an archer in the ."

"Much oblage."Virion thanked before going back to the fort

"Hmm.'This world teeters at the brink of a horrible calamity.'Why would he affirm that?"Robin thought about Marth's words

"And why I felt like he had some anger towards me?" With this last thought Robin went to sleep
