Chapter 53.
After that little detour where we met Anna, everyone decided to to continue our way back to Ylisstol, we always made time to rest in My Pokehome as well, not only to take a break, but so the Shepherds could also train in Gaea's Labyrinth.
It was obvious that going Dungeon Crawling in there was helping everyone get stronger way faster than normal, sure, they weren't anywhere close to catching up to the twins and me, but the Shepherds were definitely getting stronger at an amazing pace.
Though, that improvement can also be credited to the fact that everyone is very motivated, the upcoming war is big factor to everyone's motivation to grow stronger it is in everyone's mind after all, so besides going Dungeon Crawling inside the Labyrinth, everyone would either study, train or even learn new skills.
There were plenty of people for the Shepherds to spar and train with as well, the Warrior Bunnies were more than happy to do mock battles with the Shepherds, try different tactics and even teach them some of the way they wage war, Robin learned a lot about tactics with Tyuule this way.
He also spent a lot of time in the Pokémon Center's library as well, wanting to learn and expand his mind as much as possible , though everyone would always keep an eye on him to make sure he ate and slept.
Thankfully, the time dilation in the Pokémon Center became very beneficial to him, when everyone would stay in My Pokémon, we would do so for days, even weeks an continued marching back to Ylisse for a day, that increased training time in preparation for the war.
One day, as we were in Gaea's Labyrinth where the Shepherds were trying their first battle against a Fortress and facing their first boss, Robin suddenly evolved, or rather his class did, the battle against the boss wasn't going well at first.
Robin's tactics for the boss, didn't go too well, the Hobgoblin General turned out to be pretty cunning, and figured out Snyder tactics used against him rather quickly, so he was able to organized the Goblins he Lord over and fought back with his own tactics.
The Shepherds were losing and the pressure was getting to Robin who was stressing over how the battle was going, that's when he suddenly began glowing with a bright golden light and them a burst of lightning exploded from his body.
The blast not only pushed the Goblins back, but actually blinded them for a second as well, when the light subsided and Robin was revealed to everyone, we all noticed right away how Robin's clothes and even his power had drastically transformed.
He was no longer a normal Tactician, but a Grandmaster, his stats had improved by a lot and his demeanor changed as well, he immediately began to shout orders, organize the Shepherds and fight back against the Goblins.
He himself fought the Hobgoblin General and actually beat him, it was a tough battle for Robin, he didn't win easily and he had gotten very hurt in the battle, but he had won in the end, the Shepherds had won against their first Fortress and monster boss in Gaea's Labyrinth.
No one celebrated though, the battle had been a mess, they won sure but the Shepherds had taken a beating, not only physically, but morally as well, that day, when everyone got out of the Labyrinth, they did so quietly and introspective of everything that happen.
Emmeryn, who had been waiting for everyone outside the Labyrinth noticed and looked on worried as everyone walked over to the Pokémon Center in silence.
I soon walked over and stood right besides Emmeryn, the Exalt turned her had towards me and quickly asked me about everyone "Rean... what happened? everyone looks...".
"Defeated?" Emmeryn nodded at me, while staring into my eyes with worry, after I had finished her sentence.
It wasn't hard to do so though, everyone's mood was clear to anyone who could see their first Fortress battle, it didn't go as smoothly as they were expecting, they won, sure but they know it was a close thing and that bothered them.
War is coming, they know that, so they're trying to prepare, to get ready as best as they can, this battle pretty much told them they aren't ready "... they're being stressed by the difficulty they just had during the boss battle in the Labyrinth".
Emmeryn frowned, she was obviously worried sboyt everyone, a lot actually, so I gave her a smile to calm her down a bit "don't worry Emmeryn, this is a good thing".
Emmeryn looked up and stared at me in confusion "... how come? moral is low, wouldn't be bad if they get discouraged?".
I shook my head "no, they won't, the Shepherds had been winning a lot lately, especially with me, the twins and the Pokémon around, plus, they've only have been taking care of Bandits and the like for a long while now.
Those kinds of enemies are hardly any challenge to them, war is an entire different beast, and they're beginning to see and understand that, Chrom and the other will stand up again, soon enough.
The funny thing about all of this, is that the average Goblin in Gaea's Labyrinth, is at least five times stronger than a regular soldier, a Hobgoblin, especially a General like the boss that Robin defeated, is at least times stronger than a regular soldier.
Everyone is fighting Supernatural beings of power far beyond anything in this world is capable of producing and yet, they're comparing them to the sort of enemies they'll face in the war against Plegia.
They still haven't figured out, just how strong they're getting, Robin's class evolved today, without a Master Seal at that and he hasn't realized that yet, he's so worried about the Shepherds performance in the Labyrinth, that he can't see, that the Shepherds are becoming a force far beyond anything Plegia can throw at them".
Emmeryn stare at me with a surprised expression on her face "ah... I see... shouldn't we, tell them?".
"No, it's best they continue to think the way they do, for now at least, it will help them grow stronger, the pressure and the training they're doing is helping them along a lot, Robin proved that.
But don't worry, I'll keep an eye on everyone and make sure they rest and take care of themselves, right now the twins will be making sure that they all eat something before they go rest, I'm sure everyone will be thinking about a lot of things tonight, let's see what they decided to do".
Emmeryn nodded and then stared silently as she thought over something, meanwhile we just made our way to the Pokémon Center to join everyone for dinner.
A few days later.
Back in My Pokehome, the Shepherds hadn't stayed idle for long, after that tough battle against the Fortress in the Labyrinth and the Hobgoblin General, and two days after that battle, everyone got together and began to ask me about ways to get stronger.
So, I began to instruct everyone in expending their skill sets, martial arts, magic and weapon skills, these were the things we were focusing on for now, at the moment, we won't be going into Gaea's Labyrinth for a while, not until everyone felt a bit more confident to try another Fortress siege.
The twins helped on this as well, they decided to take charge of Martial arts and weapon skills, while I train everyone in Magic, sure, some weren't as talented with Magic, or physical skills, but we could at least add more options.
Maribelle and Lissa were taught how to use Holy Magic, being the healers of the group, meant that they didn't have any offensive capabilites, nor supporting ones at that.
So they were severally limited in the battle field, sure, their Enchanted clothes and gear made sure they were safe and able to move around to heal anyone who would need it, but other than that, they couldn't do anything else.
So I thought them Spells, like Photon, Ray and Holy Lance, surprisingly, both Lissa and Maribelle learned how to manipulate Holy Magic rather easily and fast, so I even had the chance to teach them some supportive Magic, things like Sharpness, which increases attack, or Protective Field, which increases defence.
For the rest of the Shepherds, I taught them how to properly channel Mana, this way, the Spell Casters of the group, no longer needed to carry and use books for Casting Magic, instead, they can now use Magic Spells without a Focus.
Robin, Ricken and Miriel benefited the most out of this training, I haven't taught them new Spells yet, I rather they focus on mastering how to channel their Mana, the others learned how to channel Mana to boost their physical attributes.
Some like Sumia, Lon'qu and Chrom even learned how to fire energy slashes from their weapons, while learning to channel Mana into their weapons, the twins taught them Weapon Skills and Martial Arts as well, everyone learned something from them.
Eventually, even the Pokémon began to help teach the Shepherds, Mew even taught the Spell Casters how to use Telekinesis, the Fighting Type Pokémon taught different styles adding on to what the Twins were teaching them.
Each Pokémon taught and showed them different methods to battle to everyone in the Shepherds, things like Dragon Type Pokémon teaching them how use their instincts and react better.
Or Bug Type Pokémon taught them to be stealthy and how to move around quietly, Meditation and critical thinking was taught by the Psychic Type Pokémon, and so on and on, everyone in my Pokéhome helped the Shepherds improve, learn new things and become over all, better fighters.
That's how days passed inside My Pokéhome, while only three days passed by as we made our way back to Ylisstol outside, by the time we arrived back to the Castle, the Shepherds were already far more powerful and skillfully than ever.
Grandmaster Robin was the strongest of them all so far, but when everyone finally manages to evolve, we'll see how stronger they get, I for one can't wait to see how these far more powerful Shepherds do in the upcoming war.
The day we arrived back in the castle things got pretty chaotic right away, Emmeryn announced that war with Plegia had been declared and everyone in the castle began to prepare for it, war counsel was called on and numerous meetings took place.
I was called to a few too actually, my job is to provide food, weapons and back up if needed during the war, something I was fine with providing, I did promise Emmeryn that I would help with anything after all, of course, the Shepherds will be at the forefront of the war.
We will be involved in anything and everything, Chrom and Robin are practically in charge of the entire Ylissean army now, a job that was both staggering and unnerving to the both of them.
Eventually, night arrived and the meetings were finally called off for the day, Chrom, Robin and I decided to walk back together to the Shepherds base, to gather everyone and go to My Pokéhome to rest for the day.
Along the way, while we were still inside the castle grounds, Chrom suddenly stopped and looked up to the starlit night sky, both Robin and I stopped as well and turned around to face him, while he sighed.
Robin frowned as he grew concern for our friend "Chrom? are you okay?".
"Yeah, that was a really loud sigh" it really was too, it made me wonder what's on his mind right now.
Chrom looked over to us and gave us a tired smiled "just... dueling with some unpleasant thoughts... tomorrow we march back to Regna Ferox to request additional soldiers.
But there's something all of you should know first... not everything Gangrel said was a lie, the last Exalt, my father, waged war on Plegia for many years.
The violence... it was a brutal campaign, ending only with his death fifteen years ago, Plegia rightfully remembers their suffering, but his war was no kinder to his own people.
As the fighting dragged on, our army became more and more diminished, farmers who could barely wielded a pitchfork, were conscripted and sent to their deaths, soon there was no food at all, and the Kingdowm began to collapse.
I was young, but I remember those dark times... I know how they affected Emmeryn".
Robin and I frowned, I knew all of this already of course, which is why, I'm not as harsh as I usually I'm with Emmeryn, she has a good reason to be as pacifist as she is, she had been marked by war before and anyone in her shoes would be affected by it.
Robin seemed to agreed and his next words said as such "such an experience would change anyone".
Chrom nodded and then continued to speak his thoughts "indeed when our father died before her tenth birthday, he left her quite the legacy... Plegia's desire for vengance... our own people's unbridled rage... my sister became a target for blame from all sides.
Her own subjects began to hurls insults-- and stones, she still bears the scar from one... but she never let them see her pain, only Lissa and I understood".
"I see... she became a scapegoat to everyone's pain, anger and sorrow, she took it all with a smile on her face in hopes of bringing some solace to everyone...".
Robin sighed and scratched his head "it must have been so hard...".
Chrom nodded to the both us and then said "I cannot claim to know how she does it, guys, I could never greet such hostility with warmth and patience.
While our people mocked and vilified her, she reached out and heal them, she brought soldiers home to their families, she ended the war and when Ylisse's spirit was mended and the people 'forgave' her?... she never resented them for it.
She represents the best of the halidom-- the past most worth protecting, she is peace, but some men take advantage of that, men like King Gangrel, the day he understands peace will be the day death gives it to him... so perhaps I must be death's agent.
Emmeryn would never order him killed nor would I wish her to".
I frowned "well, I never really intended to spare Gangrel, I'm very well aware of how Emmeryn operates, she reminds me of one of my girlfriends, kind, sweet and understandable to a high degree, she learned from all of us in our family.
That not everyone deserves understanding nor forgiveness, in life, there's just some people who don't deserve such things, much less a second chance, I'm sure all of you have noticed, how brutal and merciless, the twins, the Pokémon and I are".
Both Chrom and Robin nodded but didn't say anything, I smiled and then shrugged "we are like that, because we don't want to be responsible for anything someone like Gangrel would do after we defeated them once and let them go, especially because they're cowards and wouldn't hesitate to do anything to get back at you.
Next time they get up to doing their evil deeds, they might actually go after someone you love, and I rather not take that chance, that's something Emmeryn lacks, it's not a bad thing mind you, life needs good people like her around.
But that just means, someone else has to take the burden, do not worry Chrom, I understand and your not alone in this, I'm on your side".
Robin nodded "as I am as well".
Chrom smiled at us and seemed very thankful right now, suddenly someone spoke up to us, I smiled knowing who it was, I had sense Lucina arrived to the area and stay hidden, while listening to our conversation, it seems like she finally decided to speak up, good thing too, because I had also sense multiple people arrive around the area via some kind of teleportation.
Lucina stepped out of the darkness around the walls of the castle and said "well spoken, everyone".
Chrom and Robin, obviously jumped in surprise, after all, they both didn't expect someone to actually appear in the castle and sneak up on them, though, they both soon relaxed when they saw it was Lucina who had spoken, Chrom stared at her for a few seconds before calling out her alias in confusion "Marth...".
Lucina stepped forward and stared at her father, her emotions were once again, all over the place, but sadness was the one that was upfront of them all "good evening to you three".
Chrom, heard and the melancholy in Lucina's demeanor and voice, but at the moment, he had far more important things to ask about "how did you get in here?".
Lucina looked up and seemed to be reminiscing for a bit, she then began to explain a bit while seemingly lost in her own thoughts "that cleft in the castle wall, behind the maple grove".
Chrom looked perplexed, in fact he was very much confused "there? but how would you...? ugh".
Robin seemed interested now, so he asked Chrom about what Lucina was talking about "you know the place, Chrom?".
Chrom looked down in silence, but soon smiled and then chuckle as he thought about the place Lucina just mentioned "yes, I bashed in part of the wall while training the Shepherds, its only a small hole, and I'd thought it well concealed, but...".
I chuckled and shook my head on amusement "I swear, you, Lissa and Emmeryn are a bunch of troublemakers, what a crazy royal family all of you are".
Chrom and Lucina sweatdropped at my comment, Chrom, because he knows full well how crazy his sisters can be and how may things he destroys while training, Lucina because, well, that's her family I'm talking about and she knows full well how nuts they can be.
Robin grinned and seemed to be enjoying the burn I gave to Chrom and his family, Chrom huffed and shook his head "I don't want to hear that from you Rean, your practically a King and your not normal in any sense of the word".
"Hah! have never claimed to be normal Chrom!".
Robin finally laughed, while Chrom gave me the driest deadpan I had ever received, a few moments later he sighed and turned his attention back to Lucina, she looked confused as all hell, but she still had enough wits on her to say "err.. your secret is safe with me, I came here only to warn you".
Chrom raised an eyebrow at Lucina "warn us?".
Lucina nodded and began to futher explain "the Exalt's life is in danger".
Chrom looked shocked at the warning "what, Emmeryn? that's absurd, she's guarded at all hours".
And she is, she's always surrounded by guards and knights, honestly, I don't even know how she goes to the bathroom in peace like this, either way, even with all those guards, Lucina was well aware that Emmeryn isn't safe right now.
After all, she comes from the future, so she knows of events to come, this is the reason I'm not doing anything to overt yet, who knows the effect my actions will have in this timeline, I could make things worse if I try to do anything crazy, like blasting Plegia from the face of the planet, or downright murder Gangrel.
Somethings have to happen, because if they don't, the good things that occurred might not happen and that's not good, because there's still a lot of things that will happen in the future and we need those good things to happen still.
But, convincing Chrom of her warning is going to be difficult enough as it, especially because, she doesn't want to reveal that she's Chrom's daughter from the future, so Lucina had to come up with a way to explain her warning in some way "what if... what if I told you I have seen the future? would you believe me?.
A future where Emmeryn is killed, here, tonight".
Chrom stared at Lucina with wide eyes full of shock and uncertainty "seen the future?...".
Lucina sadly frowned and looked down "yes, I expected you wouldn't believe...".
Chrom calmed down when he saw Lucina looked sad and disappointed, he then gazed in my direction before speaking his mind "... I would have had a hard time believing, but... recently, I've seen a lot of amazing things, things that no one would easily believe.
So, yes, I believe you Marth, if you say that you've seen the future then I'll take your warning seriously"
Lucina looked up and gaped at her father in surprise, Chrom then turned his head towards Robin and nodded at him, Robin grinned and then spoked to me "Rean, if you would?".
"You don't even havet o ask, give me a second".
As this was happening, Lucina looked on confused at to what was going on right now, I snapped my fingers and a Magical Hologram of the Mini map appeared in front of Robin, he took a look as frowned as he saw enemy units moving about the Castle's surroundings.
Robin's eyes suddenly widen when he saw an enemy close by and he immediately turned around towards Chrom "Chrom! on your six!".
Chrom immediately reacted along with Lucina, who knew what was going to happen, she threw her Falchion into the air and then jumped after it, while Chrom drew his Falchion out and blurred out of sight.
The enemy rushed out of the bushes behind Chrom and rushed forward, only to stop when he saw Robin glaring at him and me waving at him goodbye, he didn't realized his end was near until it was to late, Chrom suddenly appeared in front of him and slashed his chest open in a split second.
Meanwhile, Lucina grabbed her Falchion in mid air and came down hard towards the enemy's back, cutting it open as she landed on the ground behind the enemy, who didn't even get to scream and just dropped dead on the ground.
Chrom narrowed his eyes and then nodded "I see... so Marth's warning did indeed come true".
Lucina looked very confused, first, her father moved so fast, she wasn't able to see him attack until he had already cut down his assailant, she had never seen him move like that before, that and she didn't even know what Rean had done to show them where the enemy was.
She was so out of it from what she had seen happened that she didn't hear or see the second enemy jumped out of the bushes and was attacked, but I quickly moved and pulled her out of the way, however, the mask she had been wearing to hide her face was sent flying off her face by my pull and sent crashing towards to the ground were it shattered.
But I ignore that and then waved a hand towards the enemy that just tried to kill Lucina, a Sludge Bomb attack flew towards the enemy at high speed and slammed into his chest, the impact sent him flying back, but the Poison Type attack melted his body before it could even hit the ground.
Chrom stared at Lucina in surprise, now that she didn't have her mask on anymore, her face was revealed to everyone "wait, your- your a woman?".
Lucina turned her head towards Chrom and gave her father a small nervous smile "and quite the actress, too, honestly, I'm surprised you didn't figure it out until now, though someone else did...".
Lucina turned her head towards me and gave me a look, Chrom and Robin did so as well, I just shrugged though "well, no man can have curves like that you know? plus I have highten senses, I can tell a woman and man apart by smell alone".
Lucina blushed and seemed nervous now, she even took a little sniff at her sleeves trying to find out if she smelled bad or something, Chrom chuckled, while Robin sighed and shook his head, he then began to speak about the enemies "that last assassin, appeared in the Mini Map out of nowhere Rean, what does that mean?".
"That means, they're teleporting to this location from somewhere else, you told me Teleportation Magic takes considerable amount of preparation and resources right?".
Robin nodded "all of that and a Massive amount of Magical energy... which means, that whoever is attacking, has been planning all of this for a while".
Everyone's frowned, until an explosion rocked the castle, Robin immediately looked at the Mini Map and frowned "the enemy made it inside! and there's more teleporting around the area outside the Castle as well!"
Chrom huffed in annoyance "damn it all... everyone is back at the Shepherds base... it's going to take them a while to arrive and help with the attack!".
Everyone looked worried now, but I just smiled and said "well, we can have Mew Teleport everyone here in a split second or...".
Chrom raised an eyebrow at me and then asked "or?".
I grinned and then said "let some of my Pokémon come out and have some fun".
Chrom and Robin maliciously smiled, while Lucina stared at the three of us completely confused at what we were planning of doing.
Meanwhile, just outside a destroyed wall in the castle, and completely unaware about what was about to befall them, a Dark Mage darkly chuckled as he began to order an assassin nearby "remember, Validar wants the Emblem in his hand and Emmeryn dead on the floor, let nothing distract you from either purpose".
The Assassin nodded "as you will it".
A Thief narrowed his eyes and frowned as he overheard the conversation the Dark Mage had with the Assassin, not happy with what he heard he began to loudly speak to himself "whoa, whoa, did I just hear that right? we're to kill the Exalt? I'm just here for the plunder, you know? line my pockets with some royal goods.
The Exalt's such a sweet lady... sure, I'll rob her blind, but I'd never harm her!" the Thief didn't know it, but this small conversation he had with himself, probably saved his life, for a small green Pokémon heard him and giggled as she floated away to wait for orders.
A few moments later.
In Emmeryn's chambers, the poor Exalt had awaken by the sudden explosion that rocked the castle, Emmeryn immediately jumped out of bed and was about to go out of her room to see what was happening.
However, her chamber's door was blasted open by a Dark Spell, Emmeryn quickly used her Mana to create a Magic barrier, something she learned from Rean one time he was training the Shepherds, the barrier protected her from the explosion.
But she soon gasped when a group of Assassins and Dark Mages ran into her room ready to kill her, however, Emmeryn's shadow suddenly stirred and grew from underneath her feet, Giratina came out of her shadow soon after and roared at the enemies that had dared show themselves here.
The Assassins and Dark Mages froze in shock and fear as they saw the Ghost and Dragon Type Legendary Pokémon looking down at them with her glowing red eyes, until she suddenly opened her jaws and fired a point blank Dragon Pulse at the enemies.
A big explosion once again rocked the castle, this time however, the enemies were the victims of it, the Assassins and Dark Mages only had time to scream before they were obliterated by Giratina's Dragon Pulse.
Emmeryn sighed and then smiled at Giratina, she then patted the Legendary Pokémon's side and gave her a nod "thank you Giratina, you saved my life just now".
Giratina softly growled and allowed Emmeryn to pet her, she could feel that Emmeryn was tense and quite worried, so she let Emmeryn calm herself by being around her.
Chrom suddenly came running into Emmeryn's chambers, with Robin, Lucina and I following right after, Chrom being worried for his sister immediately called out to her "Emm!".
Emmeryn quickly turned he head towards her bother "Chrom? are you okay?".
Chrom nodded "we're fine, but what about you?".
Emmeryn smiled and then patted Giratina in her snout "Giratina here saved my life, so I'm fine, but what's going on?".
Lucina was gaping at Giratina, while the Legendary Pokémon floated to me and I gently caressed her face "thanks Giratina, I'm glad I sent you ahead, everything good?"
Giratina gave me a nod, meanwhile Robin began to explain the situation "the castle is under attack, luckily, Rean summoned some of his Pokémon to help, they're all moving around in the castle and taking down the enemy, so it's best we stay here and keep an eye on the situation".
Chrom nodded in agreement to Robin's words "yes, with the Pokémon fighting out there, it would be too dangerous to move around the castle right now".
Emmeryn smiled and then turned her head towards me "thanks you Rean, looks like I'm in your debt again".
I shook my head and then gave her a smile on my own "I'm just glad to help, but if you want to help someone, you should thank Marth, she was the one who warned us about the attack".
Emmeryn, Chrom and Robin turned to look at Lucina, however, she was too busy right now to noticed she had everyone's attention on her, right now she was slowly inching closer and closer to Giratina, while reaching a hand to pet her.
Giratina turned to look at her, when she got closer to the Legendary Pokémon and stared at her, Lucina froze and began to nervously sweat thinking she had made Giratina mad or something.
The whole thing made me chuckled, which grabbed Lucina's attention, so I explained right away "Giratina is staring at you intensely because she's trying to make you hurry up and pet her".
Lucina blinked but soon realized what I said, so she quickly began to pet Giratina, who softly growled in glee, I just smiled at the scene and then turned my head towards Emmeryn "we should stay in here and wait for the Pokémon to clear the castle, we'll defend you till then".
Emmeryn nodded understanding the plan, meanwhile Robin looked at the Mini Map, since I hadn't dispelled it yet "the enemy is numerous, but they should scatter if the leader is defeated".
I nodded "good, they brought a lot of reinforcements with them as well, looks like they didn't intent to stop at Emmeryn's death".
Lucina turned her head towards us and began to speak while not stopping giving Giratina affection "they're planning to kill the royal family and steal the Fire Emblem".
"I see, it's too bad they're not getting anything they want then" the group nodded and then we all waited inside Emmeryn's room, while some of my Pokémon began to move inside the Castle, all the while killing off any enemy they can find.
Celebi floated around the halls of the Castle and placed every injured and killed Ylissean soldier in a Time Stasis so her master can heal them and bring them back to life if necessary, the enemy really did a number on the soldiers of the castle and even Celebi felt bad for them.
So, when she found the enemies, she showed them no mercy, the Assassins that had been caught by the Grass and Psychic Legendary Pokémon, were twisted apart by her Psychic attack in a split second, leaving only puddles of blood and innards in the floor.
The Dark Mages saw this and immediately attacked Celebi with their dark magic not even caring about what sort of creature she is, but Celebi just waved her arms forward and fired a Leaf Storm at the Dark Mages.
The dark magic spellsncoming towards Celebi crashed against her Leaf Storm attack, the Grass Type destroyed the spella in an instant and continued traveling towards the Dark Mages, a second later they were hit and sliced to pieces by the powerful Grass Type attack.
Celebi twirled in mid air and then floated away, only to stop a second later when she found, the Thief that she had overheard speaking to himself, the Thief was gaping and looking mighty afraid of Celebi, after all, he had seen what Celebi had done to the Dark Mages and Assassins.
Celebi tilted her head at the Thief and then pointed at the sack being carried by the him, he immediately tense up and raised his hands in surrender "wait, wait wait! don't kill me, please!".
And done.
There we go, we had a full chapter today, first Rean and the Shepherds are still training, however the Shepherds tried going up against a Labyrinth's Fortress and it's monster boss, given how difficult it was for Kaede to clear one at first.
It's not a surprise the Shepherds had a really hard time dealing with it as well, it was only because Robin evolved from a Tactician to a Grandmaster that tehuw ere able to eventually win.
However, the Shepherds morale and confidence took a bit of a hit for a day, but they bounced back and started to train with Rean, the Twins and the Pokémon to expand their skill set!.
Then we had Lucina appearing again and warning everyone of an upcoming attempt to kill Emmeryn, however, Rean and some his Pokémon will be dealing with the attackers!.
But that's it for tonight everyone, this Old Black Fox is going to go to sleep and rest, so goodnight and see you all later!.
