BRCTAR21: Thanks for the well wishes my friend, I also wat somework stability for sure, but for now I have to do what I can, either way, I'll keep trying to give you and everyone else the best I can in regards to my stories :) and yes, Lucina certainly deserves happiness, which is why a lot of readers want her in the harem, but we shall see how the Story evolves.
Jack Firerage: Yup, Rean and the Twins are going easy I n the Shepherds, after all, they're regular humans, the can't survive the sort of training Sona and her Peerage got, but even then, with what they're learning they're getting stronger than anything possible in that world.
Gaius was really smart for pulling that "Batman Nope Card" lol, Celebi would have turned him inside out like a sock if he didn't XD.
Aan Syaif: Your very welcome my friend! and thank you, it as hard work, 10 to 11 hours for three days, but it was worth it.
Geneva Convention Article 34: Yeah, Lucina reveal was pretty meh because of everything else going on around them lol, yeah, I just don't have the will and stamina to watch long animes anymore.
I get you bro, I have done dock work as well, filling up trailer containers or empty them in a time a limit, that shit is hard, but we have to do what we have to do, thank for the we'll wishes still, I appreciate it.
generalwd40: It cool, I was just wondering if I made a mistake or something, kinda made me panic a bit, thinking that I made a reference or something in the last chapter.
narutolover69777777: Lol, generally, he's just being nice and understanding :), Giratina is a sweetheart! Chroms family is super nuts, but that's what makes them fun and yes, Gaius is one of the most honorable Thieves ever.
Bearticguy7: Huh, I didn't know Disney made a series about them, that sounds interesting.
shypunk: Your very welcome my friend!.
verma wyrda (Guest): I explained this before, he didn't forget his skill nor what it does, he's more concerned about what he skill is doing to any world he goes to, he's not acting surprised when he hear stuff like "the Grand Star Dragon" but he's wondering what it mean and how it's going to affect him.
CrimsonSylvan: Gaius was so lucky he spoke out loud before Celebi began turning the enemies into bloody pretzels lol, Rean and the Twins are going slowly and more carefully with the Shepherds, they're only human after all, unlike Sona and her Peerage who are Devils, but your right, the Shepherds are increasing in power at a high degree, much more than anyone else can possibly accomplish in the world, they just won't noticed since they're in a war, they probably won't even are either, just like you said.
RogueShadow222: The Time Warp Dance? lol what is that bro? XD and yes, that's what Gaius was doing too.
RT89: An apt description of their improvements lol.
yuzuk1: Your very welcome my friend!.
spellboundfool: Your very welcome my friend and yes, Lucina did exactly that lol, poor Gaius, he practically a whole wall worth of bricks XD.

Chapter 54.
Celebi giggled as she watched the Thief jump and waved his arms around in a panic, however, she wasn't going to kill him, not when she had overheard him say that he wasn't part of the plan to kill Emmeryn, what really had her attention right now, was what the Thief was holding inside that sack of his.
So Celebi pointed at it again, the Thief was of course confused until he realized what Celebi might want, so he brought the sack on his back forward with frown and opened it, Celebi suddenly used Psychic and pulled out a bunch of sweets from inside the sack.
She giggled as she opened a lollipop with her mind and then began to cheerfully eat it, the poor Thief could only stared in sorrow as his precious sweets were stolen from him "... the irony of this situation hurts... a lot".
Celebi smiled and floated down to the Thief and pointed at him, the Thief realized what the creature wanted so, not wanting to give the creature before him a reason to twist him into a pile of flesh and guts, he decided to introduce himself "I'm Gaius... you wouldn't mind letting me go, right? I promise not to cause trouble".
Celebi smiled and suddenly lifted Gaius into the air with Psychic, Gaius yelped in surprise and began to flail around "oh come on! I gave you my sweets! please don't kill me!".
But Celebi giggled and took off flying down the hallways of the castle, with a screaming Gaius trailing behind her and being carried by her Telekinesis.
Meanwhile on the other side of the castle, Assassins and Dark Mages were making their way towards the other side of Emmeryn's room, their orders were to cut off any escape route she might, however, someone was already waiting for them.
A woman with drooped bunny ears and a disgusted frown in her face, the woman glared as she saw the Assassins and Dark Mages "look at all these humans attacking at theur throats like animals... I'll pay my Warren's debt and then wash my hands off of these humans".
The woman was about to raise her hand, which was holding some kind of stone and was about to do something, when the wall besides her opened up revealing a black and white ghostly figure.
The bunny woman flinched and took a step back as far as she could in fear as the creature moved its gaze towards her direction for a second, before moving that scary gaze towards the Dark Mages and Assassins, suddenly a voice spoke up from behind the creature "what? more Assassins?".
The creature narrowed his eyes and then lifted his arms, this caused the woman to tense up and looked very afraid, luckily for her though, someone spoke up "wait! Panne is not your enemy!".
"Darkrai, leave the woman, deal with the Assassins and Dark mages please" another voice immediately gave orders to the creature, who nodded and began to moved forward, while ignoring Panne.
Meanwhile, Lucina and Chrom stepped forward and out the opening on the wall, Lucina sighed in relief seeing that Panne is okay and nodded "thank you Rean".
I stepped out of the room as well and nodded "no problem".
Chrom sighed but then asked a question to Lucina "you know her?".
Lucina nodded "I know... of her, and I knew she would come here tonight".
Chrom nodded "alright, then she's an ally".
Lucina nodded "yes, I swear to you that Panne is an ally".
Chrom gave Lucina a smild and then a nod "I believe you, all right, Rean, how are we doing?".
"Celebi already cleared her area and is moving to the next, she's carrying someone who she thinks will be useful to the Shepherds, a Thief with a good heart, according to what she's feeling right now.
Darkrai will be dealing with this area and he will make sure no enemy makes it close enough to attack us from behind, the others are making their way to their areas as we speak".
Chrom gave me a nod "okay, then we all go and protect Emm in her chamber's, Panne can do her own thing if she wants, let's go!".
Lucina, Chrom and I walked back into Emmeryn's room, meanwhile Darkrai stood in front of the Assassins and Dark Mages, who stood still and afraid of him, his sheer presence was filling them with dread, so much in fact, that they couldn't move, their bodies just refuse to listen to their commands.
The same held true to Panne, her instincts were going wild in the presence of Darkrai, it was so bad, that she couldn't move an inch, it got even worse when she caught sight of the human called Rean, she had to physically forced herself not to jump out of a window and run away as fast and far as possible.
All she could right now, was watch as a wave of pure black darkness shot out of Darkrai's arms and quickly consumed the Dark Mages and Assassins, they didn't even get to scream as they were dead the instant Darkrai's Dark Pulse hit them.
Darkrai then put his arms down and just stood there in silence, waiting and keeping an eye for more enemies, Rean had asked him to keep guard here and that's what he's going to do.
Meanwhile Panne just stood there staring at Darkrai not knowing what to do, but once she got her body under control, she decided to walk over to the entrance that had appeared out of no where and where Chrom, Lucina and Rean had walked out of, to stand guard.
Though she kept an eye on Darkrai, not like the Legendary Dark Type Pokémon cared, he just stood there and when more enemies showed he quickly killed them all.
Meanwhile, a blur moved through the hallways of the castle in high speed, Assassins, Dark Mages, Thieves and the few Barbarians that were storming the castle, were cut to pieces by the blur, which only made the enemy panic, not being able to see who or what was attacking them just caused fear and chaos among the enemy".
In that fear many of the enemies began to run around in fear, until the blur stop between a group of enemies and beheaded all of them with a swipe of the sword the creature was holding in its mouth.
Zacian growled as the enemies were now able to see who was attacking them, the Dark Mages, immediately fired their most powerful and darkest spells at Zacian, but her sword immediately began to glow with Fighting Type Energy.
Zacian then rushed forward, while cutting apart the dark spells coming her way, with Sacred Sword until she got close to the Dark Mages and then used Brutal Swing, the Dark Type attack smashed against the Dark Mages and sent them flying back and crashing against the walls of the castle halls.
The Assassins tried to attack her from behind, but Zacian used Quick Attack and blurred out the way of the Assassin's attacks, Zacian appeared behind them and lashed out with her claws engulfed with Steel Type Energy, her Metal Claw attack torn the enemies to pieces in a split second.
After all the enemies were dead, the Legendary Pokémon then howled in victory and then blurred out of sight, moving through the hallways of the castle and attacking any enemy she found as fast as she could.
Outside of the castle, in the gardens, five Dark Mages were keeping a Magic circle activated, more and more Assassins and Dark Mages were being teleported into the Castle's grounds thanks to these five Mages, however, everyone came to a halt when a creature suddenly flew down from the dark sky night.
The enemy looked up in shock and awe towards the avian like creature, a second later the Dark Mages and Assassins began to shot Dark magic and arrows at Yvetal, but the Legendary Dark Type Pokémon just stayed floating in the air unaffected by the attacks.
Until she suddenly flapped her wings and unleashed an Oblivion Wing attack upon the entire area, the dark winds created by the attack crashed againts every enemy in the area and killed them all.
The area and the enemy had their life force drained by Yvetal's signature attack, the enemies become dried up husks that dropped to the ground, while the plant life and trees in the castle garden dried up and died.
The enemies were taken care off, but Yvetal couldn't help but sweatdropped as she saw the damage she had caused to the beautiful castle garden, hopefully her master can restore it, otherwise she'll have to ask Xerneas for a favor and she definitely didn't want to do that.
I was keeping an eye on everything going on with Aura Sense, while being inside Emmeryn's room, and I couldn't help but sweatdropped when I saw the destruction Yvetal caused on the Castle's garden *oh...I'm going to have to fix that before anyone notices...*.
Still, we cleared the castle grounds now, or rather my Pokémon did, though one thing bothers me, there was a main evil guy who was supposed to show up here, but he didn't, Validar, the leader of a cult and Robin's father was supposed to show up here.
Yet, he didn't and I don't know if it is because the changes that have been happening or because he knows about me and my Pokémon, which in hindsight, could be very possible, I'm sure he has spies and what not, so he probably knows how dangerous it is to show up here.
I wonder what this change will bring? either way, for now I'll just focus on what's going on, so I turned my head towards everyone to inform them of the situation "alright, all enemies are dead".
Emmeryn sighed in relief, Chrom smiled and then said "than the Gods everything worked out, thanks Rean".
Emmeryn nodded and then gave me a smile "yes, thank you Rean, you and your Pokémon".
Emmeryn gave Giratina, who as still besides her, a headpat, which got the Legendary Ghost and Dragon Type Pokémon to purr in glee, I smiled and gave Chrom and Emmeryn a nod "no problem guys, besides, some of my Pokémon got to stretch their legs... paws...wings, well whatever, they got to have some fun and that's a good thing".
Phila suddenly rushed into the room and immediately apologized "I beg your forgiveness, milord! I failed in my duty, they should have never made it into the castle in the first place".
Chrom shook his head "peace, Phila, you couldn't have known what was coming, only Marth could...".
Emmeryn tilted her head in confusion at the mention of Marth's name "... Marth?".
Chrom nodded "yes, I would speak more with... um... where's Marth? she was just besides Giratina a second a ago!".
Robin turned to look for Lucina, but only saw Giratina deadpanning at him and Chrom, that look from the Legendary Pokémon made him feel like they both did something stupid "hmm... an excellent question , she was here a moment ago...".
I just chuckled and pointed at a window "she jumped out the window a few seconds ago, while you guys where distracted by Phila".
Chrom and Robin turned to look at me and gave me a very complicated look, Robin sighed and looked down "and you didn't say anything because?".
"I didn't know that I had to keep an eye on her? I mean, she's not a enemy, so what do I care if she want to leave?"
Robin raised a finger to say something, but then dropped it and just looked tired, while not knowing what to say, Chrom groaned in front "... not again!".
Chrom immediately jumped out the window and ran towards where he knew Lucina would be going to get out of the castle, Emmeryn gasped in surprise, while Robin gaped, I just shook my head and let things happen, I'm sure Lucina is going to like having the chance to speak her father one more time.
Besides, I have a lot dead bodies and a destroyed garden to take care of, so without any further thing to say, I walked out of Emmeryn's room, with Giratina going back into my shadow when she saw me leaving.
Chrom was able to catch up to Lucina before she got out of the castle, he had gone around and cut her off, so now he was standing in front of her, he huffed and then sighed before speaking "going somewhere? you have a bad habit of leaving without saying goodbye, you know?".
Lucina looked down and sadly frowned "yes, I'm afraid I have a few bad habits".
Chrom noticed that Lucina seemed down, so he tried to cheer her up a bit with his words "good ones as well, you helped me, both me and my sister, is there a way I can repay you? some favor I can grant?".
Lucina looked up at Chrom and smiled "hearing you offer is reward enough".
However, Chrom really wanted to thank her for helping them, for coming here to warn them of the attack, sure Rean took care of it, and the chances of them getting hurt with him around was null, but she still came to help and that meant a lot to Chrom "but there must be something...".
Lucina shook her head and then said "I already have what I came for, history has been rewritten".
Lucina's words piqued Chrom's curiosity "and what future was averted?".
Lucina looked up and pondered how to explain things, she didn't want to give out to much information about the future after all, who knows what could happen? but she still wanted to explain something to her father so she began to explain as best as possible without revealing too much "after the Exalt's untimely Assassination, the Fire Emblem would be stolen.
This, in turn, would lead to a great war, and soon to the end of mankind itself... but I'm sure that sounds like madness to you".
Chrom shook his head and then chuckled "... strangely, no, it doesn't, somehow I know I can trust you, and I hope someday to repay your favors".
Lucina smiled one more time and the said "perhaps one day you shall, until then...".
Lucina walk away, while Chrom looked at her go, Lucina however had a few tears going down her face, she was happy she got to spend some time with her father, but having to leave made her feel sad.
Though she soon cleaned her tears and continued moving forward, she had a lot to do still, finding her friends and making sure future events won't happen was still a priority for her, she still had things to do.
Some time later.
After I had cleaned up all the dead bodies, restore life to the Castle's garden and repairing everything that was damaged by my Pokémon's attack, I returned to where Emmeryn was, Robin, Phila and her were speaking about what to do about the security of the castle.
However, when I got there I also saw Panne and Gaius there as well, though Panne looked like she was about a second from running away as she stared at Celebi, who was eating candy and making Gaius float around her with her Psychic move.
The poor Thief looked like he was about to empty his stomach as he twirled and spinned around Celebi, Emmeryn was staring at the scene and could tell she was trying hard not to laugh, Robin didn't care and was outright chuckling.
Phila just didn't know what to say, I looked up at Celebi and raised an eyebrow at her "Celebi, where did you get thay candy?".
Celebi stopped eating her sweets and pointed at Gaius, the guy paled and started at me not knowing what to do or say, I mean, there was nothing he could do anyways, not when he's being held up by Celebi's Psychic.
I stared at Gaius "a Thief? well, isn't that interesting? but, now I'm curious, why didn't Celebi kill you?".
Gaius was sweating now, Celebi however giggled and her eyes glowed blue, she then transfered what she saw and heard Gaius say when he found out they were hired to actually kill Emmeryn, Phila frown and glared at Gaius, while Robin looked intrigued.
Emmeryn just seemed surprised, but she soon smiled and looked up at Celebi "Celebi, do you mind letting this man go?".
Celebi nodded and immediately let her Psychic dissipated, Gaius squawked in surprise as he fell on the ground and then slammed against it with a groan of pain, everyone winced knowing that the impact must have hurt quite a bit.
Celebi just giggled and went back to eating her candy, Gaius stood up and looked worried, but Emmeryn just smiled and told him that he was free to go, Phila wasn't happy about it, but she knew there was no way to make Emmeryn change her mind.
Gaius was of course, surprised and shocked that he was being let go, I knew that he's a good guy and I didn't mind that he was left free, besides, Celebi deemed him a good person, otherwise she would have killed him in a second.
Robin however had other plans and told Gaius to meet with Chrom, the Grandmaster of the Shepherds believes that Gaius could be very useful to the group, especially because the skills of a Thief might come in handy in the upcoming war.
So, Gaius was going to stay with the Shepherds, the guy even accepted right away, I don't know if it was because he was moved by Emmeryn's kindness or because working with Shepherds is way better than Plegia, but either way, Gaius joined the team.
Emmeryn then turned her attention to Panne, who was now stating at both me and Celebi with fear and apprehension, not that Emmeryn noticed, she just knew, that she wanted to to thank her "brave Taguel, there are not words to express my gratitude".
Panne was finally distracted from Celebi and me and turned around to face Emmeryn, even though she seemed on edge, she still spoke to Emmeryn "so you know our true name?"
Robin looked confused though "sorry, what's a Taguel?".
Panne turned to look at Robin and began to explain "I am a Taguel, the... last Taguel, we are shape shifters, most of your kind called us 'beast' or 'coney' in the midst of their hunts... I only tried to help you because my Warren owes Ylisse a debt, though..." Panne turned to look at me just in time to see Celebi shoved a candy into my mouth, making me choke a bit.
I stopped choking a few seconds later, but I did glare at Celebi who just giggled in glee, Panne just went on "my help was unnecessary... do nit think us friendly, you and I!".
Robin was even more confused "I don't understand...".
Panne shrugged and shook her head "yes, it's precious little your kind seem to understand, it was man spawn like you that invaded our Warren and slaughtered my people".
Emmeryn seemed shocked at Panne's words "what!? is this true? who would do such a thing?".
Panne however scoffed "ha! do not act so shocked, you are all the same, right down to your base desire to ruin and destroy all you touch, even each other".
Emmeryn looked down and seemed sad, I just shook my head and spoke up "so, you blame all humans from what a few did to your kind, can't say I blame you, I have seen humans do some very horrible things.
But, to say all of them are them same? no, thats not true and you acting and speaking like this doesn't make you any better than the humans you hate so much, but it's your problem, not mine.
You're free to think and do what you want, but at the every least don't lump all humans together, that's insulting and you should know better".
Emmeryn looked up and then began to speak "I'm told, in Taguel Society, everyone is treated as an equal, mankind could have learned much from you Warren, the words may come too late and mean too little, but I am deeply sorry.
We have stolen your friends and family and made the world a lesser place".
I sighed and shook my head "you should have to apologize for the bad deeds of others Emmeryn...".
Emmeryn just gave me a small smiled and I just shook my head knowing she was being stubborn about this, Phila frowned not happy about what she just heard "your grace... you had no fault in this!".
Panne stared at both me and Emmeryn, she looked afraid of me, but confused at Emmeryn, in other words she looked very conflicted "you claim to be blameless and yet you apologize?...".
Panne looked like she wanted to say more, but I shook my head and spoke up "Emmeryn is too kind for her own good, despite you being cold and uncaring of her words, she wants to let you know, she genuinely feels bad for what happened to your people, that's all".
Emmeryn blushed at being called out, but nodded in agreement with my words, Panne stared at Emmeryn for a few seconds, until she sighed and nodded "... you seem sincere, man spawn, you feel my pain as your own... I've never felt that before.
Look at me... see what I am, I will never trust mankind, but you... perhaps you truly are not like the others".
Emmeryn smiled at Panne and seemed happy "all I ask is a chance to earn your trust".
Panned sighed and nodded "alright... but" Panne turned to look at me and Celebi "what sort of creature are those two? my instincts keep telling me to run away as fast as can from them...".
I just smiled and shrugged, while Celebi giggled, Robin sighed and scratched the back of his head "ah well... explaining about Rean and the Pokémon is going to take a while...".
Despite looking afraid still, Panne still wanted to know, so Robin began to explain as best as possible, while Emmeryn and Phila watched on in amusement.
Meanwhile, inside a dark dimension.
Stood a Dark Mage, this person had a frown on his head as he was thinking of what he just seen, the battle in the Castle should have been an easy thing, the Exalt should have been dead and the Fire Emblem his, but it seems like rumors about the Shepherds were true after all "those creatures... what were they?".
Validar frowned and snarled in anger, but suddenly, someone walked up to him, someone wearing a cloak and hood on their head "Validar, looks like your having a hard time... I did warn you, not to underestimate the Shepherds.
Especially that unknown Warrior and his creatures, the powers that man and creatures had shown are nothing to scoff at".
Validar frowned but look down "yes, you did warn me... but I didn't want to believe in someone holding that much power".
The hooded person maliciously grinned "worry not, we still have the element of surprise Validar, things are till well on their way, just focus on authoring the story before you, a destiny greater than you know".
Validar nodded "as you wish...".
The hooded person chuckled "after all, I am the wings of despair, I am the breath of ruin, I am the Fell Dragon, Grima! no human and his creatures will stop me!".
An hour later.
When Chrom had returned, he asked me to bring Frederick to us, so Mew Teleported him from the Shepherds Base, while also leaving Panne and Gaius in the base to wait for us, with Chrom, Frederick, Robin, Emmeryn, Phila and I together, we decided to speak about what had happened.
Phila was the first one to speak "it will take time to investigate how the Assassination plot got so far, though thanks to Rean we know that the enemy used Teleportation Magic...".
Chrom sighed " it was Plegia, I'm sure of it, they'd do anything for the Emblem, Emm, you can't stay here, come to Ferox where it's safe".
Emmeryn shook her head "and leave the people undefended? war is at our borders, Chrom, do you expect Ylisse to stand against Plegia without a leader? they must know their Exalt stands with them".
But Chrom looked unsured "but if something happens to you? what then?".
Emmeryn looked like she was about to argue, but Frederick cut her off before both Chrom and her could begin to really argue "your grace, perhaps you might relocate to the eastern palace for the time being? the other kingdoms know nothing of it, you would be safer".
Chrom nodded in agreement right away "yes, please, at least that, I can't leave for Ferox with you right in harm's way".
Emmeryn sighed, but soon smiled at her brother "... hmm, very well".
Chrom sighed in relief and nodded in thanks to his big sister "thanks, Emm, I mean it, we'll escort you to the palace before we head north to the border".
Emmeryn smiled and clapped "ah, then I get to spent some time in Rean's My Pokéhome, that's always fun!".
Chrom deadpanned at his sister, while Phila and Frederick looked worried, Robin just chuckled, while I just smiled at the whole thing.
After that conversation, I took Emmeryn, Chrom, Robin and I to My Pokéhome, we haven't slept all night because of the Assassination attempt, so they were all pretty tired so they immediately went to the Pokémon Center to sleep, I on the other hand, went to my Workshop.
I wanted to have Emmeryn's, Panne's and Gaius's Enchanted Clothes ready before we leave tomorrow, so I got to work right away, while everyone slept and rested for the night.
The next morning, we left and went to the Shepherds base and gathered everyone, we explained what happened last night and the plan for today, after we explained everything, everyone immediately got ready to March and leave for Ferox.
We knew it would be a long march, but with access to My Pokéhome, the trip will be easier for everyone, before we left though, I gave Emmeryn, Panne and Gaius their Enchanted clothes, Emmeryn was happy and immediately went to get change.
Panne was unsure and suspicious, but eventually changed as well, Gaius didn't care and was just glad to be better protected against attacks, Thieves are fast, but they aren't very tough, so more protection was always appreciated.
About an hour later we all set out on the long march to Ferox, with Emmeryn coming with us to be dropped off along the way.
Hours later.
After a whole day of marching towards Ferox and fighting Risen, which were becoming more common now, we decided to finally turn in for the day, so I took everyone into My Pokéhome, almost everyone immediately went to their favorite places in my Domain, to either eat, rest or just relax.
However, Panne and Gaius were in shock with what just happened, I don't blame them though, after all, I just practically teleported them to a new realm, so I explained what My Pokéhome is and what can be found in here, Gaius took it in stride and immediately headed to the Shopping District to see about finding more sweets.
His reserves had been pillaged by Celebi after all and he really needed his sugar, Panne however was very nervous, everything and everyone in My Pokéhome was setting her instincts on, at a high degree.
So, to help her, I introduced her to the Warrior Bunnies, both races are different, I know that, but they have some similarities that I think Panne would appreciate, and she did, Panne immediately got along with the Warrior Bunnies and they accepted her pretty quickly as well.
With that good deed done, I decided to take a walk around to relax, only to see Lissa walking around looking for someone or something, curious about what she was up to, I followed her.
Lissa soon found what she was looking for and quickly walked over to him "there you are Lon'qu! I take it my brother talked to you?".
Lon'qu, upon seeing Lissa getting close to him, physically flinched away from her "er...".
Lissa narrowed her eyes at him and at the way he reacted to her "oh, stop it! yes, I'm a girl, but it's your job to guard me! so no running away and being all weird, all right?".
Lon'qu sighed and then huffed in annoyance "Chrom said there was a plot on your life, is this accurate?".
Lissa nodded and frowned "yeah, I guess somebody wants my sweet little head on a platter... I would have asked Rean to help, but, he's already doing so much for us and Chrom doesn't want to bother him with every little detail, oh! don't ask me why someone wants me death though, I don't know!".
Lon'qu huffed "you're of royal blood, that's enough to make you a target and any shadow could hide a knife, so we must ensure you are never alone, especially because were going to be moving around all over, while we're in war with Plegia".
Lissa smiled and nodded "my hero! I don't have to worry about a thing with you around, la la laaa...".
And Lissa just began to skip away smiling and singing, sheesh, she could take this a bit more seriously, poor Lon'qu, he has no idea what's sort of mischievous gremlin he has been ask to protect.
Lon'qu frowned when he saw Lissa skip away from him and began to follow her " don't be careless! keep your eyes open! death could lurk in any nook or... is there no one else better suited fo this task?".
Lissa must have heard Lon'qu's words, because she giggled and said "yeah, but you were just lazing around catching butterflies all day, so Chrom...".
Lon'qu glared at Lissa and then yelled "I certainly was not!".
Lissa jumped in surprise from Lon'qu's loud outburst "j-just kidding, Lon'qu! k-kidding! I'm sure Chrom was impressed by your skills and charm and good looks! I mean, out of everyone here, he's trusting you to keep his little sis safe, thats a pretty huge honor, right?... riiiiight?".
Huge honor? as if! Chrom's knows that if he had asked anyone else in the Shepherds, we would have told him to go fuck himself or laughed at his face, we all love Lissa, but fuck! do we sometimes want to drop kick her.
Lon'qu sighed and then tiredly said "... I suppose".
Lisa smiled and then cheerfully clapped "right! so come on, no more grumbling, let's shake hands and make nice!".
Lon'qu flinched away from Lissa's outstretched hand and then deadpanned at her "...".
Lissa sweatdropped and the sighed in defeat "oh fine, no handshaking, we can just... nod at each other, sheesh! do you really have such a problem with women!".
Lon'qu huffed in annoyance but explained a bit nonetheless "I find them... disconcerting, but it will not interfere with my duty".
Lissa crossed her eyes and seemed annoyed, but then she got that mischievous gleam in her eyes and said "hmm... maybe as thanks for guarding me I'll go ahead and fix your little problem...".
Lon'qu scoffed at Lissa's proposal and shook his head "... or maybe not?".
Lissa groaned in annoyance at Lon'qu but eventually said "fiiiiine! I'm going to train, Rean showed me a new spell I want to try, you can... just stand there and look dour".
Lon'qu nodded "that suits me just fine".
Well, all I could really do in this situation, is wish Lon'qu good luck, because I know she's not going to drop this any time soon, Lon'qu will find himself dragged in Lissa's Shenanigans soon enough, poor bastard.
After that small conversation, I went to my Workshop to work on a few things I'm making for the Shepherds, new weapons with Elemental properties, maybe even some unique skills, plus I'm sure the Shepherds wanted to train for a while too.
Now that Panne and Gaius have joined the Shepherds, we have to slow down a bit, both in Gaea's Labyrinth and with the training, the Twins and I are giving the Shepherds, since both Panne and Gaius have quite a lot to catch up to.
So we're going to focus on Panne and Gaius for a bit, while the rest of the Shepherds train and practice what they have learned so far, theres no hurry after all, not when time is of no matter in My Pokehome.
By the time we reached Ferox, both Panne and Gaius will be caught up with the rest of the Shepherds and everyone will be ready for war as well.
And done.
Well, tonight we saw some of the Legendary Pokémon having some fun, which mean bad news to all enemies, cause a Normal Pokémon is bad enough, but a Legendary? well, we saw what happened right?.
Emmeryn is safe and alive, which according to Lucina, is a deviation from Canon, her Canon in which Emmeryn would have died this night and the Fire Emblem stolen, so yeah, a big change has been made.
We also saw another change in Validar, in the game, we fight him here and killed him, but he gets resurrected and empowered by Grima, but here, it sees like him and Grim already know each other!.
And finally, conversation and Rean doing his thing, but that's it for me tonight everyone, this Old Black Fox, is both tired and sore, so goodnight everyone! and see you all later!.
