Nephenee woke up that morning with the sound of many voices at once. What time was it and why is everyone awake, she didn't possibly wake up after them what time is it anyway, she thought to herself. She felt a hand touch her shoulder, she rapidly turned to see the green haired man who had given her soup yesterday. "Ah there you are, good morning", she said nothing, she only nodded. He extended his hand to her "would you allow me to help you get up from under the table?"
She sheepishly took hold of his hand to help her self to get up, she accidently hit her head on the table. "Oh are you alright?" He asked with worry. She nodded and took hold of his hand again, when.... She heard foot steps "oh Rolf" the man still holding her hand said, Rolf imediantly left the kitchen and when to the main hall. Nephenee was on her feet and let go of the man's hand "oh my apologies" he said and continued to cook, why was he apologizing? She thought to herself. She left the kitchen and headed to the main hall When...
"GUYS, GUYS OSCAR HAS A GIRL FRIEND AND SHE'S NONE OTHER THAN-" Rolf shouted, wait was he refering to her? Oh no, she thought. "Spit it out twerp who's the luck women?" Boyd asked. "WELL IT'S-"
"Bla! You don't have to yell!" Mia exclaimed "ooh tell us Rolfy" Gatrie said eagerly "why the hell do we care" Shinon snapped. "Oh hush Shinon aren't you curious, tell us Rolf" "Well Oscar and-" before he could finish Nephenee swiftly grabbed a broom and threw it like a spear at Rolf. Everyone gasped and were too busy checking if he was alright, no is my chance she thought while running back to the kitchen.
"Who did that?" Boyd exclaimed
Rolf was still conscious
"Pff idiot" Soren said "Soren be nice" Mist said "fine only because tell me so love" Soren said while lifting her chin for a kiss. "Ew get a room" Boyd said
Mia lifted the table cloth and said "do it under the table"
they stopped the kiss and both shouted "ARE YOU INSANE!"
"It was only a suggestion no need to make a big fuss about it"
"Why under the table?" Rhys asked innocently. "Because....
they will cause the table to shake making it obvious and commander will easily catch them will doing the act"
"And what's the point in that?" Boyd ask. "Simple I'll get a nice laugh and I'll be very satisfied seeing little Soren here getting his butt kicked by the commander" Mia said with a grin. "And why would you be satisfied" Soren said not pleased
"Well Soren you owed me one"
Siren rolled his eyes in annoyance "hey Mia" Rolf said catching his breath "why don't you and Boyd go under the table and do that" Mia immediately slapped him leaving him with a bright red mark. "Say something stupid as that and next time it will be sword on your face"
"Hey Mia I'll gladly take Boyds place" Gatrie said while looking at the table, Mia glared a him and punched his chest "PERV!" she yelled. "Mercenaries" a voice said "Ike!" mist said excited. "Listen very carefully" he said
everyone stopped what they were doing and gave Mike their undecided attention. "I heard Shinon and Gatrie brought a wounded women, where is she?" "We don't know she doesn't seem to be very social, she hasn't spoken to none of use" Mist answered, "it's such a bummer I want to hear her voice I bet it's sexy"
"Gatrie there is no need for your flurtting" Like said. Nephene gasped, now she remembered he's the radiant hero and commander of the greil mercenaries, why didn't she realized it earlier either way they don't remembered her maybe it was because she doesn't have her helmet on or armor, she never took it off during the war well only to bathe but she slept with it on two. Nephenee decided to go back to the main hall, as soon as her presence was noticed it was dead silent. "Ah so your the villager" the radiant hero said, oh what a relief she thought not even he remembered. "Well would you like to go back to your village?" He asked, yes that is what she mostly wanted, she quietly nodded. "Good, well we have jobs to do, Mia, Shinon and Gatrie go get rid of some bandits in the east, Boyd, Rolf, and Oscar go to the west, Titiana and I will stay here fixing some papers and Mist, Soren and Rhys take the girl to Ohma or and Rhys keep and eye on Soren and Mist."
"Yes commander" Rhys said.

A few hours had passed and Mist, Nephenee,Soren,and Rhys were a few minutes away from Ohma. "How do you feel getting back home?" Mist asked, Nephenee did not answered
"Its no use she won't respond Mist" Soren said. It smelled strange and Nephenee stopped "what is it?" Rhys asked, this smell Nephenee thought, it smell like.... ashes....Oh no!
Nephenee forgot about the mercenaries and sprinted to Ohma, she found a horrid surprise, her home was in flames. She heard the mercenaries scream at her but that didn't stopped her she ran towards the flames.
"Oh no!" Mist cried trying to go after her but Soren stopped her
"Don't be reckless Mist its too dangerous" Siren said "but-"
"Soren is right stay back Mist all we can do is wait" Rhys said trying to calm the girl.
Nephenee burned her arm, but she didn't cared, it did hurt though but she preferred to hold the pain. Nephenee was hoping she could save something when..
She saw the sacred blade of Daien wishblade.
