Hey guys, it's Kitsune Knight here and as you all can see, well today we're going to have a lot of chapters done today seeing as I caught some sort of bug, so I'm sick yet I can't fall back to sleep, so I felt like I should just write a little bit today, especially seeing as I already have a few papers done already, only one left which I'll be working on later today or tomorrow even. But besides the point, just buckle in and sit tight as we're going in! Also, I added in the music for this chapter because...well...it's my favorite in the entire game, just strong emotions through it's entirety.

We were running from Plegia, away from where Emmeryn had fallen to her death...this is...not good, we came all this way to save her but she's dead...we failed.

B:"Hurry! There should be carriages waiting just through the ravine!"

Chrom was silent, which was understandable, his sister did just...pass away.

R:"Chrom, please!"

C:"Rrgh... I'm...I'm coming."

B:"Quickly! We're almost... Huh? Damn!" Then some Plegian soldiers blocked our path, so much for an easy retreat... "Plegians! I knew it couldn't be that easy... They're right in our way! We must fight!"

So with such, we prepared for our rather grim fight, I was paired with Panne, with Tharja just behind us...why do I feel like she's staring at me at all times though? But besides the point, we then went to start the fight then.

Mustafa:"Ylisseans! I offer you mercy! Surrender to me now and live!"

B:"Surrender? Sorry, I'm not familiar with the word."

Mustafa:"Emmeryn would not have wished for this to come to bloodshed."

C:"Don't speak her name!"

Mustafa:"Your rage is justified, Prince Chrom. But the meaning of your sister's final sacrifice was not lost on me. I suspect many Plegians who heard her final words would say the same. If you lay down your weapons, I vow to protect you as best I can."

F:"How can we trust you after what your barbarous king has done? I think we shall take our chances with weapons in hand!"

Mustafa:"I suspected you would say as much. So be it, Prince Chrom. I shall endeavor to grant you a swift and dignified end."

With that, the battle got underway then, we would have to fight our way to freedom, and we did so...with time and patience. Yet in the midst of the fighting, the enemy army seems to be in disarray...

Mustafa:"What are those - thieves I see scattered about? So, they found our battlefield... They comb it for trinkets and spoils, then scurry away like mice. Pah! We shall bring them to justice later. First, the Ylisseans!

Then a little later, more disarray was going on.

Soldier:"Forgive me, sir, but I...I no longer see the justice in hunting these people down. I accept any punishment you see fit but after all that's happened...I just can't."

Wyvern Rider:"How dare you question the general's orders! You know full well the punishment for insubordination is death!"

Soldier:"B-but, sir! These people are-"

Mustafa:"These questions are not ours to ponder, lad. The soldier does not judge. The soldier delivers judgement."

Soldier:"Sir, I... I cannot raise my lance against them. Even if... Even if it means death."

Mustafa:"...You were there when Emmeryn spoke, weren't you? So be it! Those of you unwilling to fight are dismissed!"

Soldier:"But I don't wish to abandon you, sir!"
