I know it's been a while since I updated this story, but to let you all know I am not dead yet! I still have a lot planned for this story! So enjoy the new chapter!
"Eh, did someone call for me?" a female voice spoke, the four turned to see a woman with white hair dressed in a black cloak with purple eye ball designs running down the sleeves, she looked to be holding a large amount of books.
"Hey, Robin, say 'Hi' to the Shepards newest member!" Lissa gestured to Hadas a she smiled brightly. The woman he has been hearing about; Robin, looked at Hadas and raised her brow, she never saw any kind of knight like Hadas. She gave a awkward wave to the Hadas and he did the same, Robin placed the books she was holding onto a table nearby and soon walked over to the others. Mostly she moved towards Hadas and inspected his armor and swords, they were of high quality and a elegant design that even rivals that of noble arms and armour.
"So, who are you Hadas?" Robin asked in curiosity, Lissa just giggled and caught the attention of both Robin and Hadas.
"Hehe, Robin, well you see...he's in the same position like you! What's strange is that we found him in the same field where we found you!" Lissa explained as she pat Hadas on his shoulder. Robin's face turned to one of confusion and uncertainty as she looked at Hadas who only nodded in response.
"Amnesia?" Robin asked Hadas and he nodded, she didn't know what to say, to think that some one was in the same position as her and was found in the same place she was found as well. Did that field have some sort of magical properties? she should really look into that field.
"Do your memories come back in fragments?" She asked and Hadas nodded once more, she could go to the roster book and see if any information about Hadas pops up, when she joined the roster book held some information but not all. It only told some bits about the person, so checking it out should help him remember something.
"Everyone doing alright?" A voice spoke behind Robin and all of them turned to see Chrom.
"Captain! I-" the black haired woman's sentence was cut off when she tripped over nothing and slammed her face onto the stone floor.
Hadas was surprised that she even got back up from that, her face didn't even have a scratch on it. She dusted herself off and squinted in embarrassment.
"Sumia? Are you alright? Is it those boots again?" Chrom asked her. The woman named Sumia, pressed her index fingers together shyly as she looked at the ground.
"No- I mean, yes- I mean…" Sumia stuttered as she tried to find an answer for Chrom's question.
"Is it those boots, Sumia? You should really get some new ones" Robin suggested.
Sumia sighed, "maybe you're right…they're just comfy though."
"You trip like that on the battlefield, your head would be removed from your shoulders" Hadas said.
Sumia poked her index fingers again once more.
"The thing is though…i've always been a klutz even without the boots" Sumia said.
"Well, I don't think she'll be tripping over her own Pegasus….at least I hope not" Chrom said, giving a nervous chuckle.
"I-I won't captain" Sumia declared, her hands straight at her sides.
"So, Chrom, what's the news?" Robin asked as she looked at the young prince.
"We're to march to Regna Ferox to request aide. Ylisse doesn't have enough soldiers to take on this threat alone. Also, the council has decided give them a name. Risen. We head out tomorrow, so get a good night's sleep everyone." Chrom said.
"Chrom, I met the new member of the Shepard's, I was thinking that we show him the Roster. To help him get more information about his past." Robin said as she pulled Chrom to the side while everyone else left.
"Right, Hadas we have book that might hold some information about your past, its called the Roster. It holds the information of everyone in the Shepard's even ones that have recently joined." Chrom explained, Hadas interest peaked at the mention of this book.
"How does it work?" Hadas asked.
"No one knows, the Shepard's have?. always had the Roster, even before I joined. Every time we get a new recruit, their backgrounds are added to its pages." Robin said.
"I would like to see this book." Hadas said.
"Alright, you two stay put, i'll go get it." Robin said as she left the two, heading towards a room that was filled with books. Hadas and Chrom watched as she left, the two turn back to each other.
"How are you adjusting, Hadas?" Chrom asked, Hadas just shrugged his shoulder.
"Well enough, most of them thought I was some kind of royal knight or something…" he said, his hand rested on the pommel of his sword.
"Can't blame them, your armour and swords are something no soldier or knight could afford." Chrom admitted.
"Found it!" Robin called out, she came running out from the room with a large leather tome in her hands. Walking up to both Hadas and Chrom she opened up the book and skimmed through the pages, trying to look for Hadas page.
"It doesn't reveal much about you, Hadas, expect that you lived a life of a loner, travelled to dangerous places, and have some kind of brand on your chest. But there are some tid bits at the end that label a random fact about the Shepard's" Robin said. Brand on his chest? He would have to check that out later.
"What does mine say?" Hadas asked.
Both Chrom and Robin read the random fact about Hadas and slowly looked at him with hesitation.
"It says that you came from a land of endless death and despair…" Robin spoke.
Hadas got a massive headache, a name rang through his head that threatened to make him lose his sanity. 'Drangleic.' Just sounding those words in his mind brought forth a familiar weight that he had to bear with, loneliness, exhaustion, and never ending feeling of guilt.
"Hadas, do you remember anything about that land?" Chrom asked, placing a hand of Hadas shoulder. Hadas pushed Chroms hand away and started to walk towards the exit.
"I…I need to rest…" Hadas said as he walked out of the room.
Robin and Chrom watched as he left and the two of them looked at each other, that random fact about Hadas left them curious and worried about him. The sun was setting and the others would be asleep by now, the headache that engulfed Hadas mind showed no signs of stopping.
This was gonna be a long night for him, but he should try and get some shut eye, he'll need it for the march.
