Memento Mori (Fire Emblem/Advance Wars)

The Next Day

CO Tent, Yellow Comet Camp, Somewhere in Ylisse


Sonja's eyes gaze over the same page she had been reading for the last ten minutes, eager to absorb the knowledge held within. The tome was truly a marvel, the mysteries of magic now in her fingertips (so to speak).

As she read, she began to appreciate the situation she and her people were in.

Well, mostly. The whole "can't go home yet" part was a bit of a downer, but for the most part an ally had been found, so it was a step in the right direction at the least. Now, one day after meeting with the Nohrians, a liaison was to be sent alongside a gift of good will as a sign of thanks for the aid given to them. It wasn't much, but hopefully it was enough.

Just as she turned the page, the tent's flaps bristled slightly as Sensei walked though. "Ah, there you are." Sensei spoke with a gin on his face. "Reading that book again I see."

"It's very hard to put down." Sonja said, gently closing the book and placing it in small bag "The more I read it, the more excited I get about magic, and what Leo and Camila's people can teach us."

"Yes, though your father can say otherwise."

"I agree. It was a miracle he allowed me to be our liaison with our new allies." she said, thanking whoever was up there for getting her father to begrudgingly allow her to do just that. Sonja loved her father but sometimes his protective stubbornness was not easy to deal with. "Is everything in order?"

"Just finished. The boys sent me to get you." was Sensei's reply. "Stay safe out there."

"I will."

Later

With a heartfelt "Stay safe" and a hug from Kanbei wishing her to stay safe and keep in contact every hour, Sonja's APC drove through the strange new land they were in towards the camp of their new allies, with their gift in tow.

Literally, as the recon that the wyverns landed on was towed behind the tank that drove in front of the APC. It wasn't the best gift to give as it was broken, but Sonja figured that even in that state the Nohrians could still at least study it. And another Recon, driven by Ito and Yama, was being brought along as part of the convoy so there could be some comparison between it and a jeep that actually worked.

Sonja did nothing but wait with bated breath. Any moment now she would be at the Nohrian camp. Hopefully they were okay with her staying around as a liaison...
The Nohrian guards let the group pass without any hassle. Prince Leo was waiting by the makeshift stables, and couldn't wait to see what they had to offer.

As with the loading, unloading the APCs, bikes and temporary construction materials was causing a scene. It had been fun before, showing off technology to primitives, but it was just annoying now. And sadly, she couldn't shoot them to make them go away.

So instead, she turned to more productive matters with Queen Say'ri and Anna.

"What will be our route?" Was her question. Given all she had were on wheels, she had to make sure there wouldn't be issues on the way.
"There is a main road that connects this country, Regna Ferox, to Ylisse. It should take no more than a few hours journey with your vehicles," Say'ri pointed to a large cobblestone road that headed out of town.

"More like an hour and a half!" Anna chirped in as she hopped off the boat, "I did the math."

The convoy slowed to a stop a comfortable distance from the stables, and as soon as the vehicles stopped the passengers departed, making their way towards the Nohrian Prince. "Leo," greeted Sonja, waving a quick hello as she approached him. "Good morning. It is good to see you again. How are you?"

"Ah, Sonja," Leo nodded to her, "I am fine. I'd like to thank you for being our liason. It's not an easy job."
 
"Ah, Sonja," Leo nodded to her, "I am fine. I'd like to thank you for being our liason. It's not an easy job."

"I welcome the challenge." replied Sonja with a playful grin. "The real challenge was getting Father to agree to it. He can be quite stubborn about my safety."

She took a closer look, and noticed someone missing. "By the way, where is Camilla? I don't see her."
