Summary


So I went through a bunch of side battles to level up my characters. And I managed to get some level-ups, but more importantly, Vaike and Lissa bonded more over how great Chrom is, and they...

Well, we have another marriage in our group! Lissa and Vaike are now husband and wife!

Anyways, thanks to that, I've unlocked Paralogue 5.

Paralogue 5 Starts in a forest in eastern Valm, where Lissa's hanging out with Lucina. Apparently, Lissa's still around in the future, and she's amazing and nice and she and Vaike have a son named Owain. Owain is... very colorful, apparently.

Meanwhile, a group of bandits (because what would a Paralogue be without them) is menacing a nearby village, but a warrior shows up and takes a few down. A ridiculous, hammy, screaming, theatrical, hilarious warrior who yells the names of his attacks, talks about searching for an ancient blade called Mystletainn (we actually have it laying around somewhere in our convoy), rants about how his sword hand thirsts for justice (actual quote: "I am the wolf who howls for justice! The eagle who cries for love! A chosen warrior come from the future to bring hope to a dying world... I am Owain! Now, atone for your deeds in the eternal hellfire of perdition! RADIANT...DAAAAAAWN!"), etc.

Chrom and Robin are as confused as you are right now.

Anyways, this warrior turns out to be Owain. Meet Lissa's son, everybody.



Chrom goes to recruit him and finds out that Owain's his nephew. He came through the time portal with Lucina.

One battle later, Owain saves Lissa from a random straggler bandit, and they have a conversation.

Apparently, Owain has the Brand too. Lissa apparently never ended up with a Brand, even though she's royal blood. It's just a genetics thing, I guess. Apparently Lissa started sobbing with happiness when she saw that Owain had the Brand. Daaawwwww. c:

Then Owain starts screaming about his sword hand again.

And then we have Supports! :D

There's a C-Support between Owain and Robin, where Owain tells Robin a story of his great exploits across the world. These great exploits haven't actually happened yet, but Owain's waiting. He also gets this amazing line:

"Oh, greetings, Robin. I'm chronicling the saga of Owain Dark, Avenger of Righteous Justice. It's a tale of blood and honor and me being generally amazing."

...Holy crap, I love this dork.

Robin then replies about how it's like watching a bizarre one-man theater show.

Then there's a Support between Owain and his dad. Owain starts talking about the blood that is raging through his throbbing... sword arm. I'm beginning to think that his sword arm might be something else.

Owain's freaking out about his sword arm, so Vaike goes to get Lissa to help. Sheesh, guys, give your son and his sword arm some privacy.

Lissa and Owain also have a Support about how Owain's disappointed that Lissa hasn't named her weapon- or, in this case, staff.

That's about it.

My Thoughts
After unlocking Paralogue 5, Paralogue 9 also unlocked. I can only assume that this Paralogue involves either Vaike's son/daughter or Sumia's son/daughter.

I'd prefer to play the Paralogues in order, and apparently to unlock the next one, I need to get Maribelle to have a kid.

Also- everyone in our party is a huge nerd. Chrom has a giant goofy rivalry with Vaike, Robin's actually quite socially awkward, Stahl's goofy, Ricken looks like a little kid, Lon'qu's terrified of women, Nowi's a thousand years old but acts like a little kid, Henry is... Henry... I think Lucina might be the sanest one out of all of us.
