I do not own Fire Emblem Awakening. Chrom's Point Of View in this one-shot.

Recalling His Words

By waterrain


What is one life when weighed against millions?

You have always been so very kind to me, Chrom, always...but this is my decision.

I tried to make him promise me that he won't land the final blow for I didn't want him to cease to be...Well I just got to make sure I land the final blow before him. The only items in Robin's tent is his bed. His massive amount of books are gone. His failed drawings vanished without a trace. His personal items no longer here.

"I won't be needing anything." Robin told me. I closed my eyes and didn't say anything, but gods I will land that final blow before him.

Now I can give my life to protect those I care for..

Robin landed the final blow to Grima and using his most powerful magic. I didn't make it in time. Damnit. If only I had moved faster then I would have landed the final blow instead of Robin. I don't want him to die. I do not want him to cease to be..

Thank you, Chrom. For everything...Tell the others..my last thoughts were of them..May we meet again in a better life.

Robin faded away before my very eyes. I'll find him even if it takes the rest of my days. I will find him. I'm sure he is out there somewhere in this world. Lissa and I set out to find him. Days go on. No sign of him yet.

"Robin." I muttered while looking up at the sky.

"I miss him too." Lissa said quietly.

By the gods, Chrom! Please, I beg of you do not take any more of these foolish risks.

Battlefield victories mean nothing if an army loses its leader. You are no longer simply your own man. You stand for all of us.

I want to be there when you find the next me face down in a field.

I want to help you make this army stronger. I want to help you forge new bonds.

We walk silently together side by side lost in thought. I almost tripped over something and then I glanced down. Robin's eyes are closed, laying in the empty field, and...we could say the same words we said when we first found him.

"Chrom we have to do something." Lissa said to me.

"What do you propose we do?" I asked her.

"I don't know." Lissa commented.

"I see you are awake now." I said calmly to Robin.

"Hey there." Lissa said while smiling down at him.

"There are better places to take a nap than on the ground you know." I commented while smiling faintly. Robin blinks his eyes and looks up at me as if in a daze.

"Give me your hand." I said to Robin and he gives me his hand. I help him up and I notice the mark is gone from his hand. "Welcome back it's over now."
