Hi! I was supposed to post this forever ago...
This was a long due request from my friend (who does not want to be named, the tsun-tsun), who requested that I make a Fire Emblem:Awakening fanfic having to do with the "original" dark future in which everything goes crummy and Lucina leaves to go back in time. With the added struggle of my chapters having to be less than 500 words (author notes not included). You're an evil one bestie...an evil one.
Anyway, I hope you guys like! :3
Enjoy~.
"Mother..."
Robin's gaze was empty as she stared at the body of her mother. She was pale and her face forever set in a grimace. Even in death, her mother could not find peace. Her funeral was a lonely one – Robin being the only attendee. Constantly traveling from place to place never allowed for the two to make any close acquaintances.
Robin had never known who her father was or even if she had one. The last time she ever asked her mother who her father was – she was only eight years old, but to this day, she still remembers the vivid look of horror her mother tried to hide in an uneasy smile, with tears building in her eyes.
She never asked again.
Still, Robin found that she couldn't even shed a tear even now that she was all alone. Instead, she packed what little belongings she had left into her satchel and walked away from the tiny cottage she and her mother had lived in for the past week.
That's how she found herself in a small town in the outskirts of the Ylissian kingdom.
The town was still smoldering from a widespread fire. No doubt caused by the bandits that now littered the ground.
"Thank the Gods Lord Chrom and Fredrick were here to help us!" a tearful villager exclaimed.
Being the strategist her mother raised her to be, she found that she could not really agree with how the bandits were dispatched. Quickly analyzing the area and bodies, she found that the bandits had suffered several non-threatening injuries before they were ultimately defeated. This no doubt allowed them to wreak much more havoc on the small town.
"Argh! You're all going to pay for this!"
And apparently, they also did not check to see if they had finished all the bandits off.
How careless.
"Help! Anyone please!"
Robin pulled the sword out of her sheath and cut the bandit down.
"Oh, thank you!" the village girl she just helped thanked her profusely.
"It's no problem." Robin sighed.
"Please take this. I'm sure it'll help you in the future!"
Robin was handed a concoction, useful for healing injuries she might sustain in a battle that was too much for a vulnerary to heal.
"Thank you," Robin spoke with a small nod.
"No problem! It's the least I can do to thank my savior!" the villager spoke sweetly.
And that was her cue to leave.
She placed her sword back and began to walk away.
"Wait! Where are you going?" the village girl stepped closer.
"I'm a…traveler. I have to keep moving." Robin spoke.
"Can I get your name at least?" the village girl asked.
"I'm sorry, but I do not like to disclose my information to people I do not know."
The girl looked dejected. "Wouldn't you like to stay for a while?"
"No thank you."
"Hmph…may Naga protect you on your journey traveler!" the girl huffed.
Robin waved a hand in the air in farewell.
Welp. This is a thing. I'm probably gonna post once a week since I already got several chapters already done. I dunno...I'll try to post once a week, maybe more, maybe less...
Review/comment, please!
