Authors note: So this is my first fanfic, I thought about this concept for a while and I wanted to see how it played out.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything from Fire Emblem, not even the characters; the only thing I own is this story, which I sincerely hope you enjoy.

Prologue: Uncertainty ahead

"She told me never to look for her, yet here I am, looking at her directly in the eyes, wanting to say so much to her, damn, I never though I could see this damn tactician again, yet she still looks the same to me. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do now."

"So, your name's Robin? Sweet!"

Chapter 1: Chance meeting

He walked silently down the cobblestone hallways; his steps didn't even make a sound. He had been there for over a month and already knew every nook and crevice the royal palace had to offer, so now it was high time to get some sort of reward for his hard work, a sugary reward to be exact. The young spy-in-training walked noiselessly through the hallways, stopping occasionally to check and see that no one was around. Although he was still training to become a spy he was a natural in his line of work, even surprising some of his masters. Therefore climbing up the ranks wasn't exactly hard work for him, earning him a spot amongst the spies training under the royal Plegian palace. After silently opening the big doors ajar he reached his destination: the mess hall. To say that Gaius had a sweet tooth would be an understatement. If anything, there was nothing he wouldn't do for sweets. As he turned the last corner he finally reached where he was looking for, the mess hall. The palace mess hall was enormous with big chandeliers hanging off the ceiling. With the eerie light from the windows pouring down, Gaius crept to the back kitchen. As soon as he crept in he found the small figure of a girl, about two years younger than him trying her hardest to reach the top cabinet in the kitchen.

"Damn, now's not the best time to go in." He watched silently from the corner as the girl stretched her arms towards the sweets cabinet. "So she's looking for that, she might be smarter than what I gave her credit for, even though she's a girl."

Suddenly the girls foothold gave away and she started falling, the next thing Gaius knew he was holding her merely centimeters away from the ground. She looked smaller now than what she looked like back then. Her short brown hair framed her features perfectly and her big red eyes seemed to look right through him, he was scared and interested with her. He gently placed her back on her feet. His feet acted on his own and just as he was leaving the kitchen he heard a small voice behind him.

"Thank you, my name's Robin, what's yours?"

"Gaius" and just as quickly as he said it he ran out of the room with his heart beating as loud as it could.

"BOW!" Gaius quickly obeyed and bent down as he heard several pairs of footsteps down the hallway. As he slowly peeked up he found Validar, one of the highest grimreal priests in the castle as well as the figures of the other priests. He gave off this sinister vibe, akin to fear, which clung to him disgustingly. As he heard the footsteps give away he slowly looked up to watch the small matt of brown hair belonging to Robin, walking closely behind Validar. As realization slowly dawned on him he found himself looking directly at Validar's daughter, Robin completely shocked.

When night finally fell Gaius reached the kitchen only to find a pie with a small note with careful and delicate writing.

Thank you, Gaius.

-Robin

"Who exactly is this girl?"
