The young girl sat down on the roots of a tree, next to her father. She wasn't much older than 12. Blue haired, adventurous and marked with the Brand of the Exalt in her left eye. As most children do, she wanted to be like her parents. Her father was a fantastic swordsman, the ruler of Ylisse and a folk hero. Her mother was a beautiful grey haired tactician, she was very intelligent and she was the reason Ylisse was in such a state of peace.

Her mother and father met one fateful day when her father, known as Chrom, and his band of shepherds found Robin (the girl's mother) lying down on a patch of grass. Robin helped Chrom and the shepherds defeat a band of brigands who were attacking Southtown. From that day Robin was brought into the shepherds, with Robin's help, Chrom managed to defeat King Gangrel and Plegia in the war that ravaged the nations. During the war love blossomed between Chrom and Robin. After the final battle was won, Chrom proposed to Robin, they got married and had two children, Lucina and Morgan.

The siblings had only a year's difference between them. Lucina was the oldest, she took after her father more than her mother. Lucina wanted to be a master swordswoman when she grew older. She was rather clumsy when it came to wielding a sword, but she had many years to hone her skills.

Lucina's brother, Morgan took more after his mother. He wanted to be a master tactician just as her mother. Morgan did not have the Brand of the Exalt in his eye, which he was rather upset about. Lucina and Morgan got on very well, which was a relief for their parents.

Lucina stood up wielding her wooden sword she and Chrom carved together.

"Father, when will I get a real sword?" The blue haired girl asked.

"When you are old enough to not almost poke someone's eye out" Chrom chuckled.

"B-but I can not poke people's eyes out!" She complained as she swung her sword around, almost hitting the reading Morgan.

"Watch it Lucy!" Morgan shouted ducking his head, "Father's right!".

"Settle down you two" Robin smiled as she walked over with a basket of food, "Who would like some sandwiches?"

Both of the children stopped what they were doing and walked over to their mother, they both grabbed a sandwich and raced to the old oak tree.

"I win!" Lucina shouts as she had already climbed up to the highest branch.

"As always!" Morgan playfully shouted back.

Morgan sloppily climbed to the branch that his sister sat on.

"Morgan, I wonder what we'll be like when we're older." Lucina asked her brother, who was chomping into a pork sandwich.

"Well when I'm older I want to be like Mother, I want to read every book and lead our army into battle!" Morgan replied.

"Well I want to be like Father! Lucina shouted, punching a fist in the air. "I want to be the best swords fighter in Ylisse and I want to be the prettiest lady in the land!".

The area that they were in was a lovely hidden meadow. It was a secret location that Chrom stumbled upon one day while hunting. It had a beautiful old oak tree that was higher than every tree in the forest, there was a stream that led into a large pond. The area was full of wildlife, you could see squirrels climb the trees, you could hear birds chirping, it was just beautiful. It was a short mile away from Ylisstol, where the Ylissean royal family lived. Lucina loved being outdoors, she felt it was where she belonged. She and her father would come out here to train every week. The big oak tree was their target, they practiced on the tree, leaving it with so many marks and scratches.

Lucina and her father were very close. They would spend hours at a time in the wilderness together. Lucina loved her father dearly. For Lucina's 11th birthday Chrom and Lucina carved two wooden swords out of the branches of the oak tree together.

Chrom taught Lucina to fight like he does, hoping one day she will be better than himself.

"Mother, Father, can I go exploring for a while please?" The blue haired girl begged. " I shan't be long!"

"I'm not sure what there is left to explore, since you and your father have been to every location in the woods, but you may." They tactician smiled.

"Thank you mother!"

"Just be safe."

"I will!"

Lucina ran off into the woods, with her wooden Falchion in it's sheathe on her hip. She walked for what seemed like years, taking in all of what she saw, the moss on the logs, the bird flying down, the squirrel's scuttling across the trees, she loved all of it.

She saw this large pond, with frogs and lily pads all over the body of water. Lucina kept walking.

About an hour had past, Lucina decided to sit on a log and have a rest. Lucina took out her water bottle from her worn leather satchel. She decided to practice swinging her sword around, trying to recreate the stance that her father does. Whilst Lucina was messing around, she heard some rustling coming from behind her, many thoughts rushed through her head,

was it a bear, was it some bandits, was it even some Risen? Lucina turned her hair to a beautiful girl, about two years older than Lucina, with emerald hair that reached down to her shins.

"What's the point of just swinging that stick around?"

Well that was chapter one. This is first thing I've pretty much ever written. I've wanted to give it a shot for a while now so I thought I'd go with it. This will be a Lucina X Palutena story (eventually). Well I hope you like it. Chapter 2 will probably come out, soon, hopefully. Until then.
