When ideas come to you because the games are so inspiring...each chapter is probably going to pretty short.
"I have to get through! Before it's too late!" Lucina extends her hand out, urging her body to push past the strong barrier in the Outrealm Gate. Her eyes, underneath the mask given to her by Gerome, notice her aunt cowering in fear from a Risen. With a grunt of exertion, she pushes out of the gate. Landing like a cat, she rushes towards Aunt Lissa, barely registering the man a few feet away. "Hurry!" she pushes herself.
As the axe descends towards Lissa, she easily slides in between the two, Falchion blocking the attack. The Risen is relentless, refusing to let off as her arm begins to ache from the strain. She notices Lissa turning her attention towards her, but she ignores it. Right now, she must deal with this accursed Risen. Turning to the man, now realizing that it's Chrom, she utters one word in a low, manly voice. "Help!"
Shaken out of his stupor, he nods, "Right!" Letting out a battle cry, he rushes towards the Risen, getting its attention. It grunts in confusion and Lucina shakes free of the pressure, twisting aside as Chrom appears. The two simultaneously attack the Risen. The Risen's death groan can be heard as Lucina repositions herself. Sheathing Falchion, Chrom turns towards her.
Her heart tightens at the thought of facing her father again. Even though he's really dead in the future, she can't help but feel the emotions threaten to overwhelm her. "Quite an entrance." No, she can't face him now. When she gains her opportunity, then she can escape. "What's your name?" he asks suspiciously. She turns to him, hoping that in the darkness, he can't see her shoulders shaking.
Before she can answer, Frederick appears, someone in Grimleal robes trailing behind him. Anger boils up in her as she darts off towards another mass of Risen, leaving her father and the Shepherds to fend for themselves against the Risen in their vicinity.
After the battle…
"It seems all the creatures are vanquished. This young man took care of the others," Frederick comments, Lucina having dispatched the other Risen attempting to attack the Shepherds. She doesn't say anything to them.
"Um, I never got to thank you…for before. So…thank you. You were very brave," Lissa thanks her, curtseying.
"You saved my sister's life. My name is Chrom. Might I ask yours?"
She hesitates, not sure how to reply to this. If she tells him her real name, this could mess her plans up. Taking a shaky breath, hoping they didn't hear it, she utters the name. "You may call me Marth."
Next chapter will be about her in Regna Ferox :D I'll probably fix this chapter up later.
