Author's Note: No, I am not abandoning Robin x Lucina. I was just itching to write this because it can go many ways. Or paths! HAHAHA! Okay, no more Fates jokes. Also, I have igNOHRed a few happenings in the games like certain deaths. This takes place after ReVALLAtion and Awakening. Too many Fates puns. My dialogue is still bad; sorry.
The robed figure laughed maniacally, yet with glee as the figure in front of him crumpled to the ground in a kneel.
"NO!" The figure on the ground screamed "I'LL SERVE YOU! I'LL DO WHATEVER YOU WISH!" The robed figure pondered this for a moment. He could use a powerful mage on his side like the one kneeling before him, however, he knew his history and knew it would be a poor choice to keep him alive. And yet, he would want revenge on those he nearly lost his life to. He himself had the vengeance factor burning through his veins. The decision was made.
"Okay," Iago said calmly "You may serve me." Excellus sighed with relief, beginning a plot to defeat Iago, but Iago wasn't finished. "You must allow me to follow the procedure to…. evaluate you on your loyalty." Excellus mumbled something. He was sure this procedure would be quite painful. But he would only remain loyal to himself. Iago seemed to have read his mind. "Ah, yes! She had the same thoughts you did, and yet, she serves me now with no doubts. There will be no treachery left in your soul." Excellus gulped one more time before chasing after Iago who was walking down a flight of spiraling stone stairs.
Robin's eyes winked open. He was sure he had just seen a vision of something important. He closed his eyes once more, remembering the events that had just occurred. Rovin couldn't truly hope that he was back. Then the familiar voices spoke.
"Chrom. We have to do something!"
"What do you propose we do?"
"I - I dunno." Robin's eyes flickered back open, his heart beating faster than ever.
"I see you're awake now" Chrom said.
"Hey there!" Lissa giggled.
"There are better places to take a nap then on the ground you know. Give me your hand." Chrom smiled, offering his hand. Robin took it with excitement. After he stood, Chrom had his attention by saying, "Welcome back. It's over now." And Robin fell back to the ground with joy. Chrom grabbed his hand, helping him up again. Robin shook his head, and asked Chrom "Where are the others?" Chrom laughed. "Back at Ylisstol or traveling the world. Inigo, Severa, and Owain left about a year ago without telling anyone."
Lissa pouted "That gave their mothers quite the fright." Robin stopped smiling.
"No... I mean from Hoshido, Nohr, and Valla." Chrom raised his eyebrows.
"You're the second person to bring that up to me in the past decade. The details are fuzzy, but I recall a man known as Prince Corrin talking about those countries of old to me, just before we found you." Chrom thought aloud. Robin looked as if someone electrocuted him.
"You've met Corrin!?" He said, flabbergasted. Chrom stared at him with intensity.
"You've met Corrin? Gods, I was hoping when we found you it would be a joyous occasion, not a confusing one." Chrom moaned. Robin squinted and searched the surrounding field for anyone. His eyes landed on a foot sticking up in the air. As he ran closer, he noticed it was a pile of limbs. Nearly everybody from Hoshido and Nohr was there.
They were just missing… "Where's Corrin?" Robin asked the pile of limbs. A voice rang out "We don't know where Corrin is." someone bellowed. A few more limbs became tangled in the mess. Lissa was pushing everyone aside, searching for her son. Eventually, the limbs separated into an army of people.
"Anyone care to explain why we are here?" Xander asked. Chrom glared at him.
"That's what I wanted to know." He stated.
Robin stood up above the crowd and shouted "Everyone, SHUT UP!" The all glanced up at him, hoping for an explanation. "Corrin assembled us all and took us through the portal because he was sure that the dreams I was having weren't false. I saw the remnants of our enemies amassing and attacking this world. I was sure I saw another vision just as we entered this world, leading me to believe we are on the right track. Just follow Chrom as we march to Ylisstol. I'm sure he can find a place to accommodate you. Chrom sighed, knowing that he would be expected to put them in the castle.
Author's Note: Yes I know that Excellus' gender is questionable, I chose based on the voice actor. I also know that Excellus and Iago are dead. I also know there were only three pearls to transport Inigo, Severa, and Owain back to this world. I also know this chapter wasn't as good as I was hoping. I also know this has gone on for too long. Please tell me who you would like Robin's wife to be and who you would like to be a pairing more, Inigo x Severa or Owain x Severa. I need that info for the next chapter. Thank you.
