Chrom and Frederick were walking ahead of Lissa, who was struggling to keep up with the two men; they were heading back to the capital where their sister was waiting for them. Emmeryn had hoped war would be avoidable that might not have been the case.
"Can you two slow down please, I can't walk as fast as you two!" Lissa complained.
"Your just slow, not my fault" Chrom joked chuckling at her huffs. She continued walked towards them put something caught her eye, she turned and saw a woman lying on the ground, she was wearing a mostly black robe, she looked ready for battle, but why would she be asleep if she is battling, could she be hurt.
"Guys there's a person here" she pointed.
"C'mon Lissa, just because you can't keep-wait there is someone there" Chrom rushed over to Lissa and this person.
Frederick followed.
"Who is she?" Lissa asked.
"What should we do?" asked Chrom.
"Chrom we have to do something!" Lissa insisted
"What do you propose we do?" he questioned.
"ER…I don't know" she panicked.
The woman opened her eyes letting out a breath; they both turn and look down at her leaning closer.
"Ah, I see you're awake now" Chrom stated to her.
"Hey there" Lissa spoke
"There are better places to take a nap than on the ground you know" Chrom spoke to her.
"Give me your hand" he reached out, the woman took it, he pulled her up and her hood fell down as she stood.
Brown long hair fell down from behind her. She looked into Chrom's eyes with her own brown ones, his breath against her own, he smiled at her, and she stared at him.
"There better?" he asked.
"Yes…than you Chrom" she replied, he smiled surprised.
"Oh you know who I am?" he asked.
"Err…well no, I don't know how I know your name" she replied looking confused.
"So, what's your name then?" Chrom asked.
"Um…I…I don't know" she answered (what is wrong with me, I know his name not my own). Frederick frowned moving between them.
"Sire I believe this could be a false giving, she could be a spy feigning memory loss." He glared at her.
"Well we can't just leave her here, we shall take her to the nearest village," he told them. They began heading towards the village but the woman stopped tying her hair up, then stopping. They turned to her.
"Robin" she stated.
"Huh?" Chrom stared confused.
"My name…is Robin"
"Is that foreign? Hmm, nice name" he smiled.
"Sir I request you keep distance, she may still be the enemy" Frederick made his presence known. Standing close to Robin with a fierce look, she stared at him unsurely. They continued to the village, noticing fires from afar.
"No, the village is under attack" Lissa shouted, Chrom set into action running towards the village hastily, Frederick following closely behind. Robin ran from afar to catch up with Lissa. Men were attacking the village; they looked rough but stupid, although their swords didn't look anything but scary.
"Frederik, Lissa you know what we must do" Chrom stated, they readied their weapons.
"Robin stay back," Chrom told her. She nodded.
They fought on however, Chrom found himself surrounded. Lissa and Frederick could reach him with there being too many in front of them.
One of the men went to attack only for him to block them with his sword. Another came running to his back, he pushed the other guy off and swiped at the ruffian, then in the corner of his eye he spotting someone coming towards him, turning ready to block he noticed another the side of him, he couldn't react quick enough. Suddenly a bright light flashes and Chrom covered his eyes unable to see very well. He opened his eyes to see Robin standing in front of him book in one hand the other sparking away.
"Damn they brought a witch with them!" one of the ruffians announced.
"Robin?" Chrom spoke surprised.
"Stand ready more come" she spoke to him positioning herself ready for a fight.
"Yeah" he readied himself.
"They will try to surround us from the left since there is less room to move from the right, cornering us, so if I go to the right and you go left they can't pin us down" she spoke to him.
"How do you know that?" he asked.
"I'm unsure but I know it will work trust me please" she pleaded. He took a chance on her and noticed she was right they cornered her but then he was able to flank them, she had told the truth.
"You're a tactician?" he asked her while fighting.
"I believe so, kind of like muscle memory, instincts maybe" she explained.
They fought hard and the enemy eventually were routed. Once the flames and people had settled Chrom turned to Lissa and Frederick.
"I'm gonna ask her to join us" he announced. Frederick pulled a face, Lissa smiled.
"He's not approving" she joked.
"No I am not, she could be the enemy" he stated.
"I know you think that. she saved my life. I would have died if she hadn't had been there" he explained his reasoning.
"But sir-"
"No Frederick I trust her. Ah, there she is" he wandered off. Lissa smiled at him.
"Aw don't be like that, he's got a new friend" she chuckled, heading towards them. Frederick followed begrudging the choice.
"So what do you say?" Chrom spoke, Robin smiled.
"You herd sheep?" she asked.
"I guess, yeah you could say that sorting out ruffians and bad guys" he laughed.
"Okay, well why not" she replied. He smiled very brightly.
"Brilliant then we shall head to the capital" Chrom stated.
They headed towards the capital, the sun began setting and it was getting fairly dark,
"I think we should set up camp" Frederick stated.
"Yes, let's get some firewood" he motioned to Lissa who sighed.
"I hate getting firewood" Lissa complained. Chrom laughed and walked on with her trailing behind.
"You can help me hunt them," Frederick stated to Robin who nodded.
While they went to collect firewood Robin and Frederick killed and prepared food and set up camp, very simple just sleeping bags.
"So, are you gonna kill us in the night?" Frederick asked causing Robin to snap the twig she was fiddling with.
"No…" she didn't know how to answer his question, she'd assumed it was obvious.
"Hmm okay well be aware, I'm watching you. I'll know your next moves before you do" he threatened. She smiled, he stared confused.
"What!?" he grumbled
"He's lucky to have you" she stated standing brushing herself down. Suddenly the ground shook heavily, they both turned to see a massive flame in the distance, the direction Chrom and Lissa had gone. Frederick stood, he noticed Robin began running already leaving him alone. He smiled to himself.
"Maybe she's okay" he muttered to himself following her.
Enemies fell from the skies as Chrom and Lissa ran, Chrom turned to fight them only for them to just walk off his stabs. Lissa ran away only to be cut off by a stone boulder wall. An enemy came towards her, only to be stopped as a young blue-haired man came flying from the sky and blocked the attack, saving her life. Chrom froze in shock only to be knocked out of it by him being shouted at by the man.
"Don't just stare. FIGHT!"
Frederick and Robin reached Chrom and Lissa fighting off enemies along with the young blue haired lad.
"Be careful they are undead!" Chrom shouted to them. Robin stopped as one swiped towards her, she jumped back dodging his sword. Frederick slide in lance in hand knocking him flying and disappearing into nothing.
"Careful, you'll lose your head" he stated continuing forward. Robin nodded moving forward.
Once they routed all of the enemies they stopped and looked at the young man who had saved Lissa.
"War is upon you, peace cannot be attained, this is your warning" the blue haired man began walking away.
"Who are you?" asked Chrom
"Marth" he stated.
"Like the hero king?" he commented.
"Yes"
"Sire are you okay? and you milady?" Frederick interrupted with his concerns for the other.
"Yes, we are" Chrom turned to them giving a thumb up. They turned to realise Marth was gone.
"He's gone" Lissa spoke shocked. They headed back to camp to settle for the night.
While sitting down Frederick cooked bear meat for tea. Lissa gaped at the idea of bear; Chrom ate quietly thinking about what Marth had said.
"Eww, how can you eat that?!" Lissa choked at the thought. Chrom looked at her confused
"What's wrong it's good meat" he muttered through the food chomping down. Frederick had chosen not to eat leaving only Chrom and Robin to eat the food.
"Robin, you're a lady, you can't possibly wanna eat…this" Lissa stared on as Robin devoured a second serving of meat.
"I'm sorry?" Robin replied looking up from the food.
"Nothing, I guess any food from none in who knows how long would be welcome" she mumbled. Chrom laughed hard.
"You should be more grateful for food" he joked. She laughed with him jesting with her.
"Funny" she laughed.
They settled for the night, the morning came quickly, Frederick awoke Lissa, and Chrom woke just before.
"Morning" Lissa spoke, she noticed Robin was gone.
"Um…did you kill her for trying to kill us?" Lissa asked, Chrom pulled a face then looked where she was looking to, noticing Robin's sleeping bag wrapped up and tidied away ready to go.
"Frederick?" he questioned. Frederick turned to them noticing what they were talking about.
"Oh no she's washing down at the river" he explained.
"Oh okay, well are we heading out, I'm gonna wash at the castle we aren't far right?"
"No about a couple hours away, it's early so we should get there by noon," Frederick told her. She began getting her stuff ready.
"I'll go get her then" Chrom stated, standing up to head towards the river where she was said to be.
Frederick nodded and began getting everything else ready including Chrom's stuff.
Chrom walked through the forest until he got the river, Robin was sitting by the stream, and she wasn't wearing her robes, just her top, and trousers. He approached slowly not trying to spook her into zapping him.
"I know your there" she stated sitting still not even facing him. He walked over.
"How'd you know" he questioned.
"Well for one I can smell you downstream if you hope to not be spotted smelling like that stay downstream from the enemy." She stated he winced, she seemed unhappy.
"Remember anything else?" he asked her sincerely.
"No…just my name, not who I am, where I am from…nothing" she grumbled.
"Oh, I'm sorry" he stated. This seemed to snap her out of her mood she turned to him wide-eyed.
"Why apologise, it's not like you can help it" she spoke softly, he caught her attitude change.
"Did you sleep well?" he asked.
"Better than expected, I guess fighting people tires you out more than I thought" the truth of it was that she slept awful it's the reason she was up so early.
"Well we are packing camp and heading to the castle, you can meet my sister-the exalt-the ruler of Ylisse" he stood offering her a hand; she took it and got up.
"I look forward to it." she smiled.
They packed up and headed back to the kingdom upon their arrival the people rejoiced to see them, peace within the city was evident.
"This…it's so peaceful" Robin commented as the got to the castle grounds.
"Yeah, peace was achieved eventually I guess" Lissa stated, Robin looked on confused by the meaning behind it, however, chose not to press.
The entered the main hall, there stood a tall woman, in very formal robes, beautiful long blonde hair. Robin stood behind them in awe of this powerful woman.
"Sister, we have news"
"As do I" she stated, her voice gentle.
They conversed as Robin had an internal panic (how many people wake up not having a clue about anything, then just like meets the whole royal family, like seriously what do I even say to a queen)
"Who is your friend?" Robin's ears perked to this question, knowing she meant her.
"Oh yes, this is Robin, we found her passed out in the fields and she helped us get back here safely, I appointed her to join the shepherd, plus she's an excellent tactician" Chrom pull Robin's hand placing her in front of the queen.
"Err…hi" she waved shyly, the queen smiled.
"Hello, I'm Emmeryn, it is a pleasure, my brother says you helped them, thank you" she bowed; Robin panicked massively not knowing what to do.
"Um sister, please the meeting we must attend?" Chrom distracted her sister reminding her of the meeting they must attend.
"Brilliant I'll take Robin to meet the others" Lissa pulled Robin's wrist leading her away from them.
Once downstairs Lissa stopped, there stood two women, one of them in armour that was a pink shade the other formal dressed.
"This is Maribelle, my best friend" Lissa smiled brightly, she then motioned towards the brown-haired woman
"This is Sumia, she is Chrom's-"
"Friend, we are good friends" she stated loudly, clearly shocked by the sudden statement Lissa laughed.
"Um, maybe we shouldn't shout at guests dear" Maribelle suggested to her.
"I'm sorry for shouting." Sumia bowed and apologised
"So anyway, this is Robin, she's our new tactician!" Lissa announced gesturing to her.
"Oh well welcome to the shepherds" Sumia smiled at her.
"Where did you find her?" Maribelle asked. Robin felt very much under scrutiny.
"In a field!" Lissa laughed, Maribelle pulled a scowl and then looked at Robin.
"Are you common?" she growled.
"Hardly" Chrom's voice entered the room.
"Oh Chrom, aren't you nice, she is very normal" Lissa stated.
"No, she's really not" he laughed.
"Ha-ha true" Robin laughed.
"Why is this funny" Maribelle asked.
"We found her sleeping in a field" Chrom pointed out to them.
"SLEEPING!" Maribelle's face turned sour.
"Oooh maybe shouldn't have told her that" Lissa stated.
"Oh, Chrom it's nice to have you back in one piece" Sumia spoke up distracting the situation. She moved forward to only fall at Robin's feet, Chrom looked at Robin look at her.
"You could help her up you know" he smirked at her.
"Oh" Robin jumped a little then helped pull Sumia up.
"Thank you" she smiled embarrassedly.
"Your boots again?" Chrom asked.
"Yeah. You could say they keep falling for you-because of you, ugh" she looked away bright red.
"Ha maybe it's the fact they didn't give you the right size" he suggested.
"Hmm maybe, she were with me when I got them, you didn't help me dispute it"
"You bought them"
"You could have told me not to"
"Not really my fault you did"
"Um well, Robin I like your robes, where'd you buy them" she changed the subject.
Robin who had been being grilled by Maribelle turned and looked at her.
"I don't know" she stated.
"You are unsure what it was called?" she asked.
"No, I don't remember how I got these clothes" she explained.
"What!" Maribelle's voice heard in the background.
"She kinda of has amnesia" Chrom explained.
"so for all you could know we have possibly kidnapped someone important from another kingdom" Maribelle spoke with reason, it was true Chrom didn't know who she was before meeting her, but he liked who she seemed to be, a friend.
"She's fine, she's our ally" Chrom stated sure of himself.
"Ok well, she can watch your back" she huffed walking away.
"Okay well that's sorted we are heading to Ferox. We are going to discuss an alliance with them for soldiers for our cause"
"Alright, we shall prepare." Chrom told them.
"We will leave at dawn, so rest well" Chrom spoke.
Later that night Robin couldn't sleep decided to go for a walk. She strolled through the grounds. The Castle was huge, only one night to be treated like royalty before going back to camping, made her wish this could be her life all the time.
"Someday, I'll know where I am from" she assured herself. Sighing she headed to bed ready for the next morning journey.
