Waiting for Her
Summary: When Robin sacrificed herself to Grima, everyone was in despair. But no matter how much the rest of the Shepards felt it, none felt it like Stahl. He had not lost only a friend, but his wife as well. He wished she was back, but he couldn't do anything. Anything but wait.
Me: I hope you like the story! Oh, by the way, I describe Robin as my character, so I hope thats okay.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fire Emblem Awaking.
Stahl always had a smile on, no matter what. Now he faced the worst time in his life, but he still surpassed a smile even though it was hard. His only hope rested on Naga's words, 'The bonds might bring her back.' He hoped that that was the case, that his beautiful wife was still out there, soon to come home.
When the kingdom of Yilssee had had two years if peace, Stahl would go home after his work at the castle and be greeted by his wife. She would have supper all ready on the table. When supper was done and the dishes had been washed, she would sit by the table and sew while talking to Stahl. Now it was all different.
When Stahl came home, his wife did not come to greet him. Instead he would go inside to see his son Morgan reading by the table. He and Morgan would exchange a few words before looking in the cupboards for anything eatable. Then the would wash the two dishes they had used and go to bed.
When Stahl got into the double bed, he would sigh. He wished his wife was there. And when he waked in the morning, he would hope to see her blond locks lying around her as the sun beamed though the window, but he was always disappointed.
After a quick breakfast, if there had been anything to eat, Stahl would say good-bye to Morgan and go to the castle. He knew that everyone there was worried about him, they always seemed tense when he was in the room and he had over heard a conversation or two.
He had been patrolling around the halls of the castle. When he turned the corner, he saw the exalt and his wife.
"I've been worried about him," Sumia said. "Have you seen how thin he is?"
Stahl had seen Chrom nod. "I know, what you mean Sum, he doesn't seem to get enough to eat."
Stahl walked away, he didn't need to know the rest. 'I don't want food,' he thought. 'I want my wife.'
Another conversation he had heard had been between his best friend, Vaike, and his wife, Cordelia.
"What's wrong Vaike?" Cordelia asked.
"Nothin'," Vaike replied. "I'm just thinking."
"About what?"
"Bout' Stahl."
"What about him?"
"He's not himself. He smiles, yeah, but its all fake. He is just, well..."
"Not himself?"
"Yeah!"
Stahl didn't bother listening to the rest of the conversation, it was just another 'Stahl you've changed' speech. How could they except him to be himself? He tried, he really did, but he had lost his wife! Couldn't they see that?
No, they couldn't. All the Shepards were sad about the loss of their tactician. But that was it, their tactician. It wasn't their wife, the person they loved more then anything, it was the tactician, the friend.
But no matter what the others thought, Stahl tried not to let it bother him. All he cared about was his wife, he needed her back. If he never saw her and her blond hair, her aqua green eyes again, he would have nothing to live for. He wished there was something for him to do, but there wasn't. All he could do was wait, wait until his wife came back, if she came back. No, she would come back.
She had to come back, no matter how long it took, Stahl would wait for her.
Me: I tried not to mention the Avatar's name so you could imagine it as your character, I hope it was okay.
Anyway...
Happy Writing!
