Premonition: Invisible Ties
It starts with Chrom facing the evil man. No matter how many times we attack the man kept reflecting his attack.
"Up there!" Chrom yells
"You Fools!" The evil man yells as he chants dark spells to Chrom.
Luckily, I manage to chant a lightning spell to deflect the dark man looks at me. Then, the man runs into the throne room. We chase after him.
Normal POV
They reach the throne room. Chrom stops for a moment and turns to his partner.
"This is it! Our final battle!" Chrom said to his partner , "You're one of us, Robin, and no "destiny" can change that." He smile at Robin, then made a stern look, "Now let's kill this bastard and be done with it!"
They began to approach the enemy.
"We have to get close to him!" Chrom states, choosing the best course of action, " Robin go ahead of me." Robin runs past Chrom.
The evil man, Validar chuckles darkly," Hahaha! Why do you resist?" Validar decide to let his enemy get closer.
Chrom sees an opening, "Good, he's almost within reach. Let's move in and strike!" Chrom charge at Validar and began his attack.
Validar laughs,"Gya ha ha! Fools! Struggle all you want! You cannot unwrite what is already written!"
Chrom attacked Validar, however, Validar striked Chrom with his Dark Magic.
Robin the began the strike with Chrom. Using Thoron on Validar. Validar took a great deal of damage.
When Validar counter Robin to the same damage.
Now the final attack phase arrive.
Chrom attacks with Robin's support and put the final blow in Validar.
Robin POV
Validar falls to ground defeated and fading in to darkness. Chrom turns and approaches me with a smile, I smiled back.
"It's not over yet!" I see Validar charge a final spell and shot aim at Chrom and I, "Damn you Both!" He fires he spell.
I acted fast and pushed Chrom out of the way. Fortunately, I was the only hit. For a moment, I saw a flash and fell to the ground. My vision blurred for a bit. Chrom runs to me concerned.
"You alright?" He said helping me up. He shows me the remains of Validar vanish into nothing. "That's the end of him."
I look to him. He looks back at me. "Thanks to you we save the can rest easy now."
I look to the ground relieved.
All of the sudden,
Red
Arghh…What am I..
Red
Why am I seeing red?
Red
What's happening?
Red
"At long last … " I barely caught what Chrom said to himself. As he helps me up.
Red
It hurt...
Red
I look at Chrom distress.
Red
He notice me.
Red
"What's wrong?"
My body began to move on it's own.
"Hey. Hey hold on-" Chrom stumbles back .
The Red vision stop and notice a spear of lightning impaled him.
I looked at my hand, with the reminisce of lighting visible.
What… What have I done?!
I look at him, he looks back at me.
"This is not- your fault…" He struggles to say.
He grits his teeth in pain, "Promise me you will escape from this place…"
He took another breath for his final words.
"Please… go..."
Chrom falls to the floor dead.
I can't believe it.
Why did I kill my friend?
I back away and I heard a dark laugh.
Getting louder and louder.
Then, darkness consumed me.
Prolouge: The Verge of History
I heard a voice.
"Chrom, we have to do SOMETHING." the high pitched voice said
I slowly open my eyes, two figure standing above me. It's a bit blurry.
"What do you purpose we do?" a deeper voice said
"I...I dunno…" the other answer.
I open eyes again and saw a boy and girl clearly.
They hover over me.
"I see you're awake now" The male said
The female smile at me, "Hey there."
"There're better place to take a nap than on the ground, you know." I look at him.
He extends his hand, "Give me your hand."
I accepted his offer, he pulls me up and smiled.
Smiled, at me, a stranger.
"You all right?" he questions.
I smiled "Y-yes… Thank you, Chrom."
Wait... is that his name? How do I know his name?!
"Ah, then you know who I am?" Chrom asks
So it is his name. Wait, I don't know him. Why do I know his name, I met him just now!
He looking at me for an explanation. How do I explain this?
I took a small breath, "No, actually. I … It's strange… Your name, it just …. came to me…"
I could of done better at explaining. *mental sigh*
"... Hmm, how curious." He doesn't look offended by it, "Tell me, what's your name? What brings you here?"
"Um." What's my name?! "My name is … It's…" Small headache from thinking my name, "Hmm?"
I draw a blank on my name… Shit.
He looks at me curiously, "... You don't know your own name?"
Crap, He caught on! "I'm not sure if…" Maybe I can avoid it with another question *mental fist pump* "I'm sorry , but where am I, exactly?" Perfect.
"What?!" The girl shrieks, "Hey, I've heard of this! It's called amnesia!"
Yes, I'm save! Thanks girl I met 2 seconds ago.
"It's called a load of Pegasus dung." A taller male from behind answer. He also crush my hopes in 2 seconds. "We're to believe you remember milord's name, but not you own?"
Yep, that's exactly what I'm trying to say, "B-but it's the truth!"
Chrom steps in, "... What if it IS true, Frederick? we can't just leave her here, alone and confused." *mental tears of joy* Chrom, the heavens must of brought you here today. You can be a prince charming from those fairy tale books. "What sort of Shepherds would we be then?" He asks. Yeah what kind of Shepherds would you be then? *mental yell* Wait a minute. Shepherds?
"Just the same, milord, I must emphasize caution."Frederick answers. "Twould not do to let a wolf into our flock." I am not an animal!
"Right then- we'll take her back to town and sort this out there." Chrom decided
Mhmm, go to town and- "Huuuhhh?! Wait just one moment. Do I have a say in this?"
Chrom puts a hand on my shoulder, "Peace, friend-I promise we'll hear all you have to say back in town. Now come."
I mentally sigh and gave in.
A few minutes down the road later…
I gather up all of my courage to ask an important questions along the way as we walk, "What will you do with me? am I to be your prisoner?" Because I am really scared right now.
Chrom chuckles, "You'll be free to go once we establish you're no enemy of Ylisse."
*a breath of relief* Chrom you're a good person *mental tears of joy* Ylisse, huh.
"Is that where we are? Ylisse" I ask
"You've never heard of the halidom?" Frederick ask sharply, I break into cold sweat, "Ha someone pay this actress. She plays quite the fool! The furrowed brow is especially convincing..." I feel like frederick is the wolf among sheep and a jerk…
"Frederick, please." Chrom said in a calm manner. He turns to me and began to explain, "This land is known as the Halidom of Ylisse. Our ruler, Emmeryn, is called the exalt." He took a moment in thought, "I suppose proper introductions are in order…" He looks back at me, "My name is Chrom-but then, you already knew that." He motion a hand to the girl, "The delicate one here is my little sister, Lissa."
Lissa pouts at Chrom, "I am NOT delicate!... Hmph!" She turns to me, "Ignore my brother, please. He can be a bit thick sometimes." He seems normal to me. "But you're lucky the shepherds found you. Brigands would've been a rude awakening!" She gleefully said.
Another question came to mind about there Shepherd status, "Shepherds? You tend sheep?" I look all of them, "... In full armor?"
Chrom smirk, "Heh, it's a dangerous job. Just ask Frederick the Wary here."
"A title I shall wear with pride. Gods forbid one of us keeps an appropriate level of caution." or as being an ass. "I have every wish to trust you, stranger, but my station mandates otherwise." Okay, maybe he is not an ass, just a loyal man to his job.
"Yeah, I understand, sire. I would do no less myself." Nice comeback. "My name is Robin." I stop for moment, Frederick narrow his eyes at me, shit, stay calm Robin act natural, "... I just remembered that. How odd. I suppose that's one mystery solved." and not to get me killed.
"Robin? Is that foreign?" He looks at me curiously, "... Ah well. We can discuss it later." He said to me as we are walking, "We're almost to town. Once we-"
"Chrom, look! The town!" Lissa pointed.
We all look at Lissa direction to see smoke coming from the town.
I'm frighten at the sight.
"Damn it! The town is ablaze! Those blasted brigands, no doubt…" Chrom turns to Frederick and Lissa, "Frederick, Lissa! Quickly!" He gets ready to leave
"Milord! What about her?" Frederick pointed to me.
"Unless, she's on fire as well, it can wait!" Chrom answer a bit harsh to Frederick. I feel a bit offended by the comment, but brush it off. Chrom is right, the town is more important than me.
"Aptly put, milord."
"Let's go already!" Lissa impatiently yells.
May I can help, "But what about-" They run off to town before I finish asking, "Haa,"I sigh in confusion, but what can I do? Then the thought hit me, "Hmm" I rub my fingers under my chin as I thought. I look in my cloak and saw things I am not expecting. I look at the direction of the town. Took a deep breath and began to sprint to town.
Normal POV
The town is in despair.
Brigands are spread through the town.
The leader laughs to at the scene,
"Gwa ha ha! Get to it Lads! Grab anything shiny, and put the rest to the torch! We got an example to set for these Ylissean typess!" He turns to a young maiden, "Ain't that right lass?"
He touches her face and she screams,
"S-stay away from me! Please! someone! HEEEEEEELP!"
Chrom, Lissa, and Frederick arrive.
"Chrom, we have to stop them!" Lissa shouts.
"Don't Worry- after today, these bandits won't be bothering anyone ever again..." Chrom said sternly.
Just when they about to charge at the bandits, Robin runs in front of them.
"Chrom, Wait!" She pleads and catches her breath from a long sprint.
Chrom is shock, "Robin! You Followed us! Why?"
"I.. I'm not certain myself." Robin said, "But I'm armed, and I know my way around a fight, if you'll have me." She looks at him determined.
Chrom nodded, "Of course-strength in numbers. Just stay close!"
Frederick turns to Robin, "Remember, Robin, we face practiced thieves and murders. They will grant us no quarter. It's Kill or be Killed."
Robin took a deep breath, "Got it! I have a plan how we can attack them."They look at Robin, " All I ask you, is to trust me on this." She looks at them for answer.
Chrom and Frederick agreed with out any objection.
Lissa nods at Robin, "Let's see who delicate! I may not be able to attack like Chrom, but when you get injured? I'LL be the one stitching you bones back together, care of my trusty staff! you just Tell me where to go Robin"
The group then went into battle position the battle began.
Robin initiate her tactic, "Frederick attack the Swordsman from behind, Chrom I need you to approach the Axeman, and attack if you are in a good range. Lissa stay follow behind either Frederick, Chrom, or I. Lastly, I will do the same as Chrom and attack when it is possible."
The Shepherd did as they were Left to initiate the attack on the enemy
Chrom notice something before he went to his position, " So Robin, I see you wear a sword. Is it-" He notice another thing, "Wait is that a tome? … You know magic?"
"I… believe so?" robin answers, 'When I check my cloak early, they were there.' She sighs to herself, "I suppose I should check." She murmured
"You believe so?" Chrom raised a brow to her, "Perhaps I'll just keep a few paces behind you for the time being…" He gets ready to accompany Robin.
"No, I can control it. I'm sure." She said in calm and confident way. 'Maybe I should mess with the weapons a bit to remember' "Now, How did this work again?" She began swing the sword back and forth in an unfashioned matter, like a kid pretending a twig is a sword. She began to read the tome and butchered every word on the first page. Chrom is have a small doubt in her, but also worry that she might hurt herself, "Ah, yes…" She looks at Chrom, "Don't worry Chrom, just stick to the plan and it should work out." She smile and runs into the battlefield. Leaving Chrom dumbfounded. Chrom then enter the battlefield.
During the first phase of Robin's plan, Frederick manage to defeat the swordsman with ease, Liss followed behind Frederick, Chrom and Robin were not able to attack the axemen but they distracted him.
The enemy began their counter attack, the axemen manage to damage Robin a bit and a mage makes haste to the shepherds location.
Now it is the Second phase,
"Is anyone hurt?" Chrom ask "I would be foolish to leave a wound untreated."
Robin approaches Chrom, "Indeed. Timely use of the staff or a vulnerary should prevent the worst." She said holding her side.
Chrom helps her, but the axemen spots them.
Robin turns to Chrom, "We should deal with him first, before we treat the wound."
Chrom nods and he charges at the axemen.
Meanwhile Frederick kills the approaching mage and Lissa heals Robin's wound.
Robin manage to practice the sword for a moment to gain weapon proficiency before backing up Frederick.
The enemy sends their last swordsman, the swordsman attacks Frederick, but Frederick ends him with ease.
Now its the leader that is left.
The third phase of the plan
"Still with us, Robin?" Chrom ask as he meets up with the group again.
"Hmm.. it's strange." She thought for a moment before confessing to Chrom, "Here on the battlefield, I can…" She took a breath, "well, I can "see" things."
"See things? Like what?" Chrom asks
"The enemy's strength, their weaponry, the flow of battle…" Robin pause for a moment, "I must have studied this somewhere."
"So, you're saying you can size up the enemy at a glance? Like before" Chrom implied
"Yep, it would seem so. And maybe more, if I apply myself…"
Now it is time to approaches the leader of the brigands.
The enemy didn't counter since the leader is only one left standing.
Last phase
"Are you alright, Robin? Don't rush into danger." Chrom warns.
"Chill, I'm fine Chrom. Don't worry." She said
Chrom smile back, "You've lent us your strenght and that makes you a friend. Having an ally by my side gives me courage."
Robin blush a bit from the comment and rubs the back of her hair, "Well… Thank you, but… I think there's is more to it than that."
"Hmph? What do you mean?" Chrom ask.
"I believe there's a tactical advantage to fighting side by side…" Robin though how to describe it, "It's fuzzy… Wait, yes: working in pairs improves strength, defense, speed… Yes, Yes, I'm sure of it!" She turns to Chrom, "Chrom you charge for the leader and I will back you up!" She chirped.
Chrom blinked for a moment to process the info, "Alright, let's do it." He agrees and charged for the Leader.
Meanwhile, Frederick found a whirlwind and Lissa follows behind Frederick.
Back to Chrom and Robin,
They reach the Leader, "Here, Sheepy sheepy! Come to the Slaughter!" The leader taunts.
Chrom and Robin did an amazing combo of sword and magic defeating the Leader.
The battle ended with the Shepherds as heroes.
Robin takes a breath, "Well That's the end of that."
Lissa comes up , "Lucky for the town, we were close by. But holy wow, Robin! You were incredible! Swords, sorcery, AND tactics! Is there anything you can't do?"
'Getting back my memories...' Robin thought to herself
"You're certainly no helpless victim, that much is for sure." Chrom adds
"Indeed. Perhaps you might even be capable of an explanation for how you came here?"
Robin eye twitch at Frederick comment, "I understand you skepticism, Sir Frederick. And I cannot explain why only some knowledge has returned to me." She takes a breath and looks at him, "But please, believe me. I have shared all that I know."
"You fought to save Ylissean lives. My heart says thats enough." Chrom smiles at Robin
Frederick butts in, "And your mind, milord? Will you not heed its counsel as well?"
"Frederick, the Shepherds could use someone with Robin's talents." Chrom said
'Huh?' Robin stared blanking at Chrom comment for a moment.
"We've brigands and unruly neighbors, all looking to bloody our soil. Would you really have us lose such an able tactician?" Chrom continue.
'Tactician? Me?' Robin kept thinking to herself.
"Besides, I believe her story, odd as it might be." Chrom finish
'He believes me.' Robin smile to herself, "T-Thank you, Chrom." She said
"So how about it? Will you join us Robin?" Chrom offers.
" I would be honored." Robin said, 'Beside, I don't have anywhere else to go, so might as well.'
After a few moments checking the civilians into are Okay.
Frederick brings up an issuing matter, "Did you notice, milord? The Brigands spoke with a plegian accent."
"Huh? Plegian? What's that?" Robin ask
Chrom fills her in, "Plegia is Ylisse's westernly neighbor. They send small bands into our territory, hoping to instigate a war."
Lissa sighs, "And it's poor townsfolk who suffer! Totally innocent, and totally helpless…"
"They do have us, milady: shepherds to protect the sheep. Do not be swept up in your anger. It will cloud your judgement." Frederick adds.
"I know, I know…" Lissa acknowledge, "Don't worry. I'll get used to all of this." She said pumped up.
Then a villager comes over to the group, "Milord, please! You must stay the night! We are simple folks of simple means, but we would gladly toast your valor with a feast!" The villager declares.
Frederick refuses on behalf of the group immediately, "A most generous offer, sir, and no doubt the your hospitality would be grand… But I'm afraid we must hurry back to Ylisstol."
Lissa didn't hear the memo and started list a meal she wanted, then realize Frederick decline, "Wait, what?! We're not saying?! By the time we leave, it will be dark!"
"When night falls, we'll camp. Eat off the land, make our bed of twigs and the like… I believe you mention you would be "getting used to this"?" Frederick answers with a Sweet smile.
'Frederick is a wolf in disguise.' Robin thought to herself with a sweat drop.
"Frederick? Sometimes I hate you."
'I agree Lissa.' Robin thought, "You've quite the stern lieutenant there." Robin blurted
"Yeah, well, "stern" is one name for it." I can think of a few others!" Lissa pouted.
"Fredrick only smiles when he's about to bring down the axe." Chrom adds
"Duly noted." Robin said.
*Ahem* "You do realize I AM still present?" Frederick turns to Robin and Chrom.
"Oh, we realize." Chrom smirks
"Heh heh." Robin laughs.
"Milord remains as amusing as ever. Now then, shall we be going?" Frederick ask.
"All right, all right." Chrom turns Robin, "Ready to go, Robin? The capital isn't far."
"Yep. I'm ready." Robin answer.
And so the Shepherds makes their way into the forest for the night along with their newest member Robin.
