Chapter 1 of my fan fiction of Fire Emblem Awakening! Tales of the Amazingly Stupid! Hopefully you guys will like it, because WHOA did this take long!
"ROBIN…!" called her evil father from downstairs, now disrupted from her studies of becoming a better spell caster. The sudden angry tone caused Robin to cringe so surprisingly that she dropped the tome she was practicing with and accidentally shot a thunder bolt at the lamp on her desk.
"Robin!" He shouted once more, "Get your arse down here before I come up there and-" "I am COMING, FATHER!" Yeesh, anything to make that guy shut up…
Robin made her way down the stairs, but not before grabbing her Thunder tome, and her Bronze Sword, but as she was walking down the stairs, she remembered why exactly she was being called down, Oh… Right… Grocery Shopping… "Yes, father?" She bit her cheek.
Validar slammed the desk with his hands, and stood up. A look of frustration plastered on his face as he now came face to face with his daughter.
"What do you mean 'Yes, father?'? Didn't I tell you this morning to go get the groceries, we are fresh out of milk, and that simply will not do! I GUESS you won't want any of my special cake tonight!" He crossed his arms, pivoted around, his back facing his too-old-to-be-taking-orders-from-this-coot of a daughter.
Cake…? What in the world is this half-baked Sorcerer talking about? There are no cakes in Plegia! What is he, senile? … Oh… Right… Unable to bring herself to care enough to argue back, "Alright, alright! I'm going!" Robin stormed down the halls of the ridiculously large castle, but before she could forget, she grabbed her purse that was conveniently at the doorway, she opened it to check how much gold she has, and quickly she realized that she was about 50 gold pieces shorter than usual…
"Give me back my gold, Eustace!" She called glaring at the curtain, suddenly a soldier's arm popped out with his fist clenched, and dropped the 50 gold pieces missing from her purse, Robin took the gold pieces, smiled delicately at the curtain and made her way out the door.
Gods, why did he have to send me so far away just to get the groceries? I could have at LEAST stolen a Wyvern from the stalls and this would be done in no time! Suddenly she remembered some of her evil father's sayings that he said to her late mother a few years ago…
"Okay, so Robin is halfway to becoming an amazing tactician, and IS the Princess of Plegia…" Her mother remarked. "But that is no reason to choose her husband for her, you dolt!" She slapped her forehead.
"Silence! I'm the King of Plegia and what I say goes!" He shouted as he accidentally shot a Bolganone, at one of the delicate china, causing them both to fidget.
"Wow…" Little Robin muttered to herself, "Father's a TERRRIBLE spell-caster!"
Marry me off to some knight who can barely even wield an axe?
Snapping out of her own thoughts, strange noises touched her ears. Robin turned around quickly, and seconds later from the blank field line, came two specks… They were getting closer, she squinted her eyes until she was able to make out a figure with dirty blonde hair, a green hat that must've been stapled to his head considering that it looked ready to just be taken by the wind, and be long gone without his notice.
He was wearing a green tunic, with beige tights, brown gloves that reach his elbows, which also match the color of his boots, he had a shield, and a sword holster encased on his back, but with no sword.
... That's odd...
She noticed that the other speck was getting closer, it had brown fur, with absurdly big and actually quite terrifying eyes, and seemed able to keep a still position without moving his arms, legs, head… or even his mouth.
... Wait, isn't that a...!?
"Come on, boy, let me touch you!" The bear called out, "... Yep, I was right." Robin muttered to herself and paid this no mind, and continued forward.
The boy in the green tunic and stupid hat knew he couldn't keep on running forever, ways to get rid of this bear piled on and on in his pretty-boy head. While thinking and running, he suddenly took note of how the wind felt against his face while running, suddenly it hit him!
He reached behind him and pulled out his Gale Boomerang, and continued running, waiting for his moment to let the boomerang fly and steal his sword back, and end it before it reproduces somehow and spreads the horror!
Picking up his paces, he turned around, and noticed the utterly terrifying bear on his trail, as if he's unable to tire out, the boy held out his boomerang, and readied it behind his head, finally gathering enough strength in his arm, he sent the boomerang flying.
Only to find that he missed entirely! Thanks to his terrible aim… He probably should have Z-Targeted.
It was no use, he turned around, and ran for his life, Robin, who has long-forgotten about this situation, was still thinking about her stupid sorcerer of a father.
The boomerang was still soaring through the air…
Man, one of these days, I'm gonna make the guy listen to me one way or another!
The boomerang was getting closer…
I mean, he's not even that good of a SPELL-CASTER! How in the seven hells is he the KING of PLEGIA?
The boomerang showed no sign of stopping, suddenly the wind cutting sound effects of the boomerang touched Robin's ear, "Huh?" She looked on her right, but before she could react, that boomerang smacked her right dab on the middle of the forehead.
"D'OGH!" She fell on her back, and quickly saw the two figures quickly run by her as her vision was getting a little darker.
She fought to keep her eyelids open, but it was in vein as she was no longer able to keep conscience.
"This is it! Our final battle! You're one of us, Robin. And no "destiny" can change that…" Was all Robin heard, as she suddenly found herself back in her father's quarters, (Which she always sneaks in to), shooting her head around wildly, a mysterious blue-haired figure caught her eye on her right.
This blue haired figure was dressed in a black shirt that had one sleeve, a shoulder guard hooked to his left shoulder under his white cape, and an intersection of two white belts on his chest, and a mysterious brand on his right bicep.
"Uh… Pardon me if I'm being rude but… Who the heck are you, and what are you doing my house?" Robin scratched her head in complete confusion.
"Now let's kill this dastard and be done with it!" The blue-haired figure drew his sword, and held it out in front of him.
"Gya ha ha! Fools! Struggle all you want!" The King of Plegia bellowed an evil laughter, "You cannot unwrite what is already written!" His eyes were glowing in a fierce shade of violet.
Robin had never seen her father in this psychotic state, and she knew how PSYCHO he was! Her final string broke, "DAD! What in the HECK are you DOING?! WHO IS THIS GUY!? Why am I-!? Who is he-? What are you-? Oh, I got the groceries by the way! NOW STOP THIS RIGHT NOW, YOU OLD COOT!" Without thinking, Robin picked up her Thoron tome, and within seconds, conducted electricity within her hand, within moments; she shot a pillar of lightning at her dumb father, taking him down without a moment's hesitation.
"Whoa! I didn't know I was ready for the big tomes! That's awesome!" Robin stared at her hand in amazement.
"Nice work, Robin." The blue haired figure, wrapped an arm around her shoulder, and smiled at her, "Hey thanks, but… I still have no idea who you are…"
Suddenly, a faint and angry groan escaped from not-dead father, "This isn't over! DAMN YOU BOTH!" Trying to get the last shot, all of his magic rounded up in his hand, and recklessly tried to shoot the blue-haired man, but before Robin would let that happen, even though she didn't know the guy, she shoved him out of the way, sustaining the blow for him instead.
Suddenly, everything went white, and Robin lost her balance, collapsing on the floor, her vision still present. The blue haired figure quickly ran over to her, "You all right?" He helped her get on her feet, "That's the end of him!" They both looked at the NOW-dead King, "Thanks to you, we carried the day… We can rest easy now."
Suddenly a sharp throbbing pain erupted in Robin's head, causing her vision to change into a hue of a dangerous crimson.
At long last…
Her mind whispered to her, the blue haired figure looked at her, now worried, "Hey, what's wrong? Hey! Hang on! G'agh!" Hearing a faint groan escape from him, her eyes wandered to his chest, only to find that it was pierced with a lightning bolt… by her hand…
The blue haired figure took a step back his palm over his chest, and looked at Robin.
"This is not… your fault…" He held his chest, his voice was addressed in pain, "Promise me… You'll escape from this place… Please… Go…" Before he wanted to say something else, his legs had finally given out and collapsed on the floor, his last breath nigh.
An evil laughter, now echoed in her thoughts, now conscience of what she had done, "No… NO! You can't go! You haven't told me who you were! You moron! No! You blue-headed fashion-disaster!"
What was...
"Chrom, we have to do SOMETHING."
Huh...?
A faint voice sounded, eyes slowly prying open. "What do you propose we do?" A somewhat familiar voice sounded."I-I dunno!" She answered nervously as she noticed the figure stirring awake.
"Ah!" She bend over to get a closer look at her. "I see you're awake now." He bend over a bit as well. "No duh!" The girl quickly muttered for the blue-haired figure to hear. The man's eyes quickly drifted to her giving her an annoyed look.
"Hey there… Heh." She smiled to her kindly, a young girl, perhaps fifteen or sixteen, with sweet green eyes, and had blonde hair with pigtails that curved out of her head in ringlets, who also wore a head garment, with the set of buttons connected together in a chain-like fashion, and she wore a dress with a buttoned collar that started from her neck and extended down to her breasts, and a brown rims that connected her beige sleeves, down to her torso.
"There are better places to take a nap then on the ground, you know… Give me your hand." The blue-haired figure offered his hand out to her.
She didn't hesitate to accept his hand, but wasn't ecstatic about meeting new strangers. He helped her up, and smiled at her. But as she was being pulled up, she noticed on her hand, there was a mark of 6 evil eyes, and the bottom part of the lines intertwined in a zig-zag form.
When she was finally on her feet, she stared at the blue-haired figure. Who the heck…?
"You all right?" He asked her, "Y-Yes… Thank you, Chrom." She smiled, not realizing that she suddenly knew his name.
Holy…! Okay, cool it, Chrom. Relax! "Ah, then you know who I am." He cocked an eyebrow and looked at her, suddenly Robin realized that she just knew his name without knowing who he was, and now that she thought about it… Wait a minute… What's MY name?! "No, actually, I… It's strange… Your name, it just… came to me."
"Hmm… How curious." Chrom looked at her, "Tell me, what's your name? What brings you here?""My name is… It's… Hmm?" Robin trailed off, struggling to remember the answer to such a simple question.
"…You don't know your own name?" Chrom closed the space between his eyebrow and his cheek.
"I'm not sure if I… I'm sorry, but where am I, exactly?" Robin looked around, getting annoyed at how she couldn't remember her own name, or her whereabouts, and how she was confronted by a blue-headed guy who looks somewhat familiar to her, a girl with an odd head-garment, and a knight in blue armor who hasn't said anything since this encounter.
"Hey, I've heard of this! It's called amnesia!" The girl interrupted, "PEGASUS POOP!" the blue knight finally spoke up in a startling fashion, Robin nearly fell back on her rear.
"Frederick!" Chrom turned around and scolded Frederick, "Sorry, milord… I… I got excited." Chrom turned around and rolled his eyes, Uuuuuuuggghh, one of these days Frederick, one of these days… Chrom let his head fall back.
"H-Hey, slow down, buddy! It's the truth! I swear it!" Robin set her hand out as a barrier, keeping her guard, "What if it is true, Frederick? We can't just leave her here. Alone and confused." Robin wanted to say something in response to the 'Alone and Confused' part but instead. Oh, right… No name.
"What sort of of Shepherds would we be then?" Chrom looked back at Frederick, Frederick knew Chrom was right, but was just being cautious for the sake of being cautious, "T'would not do to let a wolf in our flock." He hid behind the girl, who hasn't been introduced yet, "She could be a SPY for all we know."
Wow, this knight certainly is… colorful… "Come on, we'll take you back to town, and we can sort this out there." He rested his hand on her shoulder, "W-Wait, don't I have a say in this?" She asked still worried, as she moved back a little trying to get him to release her shoulder, "Peace, friend. I promise we'll hear all you have to say once we get back to town." He removed his hand, trying to convince her that she doesn't have to be scared of him.
Robin felt somewhat better that this Chrom guy was actually SANE compared to that Frederick guy over there.
She walked to the town with them, Chrom took the lead, Frederick followed in behind, while the girl and Robin were in between, still somewhat timid, Robin looked to the ground, not trying to make eye contact with anyone.
"So if you've no memory of your name, why do you know Chrom, huh?" The girl asked her, and got up close to get a good look at her. "Well uhh…" Robin tried to answer, but as quick as lightning, Lissa switched from Robin's left to her right, "I don't think I've told you who I was yet! I'm Lissa!" Switching sides again, "Do you use a weapon?" Switching sides once more, "If so, what kind?" Switching sides again, "Hey, that's a sweet jacket!" Switching sides, "And where'd you get that red-mark on your forehead from?"
They all stopped, Chrom turned to Lissa, "Calm down! We just met her, and already so many questions." Now that Lissa mentioned it, she did have a red-mark right smack dab in the middle of her forehead, "Yeah, where did you get that…?" Chrom raised an eyebrow.
"HUH?!" Robin touched her forehead, and felt it somewhat swollen, "How does it look?" She looked at Lissa, "Well, it's the shape of a boomerang for one thing and…" "Not THAT! I mean how bad is it?" Robin's hands covered her forehead. "Ooooooohhh… Well, it's a little swollen, red like a tomato, and it looks like it stings!" Lissa smiled and somewhat snickered, Robin wrinkled her nose in annoyance.
"Oh, don't be such a baby! I can fix it!" Lissa pulled out what appears to be a staff, "I'll fix you up in a jiffy!" Lissa raised the staff once, and a green light shimmered from it, and suddenly the red mark was gone, Robin's forehead felt flat.
Robin looked impressed, "Hah. I know you're impressed!" Lissa smirked cutely, "Hehe…" Chrom chuckled, "Well, it's certainly saved our skin more than once, just as Frederick the Wary over there."
Before Robin could turn around, Lissa whispered into her ear, "More like Frederick the Wussy." Lissa snickered once again, Robin couldn't help but snicker as well.
"A title I shall wear with pride." Frederick bowed his head, Lissa couldn't contain her giggles that almost turned into a fit of laughter. Frederick and Chrom looked at her with a blank expression.
"I must emphasize caution. I have every wish to trust you stranger, but my station mandates otherwise…" Frederick finally explained himself properly. Well, it's good to know that he-"SPY!" He shouted. Okay, yep, nope… Forget it, I'm not even gonna try.
"I… get it. Sort of… But I would do no less myself… To a certain extent." Robin said calmly. Chrom couldn't help but chuckle at that comment. "Anyway, my name is Robin." She smiled, and realized what she had just said, "That's weird… I just remembered that…" Robin scratched her head, and twirled her index finger with one of her snow white hair tied in pigtails.
"SEE?! I TOLD you she was a spy!" Frederick pointed at her with his side of caution showing itself, "Frederick! For the love of the gods! She's not a spy! So she remembered her name! So what?! You should be happy that she's remembered!" Lissa started to argue with him.
Frederick looked at the teen, "Oh come ON! She's totally a spy, I mean-"
Robin turned around and slapped her forehead, leaving them to argue. "I am so sorry…" Chrom shook his head. "Pffftt…" Robin stuck her tongue out, "I'm sure I've seen worse." She shrugged, Chrom chuckled again. Heh, I kinda like this girl already…
"CHROM! Look! The town!" Lissa pointed at the town with smoke emanating from behind the buildings. Frederick suddenly had an ice pack on his head. "Blast! It's those darn brigands! No doubt! Shepherds! Let's move!" Chrom called to Lissa and Frederick.
"What about the spy?" Frederick pointed at her, "She's not a spy, and unless she's on fire, it can wait! So let's go!" Chrom ran forward, Lissa following in behind. "I'm watching you spy!" Frederick ran with them, and took one more glance at her before he was out of sight.
"Oh come ON! I. AM. NOT. A. SPYYYY!" Robin shouted as she followed after them.
And that covers Chapter 1! Hope you guys like it! This is my first time writing a fan fiction, so please do not hesitate to tell me what you thought!
