Hello everyone! This will officially be my 2d shot at a PPG story. The first one didn't really go so well, I think. I think I just didn't plan it out too well and that led to writers block and, eventually, letting go of the story. I didn't know what I wanted the story to really be. So this time, I plan on planning it out and updating more regularly. Although, I might get behind sometimes because of school. I'm really glad school is almost over. I will try to update a lot over the summer.
Anyway, I got this story idea from listening to Two Steps From Hell. If you don't know who that is and you like electronic orchestras, then you should really check them out. I just love their music! Their album Invincible inspired this story. One of my personal favorites. Some of you may recognize the titles of the chapters to be names of the tracks. I'm not sure if I will be using all of the names, but for the first few, I will be. This story is a Robin/Mitch story. I rarely ever see this pairing on this archive. It's a shame because I have always shipped them ever since my friend introduced the possibility to me. I think they would make a cute couple. Mitch being the hardass and Robin being the sweet, soft-spoken cutie. I just always loved them. Well enough about me. This story takes place in an AU so be prepared for magic and war.
Anyway I hope you all enjoy!
Happy Reading!
Invincible
Chapter 1: Freedom Fighters
They marched for what seemed like ages. Many creatures from across the land marched in sync with one another, moving like the water in a clear pond. Creatures from Demons to Fae. From Giants to Banshees. They all moved as one.
At the head of this great army, was a young woman at the age of twenty-two. She possessed a head full of thick brown hair that was tied into long tight corn roles that stretched to her waist. Her eyes were the clearest and most mesmerizing of diamond blue. Her face was fair and soft with slight rose color dusting on her cheeks. Her lips were full and slightly cracked from the cool air that was swarming around her. She wore a soft cloth brown shirt underneath a silver chest piece. Long, tight, dark grey pants clutched around her full hips and thighs. Her knee high, black-heeled boats crunched as she walked along the grassy path. A long light brown cape swung in the wing behind her. Her hood was up so the wind could not blow any unwanted debris into her beautiful face.
To her left hand side, was a tall, lean, muscular man at the ripe age of twenty-one. His face was scrunched up into a deep frown as he trudged along with his leader. He possessed a head of thick brown hair also, but was shaggy and stuck out in many directions atop his head. His eyes, where the deepest shade of Amethyst. His face was hard and rough. A few healing scratches were still scattered across his face. He had stubble dusted on his chin and atop his lips. He usually will shave it all away, but the traveling has not let him do so. He wore a cloth grey undershirt with a black chest piece atop it. He had a belt across his waist with a silver and gold sword in its scabbard. His pants were semi tight for the armor that stood out in front of them. He also, had a cape that blew in the wind. It was dark brown of color.
Soon, the young woman signaled for the troops to take a rest once they reached a small river. She sent some of the creatures to see if they could find any type of food that they could eat for the time being. The rest of the troops rested by the river, drinking and chatting with one another. The young woman separated herself from the group to look at her map she held on her waist. She laid it out on a large table-like log and studied their path.
"Are we heading the right way, Robin?" The tall man asked her. Robin nodded at him, keeping her eyes on the map.
"Yes, Mitch. We should be there by morning. All we need to do now is make sure everyone is feed and has a bed to sleep on tonight." Mitch nodded and headed over to one of the large Giants. He commanded the large creature to start setting up a campground. The creature nodded and turned to the other Giants. Once they all had what they needed, they set off to work.
Robin rolled the map back up and stuck it in its compartment on her hip. She gave a small yawn and rubbed her eyes. She was exhausted. They had been traveling for days now trying to get to Byhollow, Kingdom of the North. Robin had the most special of friends there. The three princesses and her all grew up together. Robin got a letter from them a few days ago that stated that they were now engaged. They were engaged to the three princes of Stormhaven, Kingdom of the East. Robin was so excited at the news that she rounded up her troops and set off.
That was six days ago.
She forgot how long the trip was going to be, especially by foot. She remembered when she was younger; going there and back again was always faster. Maybe it was because she traveled by Dragon.
Mitch saw her in her droopy-eyed state and sat on the log next to her. He chuckled as she sounded another yawn bigger than the last.
"You seem tired, Robin. I don't blame you, I'm exhausted too." Robin giggled and looked up at Mitch. She leaned over and laid her head on his broad shoulder. Mitch chuckled and patted her head as she dozed off into a deep sleep.
Robin awoke with a start. She looked around as her eyes adjusted to the dim light coming from inside the small hut. She was wrapped in a large wool blanket on top of a thick tarp. Robin rubbed her eyes and stretched. She then lifted from her comfortable position and exited the hut. She saw Mitch sitting by a small fire on the outskirts of the camp. Robin slowly approached him, careful not to startle him. She sat down on the large stump next to him. Mitch glanced over to her and smiled.
"Had a nice rest?" Robin smiled and nodded. "Good. Here I saved you this," Mitch grabbed a large fish from the fire and handed it to her. "I hid this from those savages, the Weres. You know how they can get around food." Robin thanked Mitch and took a large bite out of the fish.
As she ate, Mitch and Robin conversed among themselves. They chatted about political problems, unimportant things and past memories. Robin always loved talking to Mitch. He was so intelligent; yet so light hearted and fun. He knew how to make a conversation interesting to anyone he was chatting with. Robin could see the passion in his deep Amethyst eyes for some of the subjects he talked about. She could see the thought swimming in Amethyst eyes. She felt as if she could talk to him for hours on end.
Soon, there conversation became smaller and smaller. Mitch's eyes became red from lack of sleep and he slouched as he looked to the fire.
"Mitch, if you're tired, I could take up watch for you. I'm not ready for sleep yet so you can have my spot in the hut." Mitch looked absolutely grateful as she said this.
"Are you sure?" Robin smiled and nodded. Mitch always questioned her ability to take care of herself. Even if she has won many battles in the past.
"You look like you will fall over any second now." Mitch chuckled. He then got up from his spot on the log and grabbed Robin's hand. He leaned down, keeping eye contact, and kissed the back of her hand gently. Robin tried to hide her blush as he smirked at her. His deep eyes shimmered in the flame light.
"Goodnight, Robin."
"Sweet dreams, Mitch."
