Male Avatar and Naga Supports

B Rank


Today had become quite the afternoon bustling with activity, mostly celebration. Robin and 'Nagi' had come up with a strategy consisting of sending highly trained units to infiltrate the Grimleal's latest base in the mountains, rescue the would-be sacrifices to the Fell Dragon, and wipe out the hostile cultists with advanced planning in combination with powerful soldiers. The end result, thanks to the presence of the two leaders of the army as well as the Divine Dragon amongst its number, had been nothing short of a total victory. Not a single life was lost on the Shepherds' side and the captive villagers had been escorted safely to their homes unscathed. Even so, 'Nagi' preferred the quieter atmospheres and departed off to find some solitary patch of nature, where she could meditate.

After spending a good half of an hour looking for such a spot, the Manakete finally came across a small cave entrance. She knew that she was quite far from the Shepherds' camp, and while she didn't feel a particular need to stray further from it in an attempt to find some solitary meditation, something about this cave's entrance called out to her, as if inviting her to explore its innards. Before she could step inside, her Manakete hearing and sense of smell picked up another being behind her approximately fifty yards away, heading towards her spot. 'Nagi' sharpened her eyesight in the direction to see if the being was hostile or amicable upon entering her vision and whether or not she needed to ready herself for a confrontation. Soon though, the divine dragon found that such precautions would not be necessary once she heard the being speak.

"Argh, these trees…" the voice groaned out in agitation, "why are there so many trees out here?" Nagi immediately recognized the voice, and she calmed herself knowing that it belonged to a fellow Shepherd. She could hear the rustling getting closer to her spot, suddenly stopping followed by a yell of pain. "Gyah! I swear, one of these days a tree will be the end of me. I will not die a dignified death in battle or a calm one on my death bed, surrounded by my peers. No; it will be because I tripped over a root in some forest, bashing my skull open on this unforgiving ground, alone with nobody to—" By the time the person came out in view, 'Nagi' already knew that her follower was none other than Robin, chief strategist of the Shepherds' Army. The man himself stopped his rant once he made it out of tree country, 'Nagi' coming right into his vision. "Nagi? Whew, there you are; I was hoping that I followed the right trail…"

The Manakete was confused; why would anyone follow her this far out in the woods, let alone the tactician of an entire army? "Robin? Why did you follow me? Do you seek something from me?" She studied his face to see what his intentions were in the event he couldn't provide a straight answer. Within a few seconds, she could see his face tense up in response to her question, adopting his "dueling with unpleasant thoughts" expression he and Chrom were known for.

"Nagi… I'm… starting to have some… uncomfortable thoughts… I was hoping I could speak to you in private about them…"

She took a long look into the man's soul windows, already seeing that there was some dark thoughts underneath those bright hazel layers of flesh. She needed to know if he truly sought her out. "Have you spoke to your lord concerning your inner conflict?"

"As I was leaving to find you he noticed. I told him I would talk to him later and see if he could help clear my thoughts, but… I'm not sure if he can…"

With this 'Nagi' knew exactly what was up with the man; doubts about his place in the war and what he should be fighting for despite the talk they had the previous night. This wasn't anything you could often speak to your commander about and find a middle ground, and despite how close the blue haired prince was with his tactician, she knew that the both of them operated on different mental axes. Turning to the cave to her back, she took a deep, long breath and began made her way to its entrance. "Follow…" she motioned, and Robin gave not a single hesitation, walking towards the cave at her command.


The tunnels that 'Nagi' and Robin navigated through proved to be quite treacherous, with the light that emanated from 'Nagi's' body being the only source in the entire caves. There were more than a few times that Robin nearly died, either by injuring himself on the rocks or almost falling into a deep chasm. 'Nagi' herself had no such problems, with her eyesight many times more powerful than the man with her, prompting her to tell him to stay at her side at all times while traversing the cave. Despite the weird feeling Robin kept getting from being within an arm's length of the divine being, he nevertheless worked up the strength to finally speak his mind, complete with an awkward cough.

"I've… been wondering about a lot of things, ever since our victory earlier today… I'm nonetheless glad that we managed to stop the Grimleal from using more people as sacrifices to Grima, but…" 'Nagi' listened intently into his words, hoping to decipher the meaning of them should he twist them or complicate his message. "I'm starting to doubt whether or not anything I've been doing could be considered 'right', or whether or not I want to be a tactician anymore…" This surprised Nagi to some extent, given that he constantly aspired to be a master tactician, but she figured that if anything was responsible for challenging that view it would've been the words she spoke to him during her late night visit. "If anything, that was the only thing I had in mind even when I awoke in the fields that day… when Chrom found me… even then, I only had the goal of becoming as good of a strategist I could be to protect innocents from the fires of war…"

"And now you are rethinking what you wish to become for the rest of your life… I understand that you had similar thoughts prior to our meeting but in lieu of the Shepherds' objectives you had pushed such thoughts aside as they were irrelevant to the success of the army's victory in their campaigns…"

"Exactly, and it's only gotten more difficult to focus the more I thought about what I was doing from an objective standpoint. I looked back on every war I had anticipated in, including this one, and started questioning who was ultimately in the 'right' and who was ultimately in the 'wrong'. I even wondered about the possibility of the 'neutral' parties at work, if any. Back in Gangrel's war…"

"A war that begun due to bitter feelings over the previous one that Ylisse had instigated…"

"Right, I was on Chrom's side of the conflict. He told me how his father declared war on Plegia because of the state's religion, that religion happening to be the Grimleal… he told me of the destruction wrought upon its people, and how the Exalt of the time nearly brought his own nation into ruin, and how that had affected Emmeryn, his sister…"

"Ah yes, the previous Exalt…" 'Nagi' noticed that the trail they were treading seemed to go upwards, indicating that an exit could be up on much higher ground than the path they entered. She gave a slight tug at Robin's arm when she spotted him wandering off, motioning to him to keep at her side and causing his cheeks to flush in embarrassment. "She sought to create peace between the nations through nonviolent means, but perhaps she knew that such a solution would only work had the circumstances that happened between Ylisse and Plegia had been different…"

"Really?" The man found it hard to believe that things actually could have gone peaceful with the "Mad King" in charge. "I mean, Gangrel had his country antagonize Ylisse out of a desire for revenge. Chrom told me how he took advantage of Emmeryn's stance on making peace. In all honesty, looking back on what he told me back then and what Gangrel had said, had he truly been a selfish man who had another excuse for causing mayhem, or was he actually acting on behalf of his people and became too caught up in his own personal pain to consider his actions towards everyone else?"

"We may never know at this point… I will not deny that I did not agree with his decision to start another war with a nation who was no longer hostile with them, but I can see that he felt he and his people had been wronged and that he felt that Plegia deserved justice… after all, what one may consider wrong and unjust may be perfectly justifiable in another's eyes. There is no concrete answer to any and every problem that arises due to how diverse the people of the world are. The subject of morality had always been a divided discussion…"

"The world saw Plegia's actions as unjust for starting a war with Ylisse out of revenge when Ylisse no longer had any intention of creating conflict with them, despite the fact that Ylisse itself had started a war with Plegia for what could be considered superficial reasons. Looking at it now, everyone basically took Ylisse's side and deemed Plegia to be in the wrong. What do you think could be the reason for that?"

"The most likely reasoning for such could be because of the Grimleal's presence…"

"Ah, Grima worshippers…" Robin sighed to himself, already knowing what was going to come up next. "Back on the subject of religion eh?"

"Indeed. Religion had always played a major part in this world's conflict, the war that the father of Chrom waged being a prime example of such… the Ylisseans especially worship me as a true goddess, but then again most of humanity does so as well, my daughter Tiki being revered as my Voice in the lands of Valm, before Walhart began his conquest…"

"Oh yeah, him. He spoke about uniting the world through sheer power under his rule, but we didn't agree that he was right…"

"He would rule the world and eliminate the notion of religion in an attempt to prove man's worth, as well as to prevent Grima from ever rising again…"

"But we stopped him…"

"Yes, you did. Many would say he was wrong to try to force the world to either choose to sword or the knee instead of trying to be peaceful as Emmeryn was. Again, this is an example of conflicting views. That in itself is a common tactic against silencing those who do not agree with you; if one does not share your view then they must be forced to agree with you or you destroy them, no matter what they're own reasoning is…"

'Essentially what we did,' Robin thought to himself sourly. "There are too many people who have different sets of morals, ethics, and standards…"

"Indeed, and while some argue that this creates diversity among the world, others argue that it is ultimately unnecessary and hinders the people from forming a consensus. Valm itself was once unified by true gods known as Duma and Mila under the name of Valentia, but their own personal beliefs led to the country being divided into two provinces. A man named Alm stopped the other country from overtaking his own and challenged Duma himself using the remainder of Mila's power. Upon defeating the God, he and his childhood friend Celica, who was from the opposing nation, used their power to bring the two warring countries into unity once more, renaming the entire continent after Alm and creating an era of peace, at least until it was split into even further long after their deaths…"

"So it was basically all for nothing then…" To think that despite everything that this Alm and Celica duo had done to create peace between their warring nations, it didn't last in the end. Was unified peace in itself nothing but a fantasy? All of a sudden, the idea of such things were starting to lose their credibility. "…What are your personal thoughts on this world, Nagi? Do you think that a unified world under peace can truly be realized?"

'Nagi' looked to the man beside her, a somber look encroaching upon her features once she saw his face. 'Now I've done it…' 'Nagi' hated to see that look of deflation and defeat on Robin's face, and she knew that she was the cause of it. He had such high hopes of finding a way to unite the world and create a lasting age of peace, and for her to basically shoot down his dreams with the revelation of Valm's history showed how far off realizing that dream would be. But was peace and unity just a fantasy made up to keep people happy and optimistic in spite of the hopelessness of realizing such a goal? After all she herself had done to establish something close to resembling—

"N-Nagi?" His voice brought her out of her thoughts, bringing her back to reality. Thinking back on the snow-haired man's question, what did she think of the world? She took a deep breath, gathering her thoughts and preparing herself to answer him as honestly as she could.

"…In my honest opinion… I'm not even sure if the world can be unified…" She watched the way his face became downcast, but she continued on. "As far back as I remember, there always was strife and conflict in this world, not just within Ylisse and Valm… other distant lands… Jugdral… Elibe… Magvel… Tellius… all of the realms in this world had gone through turbulent times, and in some cases it only worsened… all of these lands had come close to an end because of conflict that was never resolved or new ones that had surfaced… it seemed that every one thousand years a calamity would arise and threaten the land either in the form of eternal suffering or total annihilation, although in some cases the conflict itself would last for a thousand years and abruptly end or climax… and yet… despite the rather convoluted nature of these occurrences happening… I never gave up… I held on to the notion that everything would eventually improve… that things would change for the better…" 'Nagi' almost lost herself in her thoughts, coming back down to earth once she remembered she was talking to someone.

"I want nothing more than to believe that an era of peace and happiness will last for more than just one thousand years, but with the way things are in this world appear to dictate that such wishful thinking is only a dream… a young child's mere fantasy… it is as if status quo itself is a God or Goddess that rules over all else in this world… no matter what action I choose to take or choose not to take, the end result always seems to be the same: humans fighting with their non-human brethren and oppressing them and sometimes nearly wiping them out, a practitioner of dark magic wishes to destroy or rule the world using the power of nigh invincible dragons, the success of such actions themselves varying, a demonic and/or corrupted Deity or some being close to Godhood wishing total destruction upon the world or ruling it with oppression, Gods fighting each other over beliefs…" Robin looked at the glowing Manakete besides him; how long had she had to witness these things? She began speaking again. "I myself share a portion of the blame for this world's state… instead of trying to find a way to bring peace between the humans and dragons of this land, I instigated it by suggesting that dragons relinquish their control of the ancient continents when the humans became more numerous and powerful while we grew fewer and weaker… this angered the Earth Dragon tribe and they sought to repress humanity or exterminate them outright… they did not wish to give up what they already had for someone else to take it… a race they deemed to inferior to control the world… I fought on behalf of humanity and earned the eternal ire of that tribe as well as the distrust of the others… I also blood bonded with a human named Heim to help uproot the Lopto Empire that Loptyr, an evil hearted Earth Dragon, had established on the human's original home continent, Jugdral… but I did not make sure that the evil remnants of that empire were wiped out completely… leading to another conflict one thousand years afterwards in which Loptyr was resurrected… again, he was stopped through the efforts of a boy named Seliph…"


As the duo kept walking, light became visible to them from higher ground. Once they made it through they found themselves in a snow covered area; they apparently made it to a summit of some sorts, but the presence of a sentient being had been made clear by the sight of pillars leading to another entrance. 'Nagi' herself was not bothered by the subzero temperature, although Robin was having a real difficult time adjusting to it.

"Bbbrrrrrrrr… it'ss-s evvveeeen c-c-c-coooldeerrrrrr up-p heerrrre th-th-thannn itt isss-sss-ss oouuut i-in Reg-na-na-na-na Feerrrrroxxxxssss… ah… AH-CHOO!"

'Nagi' couldn't help but manage a small laugh at Robin's predicament despite the rather somber tone of her earlier conversation. "I forget that humans are not very tolerant of weather extremes…"

"Y-y-yyoouurrreeee ssssoooo l-l-luuuucckkkkyy… Oohhh G-G-G-Gooddssss, m-m-my nnnoosssseee d-d-drrriip-p-pinnnngggssss aarrrreee fffffrrrroozzzeeeeennnn…"

"I can even see the Shepherds' camp from here…"

"Rrrreaaallllyyyyy? Th-th-thaatttt'ssss… wwaaaiiitttt… hhaaahhhh… HAH-CHOO! Aaauuughhhh nnnnooooo… nnnoootttt aaggaaaaaiinnnnn…"

"Oh my…" 'Nagi' decided to warm the poor man up before he froze to death out in this weather, something she was not willing to see if it were possible. Moving up to him she grabbed him in an embrace, shortly before her body lit up in a brilliant glow, and lifted him up from the ground. "I can keep you warm until we make it inside. No arguing against my decision either; I am unwilling to see you become a corpse encased in ice…"

Not that he would've argued anyways, considering that she warmed him up instantly with her divine dragon powers. Sighing in relief, the snow haired tactician let himself relax within 'Nagi's' arms. "Thanks Nagi, I feel so much bett— wait, what is this on my… aw damn, gross…" He could hear 'Nagi' laughing at the misfortune of the snot on his face thawing out and running high. He quickly wiped it off on part of his coat, not that it could help him out in this weather, quickly earning an "ew" from the Manakete holding him.

"Please try not to touch me with that sleeve, I do not wish to catch your human germs…"

"Hey, like you don't have any Manakete cooties on you." Robin playfully shot back at her.

"Even so they're still— hah… HAH-CHOO!"

"Uh oh," Robin said in mock fear, "Someone's catching a cold out here. Now what are you going to use to wipe off the snot on YOUR face, huh?"

"Simple; your coat. I hope you don't mind me borrowing it."

"Hey, don't you—"He was too late; she yanked off his jacket to blow her own nose own the other sleeve while holding him with one arm, then folding it up and carrying it under her free arm. "I—you—my coat…!"

"I will personally wash it for you later; if not, I will make another one instead. If that is not viable then I will instead do you any favor you ask of me, so long as it falls within logical fallacies of course… besides, your coat is not of any use to you right now anyways"

"…I will get you for this… one way or another, I will get you for this. I am the tactician here and—"

"Oh hush you," she laughed, putting a single finger on his lips, "besides, were are getting closer to this new entrance…"

Robin himself took another look at the Manakete who held him in her arms, she really does seem like a normal human- er, a normal person. Long gone is his impression of a powerful Goddess who simply watches over the world, replaced by an impression of an intelligent, compassionate, playful, and very beautiful Manakete who saw herself as an equal with him, despite the divine powers she held within her. He chuckled to himself at how his view of her had completely changed from when he first met her back at Mount Prism, the Manakete showing him something new about her almost every second. "You're really something else, you know that?"

"I do…" she responded as she stepped inside, "and so are you…"

"So I am indeed… so I am indeed…"


Author's Departure Paragraph: that is the end of the B support between Naga and Robin. My goal for this particular set of supports is to throw in a few aspects of comedy as well as some serious and/or dark themes, something displayed when Naga spoke to Robin in the caves. The supports with the other characters are sure to be a tad more serious, namely the ones with Lucina and especially the ones with Tiki. Oh, and just to give you all a heads up, the S support between Naga and Robin will undoubtedly be the reason for the Mature rating this story has (some of you already know what that means…). That's all I have to say, except for that I hoped you all enjoyed this chapter and to stay tuned for the next part; this is Blue Sun Studios signing off the air!
