Chapter 2: Remembering the Past

It was dark, today there were no stars in the sky which reminded me of Plegia.

Although Validar would tell me,'' The sky is filled with stars, it's just that they are too shy to come out.''

''Oh, how I miss him. If it wasn't for Grima, then we would still be a happy family.'' I thought.

'' Ow, that hurts, Robin!'' Said a faint girly voice.

'' Don't blame me!'' Said a boy's voice.

'' Kids! Why are you still up!?'' I said.

'' It's just that Robin won't sleep and she is waking me up! Please, tell her to stop.'' Said male Robin who tried to sleep.

'' Robin! Sleep!'' I ordered her.

'' NO!'' She screamed.

Luckily, she didn't scream too loud.

'' It's just that I... I (starts to cry) miss my daddy!'' She said while crying.

Her brother tried to comfort her, but to no avail. Instead, he also started to cry.

Upon looking at them, I said, '' Do you want to know how daddy and I fell in love?''

They both nodded in unison.

''Well.'' I began.

'' From an early age, I was a tactician that served the Plegian army, but I got sick of war. So, later in my life, I decided to be a dancer and a singer. I met your daddy after one of my concerts. After the concert, he came up to me and told me in private that I must stop acting before the crowd and show them my true feelings. Naturally, I got angry and screamed at him to get out. I thought that was the end of him. But he always kept coming back to my concerts and, in his own special way, helped to not only be true to the crowd, but also to myself. Little did I know that I was opening up to him and, before I realized it, we fell in love.''

I was going to continue but my little babies fell asleep with a grin plastered on their faces.

While I was looking at them, I remembered the day he proposed to me and warned me about the dangers that I was going to face if I accepted. For example, my children would either be a failed or a perfect vessels for Grima. Yet, I accepted his proposal along with the dangers.

When they were born, we were scared when we saw the mark of that dragon which meant that they were the perfect vessels. But, nor Validar or I could hate them because they were OUR children the product of OUR love.

I named both of our children Robin because we knew that the cult thought that I had given birth to one child, NOT twins.

Validar and I, along with our children, escaped and travel through Plegia. We couldn't go ANYWHERE! The cult had sealed all of our escape routes.

Sadly, Validar started to change. He started to have outbursts of rage and acted like a different person! Sometimes he would forget about us and treat us like strangers. It scared me to see the man that I love live under these conditions.

Until, the day came when we parted ways. Female Robin, who was crying, was begging him to come with us. But, he, in a peaceful and calm manner, told her that he couldn't come with us.

It turned out that he was going to turn himself in to the cult; giving us a chance to escape and he gave us boxes which contained some valuable items which was from the cult. That was the last time we saw each other.

When I looked at my children, I could see their clear resemblance to their father. They had earned all of his facial features, except the shape of their eyes which was from me.

Finally, as I did every night, I sat down and began writing letters to my beloved husband.

I knew he would never read them, but I wanted to get my feelings out, even if they were in vain.

From your Dear Wife,

Dear, I miss you, I wish you were here with us. Don't worry about our children, they are fine. In fact, we have arrived at Ylisse and we are staying at the Exalt's palace... well we are in a tiny room which only has one bed, a table and three chairs. Today our children became friends with the Exalt's children which are Emmeryn, Chrom and Lissa. Our little boy has been playing pranks on Lissa... I have a feeling that she'll take revenge when she is older. While our little girl told me that she and Chrom made a promise that when they grew up, they would marry and have a child whom they would name Lucina, after the Exalt's late wife. Our little girl wanted to introduce Chrom to you. Maybe, when all of this is over, we could... could.

Tears started rolling down my cheeks, I couldn't stop them. So, as always, I saved that letter in a little music box, one which I brought from Plegia.

After that, I slept with my children while thinking,'' You are my little stars who will shine in this darkness and I promise that I WILL protect you.''
