Both partners began their journey to Southtown, knowing that they could rest there in a while before Risens take place for the night. They walked by the pathway and talked about the field Robin was found amnesiac, while Cynthia was rephrasing the story Robin have told her,
"So.. in the beginning, my Father, Lissa, Frederick found you at a grassy field as an amnesiac, then when he wanted to bring you to Southtown, when you guys stood by a Mountain taking a view at the town, bandits were overwhelming the places killing innocents to take their loots.."
"Father told you to stand by as they began fighting off the Risens alone. Then you got a notice of a bronze sword and a fire tome with you, you sprinted towards them to help them, yet after you get into the town, you saw them with an unorganized position,"
"Then tactics overwhelmed your brain as you set them off within pairs. As both of you found the Bandit Leader, you were struggling fighting off bandits and Father gives out the strike toward the Bandit Leader,"
"then Father sees the tactics you've created and began to suddenly accept you to be in the Shepherds. He said he could use your tactics, swordplay and magics as a great help to the Shepherds,"
Robin replied, "Yeah.. something like that,"
Then Cynthia began to shout in excitement, "That's HEROIC!"
Robin then replied, "Yet the funny thing is that I thought them as a 'Shepherd', seeing how armed they are and judging by their movements, I was beginning to imagine what type of wolves they're fighting the whole time, good thing Frederick explained it to me,"
They both laughed.
...
There was no talking, wind whistling across the grass making harmonic sounds, then Cynthia cuts out the mute,
"So, how did Frederick reacted as he noticed you'll be joining the Shepherds? He's strict you know,"
Robin recalled diving through his memories, "About that, when we moved out from Southtown to the forest as that's the path we're going to go to Ylisse, I've heard some muttering of distrust whenever we travel by the forest, it was Frederick predicted by his acts, but he's good at whispering in silence,"
"Although, I remembered the time when I woke up at my first camp-trip to Ylisse at midnight seeing Frederick figure standing outside the tent flap holding his axe like a statue, still could see it even though I already closed the tent flap, seeing it by the shadow reflection created by the camp fire,"
Cynthia stood there imagining how creepy it would be having a person standing in front of the tent flap holding an axe,
"and yet when I woke up in the next morning, I got out of the tent only to see Frederick stood by the dusted fire camp giving me a death glare, it's like he seemed to know what happened last night,"
Robin grimaced recalling one of those memories. "He may be Chrom's Royal Guard, but he sure is serious on stalking people,"
Cynthia then stated, "Reminds me of Gerome,"
"Uh.?" Confuse look was earned by the tactician, "Why though, I don't seem to figu-... oh, you mean because they're both from the same generation?"
Cynthia shook her head and replied, "No, he sometimes higher the rate of strictness more than Frederick does, I remembered recalling when some random soldiers accidentally hits one of his friends in training, he's gonna join the club and beat him up for it, his reply's gonna be like 'But he purposely did it!' or 'It's not my fault, I did it accidentally!'"
Robin then imagined how it would look like if any enemies ever tried to hurt his friend would live like, "Gods, that's a cringe, I guess he's one strict man more than I thought he was to be, imagine if an enemy ever does that,"
She grimaced, "You know what happens,"
They both walked through a mountain and Robin took the view, there was a town, "Looks like we've just arrive to Southtown,"
...
"Hey look! There's a person who's wearing the coat that lady wore!" The boy exclaimed to the other kids, at the same time pointing at the white haired man wearing the Grimleal coat walking with a blue haired girl,
A lady wearing a coat of mine? Then Robin walked towards the young boy, "Um.. if I may excuse, who are you exactly talking about?"
The boy took strange look at Robin, then he began to speak again, "Looks like you guys are identical, and familiar, you guys even wore the same clothes, I'm guessing I'd say it's your twin sister, she seemed to have left this place with 3 other people few hours ago,"
Twin sister? Robin thought in mind,
"With the lady was a mage or healer, something like that, she had a yellow hair and she was kinda short, she was riding a horse as she followed a guy with a good lookin' sword, this guy had blue hair and he got that iron or leather arm shield, and there was this guy named Fredrick.. Fredorick.. Teddyrick.. uh.. Frederick? forget it, he was wearing a gigantic armor, he's one tough man,"
"he may be tough, but he's kind inside, I asked him his name last time, and he said his name kindly, I kinda forget the name though, his name's difficult to say, I dunno why,"
"The last thing I saw was that there was a bandit raid over the town, and then these people come to town visit in all a sudden, and I saw these guys tried killing bandits, yet the hooded lady killed the Bandit Leader with her bronze sword and sold her fire tome at the Southtown shop and gave the gold to that poor man who kneel at his family who recently died,"
He pointed at a man who stood by his family grave at the cemetery, thoughts filled Robin, Wait, didn't I did that before? Who exactly is this girl, and yet, how did she have the same act as I did? "Alright, thanks for the explanation, kid, I'll get going,"
Then the boy shouted, "Wait sir! Can I ask what's your name?"
Then the tactician spoke, "I'm Robin,"
The boy then backed a little, "You're Robin? B-but.. Oh I get it, twins, so they both have the same name! That's very interesting though,"
Her name's Robin? Twins?, "Um.. uh.. alright kids, I better get going," and they both walked away,
It was getting dark, the moon rises, as the time travelers both walked towards a hotel and rented a room, they were both being lead by the receptionist into one room, it has a large comfy bed enough for two people though, and two chairs near the bed with a table as the recent moon shines out a medium sized window,
Then Robin sat at the chair near the bed, began murmuring quietly, "How did she acted the same way I did? Was I the opposite gender in this world? What am I thinking?"
Cynthia was resting in the bed and caught the word Robin just said, 'She acted the same way I did', "Wait, you did strike the Bandit Leader in Chrom's stead?"
Robin then replied sweating, "Oh Gods! Uh.. uhm.. Cynthia, i-it's not w-what you think it is, you've probably mis-mistaken.."
Cynthia then recalled what the children said, "And you sold that fire tome to give that gold to the man who lost his family?"
Robin was terrified, having his brain blank not knowing what to do, "Cy-Cynthia? I'm sorry for lyi-" then she shouted cutting out Robin's sentence, "That was 'More than heroic'! I meant it, You gave the credit to Father even though you're the one who actually did it,"
Then she reached and hugged him tight that he suffered being unable to breath properly, yet might had his blood on his veins stopped on circulation for a while, "That's why I sometimes admire you more than Father, or even Sister sometimes, because you deserve the credit sometimes,"
For some reason, Robin hugged his partner, as it felt to be the right thing to do, it felt like she was like a sister to him for some reason, it was indescribable.
Cynthia's eye began to dipper, yet before she falls, a hand caught her, Robin gently rest her onto the bed, then he sat on the bed within thoughts, as his eyes slowly closed and drifted him into sleep.
In the midst of the forest, covered with tall trees, there was the sight of four people walking through the forest, but yet, as the walk continues, the skies gets dark from time to time and one of them stopped.
"I told you, it's getting dark already," Lissa said, with trembling tired legs,
*Bzzzzzz*
"Ech! Now the bugs are out! Disgusting noisy bugs that buzz and crawl over you and bite you when yo- Agh! One gouph in mah mouph! Blech! Ptoey!" Lissa shouted with disgust as a bug enters her mouth, stood there Frederick with his usual ordinary face expression, yet the lady wearing the Grimleal coat, perhaps being called 'Robin' cringed out by the sight.
Chrom then shook his head and smiled, "Aw, come on now, Lissa. Hardship builds up the character."
Then Chrom looked up onto the sky, "It sure is getting dark, want to help me gather firewood?"
There, Lissa was busy spitting out the bug out of her mouth, "Tpht! Tpht! Yeeeuck! I think... I swallowed it!" Lissa panicked,
Lissa then looked back at Chrom with annoyed face, "And about the firewood, I'll pass! Because I've built enough character for one day!"
Robin then stepped in, "I think we should probably think about food, I don't know about you guys, but I'm starving,"
Then Frederick replied, "Yes, I should perhaps prepare a little hunting and gathering is in order. Now, let's clear off the campsite,"
Three of them nodded.
...
Resting themselves in the soft dirt, in the midst were a fire bursting out the branch of wood.
Frederick was keeping his watch over the forest, as he kept his glare upon the coated lady, due to such suspicion, he kept himself a close watch at Robin, although, even though she notices, she doesn't really mind that much after all the odd amnesiac conversation she had spoken of, it's natural to get into such suspicion.
"Alright, you're coming with me for some hunting, Robin," Chrom pointed at her,
"Sure, I don't mind," she replied, yet before she dives into the forest, a hand held her shoulder, she turned around,
"I'll be watching you," Frederick muttered,
The lady nodded with a sweat.
...
In the forest, Chrom was walking with Robin, as the grasses and the bushes rustled by the wind,
"What should we hunt?" Robin asked,
Yet Chrom stayed shut as he looked at a certain direction, and pointed his hand,
Robin looked at the sight of what Chrom was pointing at, there was a pond, and as he looked clearer, there was a bear drinking peacefully at the pond.
Chrom carefully placed his bag onto the ground, looking inside and carefully took out a bow and an arrow, quietly stretched its string and aimed at the bear.
*Schooff*
The arrow detached from the bow and twirled across the mid air, and dug right into the bear's body, yet the bear remained in a little pain. The bear turned around, seeing two people within its sight, one hiding in the bushes holding a bow, yet the other one was in a middle of an open field, seven to eight meters away from her partner, yet before the two started to come up in action, the bear began to sprint forward charging in fast speed, it was heading towards Robin.
Oh Gods, where's my tome, Robin thought in panic as she dug into her coat, yet the bear gets nearer, There it is, she groaned, then began flipping through the pages, All I need is a thunder tome, then she began to flip through numerous of pages, the bear was ten meters away, Oh Gods, where is it!
"Robin! That bear's going to kill you!" Chrom sprinted towards Robin, yet no hope when the bear was already few meters away from her,
"Elthunder!" Robin shouted in panic,
*Boom*
A thunder crashed down from the skies as it pierced through the bear's body, yet the force of its charge still moved its lifeless body,
*Crash*
The bear crashed right at square to Robin,
*Thud*
Both Robin and the bear fell down to the ground, but leaving Robin being weighted,
Robin crawled out with pain, "Enngh.. Chrom, shoot it at the head next time," she groaned, yet Chrom shrugged it off, "It's not my fault, I haven't studied archery that much,"
Robin then replied annoyed, "Ugh.. doesn't mean you have to shoot it, I could've used my tome,"
"But I want to test my archery," Chrom murmured,
"Doesn't mean you couldn't test it later, Chrom, why not in a place like training?" Robin asked,
"Oh, uh... I don't know?" Chrom replied,
Chrom then spoke again, "Uh.. Let's just get back into the group,"
Robin sighed and followed Chrom's lead.
...
Chrom walked back to the group, lifting a lifeless bear in his shoulder, and yet the group already prepared a fire camp and a tent at the camp corner.
"What! A bear! I don't want a bear, it smells like boots!" Lissa shouted,
Chrom then chuckled, "Frederick, could you cook this for us?"
Frederick nodded, "On it, Milord,"
...
"Mmm, it's been so long since the last time I ate a bear meat," Chrom chewed the bear with satisfaction, "Delicious!" he dramatically spoke, then he viewed Lissa, poking out the bear meat with her fingers, with a face expressing a muck, "What's wrong, Lissa? Dig in,"
"Pass!" She shouted, "Couldn't you just spear us an animal normal people eat for once? I mean, come on! Who eats bear?! You're meddling with the wrong food chain," she muttered, "Right, Robin?" she asked, but no reply, "Uh.. Robin?" she asked again, now looking at Robin.
*Chomp* *Chomp* *Crunch* *Munch* *Munch* *Slurp*
All those noises coming from Robin, chewing her food with great satisfaction and taste.
Then Lissa sighed, "I suppose person would enjoy eating anything after not eating in days.."
Chrom chuckling seeing Robin looked forward at Lissa, "Just eat it, Lissa, meat and meat doesn't have difference after all,"
"Since when does meat taste like old boots! Wait! I'll take that back, old boots smells better!" Lissa shouts loudly,
But Frederick gently spoke, "Every experience make us stronger, milady, even those that we don't seem to enjoy at all,"
Lissa then skeptically looked at Frederick, "Really? Then why don't I see 'You' eating, Frederick?"
Frederick instantly give out an excuse, "Me? Well.. Ah.. I'm not hungry, I.. I had a large lunch, yes! A quite large lunch, possibly,"
Lissa muttered, "What do you mean by 'Possibly', Frederick,"
Frederick held his words back, "Oh... uh.. I mean 'of course', Milady, I was mistaken of my punctuation,"
Lissa groaned, "Yeah 'Right', Frederick,"
...
It was getting dark, the group already finished their food, yet someone's going to have to keep the watch tonight,
"Milord, I will keep the watch on Robin's tent, may I?" Frederick asked,
Chrom rolled his eyes, "Says Frederick the wary, you have my permission,"
...
Frederick was keeping watch, yet after an hour of guard, standing out nearby Robin's tent, he tried to hold himself from exhaustion, but then, Chrom went out from his tent, and sighed when he saw Frederick standing in front of Robin's tent.
"You know, Frederick? How about if I keep the watch tonight," Chrom asked,
"B-but Milord, Ro-" Frederick was cut out,
"No need to be suspicious, you'll head on to your sleep, and I will keep the watch of them," Chrom replied,
"Alright, Milord," then Frederick went into an unused tent.
...
Chrom was keeping the watch, sitting around the fire camp, and looking out through the forest as no sign was shown, but it felt so strange, it's as if something felt oddly wrong, Chrom felt the urge to scout, scouting for any suspicious signs, yet before he takes another step, one of the tents zipped out,
"*Yawn* What's wrong, big brother?" Lissa asked with heavy eyes,
Chrom then take a sight around, there was a breeze of peaceful wind, yet there still was a feeling of cautiousness, he skeptically tried to find it, yet no clue to be heard, then he looked back at her, "Sorry to wake you up, but something felt amiss,"
Lissa groaned, "Define that word 'Something',"
Chrom then shrugged, "Not sure, I think I'll have a look around in a bit,"
Lissa then muttered, "Not alone! I'm coming,"
Chrom smiled and replied, "Thanks Lissa,"
...
Both brother and sister walked around the forest, examining the forest with detail, yet finding only the wind whistling across the trees and the grasses.
"It sure is dark... and quiet," Lissa replied, "Where did the birds go,"
Chrom replied, "Something is wrong here,"
*CRAAACK*
The ground suddenly trembles aggressively, Chrom was holding his balance, yet Lissa was traumatized due to the sudden sensation,
"Aaaah! Chrom!" Lissa cried out in panic,
Chrom, who was still holding his balance, "Gods! What ha- Augh!" Chrom almost lost his balance, "What's this madness?!"
He then grabbed Lissa tight in grip, "Lissa! Stay close!"
Then, behind the forest, lurks something that shoves away the pine trees hard,
Chrom took the detail, then pushed Lissa, "Run!" as she gets the early sprint, then Chrom followed, yet behind them, a fiery ground sputtered off within a great crack, then fell within a great speed, yet hitting the ground, giving a burn onto the oak trees being fired,
Sprinting as fast as how their feet could bring them, Chrom saw a safe spot, then they both jumped.
...
Robin woke up, unzipping her tent, she doesn't see Chrom, Weird, then she began to unzip two tents only to find no one sleeping, then she opened the last tent, seeing Frederick sleeping with no blankets as he was perfectly covered with armor.
"Hey, Frederick," Robin spoke quietly, yet he's still sleeping,
"Frederick," she spoke normally, yet no answer came,
"Frederick!" she finally shouted, now Frederick's eye blurred and began to see Robin calling him up close,
"Hey, Frederick, have you seen Chrom and Lissa somewhere?" Robin asked,
"Isn't Chrom on the watch?" he asked, and began to look outside, only to see a fire burning out the remaining small logs, with all tents opened,
Frederick got out of his tent, giving a glare at Robin, skeptically looking for any suspicious acts, yet couldn't find one when she remained confused.
Carefully, Frederick was giving a track onto the ground, looking at footstep that was previously being stepped out onto the ground, "These footstep might have belonged to Milord," he said, then looked at another marked steps, which belonged to Lissa, "This one's predictably Lissa's footstep, they must have been walking towards that way," Frederick pointed onto the direction Chrom and Lissa have walked to,
"Why would they both go out in the middle of the night?" Robin asked,
"I have no idea, yet we need to get on haste and find them now," Frederick held his lance,
"Alright, I'm coming," Robin said, holding a tome and a sword with her.
...
Chrom was out of the woods, so was Lissa, they both were seeing the fire burning out the trees and meteors falling off the skies, yet Lissa was exhausted, gasping for air, and began to look around as she caught something, it was something glowing out in the skies, neither it was a meteor,
"Chrom! Look! What 'Is' that thing?!" she shouted, pointing at the certain glow,
Chrom looked at the certain direction she was looking at, then the glow formerly shaped differently as it became somewhat.. like a portal. Yet after the portal was formed, something inside of it came out, there was two bodies that seemed to belong to humans, they seemed to be barbarians, yet after being released from the portal, they fell onto the ground hard, Chrom was aware, yet Lissa cringed seeing such thing, she thought of how their bones might break with such a high fall, yet they woke up, standing there like an undead creature, then they opened their eyes, revealing a red glowing eye.
Chrom held his Falchion tight, then one of these creatures sprinted in such high speed, yet Chrom did the same, and slashed his Falchion across the creature's body, but it seemed to feel no pain at all, the creature turned its head around, turning it around over the limit human being can do, then spun its axe that it nearly hits Chrom as he came out to block it with Falchion on Reflex, then he parried the axe away and knocked the creature with his shoulder as the force dragged the creature to the ground, Chrom then jumped up high and took a quick jab upon the creature, then it slowly vaporized into purple smoke.
Chrom took a check on Lissa, there she was, cornered by the other creature by the stones while Chrom was all distracted,
"Lissa!" he shouted,
Began sprinting as fast as his feet could bring him, but he was too far non the less, yet before the creature hits her, an unknown figure appeared out of nowhere
*Clang*
A 'swordman' was in her stead, preventing the deadly axe from slashing her, 'he' was wearing a mask, unknown to be seen from identity, when 'he' struggled blocking the axe, "Help!" he shouted,
Chrom went out with his Falchion, and prepared a slash across the creature's body, but just few meters before preparing the slash, the 'swordman' spun 'his' sword around and made a deadly horizontal slash across the creature's body as Chrom gave an additional slash.
Lissa, looking at the sight, faced an impression, looked back at the 'swordman' sheathing her sword.
"That's quite the way," Chrom said, looking back at the 'swordman',
"What is your name?" he asked,
'He' paused for a moment,
"There you are!" Robin shouted afar at the woods, Frederick instantly came up upon them,
"Milady! Milord! Are you hurt?" Frederick asked in panic,
Lissa then noticed those voice, turning around, now seeing two people who walked out of the woods, "Frederick! Robin!"
Robin then looked at the burned field, "Are those horrific creatures common to exist in this land?"
Chrom shook his head, "They're not from Ylisse, I swear that,"
Frederick looked in detail at the two, "No one is injured?"
They both shook their heads,
Frederick exhaled in calmness, "Thank the Gods,"
Lissa then sighed, "Thank the masked man who saved me, if it wasn't for him, my head would b-," she paused for a moment, looking around,
"Hey, where did he go?" she asked,
Frederick then held his palm open, "We can worry him later, right now, it's about putting these things into.. the blades,"
Lissa nodded, then Frederick looked at the enemy, glowing red eyes and giving a death stare that was meant to starve for blood, "Eyes open now, there's nothing we know about these enemies we're going to fight of,"
Chrom nodded, "Right,"
Robin examined the field carefully, seeing abandoned and destructed structures, "Are those..."
"Abandoned forts, yes," Frederick replied and nodded,
"Then, we should take a shelter in them, it'll be giving us the advantage upon fighting harder enemies, and no doubt they will offer disadvantages in battle," Robin said,
Then Chrom and Robin took in position as a partner, while on the other side, Frederick and Lissa were paired off as a partner, then the battle begins,
Chrom led out a blow at the creatures as they backed away in every hard slash Chrom has given, with Robin, casting spells onto the creatures that heads out to slash Chrom in his blind spots, on the other side, Frederick were driving his giant axe onto the creature's head as it fell down dead headless, on the other side, Lissa was healing Frederick if any slash comes across him that he's incapable of dodging, they struggled across the creatures as they began to back away in every slash the creature gives, then..
One of the creature sprinted aggressively towards Chrom, charging in an inhuman speed, yet before it draws out its axe towards him, an arrow suddenly penetrated its head as the creature stumbled hard onto the ground, vaporizing into ashes.
"Captain Chrom! Wait up! I'm comin'!" a sudden shout revealed from the forest, it was a redhead woman riding a horse, holding a spear with her,
She groaned, "Ugh! I knew I shouldn'ta left 'em goin'. Alright, ya ash-faced freaks! Which one of you boys wants to fit your heads with lance first?"
Robin realized something, "Wait, if you're a cavalry.. then who recently shot the arrow?"
"What arrow you're tryin' to talk about," she asked,
Then, in the bush was a sudden rustle as it got out of its position, he was a man with a light blue hair, holding a bow which meant to show him as an archer,
"Hold on, Milady!" he said,
"Muh?" she turned around, now in eye contact of the man,
He then spoke in a dramatic voice, "Life may be long, but attraction is fleeting! Would you leave me in your sweet dust? Leave the war onto the warriors, my dear bird! A beauty such as you shall be needed a wage of love,"
Sully then scratched her head, "... Who the hell are you?!"
Virion then replied, "Ha! Is the lady curiously attentive? Oh of course you are-it's only natural,"
Then Virion began his speech, "I am the Myth and the Legend! I am he who strides large across the greatest among history! I am the man who puts the 'Arch' in 'Archer'! My name, dear lady, is Vir-"
"Sorry, Ruffles, I got no time for this," she cut out, then began to shout, "Onward!"
Archer frowned and then spoke quickly, "Virion!... Er.. my name. It's Virion. W-wait! Where are you going?"
He sighed, "Pray, at least tell me your name!"
She replied, "I'm Sully, and I am a Shepherd,"
Virion then got back to his speech again, "'Sully'! How magnificent! A starkly beautiful name, befitting its owner, truly."
Virion then get into his knees, "Will you marry me, my dearest Sully?"
Sully was fully confused, "Will I what now?"
Sully connected the dots carefully, "Oh wait.. I get it, this is all the jokes people did, 'I'll smack your face with my boots' that is the punchline,"
Virion then sighed, "I realize my manly figure and noble bearing can be overwhelming.. 'tis common!"
Virion then stood back up, and began his speech again, "So please, don't feel so pressured to answer right a-"
Sully then shouts, "How's THIS! For an answer?!" she raised her feet, then spun it towards Virion's stomach hard,
"OOF! But those shapely legs certainly have the hard pressure on kicking, can't they.." Virion backed away,
Then began to beg, "P-please milady! Allow me to accompany you, at least! For I myself is a cold, empty world without you. I shall be you most willing servant, and you, in turn, will give me a life purpose,"
Sully then sighed, "Fine.. Anything will do just to shut your mouth up,"
Virion frowned, yet still in eye contact of Sully, which gave her discomfort, "What?" yet, no answer came, "Stop starin' me like that!"
Robin began calculating the undead's position, "Hey, you're Virion, aren't you?"
The archer turned around, seeing the lady with the Grimleal coat, hoods on, "Oh yes, I am the Legend a-"
Robin then told him, "Get yourself into position, Virion, partner up with Sully,"
She pointed at the tall cedar tree near the forts,
Virion then sighed, "Could you at least just tell me your name? I'm Virion,"
Robin opened her hood, "I'm Robin, nice to meet you,"
Virion was absent, frozen with eye contact,
Virion then shook it off and replied, "Nice to meet you, Milady, your name magnificently benefits its true owner, will you marry me, my dear? We can leave the bloodshed to the warriors,"
"Enough of that, please?" she asked politely, "I chose myself to battle," she shrugged off, then sprinted towards the undeads.
Virion sighed and walked towards Sully who's riding her horse,
Robin then began her plan, "Chrom, wanna partner up?"
Chrom nodded, then Robin called Frederick, "Hey Frederick, get those archers out, knight armors are impenetrable by most arrows,"
Frederick nodded and Robin faced Lissa, "And as for you, Lissa, get behind Frederick in whatever direction archers are pointing at, heal him whenever his weak spot is attacked, and if Chrom, me or any other friendly allies gets injured, tell Frederick to move by his position towards the ally, as for you, follow him from behind,"
"On it!" Lissa shouted and held her staff.
Robin then faced Sully, "You're a calvary, aren't you?"
Sully then answered, "That's my role!"
Robin smirked, "I suggest you probably need to partner up with Virion,"
She pointed at the man standing behind Sully, who's pulling out the string of his bow, testing out his archery, who began to walk towards Sully,
"I'll accompany you," Virion said kindly,
Robin sighed, "I know he may be a ruffle, but his archery skill does do the job,"
Virion smiled his archery skill was not doubted,
Robin then looked at Virion, "Don't get near these creatures, they may be mindless in the way I judge them, but don't underestimate their strength, I've seen how they fight,"
Virion nodded with determination.
The undeads are slowly walking towards them, growling with a voice, unknown to the world, then all at once, the warriors sprinted in speed towards them.
There on the middle of the battlefield, or perhaps be called as fortress, there fights the skillful warriors against the unknown red eyed creatures within, they all fought fiercely as every creatures that were slain by the paths anguished into smokes of purple and slowly disappears.
in the middle of the field was Chrom, who's fighting with the Divine Sword, the Falchion, penetrating jabs through the creature's body until every each one of them he slain turned into dust, along side with him was Robin, using her bronze sword that could possibly give a deadly slash to who has a great skill of using it, as for using her tomes to attack any enemies that comes out from the range, or possibly using wind spells as projectiles to prevent arrows from hitting her or the other warriors.
Not far from the battlefield, two partners were cooperating with such a great connection, one, who wears a heavy armor, it was Frederick, riding his horse, slashing towards the enemies with his deadly lance, any arrows that aimed towards him slipped or possibly shatter by such force earned from his sizable armor, making him nearly indestructible against arrows, behind him was Lissa, healing any wounds that appeared from any attack given from the undeads.
Then there was Sully, fighting along side with her partner, Virion, riding her horse within great speed that her lance jabs can possibly pierce through an armor of an undead knights, leaving the armors in hole when they turned to dusts, then her partner, Virion was aiming with an incisive accuracy, being capable of killing two undeads by the head with arrow penetration whenever he sees them lining up in a row.
There behind the undeads were their chief, holding two sharp and deadly axe, "Must... Kill.. Prince... GRAWWL!"
Sprinting in an inhuman speed, he charged towards Chrom,
"Arcthunder!" Robin shouted, then light formed the skies
*BOOM*
The light pierced through the chief's body, it lied down, nearly dead, as for Chrom, he jumped high into the high air and let out the last blow,
*Sweesh*
There the chief was cut in half, slowly disappearing into ashes, and it was gone.
Frederick then walked towards them, "It seemed all the creatures has perished,"
Then he looked at the masked man, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, "This young man took care of the others,"
Yet the man spoken nothing, then Lissa spoke, "Um, I never got to thank you... last time, so.. Thank you, all I can say is you're brave," she smiled,
Chrom then spoke, "You saved my sister's life, I'm Chrom, may I ask your name?"
Then the masked man said, "My name is Marth,"
Chrom backed away, "Marth?! You mean the heroic king of old?! I mean.. you certainly fought like a hero, where did you learn your ways with a sword?"
Marth then spoke, "I'm not here to speak of myself, I came here to warn you about the calamity of this world is near, what you saw today was a prelude,"
Marth walked back to the forest, "You have been warned."
Robin then whispered to the group, "Not much of a talker is he?"
Frederick thought it for a while, and began to speak, "It appears his skills are to lie elsewhere, I'd take the chance that we'll hear him again, but now, I'm concerned about the capital, we might have to make haste in our sleep," they all nodded,
Lissa noticed something, "Hey, where's Sully and Virion?"
Chrom thought about it, "They're going to camp somewhere, and will make the haste to Ylisse,"
Lissa grunted, "But I wanna join them,"
Chrom chuckled, "I guess we can after we reach the capital,"
Lissa then muttered, "Brother, sometimes.. I hate you."
...
Sleeping in the tents, Robin woke up in the middle of the night, seeing a giant figure holding out a spear, seen by the shadows due to the fire camp lights were blocked, Robin sighed, and murmured, "Must be Frederick the wary indeed, yet it's creepy to see someone standing in front of my tent at the night like a stalker." she grimaced,
...
Sleeping on the floor, the snow haired man got up from his position, waking up, with dusts falling off his clothes, "What happened?"
Then he noticed he was still at the same hotel room he bought, yet, it's more dusted and messed rather than cleaned out. The man began hearing the sounds out in the window, a sound of swords clashing out with fierce sounds of inhuman screams.
Looking at the window, there outside was a girl fighting with a glowing spear as the undeads were pierced through them, cutting them in half as they slowly perished in purple smokes, it was Cynthia slashing out risens alone, in the range, there stood by a dark flamed figure with a cloak of glowing strips, it was the cloak the man have worn inside the hotel.
'Grima' the first thing that struck his mind as he broke through the window crashing unto the ground, finding what seemed to froze his veins, it was Grima using Cynthia as a hostage,
Grima then looked towards him with his cold glowing eyes, "Come to me, and join me, and I'll not harm her,"
That earns the confused look of the tactician, "Why? I'm a dead heart am I?"
Grima then explained, "Your heart may be dead, but the veins still has my blood flowing through," Grima said, which shocked Robin through his veins.
Then Cynthia protested, "Don't do it! He'll use you!"
But then he grimly shouted, "Silence! Insolent!"
Robin had two decision, he leaves her, she'll 'Die', and if Robin comes toward Grima, she will live but he'll be Grima, but will it risk out the world? Looking around the village, it seemed.. empty, no life spreads out at the houses, the fields or anything.
"Alright, but please keep my word that she will not 'Die' after I be one with you,"
Grima replied, "You have my word,"
Robin walked towards Grima, but Cynthia keep protesting, "Please, brother I'm begging you, don't-"
Robin then take a last view of his 'Sister' who is crying unable to move and spoke softly, "I'm sorry that I can't be a good Brother to you,"
He took his last vision, looking at his crying sister, then his vision darkened,
"Looks like 'You Failed', tactician."
*Gasp*
Robin woke up with clothes wet, he was suffocating and began to look around in panic, only seeing Cynthia sleeping peacefully, holding him like a pillow, he then raised up from his bed as he saw Cynthia beginning to have discomfort as she was missing her pillow, Robin swap himself with the pillow he recently had his head rested on, and she was back to her comfort,
Then he chuckled, "I guess I was a bad brother for replacing myself with a pillow for her to hug on after all,"
Robin walked over the window, seeing sights of people walking out through the morning, and some pulling out wagons,
"I guess it's r-" Robin was cut out when a sudden thought struck his mind,
'Your heart may be dead, but the veins still has my blood flowing through' he recalled from the quote Grima has given from his dream,
Robin began speaking to himself, "Is it true? Was all of my sacrifices worthless?"
"NOOO!" The Pegasus princess screamed and woke up from the nightmare she just had, in an instinct Robin instantly sprinted toward her,
"Sister! Are you alright?" Robin asked, not noticing himself calling her 'Sister'
She replied back crying,
"You-you risked your life just to save me, y-you let Grima take over you just to hope I could live, he then dis-disappeared as he's in your body, his last laugh in your body terrified me,"
Robin asked, "Did.. Did I say I wasn't a good brother to you?"
Then Robin was clearly surprised, then feebly said, "I.. I'm sorry,"
With that she began to cry again and hugged him, "Yes *Sniff* you did,"
"B-but 'NO'! No w-*Sniff* way would I ever see a *Sniff* b-bad br-brother risk his life for his *Sniff* sis-sister, but please! D-don't leave *Sniff* me, I don't want to *Sniff* see someone I cared for die again,"
Then she protested as she held him tighter, "You were *Sniff* never a bad brother to me! *Sniff*Y-you were more than a good brother to me, You're the 'best brother I could ever asked for!'"
With the word she stated, Robin was shocked, he reached his arms on her waist and hugged her,
"It's just a dream, everything's alright, Cynthia,"
They hugged for a while as she stopped crying, Robin spoke as he change the subject to change the mood, "Alright, want to go for more Journey?"
She replied wiping her tears, "A-Alright! Let's go,"
…
They packed up their stuff, and was ready to go. They are now to face the journey that awaits them, then Robin pointed out a castle few kilometers away and said, "We're now heading to Ylisse,"
With that they launch out. During their journey, it was to not know someone was looking after them, somewhere else,
"Almost purity of kindness was he, I never expected such a result in his and her dream,"
"Yet, he was the most selfless person I've firstly seen, he risked himself just to save the one he cared for and hoped them to live,"
"In fact in the way he share the care to the world without admitting it was why I trusted him, he holds the burden of his 'Sister' if it meant for her to live, I only wanted a wish, for him to success his goals,"
"He suffered so much, in the end, he only altered the history with a great cost, he deserves more than he could've ever expected, but I've expected one thing from his personality, 'He always cared for his friends more than he could ever had to care of himself,'"
"Maybe I'll give them back the memories I've erased,"
"Yet, it seemed that what Grima examined in his dream was actually the truth, proving from the way his blood functions, the veins still flows the blood of the Mad God,"
"It may have altered the way his blood flows in his veins, yet I can still continuously flow his blood even though I was formerly different,"
"I'll maybe show my existence to him and the younger princess in the future, may it be in a certain time,"
"May both of your journey be safe"
"How long again?" Cynthia asked repeatly,
"Around four more Kilometers," Robin answered repeatly every thirty minutes changing the numbers, then on a sudden neigh was heard at the bush,
"How long again?" Cynthia asked again,
"Around four more Kilometers," Robin answered,
"How long again?" Cynthia asked again,
"Around three more Kilome-" Robin was cut out when he heard noises in the bushes,
"Who's there!" Robin asked as reached toward his Levin Sword, pointing at the bushes as he stood infront of Cynthia.
Then, a pegasus went out from it's hiding spot, panicking as Robin pointed his Levin Sword at it,
"Oh, it's a pegasus," Cynthia spoke as she neared the pegasus,
"Are you sure it's a wise choice?" Robin asked, worried as Cynthia nears the Pegasus,
"Watch and see," She said, as she reached out the panicked pegasus,
"Easy now," she said as she carefully patted the Pegasus, "I won't hurt you," with that the Pegasus calmed down.
Robin was impressed she could calm a Pegasus as fast as Sumia did in his previous timeline, and she did it in such a young age. Must be inherited from her mother Robin thought,
Then Robin began walking toward Cynthia as the Pegasus began to panic a little, "Sssh, he's not going to hurt you too,"
She patted and shook certain part of the pegasus, as it calmed down again.
"I'm actually impressed!" Robin spoke with surprised tone,
"and most surprisingly, ou did calm down the pegasus as fast as Sumia did in the past timeline, in such a young age," Robin said,
"It's nothing, I got used to it, want me to teach you how to be a Pegasus Rider?" Cynthia asked,
"Hmm.. Later in the future, I guess?" Robin said, thinking he should stop the time from coursing it's repeat first, and to see who was the woman that recently saved the Southtown village,
"Anytime brother," She said,
Then they take a walk to Ylisse, on their last kilometer of walk in Ylisse, they heard a stem cracking by the bush, this time, there was no signs or sounds of animal as the figure slowly followed them on their way, then Robin broke his limit of suspicion
"Who's there!" he drawed his sword pointing at the bush again, then the figure got out of it's hiding spot, it was a blue haired woman wearing a mask of a butterfly shape, then both of them said,
"Lucina?"
"Sis?"
"You probably have known me by my sister's talk," She said, now in her original tone,
Her sister cut the last part out, "Actually, he's from another timeline, sis,"
Then that got the confused look of her elder sister, the younger sister spoke again,
"He's Robin, from another timeline,"
And then the elder sister protested, "Cynthia, this is better be a joke, Robin's a woman, not a man, he's probably an impostor trying to make you 'Believe' in him,"
Robin cringed at Lucina's reply as he awkwardly stand by doing nothing,
"Then let's see how you deal with this, 'Robin'" Lucina began pointing the Falchion at Robin, before Cynthia gets in her battle stance,
"Woah, calm down Lucy, I didn't do anything," Robin shouted in panic
The elder sister went for a stab, but Robin instantly parried it with his Levin Sword, holding his Levin Sword with two hands to lighten the difficulty, Lucina fiercely attacked, while Robin simply parried every attack Lucina had as he began to back away, not wanting to have both of them hurt,
"Cynthia, a little bit of help?" Robin asked while blocking incoming Falchion blows,
"On it!" She said as she began to open her bags open,
"Lucy, calm down!" Robin tried to cool her down, but as he called her 'Lucy' she began to expand her attacking speed as she tried to break through the parries Robin have created,
"You'll pay for corrupting my sister you Impostor," Lucina shouted, and continued fighting.
...
At few meters away was Cynthia, throwing off objects from the travel bags,
By Naga, where did I put that Falchion? I need to try to remember where did I previo-wait, she looked at a spear sheath that have been placed in her back position all the time, she opened the sheath and saw a Falchion, with it's long grip being held for spear holder, her eyes widened, yet before she raise the spear Falchion, she saw another Falchion within her sheath, now her eyes reach its limit of being wide,
"Got it!" Cynthia shouted, she was holding two Falchion, one in a shape of spear, the other one in a shape of sword.
As Robin saw two of the Falchion being raised by Cynthia, at first, he was surprised she actually have two Falchions with her, he asked Lucina, "Hey Lucy, turn around," Robin asked while still parrying the blows created by the Falchion Lucina held,
"Please Lucy," But she resisted, not accepting the pleas and tricks that Robin might pull out,
"I guess I'll have to do it in a hard way," Robin said with a sigh as he began to fight in one hand, now that his skill increased dramatically, he was able to parry incoming attacks within unique parry, as Lucina was surprised that all her strikes were being deflected hard all on a sudden, as Robin found a counter attack of Lucina was to make on attacking him,
"I might have to make you look," Robin muttered,
The Falchion was to hit Robin, which is exactly what Robin wanted to happen, as right on a calculated time, he spun his Levin sword as it switches side from parrying to pushing the Falchion, then Robin, using the Levin Sword shape as an advantage, rotates his Levin Sword as it pulls Lucina out of her grip, then he threw the Falchion with his Levin Sword, spinning up in the high air as it lands toward Cynthia, landing as it stabbed the ground in front of her.
Lucina was shocked and wasn't able to process what exactly happened, then she lost her balance and fell into the ground, but before she fell, a hand caught her right at the twentieth angle of her fall,
"Got'cha," Robin said,
Then a shout was earned from Cynthia, "That was a HEROIC Fight!"
Robin nodded at Cynthia, "Right, show her the proof Cynthia. Now, Lucy, see this,"
Lucina was then shocked with eyes widened, she didn't want to believe it, but she was seeing 3 Falchions in front of her, but strangely, one of them was long grip as it looked like a spear.
At the Plegian Castle,
"It seems we have located another Fellblood in this timeline, the matter of fact I know is that this Fellblood is a male gender, yet as I anticipated the information available, the heart of this Fellblood has died," said the Grimleal,
Then a feminine figure appeared in the shadows of the Plegian Chamber, "Male gender? Interesting. Whenever you see him coming, bring him to me,"
"May I ask something that may be foolish, master Grima?"
"You have my permission,"
"Why is that you needed this fellblood if his heart has died?"
"Because his veins still flows 'My blood',"
"Alright, your majesty, but the results of information I've earned was that he had a future child journeying with him, who also came from the same timeline he came from,"
"In what way does they lead him?"
"Not enough information was obtained, your majesty, all I know from reports were to be shown from mercenary named 'Severa',"
"Alright, but still, I want you to 'Capture him'!"
"Alright your majesty," The Grimleal bowed
"Don't disappoint me, Excellus,"
"I will not, master Grima," Then the Grimleal said and procceed to leave,
The Grimleal came into an old abandoned barn house, meeting a rope tied mercenary with a red hair and face that is covered within a cloth, sitting in a chair connected to the ropes, "No thank you for the information, milady,"
He then disappeared within laughter,
"Ywwou wffill fwwwuckinn mpfway fmmpor ffdwis!" she muffled angrily in difficulties as the cloth covered her mouth, then everything turned dark.

- Review
pofehof: I am confused, if Cynthia is going to be a "sister to Robin", why is she in a threesome with Robin and Lucina? Are they going to fight over Robin?
Answer: That was an accident, I've fixed it already though. I wasn't sure how pairing actually works, thought it would only be about relation of somebody close with them, thanks for the warning btw.
- Announcement
It's been a long holiday, not knowing what to do, I got the idea to create a story of Fire Emblem at the near end of the holidays, school's gonna come tomorrow, I'll be busy and will be unable to post chapters in a single or two days, sorry about that. I'll probably post chapters every week or a two if I'm totally busy. Thanks for the visit though.
