When we heard the Divine Dragon was coming to fight along side us the morale of the troops increased exponentially. While the common troops were eager for her arrival I was worried. I wasn't afraid of her I was nervous about the reactions of the common men. Not all of them were her followers the majority was not but every man who has ever fought a war knows that power should be respected and a Divine Dragon is powerful. One great warrior cannot defeat thousands on his or her own and if Naga was going to fight she would have to follow my strategy. The possibilities of having that type of powerhouse with us could save thousands of lives and tip the scales of battle. I am not arrogant enough to believe I could win the war on my own, if I could Chrom, Morgan, and the others would be safe. I will wait to meet this holy figure of Ylisse to judge, I cannot put the army at risk by making a mistake.
Tiki however has not been seen since she brought the news to high command the normally serene girl had been seething with anger at the joy of Chrom. It was obvious she didn't want Naga here, whether it is for her protection or another reason was unknown. I found the presence of Tiki during her announcement to be uncomfortable and tense unlike her usual calming presence and aloof attitude. However a crazed dragon on the loose would not be good and decided to set of and search for her.
"Tiki, are you alright?" I asked seeing her sit upon a rock by a shimmering pond not wearing her usual serene expression upon her face.
"I am fine Robin just give me some space, ok?"
I could see the pleading look in here eyes she wished to be alone. I had always felt an attachment to Tiki for some reason unknown to me I care about her. Why is a mystery to me but I felt a filial connection with her. Her striking beauty is not a factor for me unlike many in the camp. I felt my bonds with her might be stronger than even Chrom.
"I can't do that, my dear lady I might not remember what my parents taught me but I know that they would be disappointed if I left a lady alone when she is upset." I said this as suave as I could but by seeing the quirk of her lips it apparently didn't work too well.
"Please leave," she pleaded with a sense of finality that I ignored.
"I apologize but I can not, at least not until you tell me what is bothering you. I am your friend Tiki we have been through too much to leave you to your own devices in a situation like this."
"I concede Robin but my troubles are deeper than any mere man could understand," she explained with a pointed look as if daring me to contradict her.
With an unusual infuriated look that is usually reserved for killing risen by the masses with Chrom, I began my defense; "No normal man is found in a field alone wearing the robes of a Grimieal with no memory except how to kill with magic and a sword. No average Joe is told he is the son Validar and have his mind controlled and than told he is the reincarnation of Grima. No that is something that only happens to me."
She was clearly shocked from my outburst and looked ashamed for insulting me. She seemed to find her reflection in the pond below much more intriguing than looking at my face. Like a scolded child she blushed lightly and muttered a quick apology, which was easily accepted by me.
"It's a long story you know," She said, at my confused look she continued, "I have lived since Marth was a young prince trying to retake his kingdom my problems a stem from my mother the same woman may here are overjoyed to see. I cannot explain why she is doing this, helping people isn't really her idea of a good time." At my still bewildered look she began here story.
