Chapter two
"Spells"
"Thoughts"
Robin's POV
I woke up with a start, my heart running rapidly. What happened to me? Once I got my heartbeat to slow down, I began to look around. Where am I? I then looked down at my body. I silently gasped at the injuries. What happened? How did I get all of these injuries? Suddenly all the events flowed into my brain. I looked around more fearfully. Where's Allan? He shielded me from that blast earlier. Is he dead? I then heard a noise behind me. I turned around with a hand on my fire tome.
"Lady Robin! Why are you about? You are still injured and moving will make it worse" Allan scolded me. I rolled my eyes. Why is he always like this? At least he is alive and acting like himself. He is my best friend and my bodyguard, but sometimes he acts like my mother. Not like I actually know my mother. I quickly stop my thoughts from going down a dark turn.
"You are always too careful Allan. Live life on the edge! Life's too short!"
Allan tries to retort, but his staff glows with red energy. He immediately grabs it and lowers to a battle stance. He quietly motions to me, and I grab my bronze sword and my fire tome under my cloak. A trio walks up to us.
"Greetings fellow travelers!" A man in blue hair cries out. Allan strolls out to meet them. He starts to strike up a conversation with the man, allowing me to size up the trio and prepare plans if the three attacks. It is typically how we do things. He talks to strangers and I, as the tactician, can come up with plans on the fly.
I analyze the trio. The blue haired man seemed to be the leader of this small group and wore light armour. Blue hair? That is strange. Maybe I should call him blueberry. The girl next to him seemed to be a little on the short side, possible even shorter than me. Finally I am not the shortest person in the world! Even when I was little, I was considered to be the shortest person in me friend group, which comprised of me, Allan my bodyguard, Tharja, and Henry. The girl also carried a staff on her back. Why does she have a staff? Allan is the only battlemage I know and he taught himself the ancient ways. She also looks too young to be in any fighting.
I decided to study the last person. The first thing I noticed is his armor. Plates upon plates coated his body. Wow he is very buff. Wait is that suit under that armor? That can't be possible, he would be cooked alive. He sat on top of a horse, which wore steel horse armor. He carried a silver lance, a bronze sword, and a bronze axe. I nervously fingered my fire tome. Lovely, a Great Knight. Great knights were hard to come by, and even harder to defeat. Maybe Allan can take on him, while I can take on the blue headed man. The girl doesn't seem to be good at fighting. We can definitely defeat them. I gave myself a fistpump.
I winced at the pain that came after. Oh right, we are injured. I can barely stand and Allan's injuries were worse. Looking at Allan's battered body scares me. Holy Naga, he got wounds upon wounds! The blast must have hit him harder than I thought. It is a miracle that he is still alive, but I shouldn't be surprised. I then find myself remembering the time where we were children. Allan was introduced to me as a bodyguard. I was seven, and Allan was ten, but he still did everything he could to do to please me. He was my first friend and even freed me from my "home" to save me from being sacrificed to the shadow dragon Grima, going against her father's wishes and everything he has been taught. He is the best friend everyone could ask for.
Her thoughts were interrupted by Allan as he walked near me with the girl in tow.
"This girl, Lissa, is a cleric and she can heal your wounds." He said, motioning to the girl.
Lissa smiled then raised her staff. The staff orb glowed with a pleasant green light and Lissa touched the orb to my body. I sighed as she felt her wounds slowly close up.
"Thank you Lissa." I said as Lissa applied the green orb to Allan's side.
"No problem!" She chirped.
The great knight looked down at Robin and me with a big frown as he asked, "Now that you two are healed up, can you clarify where you two came from?"
Allan answered, "Why would you like to know?" He unconsciously grips his staff. "How do I know you don't want to use the information to hurt Lady Robin?"
I facepalm. He's doing it again. Can't he see that I can protect myself? I watch as Allan and the Great Knight start an argument. I looks at Blueberry and Lissa, who stares at my bodyguard in awe.
"He is just like Frederick. Thats creepy." Lissa mumbles while shivering. Blueberry only nods. What do you mean another?
"What do you mean another Fredrick?" I ask the two.
"Frederick," Blueberry motions to the Great Knight, "is our bodyguard. Lissa here is my sister. My name is Chrom." He held out his hand for me to shake. I was about to shake when Allan took a hold of me.
Allan stares at Chrom. I give Allan a questioning look at his behavior. What is he doing now?
"How do I not know if you are trying to kidnap Lady Robin?" He cries. Overprotective Mama mode on. Great. He then puts me down. "Are you okay Lady Robin? Did he hurt you? Is your body working normally? Did he put any hexes on you?" I rolled my eyes as Allan runs around me inspecting for any wounds. Lissa and Chrom looks on with horror.
"He is even worse than Frederick!" Chrom whispers to Lissa. He then clears his throat, getting the attention of us.
"Hello Allan and Robin. Lissa, Frederick and I are part of this group called the Shepherds. We are looking for people to join us and we would like for you to join us."
"We can't trust them. What if they are spies!" Allan and Frederick yells together, and looks at each other.
"What kind of Shepherds are you? I don't see any sheep and no one herds sheep in full armor!" Allan further exclaim. Chrom opens his mouth to explain, but is interrupted by a villager that sprints up to the five of us.
"Help us Shepherds! Our village is being raided by Plegian bandits!" He yells at Chrom. Chrom immediately throws up a hand gesture and the trio runs to the direction of the nearby village. I grab the elbow of Allan and began to drag him with me to help out the "Shepherds", Allan protesting along the way.
A/N Hey guys! Welcome to the second chapter of my story. This is actually my first story and English is my second story, but I will try my best to make this a great story. The chapters will mostly revolve around Robin and Allan. Their POV's will probably alternate every chapter. Updates on the story will probably be up every three days, or in a week. It depends on my writing speed. I started a poll on what the pairing of Robin and Allan should be. If there is a pairing that you want to see, but is not on the poll, leave it in a review or PM me.
