"I was nothing until you found me. Would've rotted in the castle dungeons. But no. You gave me a shot to prove m'self. With the chance in my hands I'd do what I never could before. I'd save ya life."
It's why he'd come back here, to a time and place he could barely remember. A distant past. Almost fifteen years before Grima unleashed his power and brought everything to ruin.
"Miss Lucina's gonna hate it when she finds out I caught wind of her plan. But I gotta do this. I'll work with em if I have to. Here's hoping I don't run into m'self as a wee baby. That'd be a tad iffy."
He looked up to the sky, so clear and blue. Nothing like it was in his time.
"Ya have m'word, Robin. I'll look out for ya. You taught me so much. About time I do somthin' for you instead."
A smile, honest and heartfelt.
"I wonder what she looks like in this time? Just as fair 'n gentle, I'll wager."
Alrighty! There you have it. Voting has closed and the winner is Robin. She just edged out past Lucina at the last minute. As for the type of protagonist we're going to see? Well, I won't spoil too much. But how's this for an interesting idea.
A former young rogue turned apprentice to Robin in the future, shortly before she lost control to Grima. He's come back in time to help her younger-self, having deeply respected and cared for older Robin in his timeline.
You see, I liked the idea of a rogue and a servant. Thought I'd mix those and give them an interesting spin.
Thank you to everybody who took the time to vote and leave feedback.
If there are any more ideas or suggestions you'd like to share then feel free to do so. Just because everything is wrapped up here it doesn't mean I don't want to hear your thoughts.
I'll give one last update before the first chapter drops. Until then I have plenty for folks to read if they're bored, including a new chapter of Our Little Secret for all of the RobinXSevera fans. Again, take it easy.
