It was dark. Well Robin wasn't expecting much from his dreams but just darkness. Well it's safe to say that he was unimpressed until.
"Well doesn't this remind you of anything?" A familiar voice said that chilled Robin to the bone.
"Grima." Robin said turning around and saw his doppelgänger.
"Oh what the matter you miss me." Grima said walking up to him.
"What do you want?" Robin said with anger in his voice.
"Oh so angry and in all reality I should be the angry one seeing as you took my name." He said
"I took it to remind myself of my... our sins." Robin said.
"Are you trying to guilt trip me again?" Grima asked him.
"No. Now leave me phantom!" Robin yelled.
"How can I leave you?" Grima asked before engulfing himself in dark energy and turning himself into his dragon form. "When I am you!" And charged at Robin causing him to black out.
...
"You will never be rid of me."
Was the last thing Robin heard before he shot up from his bed in a cold sweat and breathing heavily.
"Was it just a dream?" Robin asked himself getting out of bed and putting his coat on and putting his hood up.
After walking out of the barracks Robin noticed that it was early morning.
"Now where's Corrin?" Robin asked himself before seeing Jakob walking around.
"Ah Jakob I need to ask you something?" Robin said walking up to the butler.
"Ah Grima what can I do for you this fine morning?" Jakob asked the tactician.
"Fine. Anyway have you seen Corrin I need to tell her when where leavening?" Robin asked.
Jakob pondered for a minute. "If she isn't sleeping in her private quarters she's probably training so try the training fields first."
"Thanks Jakob." Robin said and left towards the training fields.
...
Corrin was training in the field trying to fix her swordsmanship to relay more on her own skill instead of brute force as she usually does.
But it was going poor as instead of skillfully cutting into the dummy she keep destroying it.
"Dame it!" She yelled throwing her training sword into the newly created dummy. "How does Xander make it look so easy!"
"It's because you put to much force into your swings." A familiar voice said.
Corrin turned around and saw Robin walking up to her.
"Also your footing was off and well lets just say you need some work with how you hold the blade to." He said.
"Oh yah mister tactician all I've seen is that you use a tome not a sword!" She yelled in annoyance.
"Didn't I cut down a Nohr soldier with a sword you tossed me." Robin said.
"That doesn't count. And besides anyone can swing a sword." She said
Robin sighed and went over to the training weapons and picked up a sword. "Okay Corrin since we have awhile before we head out I'll spar with you."
"Alright." She said and picked up the sword she threw at the dummy.
The two then got into their combat stances. Corrin made the first move and changed at Robin and her blade meet Robin's. Robin then scanned the situation and noticed that her footing was. He the disengaged and attempted to sweep her legs Corrin noticing this jumped back before Robin then took advantage of the jump and began his assault.
As the two swords clashed Corrin began to noticed something as the two clashed again. He was holding back. Taking noted of this Corrin broke the clash and jump back.
"Your holding back!" She yelled at Robin stabbing her sword into the ground.
"Of course I did you can only learn so much by just watching someone fight you actually have to engage them in combat." Robin said putting the sword away. "If it makes you feel any better I'm sorry."
Corrin was quite for a moment until. "No I'm sorry for how I was earlier." She said. "It's just that... I need to get stronger."
Robin took interest in this. "May I ask why?" He asked.
"So I can protect everyone I care for." She said. "You see I didn't get to learn all I could from Xander and that's just it no one else wants to train me."
"Really you couldn't get Gunter or Jakob to teach you more?" Robin asked.
"No because neither of them want to push me because there afraid that they'll hurt me." She said.
Robin sighed. "Well then how about I teach you somethings I know." He told her and saw a small smile came to her face. "I will warn you that my style is a combination of three and is very different from anything from Hoshido or Nohr."
"I don't care if it will help me protect my family and friends I'll take anything you throw at me." She said and that brought a smile to Robin's face.
"Well then will start training tomorrow but for now rest up where heading out in an hour." Robin told her and began to leave until.
"Hay Grima." Robin then turned around and looked at her. "Thank you for helping me I appreciate it." She told him and Robin walked away with a smile.
...
After an hour our so the group had marched to Fort Jinya.
After a short march the group arrived onto the fort where Gunter stop them.
"So this is Fort Jinya?" He said.
"It seems so." Corrin said.
"So how are we going to do this?" Gunter asked and the group turned towards Robin.
"Well we need allies so as of now we are going to try to parlay with them." Robin said. "But be wary Corrin and Azura where branded traitors so prepare for a fight."
"Alright then here goes nothing." Corrin said and the group walked towards the fort.
...
When the group got up to it it was quite like that the fort was abandoned.
"Okay this is off putting." Robin said.
As Corrin was about to say something the group herd footsteps.
When they turned around thay saw a man with glasses.
"Yukimura?" Corrin said.
"You have some nerve showing your face around here, Lady Traitor." He said with venom dripping from his voice. "And the same goes for you, Lady Azura."
"Well that was uncalled for." Robin said gaining the strategist attention.
"I don't believe we have meet who are you and what are you doing with these traitors?" He asked Robin.
"You may call me Grima. And I serve as Corrin's tactician." He said trying to sound calm.
"Tactician that title has not been used in awhile." Yukimura said. "But no matter I have only came here to inform you that you should prepare for battle."
"Wait Yukimura if you just give us time to explain!" Corrin said trying to plead with him but it fell on deaf ears.
"It's no use I'd suggest we prepare ourselves." Gunter said going to find his horse.
"It seems so." Robin said.
"Please just listen to us!" Corrin pleaded again.
"Silence! I will not listen to someone who has betrayed both friends and family!" He yelled. "I wouldn't be surprised if you helped the Nohrians capture Lord Takumi! And if that wasn't bad enough Lord Ryoma has gone missing..."
"It can't be... My brothers are." Corrin tried to say something before she was cut off.
"Your brothers?! You think you are a member of the royal family?" He said he then tried to say something until.
"How about you shut up!" Robin yelled at him. "Did they not teach you not to disrespect women."
"Guards! Capture the traitors!" He yelled before running back into the fort.
...
After cutting their way into the Fort Corrin Robin and Azura made their way to Yukimura and Ryoma's retrainers.
"Corrin you and Azura districts the Mage and the Ninja i'll deal with Yukimura!" Robin yelled to the two.
The two agreed and choose their targets while Robin walked up to Yukimura.
"We can end this now just lay down your arms and listen to us." Robin said. "We are not the true enemies."
"Enough talk tactician you are working for a traitor so steel thy blade!" Yukimura yelled and throw a dagger at Robin but he dodged out of the way.
Robin then pulled out his tome and began to charge it. "It's time that I tipped the scales!" He said and sent a powerful Thunder spell at the strangest defeating him.
The two retrainers noticed this and disengaged Corrin and Azura to help Yukimura up.
Yukimura then looked over to Robin and said. "I have lost my life is in your hands."
Robin then put his tome away. "I do not want your life only that you would listen to us." Robin said and gave Corrin the signal to talk.
"We don't need to continue this senseless violence." She said. "Because I know how to end it! But we need help in order to do so."
"Helping you means turning against Hoshido. And if I must do so I refuse." Yukimura said.
"Yeah! We'll only trust you if you can bring back the lives you've taken." The Mage yelled at the group.
The ninja then stared at the group. "There is no other way..." He said. "I will sacrifice myself to get rid of these traitors." Then fire came from him.
"Get back! He intends to..." Before Gunter could finish Robin ran up and punched the ninja in the gut causing him to stop.
"Sacrificing yourself for something meaningless is stupid." Robin said.
Before the ninja could retort the Mage spoke up. "Saizo stop! As much as I hate to I agree with him."
Before he could retort again a voice from down the hallway yelled. "Brother wait!" And from the it two familiar faces came from it.
"Kaze! Sakura!" Corrin yelled out with some joy in her voice.
"What are you doing here Kaze?" Saudi asked his brother.
"Stopping you from making the most stupid decisions of your life!" Kaze yelled at his brother. "Listen Lady Corrin is trustworthy she helped me escape from Nohr and did so without worrying what would happen to her."
"Please listen to him." Sakura said. "She nor her companions didn't kill a single defender!"
Saizo grunted before readjusting him self. "Alright. But I still don't trust her."
"It doesn't matter our real enemy is not Nohr or someone hidden in Hoshido. They lie elsewhere." Corrin told them. "The who events weren't set in motion by Garon. Someone else is and they are far more powerful."
"So it's a third party then." Saizo said. "Then who is this enemy then?"
"I'm sorry but I can't say much. Only that a day will come when Nohr and Hoshido's skies will switch colors. If you want proof then meet us at the Bottomless Canyon."
"Do you think we are fools?" Saizo questioned
"No it's just that I can't say more." Corrin said.
"Well this waste of time." Yukimura said. "I have heard enough. Away with you."
Corrin tried to say something until. "This is a lost cause I don't think anything you can do will change his mind." Robin said. "Come we have work to do." He said and began to leave.
Corrin was about to fallow until. "Wait sister!" Sakura yelled
"What is it?" Corrin said turning around.
"Please take me with you?!" Sakura asked. "I'm not good at fighting, but I can heal wounds."
"Lady Sakura!?" Yukimura asked.
"I'm sorry Yuki, but I believe Corrin is telling the truth." She said. "So I'm sorry."
Yukimura was quite for a minute until he finally spoke up. "Just promise me you'll be careful."
"I'll try." She said.
"Brother, I am going with Lady Corrin on her quest." Kaze said.
"Do as you wish." Saizo said
"Thanks you both and for believing me." Corrin said and then ran to catch up with Robin with Kaze and Sakura not far behind.
...
After Corrin had a small talk with Sakura and having her retainers ruining the moment the group was back at the castle.
"Today was an eventful day." Robin said popping his shoulder.
"You could say that again." A voice said and Robin knew who it was.
"Corrin what brings you here?" Robin asked.
"Well you said that you would help train me in swordplay and since we're both free I'd say now is a good time to start." She said. "So what do you say?"
"If I say no will take that as my answer?" Robin asked.
"Nope." Corrin said with a big grin.
Robin then sighed. "Alright just give me a minute and I'll be at the field." As soon as he said that he saw Corrin with a huge smile and ran off. "Well now I see why Jakob is like that."
...
A.N: So I have decided that I am going to do pairings and yes I am going to do Robin/Corrin. Just don't expect it to be fast because of how Robin is right now.
Also I should clear somethings up. Yes Robin has some of Grima's power but at most all he could do is summon one or two Risen and that doesn't include controlling them. So all he has is his skill with a blade and his magic.
I would also like to thank everyone for their reviews and fav/fallows.
And as always constructive criticism is wanted.
Also if you're wandering why this is updating so fast is because I am inspired and I am currently playing Revaluations so yah.
And I'm sorry that if any characters are occ.
