Hey everyone chapter four is finally done. I'm sorry it took so long to get out, but I got distracted with school starting up as well as another fic and lost track of time. So in all its complete and unabridged glory I present The Return of Validar chapter four.


Chapter 4- Pursuit

Robin raced through Ylisstol trying to get back to his house. He had left Chrom, Cordelia and everyone else at the palace so he could go and protect Severa and Morgan. He was thankful to have his Dread Fighter armor back due to its ancient magic increasing his body strength thus allowing him to run insanely fast. The going was pretty easy, but he was stalled whenever he ran into a small pack of Risen.

Dammit Dammit don't let me be too late, Naga. He kept repeating this over and over in his head as he continued to run. As soon as he found his house the first thing he noticed was the house across the street had a gaping hole in it. Running over he found a wyvern and rider lying in the wreckage. He suddenly recognized it as Gerome and Minerva. Both of them were out cold.

"Gerome! Gerome! Wake up!" yelled Robin as he walked over and began to shake him violently. Slowly, but surely he began to wake up.

"Uhh… Robin, sir?" he asked groggily as though he had just walked out of a tavern.

"Gerome, where are Severa and Morgan?" Robin asked. "Do you know where they are?"

"Severa… and Morgan?" said Gerome. "Wait, I remember. I saved them from a pack of Risen that were getting into your house and then this sorcerer guy showed up. He blasted me into this building, things got foggy, and then I passed out."

"That bastard already has my children. He will die, and this time I'll make sure that he stays dead." Robin muttered under his breath.

"Wait", said Gerome still somewhat dazed. "Right before I passed out I heard the sorcerer say something about Origin Peak and a new Grima. He said one of them was to be the new host."

"What!" yelled Robin out loud. He began to understand the workings of Validar's plot, but he just couldn't bring himself to believe it was even remotely possible. I know I destroyed Grima. He can't resurrect him, thought Robin. Then again it was thanks to Grima that Validar survived the first time we killed him so the fell dragon still somehow being alive is the only possible explanation.

After thinking for a moment Robin decided the only way for him to stop this problem was for him to get to Origin Peak and defeat Validar once and for all. "Gerome", asked Robin. "Can you stand and walk on your own?"

"Yeah", came the reply. Slowly Gerome got up onto his feet. Robin took Gerome into his house and sat him down. After making sure Gerome was okay Robin went upstairs into the room he shared with his wife. Quickly looking into the armor chest in the closet he found two swords, a tome, and an axe missing. They tried to fight their way out. They are my daughters all right. Robin couldn't help but force a smile.

Turning serious Robin emptied all the weapons out of the box and pulled out a false bottom. Inside this new chest were the weapons he had saved in the hopes he would never have to use them, his strongest sword Mercurius and his tome Mjolnir. Taking them out and replacing the weapons he was wearing with these new ones he went back downstairs ready to fight.

"Gerome, I have one last question I need to ask you." said Robin. "May I borrow Minerva? I need to travel faster if I'm to catch up to Validar."

"No problem, Robin", replied Gerome. "You can take my Minervykins to save Severa and Morgan. Just make sure to feed her three times a day, and wash her at dusk to keep her scales shiny and lustrous."

"Umm thanks, Gerome", said Robin as he walked out. "I'll keep that in mind." Gods I don't think his apple even fell from the tree, he thought. Seeing Minerva already standing and oriented Robin mounted and Gerome came out to give his wyvern instructions on what was happening and a flowery farewell. After Gerome was finished Robin took off.

"Now, Minerva, let's save my children." yelled Robin.


Severa suddenly found herself sitting on a pile of sand. Looking around she tried to get her bearings. She quickly realized that she was no longer in Ylisstol. She found Morgan and baby Severa lying on the ground a few feet away.

"Morgan!" called out Severa to her sister. She tried to get up and see if Morgan was hurt, but she couldn't move any of her limbs.

"I wouldn't bother trying to get up", said a voice from behind her. "I have secured you with a very powerful binding spell. Only a master sorcerer could ever hope to break it."

Turning her head enough to see who was behind her Severa saw the same man who had kidnapped her, her younger self, and her sister in Ylisstol. "W-Who are you", she asked with fear cracking in her voice.

"You mean to tell me that you don't recognize your own grandfather?" said the man as he walked around Severa to where she could see him better. "Did your father never tell you who I was?"

In Severa's full view now she finally recognized the man. "You're Validar!" she cried out. "You're that sorcerer my father killed while trying to stop Grima". Wait did he say what I think he just said? Thought Severa. Did he say he's my grandfather?!

"Well now that you seem to remember me I'll tell you where you are", said Validar. "We are currently in the deserts of Plegia, and at the ruins of the Dragon's Table. I know you obviously remember that place. We are here because I plan to bring Grima back to life once again, and you and your sisters are going to help me do it."

"That's impossible!" yelled Severa. "Grima is dead thanks to my father and even if he could be reborn I would never be so daft as to bring him back to life!"

"That is wrong, young one. For you see, you nor your pathetic little sister will bring Grima back to life, your blood will. To be more specific, your fellblood. The piece of Grima that you and your sister carried with you all the way from that desolate future of yours. Granted only one of you carries the fellblood I need as only one of you carries the Heart of Grima. Fortunately that's a matter we can worry about once we get to Origin Peak. The only reason we are here at the table is to gather the last item I need for the resurrection. So that you may spend your final moments with your sister and your younger self I'll remove the binding spell and place a new one where if you move out of a certain range you will die."

After muttering for a few moments Validar looked up. "It's done", he simply said and walked off toward the ruins of the Dragon's Table. Severa quickly got up and ran over to Morgan. After quickly checking her for injuries Severa remembered her younger self lying on ground. She quickly took the baby in her arms sat down next to where Morgan lay still out cold. After a few minutes little Severa began to cry. "Don't cry, me", said older Severa and she began to cradle the baby in her arms the way she had seen her mother do countless times. Little Severa went back o sleep quickly. Older Severa then noticed that she too had been crying. Turning her eyes to the vast Plegian sky she thought Daddy, please come save us!
