Chrom stood on a cliff looking at the remains of Grima beneath him.

"The war is ended, my friends. Never again will the fell dragon trouble our world."

Chrom clutched his fist.

"I owe you all more than words can ever repay. Especially Robin, who gave himself to save us all. To save all the worlds to come."

Lissa was the first to speak up.

"P-poor Robin… *sniff* After everything he did for us…"

"Don't cry, Lissa. We'll see him again. I'm sure of it. Remember what Naga said? That Robin would survive if our ties were strong enough."

Chrom looked at the sky.

"This isn't over. I believe Robin is out there…somewhere…And I'll find him. If it takes me the rest of my days, I'll find him…"

"You're Right! He has to be out there somewhere…And we'll find a way to bring him home." Lissa smiled. "Even if we have to search every open field in this whole stupid world!"

"I believe the same, my prince. Robin is too strong to simply disappear." Frederick said. "It falls to us to look after the realm until he returns."

"Robin had damn well BETTER come back!" Sully grinned. "If that blasted dragon truly got him, I'll be the one breathing fire!"

"He made a noble sacrifice, and I know my nobility!" Virion said. "And I know Robin shall someday return!"

"Robin has gotta be out there somewhere…" Vaike said. "How do I know? Hey, you don't question the Vaike!"

"I can feel it, too. Robin is out there waiting for us." Stahl said. "Though I surely will miss him in the meantime…"

"While statistically unsubstantiated, I have what laymen might call a hunch." Miriel said. "This hunch corroborates most of the statements made thus far."

"Robin, I know you're out there…I know you're not gone." Kellam said. "And no one knows more about being lost and found that me!"

"I wish he could have stayed with us long enough to see me grow stronger…" Sumia said. "But all the more reason to work hard between now and his return!"

"…He lives. I know it." Lon'qu said before smiling. "Some people just aren't the dying sort."

"If Chrom believes he's all right then so do I!" Ricken cheered. "Maybe I can work out some new magic to bring him home…"

"If he returns to us now, I might even consider making him tea. …Myself." Marribelle said. "Do you hear that, Robin?! ME, making TEA! You should be honored!"

"Let us honor Robin's regard for his warren. He was a true taguel." Panne said. "And a true taguel would not leave family behind…I feel he's out there!"

"If Robin's anythin' like me, he won't check out just 'cause a job is done." Gaius smirked. "Gotta collect on all the sweet rewards, right?"

"Too many times now have I watched loved ones give their lives for me…" Cordelia said. "I must hold on to faith that this time will be different."

"Oy, Robin! You daring to make Greagor celebrate alone?!" Greagor asked. "Greagor not rest until he drink you under table! Har har!"

"*Sob* *sniff* Robin's not gone! He's just…misplaced!" Nowi said. "I'll wait a thousand years for him if I have to!"

"Naga has a way of sending a ray of light into the deepest darkness." Libra said. "May Robin find that light, just as he became that light for us."

"He had better march back here and try again!" Tharja growled. "I only send people off on my terms!...Or in a casket."

"There will be one less set of eyes on me as I dance…It feels wrong…" Olivia shyly said. "Please come back, Robin! Please be out there somewhere!"

"Minerva says she still feels Robin is in this world…" Cherche said. "Also that he smells delicious, but that's neither here nor there…"

"Hey, Robin, everyone's dying to see you alive. We're sick to death of death!" Henry joked. "That reminds me of a good one: two Risen, a wyvern and a priest walk into a bar-

"I swear my life and blade to defend this future you have on, Robin." Say'ri sighed. "If you can hear me, swear that you will help me do so."

"He did what he had to do. That's the mark of a true warrior!" Basillio said. "He'll be back. I'd bet my sweet brown arse on it!"

"Bah! Leave it to Robin to take responsibility for all of us." Flavia muttered. "If he cared for us that much, I hope he knows how we still need him."

"Thanks to you and the others, I was able to change…" Donnel said. "And I've got more changin' to do! I wants ya to see it."

"You've done so much for me and all of my many, many sisters." Anna frowned. "You're an extra-special customer. I hope we meet again."

"I feel a soul straight and true pulsing in the darkness." Owain declared. "The hero…will return!"

"No tears today. I know he'll be back." Inigo said confidently. "I'll just have to wait, and…try to smile…"

"I won't cry! He'll be back I know it!" Brady declared. "And in the meantime, I'll write the finest song about him that ever was!"

"I am glade for our victory, but I wish it did not mean so sad a farewell…" Kjelle said. "I still have so much to learn. Come back and teach me."

"Now I know what it really means to be a hero…" Cynthia said. "But heroes always come back to fight again…don't they?"

"Fool why did you sacrifice yourself?!" Severa shouted. "I refuse to accept it! Return, Robin, or face my wrath!"

"He showed me that I have a future. That destiny can be defeated." Gerome sighed. "We have to believe we can alter destiny once more and bring him back."

"All this death…No more!" Yarne yelled. "Please, you've…You've got to come back…"

"The world is vast and full of potential unexplored!" Laurent declared. "I shall devote myself to discovering that art which might reunite us."

"No, this is all wrong…He can't be dead!" Norie sadly said. "He's out there. We have to be patient and believe!"

"This is all wrong. We can't just leave Robin behind." Nah cried. "I'll wait until the end of time for his return!"

"Robin put others before himself. No one can question his character." Tiki said. "But his work is not done. He is still needed here."

"Damn you, Robin! I joined this fight to meet my end, not secure yours!" Gangrel yelled. "I'll chase you to the ends of hell…and if you're there, well I'll drag you back!"

"How we die defines how we lived. This can be said of Robin." Walhart said before smiling. "But I expect there are more pages yet to be written of a man so nearly my equal."

"Robin…Come back…" Emmeryn said. "I need you…We…need you…This world…needs you…"

"…Robin. 'Twas a life lived grandly." Yen'fay said in regret. "…But was it lived to its end? I trow you are yet meant for more…"

"What? Robin dead before me? Preposterous!" Aversa spat. "Return, milord and you will have my service…"

"Robin could not have arrived at his decision easily." Priam noted. "But I won't accept it. This can't be the end of his story…"

"Father…you can't leave me now. Not like this…" Morgan cried. "I believe in you. Come back!"

"We have won our future, but we are in debt to so many sad memories…" Lucina said still in tears. "I pray at least one of those sadnesses will yet be undone."

Chrom looked at the Shepherds. Both he and Robin were blessed to have them as friends and family.

"Robin has secured for us all the most precious gift: a future." Chrom said.

"Now it falls upon our shoulders to protect what was given. I vow to give my all to healing the damage this war has wrought upon the realm. When Robin returns, I want him to see what his sacrifice bought."

He looked at the sky again.

"Robin…if you can hear me…You will always have a place here with us. Remember that."

Chrom smiled and took out a special medal he got from another world.

"Always. Right Henry?"

"Damn right he will Chrom." Henry said looking at the wizard's orb.

"I….I can't believe this is happening…." Tom said ready to burst into tears.

"No crying kid." John said. "He'll be back."

"John's right. We just need to believe in him." Henry said. "If Chrom and his army can do it then so can we."

"Robin is a lot like me. He's a hard worker." John smiled. "And hard workers aint' that easy to get rid of!"

"Robin was a brave man to do what he did." Lion said proudly. "And he'll brave through any trails he has to face to get back!"

"Robin's world is finally at peace." Tiger Lily said. "Let's hope he gets a chance to enjoy it."

"Yeah! I believe in him!" Tom said. "He'll be back in no time!"

"Robin not done yet!" Queequeg said. "He got more adventures to make!"

"Robin's smart! Really smart!" Scarecrow declared. "He'll find a way to come back!"

"Robin must be alive while at the same time dead at this moment." Randolph said. "He could be making new discoveries as we speak! When we meet again someday I will have to question him on the experience!"

"Ha, ha, ha! That Robin. Always leaping into the fray!" Fox laughed. "He will be back for more. No doubt about it."

"Robin is a true warrior. And true warriors do not give up." Califia said. "Not in battle. Not in life. He will return."

"His heart is strong. The life in him won't die so easily." Tim Man said. "And I now in my heart that he will come back."

"*sniff* It's sad that he had to leave now." Dorothy cried. "Come back Robin…we want to be able to meet you and the others again someday!"

"Robin lived a grand life. He has written a magnificent tale." Milton said. "But I highly doubt the story has ended yet."

"We all believe in you Robin." Kathrine said. "And we know for a fact that you'll come back!"

"It was an honor working with you Robin. You brought life to the Lady Liberty." The helmsmen said. "All the more reason to pray that we will meet again. I would like to fly with you and all your friends someday."

"It's incredible that one man can create so much. But it leaves a greater void when he is gone." The tactical officer said. "Return to your friends Robin. They are missing an important part of them."

"He was an honorable man." Queen Victoria said. "We must pray for his return. His world still needs him."

"He was what he was. A brave and heroic tactician…who gave his life to save his planet." Grant said. "But he will return someday. I feel it in my gut."

"He has done the impossible in his career as a tactician. He is a true man of miracles." Queen Ozma said. "He will return. Such a man cannot be so easily destroyed."

"He has dedicated his life to helping others. As he did with his decision." The wizard said. "I look forward to seeing what else he will do when he comes back."

"Do you hear that Robin?" Henry said looking into the sky where the rift was. "We all believe in you. We know you will come back! And when you do….let's meet again someday! You, Lucina, Chrom, Marth, Ike and Roy! We'll be waiting!"

The team saluted and had a minute of silence before General Grant addressed them.

"We should probably head back."

"Thank you for everything." Ozma said.

"We should be thanking you." Henry said.

"I will continue to monitor Robin's world. I will let you know if we learn anything." The wizard said.

"Thanks."

"I suppose all I can do now is pray that they succeed."

Marth turned to walk inside when he heard a voice.

"No. There is more to be done."

Marth quickly turned around to see a golden orb.

"That voice…"

Everyone set camp near Origin Peak. Despite their ultimate victory they did not feel like celebrating.

Especially not Lucina.

She sat alone away from camp under a tree with her face buried in her knees.

"Lucina."

The princess looked up to see her Father. Her mother Sumia was next to him. Behind them were Cynthia, Lissa, Owain, Basilio and Flavia.

"Hey. Want to talk about it?"

"I'm fine father." Lucina said standing up.

Chrom sighed. "Don't lie to me young lady. You haven't eaten anything. And you were sitting here for over an hour."

"Not to mention your beautiful face is stained with tears." Sumia said cupping her daughter's cheek.

Lucina was silent.

"Mom, Dad, I think I know what to do." Cynthia said from behind them.

The two of them stepped away so Cynthia could walk up to her sister.

"Snap out of it, Lucy!"

POW

Everyone was shocked at what Cynthia just did.

Especially Chrom, Sumia, Lissa and Flavia.

"OW!...What the hell was that for?!" Lucina shouted.

"It's something mother told me. She said captain Phila told her that a good slap will sometimes break someone out of their doldrums."

Everyone was silent for a few seconds until Lissa and Flavia started snickering.

"Mother?" Owain asked looking at Lissa.

Chrom and Sumia's faces turned red.

"What's so funny?" Cynthia asked.

"Cynthia, when you slap someone, you do it with an open palm." Owain explained. "You just punched Lucina in the face!"

"Um…It's the thought that counts?" Cynthia said nervously.

"HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!"

Flavia broke into a fit of laughter and Lissa fell to the ground laughing hysterically.

"Gods, that seriously hurt…" Lucian said rubbing her cheek.

"S-sorry, Lucy." Cynthia said.

"What's so funny to you two?" Basilio asked Lissa and Flavia.

"Ha, ha….Funny story…." Lissa said between laughs.

"Don't. You. Dare." Chrom and Sumia said glaring at her.

"Oh, don't worry you two. We won't let this spread all over Ylisse." Flavia chuckled.

"Lissa stop making a fool out of yourself and get a staff for my daughter." Chrom muttered.

Lissa got up and turned to Chrom.

"Oh, I don't think you're in a position to call anyone a fool big brother." Lissa chuckled as she walked back towards camp.

"You said you only wouldn't let this spread all over Ylisse." Basilio smirked whispering to Flavia. "So does that mean-

"Yes, oaf. I'll tell you when we get back to Ferox." Flavia chuckled earning a glare form the extremely red Chrom and Sumia.

"Ow…"

Lucina rubbed her sore cheek. Even after Lissa used her Mend staff it still hurt a little.

"I'm so sorry Lucy." Cynthia said.

"No, it's fine. I know you mean well." Lucina said. "And to be honest I deserved that."

"Why?" Chrom asked.

"I….I…."

Chrom put a hand on Lucina's shoulder. "It's okay dear. Let it out."

"…I should have said something to him." Lucina whispered before she started crying. "I could have begged him not to do it! When I came to this time I thought that all that mattered was the greater good and that I had to be prepared to give up anything for it! But then I meet Robin and fell in love with him! But even after everything he did for me a selfishly put my mission above all else! One time I told him I couldn't let my heart interfere with my duty but after Validar made him steal the Fire Emblem I thought I had to end him to save the future! But I couldn't kill him! He was too precious to me! To hell with the greater good! To hell with my duty! I don't even care that my mission is complete! Without Robin I'm empty! Nothing!"

Chrom and Sumia hugged their daughter and let her cry in their arms.

"It's okay…It's okay…" Sumia said. "He'll come back."

Chrom thought for a moment.

"Lucina, once ye get back to Ylisse I am going to announce that the war is over and then I will start looking all over the world until I find Robin. It could be our longest journey yet. But if you are okay with that then you may come with us."

"R-really father?"

"Of course. You will need to let your daughter know."

"Thank you."

After Lucina pulled herself together she walked out of the medical tent and went to find her daughter.

She found her in her tend huddled in a corner with her hood pulled over her head.

"Morgan…."

The girl looked up.

"Hello mother."

Lucina wrapped her arms around her daughter.

"Are you well? You can tell me anything love." Lucina said trying her best to emulate her parents comfort.

Morgan returned the hug and started crying.

"I'm scared mother! I….I don't know if I can go on without father!"

"I don't think I can either dear. That is what I needed to talk to you about."

Lucina parted from Morgan and looked at her in the eyes.

"I'm going with my father to look for him."

"Where?" the girl asked.

"Everywhere. I won't rest until he is home."

"Can I come?"

"I'm sorry Morgan but I can't take you with me for such a long journey."

"O-oh…" the girl said looking ready to burst into tears again.

Lucina gave her another hug.

"I'll keep in touch with you." Lucina said. "And I will ask mother and Cynthia to take care of you. I promise I will find your father. I'm sorry. I know it is selfish to leave you and I of all people know it hurts to not have your parents with you…but please be strong for me….I believe in you. You will always be our little girl."

"Please come back soon mom." The girl whimpered.

"Of course."

Robin was drifting in what seemed like endless darkness. Who knows how long he's been there? He could feel nothing. Maybe he was nothing.

Then he heard a voice.

"Ah, there you are! It took me a while to find you in this abbeys. To think you would be so eager to throw your life away right after you got it back from Grima."

Robin was too weak to even open his eyes.

"Mr….presi….dent…."

Sure enough the president looked at the man that was lying down.

"Robin, listen carefully."

…

"This isn't over. I believe Robin is out there…somewhere…And I'll find him. If it takes me the rest of my days, I'll find him…"

"You're Right! He has to be out there somewhere…And we'll find a way to bring him home. Even if we have to search every open field in this whole stupid world!"

"Chrom….Lissa…."

"That's right. And that's not all."

One by one Robin heard the voices of all those who believed in him. He heard all they had to say after the battle ended.

"Father…you can't leave me now. Not like this…I believe in you. Come back!"

Morgan…

"We have won our future, but we are in debt to so many sad memories…I pray at least one of those sadnesses will yet be undone."

Lucina…

"Robin has secured for us all the most precious gift: a future. Now it falls upon our shoulders to protect what was given. I vow to give my all to healing the damage this war has wrought upon the realm. When Robin returns, I want him to see what his sacrifice bought. Robin…if you can hear me…You will always have a place here with us. Remember that. Always. Right Henry?"

"Damn right he will Chrom."

"Henry?"

Next the words of all the members of S.T.E.A.M. reached Robin's ears.

Then he heard….

"Robin…."

"M-Marth….?

"You have a life to go back to. Don't discard the time you still have. Besides…didn't you promise me you will take care of my decedents and you're future?"

"Marth…."

"There is more you can do with your life Robin. Are you sure you want to throw that all away?"

"Roy…."

"You have too much and too many people to live for. Don't be a fool."

"Ike…."

"I told them about what happened." The president said. "It was nice getting to speak with them again. But anyway, Naga told me that you're ties with everyone are strong enough to bring you back. See for yourself."

Robin slowly opened his eyes and sat up to see images of his friends the Shepherds all smiling at him from Chrom to Lucina. He turned around to see images of the friends he made in the other world from Henry to Ozma. He looked back and saw images of Marth, Ike and Roy standing next to the president.

He could hear all of their voices calling his name one at a time.

"Robin."

"Robin."

"Robin."

The images turned into spheres of light before they entered his body.

Suddenly it began to shine.

"Shall we get going?" the president smiled offering a hand.

Robin smiled and reached up and grabbed it.

The two of them started floating higher. Away from the darkness.

A bright light shined above them.

Robin smiled and closed his eye.

"It feels so warm…"

The president smiled.

"Remember Robin. We will always be by your side. As part of your invisible ties."

Will Chrom and Lucina find Robin? Will Robin see his family again? How long was my play through of Revelations? Find out all this (Over 168 freaking hours and I blame my idiotic desire for good skills for my units on that one.) and more next time!
