hi everyone, I know this uploaded weird before, i hopefully wont run into this problem again. also I wanted to clear up you may not see some characters or get some pairing you want, this is solely because I am basing this off my first playthrough, it's nothing personal against the pairing or characters just how it went when I first played it.

thank you for reading, I hope you enjoy regardless.

The next morning arrived and Chrom had an obnoxious air about him, he was too chipper as Vaike put it.

They were sitting down having breakfast together, Robin was sitting next to Lissa chatting about the ivy that Stahl walked into. Stahl himself was scratching his arm viciously.

"Hey!" Lissa shouted at him, he instantly stopped.

"you cause that to bleed again, I am not helping you!" she told him off, he nodded putting his arms aside his body.

"yes ma'am!" he bowed slightly. Chrom was eating his food while Frederick discussed the path and potential areas of trouble.

"sir…did something happen last night?" asked Ricken spoke up causing them both to turn.

"Ricken what makes you ask that?" Frederick asked in his place.

"well it's just that you are in an especially good mood like nothing can get you down" he mentioned his especially good mood of the morning. He laughed loudly causing others to look; Emmeryn looked at him stopping her conversation with Phila.

"oh I'm just in a really good mood." He stated smiling. Robin stood suddenly and moved past them without a word. Frederick stood as well while Chrom hadn't noticed.

"I shall be only a minute" he followed her until she was a little away from the camp.

"Robin is everything okay" he asked as she was facing away from him.

"something isn't right…" she stated calmly. He moved closer standing by her side, he eyes looked glazed over like she wasn't in focus.

"Robin, are you feeling alright?" he asked concerned.

"its too quiet, the animals are gone" she spoke, Chrom was approaching them from a distance.

"Robin seriously you're scaring me" Frederick told her, he placed a hand on her shoulder and shook her a bit, she suddenly looked at him.

"hey what you shaking me for?" she asked him, Chrom stood by them.

"what is going on?" Chrom asked.

"I'm unsure myself, Robin said she felt like something was coming"

"no I see something coming!" she spoke up. Frederick looked at Chrom who shrugged his shoulders.

"a gut feeling, I get it to worry as a tactician, it's fairly normal to expect the worst." He commented.

"guys"

"you think it could be just a gut feeling or a suspicion of another in our company" Frederick spoke.

"guys hey"

"maybe Frederick but maybe the enemy in our midst" Chrom replied.

"there is a guy on a wyvern over there"

"yes milord, I shall investigate the people in our company" Frederick insisted

"yes but you cannot be obvious" Chrom replied.

"he's moving in, he's got a weapon!"

"yes we must be alert of anything around us"

"guys!" Robin shouted they both paused and turned to her.

"yes Robin?" Frederick spoke first, she pushed him out of the way and lifted her hand causing a strong wind to erupt in front of them, an approaching javelin broke at reaching this strong attacking wind.

"how about we focus on them first!" she demanded, both turned to the approaching wyvern riders.

"crap!" Frederick readied his weapon.

"Chrom head back to camp, it could be a double-sided ambush." Robin spoke up

"but-but"

"they are unaware of an attack, don't just leave them to die!" Frederick shouted to him, he nodded and headed back to the camp.

Robin and Frederick fought off the wyvern riders until they were gone.

They rushed back to camp to see the enemy surrounding them. The hierarch was dead and they were fighting the enemy.

"Vaike watch your rear!" Frederick dived in the way of an enemy attack closing in on Vaike, he turned giving a thumbs up.

"ugh" Frederick sighed. They fought the enemy off, Lissa was healing the injured, Frederick approached the exalt.

"milady are you unharmed?" he questioned, Lissa stared at him huffing.

"yes Frederick thank you for your concern" Emmeryn answered.

"didn't ask if I was okay…"Lissa grumbled.

"Lissa, how is healing going?" Emmeryn asked as she healed up Phila's arm from an arrow.

"it's going fine" she replied. Once she finished she stood up and looked as a Pegasus approached them at an alarming speed.

"more enemies?" Frederick questioned readying his weapon.

"no, it's one of our Pegasus knights!" Phila shouted moving in front. A woman with long red hair rode in landing harshly before diving off the animal and rushing to Phila hugging her.

"thank goodness, you're okay!" she spoke.

"Cordelia, why are you here?" Phila asked concerned.

"they sent me away, they sent me to leave them to die!" she was crying as she spoke.

"who died?" Emmeryn spoke up, she turned to her.

"I left my sisters to die, Gangrel has attacked the capital, he's killing our people conquering the land!" she was in hysterics.

"hey calm down, they did the right thing" Phila stated.

"but"

"would it have been better you died with and we'd be none the wiser about this situation?" Emmeryn asked her, she shook her head.

"you escaped to live another day, that's what matters now" Chrom spoke up. She turned to agree before realising who spoke, she stopped.

"lord Chrom I wasn't aware you'd be here!" she announced in surprise.

"is that okay?" he asked confused.

"yes of course, it's an honour to be here with you all things considering"

"I need to go back to the capital" Emmeryn stated.

"no!" Chrom spoke bluntly.

"I must! I cannot let the kingdom be attacked and leave the people thinking their leader has abandoned them to their fate" Emmeryn explained.

"you'll walk into an obvious trap?" Chrom growled

"for the sake of peace, I must" she answered.

"he's insane he won't do peace!" Chrom shouted everyone was quiet trying to not make it obvious they're listening.

"if I may" Phila spoke up.

"I shall go with you milady along with some of our knights, we will guard you the best we can" she continued, Chrom crossed his arms.

"Chrom please take this" she handed out the fire emblem to him, he frowned at her.

"you are walking to your death" he stated.

"no I will negotiate with him once again, I will try to get through to him" she explained.

"nothing I say will stop you will it, then I will come with you" he insisted.

"no" she replied.

"no? what do you mean no?" he unfolded his arms up in anger.

"you will continue to Ferox and bring the army we may very well need" she told him, he huffed.

"but sister"

"please Chrom for our people" she placed a hand on his. He stopped and looked at her,

"okay…" he agreed to her plan.

"we should prepare for our journey" Emmeryn stated turning to Lissa giving her a hug.

"please come back to us" Lissa requested.

"I will" she answered.

"I'm coming with" Cordelia announced.

"no stay with Chrom, he needs your assistance" Phila told her.

"but I could help"

"Yes you can, you can help these people" she ordered her.

"yes of course" she answered head bowed.

"please be careful" she requested.

"we will do our best, you know our rules" she spoke softly.

While they prepared to leave for the capital, Chrom sat on a bench growling at the world while Lissa was being comforted by Maribelle. Robin approached Emmeryn.

"my lady, may I have permission to talk with you" she requested.

"oh Robin, of course, you may" she smiled at her.

"would you possibly reconsider this plan you have in mind, I have many alternatives which have far better odds" Robin began holding herself professionally.

"i do believe this is the best route for us to take, for the people to not lose faith in the future of our kingdom, they must know I stand with them" she answered.

"your family, if I may, they do not wish you to go, so why go?" she asked.

"I must sacrifice selfish choices, would you not do the same for those you love?" Emmeryn returned the question.

"I well if I may speak freely ma'am" she nodded at Robin.

"it's unfair of you to put the kingdom above yourself and those who care for you, passing the pain along to others when you are no longer able to deal with it" she stopped bowing.

"I apologise for being rash my lady, please don't think I believe myself to do better, I'm just struggling to understand" she explained.

"Robin I get your concern, I understand what you mean, I used to feel the same until I finally understood why people do it. the people are my loved ones, they must believe I'd sacrifice the same as I would for my brother or sister" she smiled. Robin looked at her, she broke out in her own smile.

"yes I understand, thank you for listening to my concerns" she bowed, just as she was walking away.

"you need not be so formal, I'd see you being my sister before the year ends" she chuckled. Robin froze and blushed heavily before continuing to walk away.

"ma'am we are ready" Phila announced Emmeryn nodded and followed to head out back to the city.

Once they went their separate ways Chrom had become more fierce than before, Cordelia was watching him in awe, Sumia who was her childhood friend was chuckling at Cordelia's affections. They continued down the road until they heard a scream, Chrom shot to action before anyone else.

"someone is in trouble" he shouted, Frederick, following him closely behind.

In the distance was a young girl being followed by a ginger-haired man holding a sword.

"get away from me!" she shouted at him hissing as he stood near her.

"Gregor no, hurt you little one, Gregor help" he responded in broken speech.

"over there!" shouted some bandits.

"ahhh, it's the creeps who captured me before!" the girl cried out.

Gregor attacked a few causing the others to take note and pause.

"you are helping me?" she asked.
"yes"

"yay" she cheered him on as he dispatched the enemy, Chrom, and the others fought to them finally once all enemies were dealt with he turned to the two of them.

"you two fight well" he commented.

"aww shucks, no biggie" the girl spoke

"Gregor for sale" Gregor announced, Chrom looked at him confused.

"I'm sorry, you're for sale?" Robin questioned, looking him up and down.

"yes are you a leader?" he asked her, she shook her head.

"then we do not conduct business" he spoke then ignored her.

"well then…" she huffed.

"I'm the leader here" Chrom stated before Robin blasted his arse with fire.

"I'm sellsword" he stated. Robin moved closer to the girl, she looked at her, she was dressed in small light green robes, with bare skin showing in many places, nothing appropriate for a child in this weather.

"Hello, I'm Nowi, who are you?" she asked

"I'm Robin, how old are you?" she questioned.

"one thousand and three hundred years old, or four, one, three or one four. I lost track a couple of hundred years ago" she stated, Robin stared at her.

"but you're a little girl…" she stated.

"yes, I look like a little girl" she answered her. Robin continued to stare in confusion.

"she's a Manakete" Frederick explained for Robin, who then stared at him in confusion.

"a what?" Robin questioned.

"means I can turn into a dragon" Nowi answered.

"wait…what!?" Robin looked her up and down.

"Robin, I'm going to have them join us, what do you think?"

"yes! She's a dragon, of course, we should have a fire breathing dragon…I mean yes Chrom there is strength in numbers" Robin smiled trying to hide her excitement.

Chrom and Frederick spoke with Nowi and Gregor about joining them once they agreed they set off again. Chrom was quiet everyone assumed this was due to his concern for his sister's fate, they were drawing closer to Ferox, Robin moved next to Chrom he didn't turn seeming to not notice her.

"you're worried" she spoke up, he jumped slightly at her voice.

"oh Robin, something wrong?" Chrom asked.

"yes. You haven't focused" Robin complained he pulled a face at her.

"I am so focused, I just…well I am worried is all" he turned his eyes toward the sky.

"she could die, I…I've abandoned her" he spoke with a defeated voice.

"no, you didn't."

"but Robin"

"your doing what you need to by going here, the people need this, not just you running in" Robin explained.

"I…I'd rather not talk about it okay" Chrom spoke he then moved to walk with Frederick, Robin sighed and continued walking alone.

Once they arrived a Ferox Flavia welcomed them and they explained the situation, they headed back to Ylisstol to try and save Emmeryn only to find they'd gone back to plegia.

"that evil little!" Basilio growled in disgust.

"she went alone, I understand it" Flavia spoke, Chrom sighed.

"ma'am we have a report from Plegia." A soldier saluting Flavia spoke.

"yes go on" she answered, Chrom and Lissa stood waiting. Frederick and Robin stayed back in the distance.

"The hanging of traitorous 'exalt' will be done in three days from now" he spoke, Lissa gasped in shock, Chrom growled.

"that bastard!" Chrom punched the wall. Robin walked forward to the soldier.

"may I read this newsletter" she asked the man looked at Flavia who nodded, he handed it to Robin. She scanned it before stopping and staring at Flavia.

"it's a trap" Robin spoke, Chrom and Lissa stared on.

"of course it is." Flavia answered

"no, it's got the location to the decimal here, the plan is to rush us in" she explained.

"interesting, can we make them think that's what we've done?" Basilio questioned.

"maybe, but I'll need time to plan it out" Robin examined the location some more.

"she's going to be dead and I've failed her." Chrom began speaking.

"no Chrom you haven't failed anyone" Sumia spoke up entering the room with some others.

"I can't save anyone…" Chrom muttered.

"that's not true Chrom, you save so many people" Lissa tried to convince him, he didn't answer. Robin approached them, she stood in front of him.

"you are not to blame for other people's choices, only your reactions" Robin explained to him, he made a noise of acknowledgment.

"you need to snap out of this stupid pity you are feeling, you can do this!" Sumia announced to him smacking him across the face.

"did you just punch him?" Robin asked, Sumia nodded, Robin laughed.

"why did you punch me?" Chrom asked.

"to remind you that you're better than this!" Sumia told him.

"haha!" Basilio laughed hard at this scene.

"you've got some good women around you my boy" he spoke through the laughter.

"yes, strong women surrounding you, you should listen to them" Flavia chuckled, Chrom nodded standing up looking at Lissa Sumia and then Robin smiling at him.

"let's do this!" he announced. They nodded and they all went to prepare for the assault. Robin began planning their plan of attack. They headed towards Plegia, this was their chance to rescue Emmeryn from a horrible fate, for the sake of Chrom, Lissa and Ylisse they had to succeed, Robin knew her plan had to be perfect.
