Guest (about romance): There isn't much romance that will happen in this story, just the bare minimum for the supports and stuff like that. I need to know who Robin and Allan will be paired up to for the future children. Anyways for the readers who actually reads this part, would you like Allan to have his own OC future child?
Any no one else reviewed. XD

Robin's POV
"Let milady sleep! I don't care that you will leave without us. We can catch up. Milady hasn't slept in a real bed in three years! Allow her this pleasure!" Allan shouts outside of my door. Geez Allan. If you want me to sleep, don't yell.
"Geez, don't shoot the messenger. I'll go tell Chrom and Frederick about this then." Lissa says before I hear her scrambling down the hallway.
"Allan, what did I tell you about scaring away our teammates?" I yell, and the door opens with Allan carrying my clothes and cloak, along with my bronze sword and personal tome.
"Did you have a nice sleep milady? I have washed your clothes for you." He plops the pile of clothes next to me, and turns around to give me privacy. The staff on his back continuously shifts between the staff, and the lance form.
"What's up with you staff? I don't remember that happening ever?" I question, and Allan gives me a grin.
"It's fully powered up so if the time comes, I can unleash Hell." His grin scares me. I quickly think up a plan.
"Allan, as your lady, I command you to never use any spells classify above A class unless I tell you otherwise." Allan's smile slowly drops and he gives an uncharacteristic whimper. Ahh, Allan and his overly destructive magic. Either Grima will take over the world, or Allan will accidentally destroy it with an unknown spell he creates in under ten seconds. The events of yesterday run through my brain, and I smile evilly. Allan pales and make for the doors.
"Allan, stay for a bit. I have a question." Allan stops in his tracks and slowly turns to me, paling even more.
"And what is that milady?" I tilt my head, giving him the most evil smile I will ever give to him.
"Who's that brunette that you saved her from bashing her head on the ground? You look awfully chummy with her? Is it possible that you have a crush?" I kinda feel bad for Allan. I'm never letting this go.
"Is everyone ready? We've a long march ahead." Chrom asks the group. We all nod, and we break up. Sully, Frederick, and Montana run towards their respective horses, while the rest of us prepare for the long journey. Well I don't.
"Allan, when did you get a carriage, and where are the horses? Why is there a couch and carpet installed on it?" I ask. Allan doesn't say anything before lifting me and placing me on the couch. Geez is Allan going to pull me through this entire journey? Talk about overprotectiveness. Ehh, I shouldn't be complaining. No aching legs for me!
"W-wait for me!" A man runs towards our group. He has a piece of bread in his mouth as he comes running up. He wears protective light armor, and carries a steel sword and a bronze lance. He's probably another cavalier. More cavalry, I can make this work.
"Stahl?" Blueberry, I mean Chrom, pats Stahl on the shoulder. "What took you so long?"
"Why am I the last to hear about this expedition to Ferox?" Stahl asks Chrom, with a little bit of irritation.
Lissa speaks out. "Huh? Vaike was supposed to... Vaike! Did you forget to tell Stahl about our mission?" she turns on Vaike, hand on her staff ready to pummel him.
Vaike tries to defend himself. "The Vaike never forgets! ...I just don't always remember, is all…" That doesn't seem to quell Lissa's anger. Boys will always be boys no matter how old. But again, how hard did Vaike's mother drop him? He seems to be missing a large part of his brain cells. Maybe Tharja can save this missing brain cells.
"Ugh... I swear, you'd forget your own name if you weren't constantly saying it yourself!" Lissa says between each whack of her staff. "Speaking of which, are you SURE you remembered your axe this time?"
"Hey! That was one time! ...Okay, twice, but training sessions don't count. Anyway, I got it right here. Teach is loaded and ready for action! Glad to have you along, Stahl, ol' buddy." Teach says and he reaches a hand towards Stahl.
"That makes one of us. I was in such a hurry, I had to miss breakfast! There were muffins, and cakes, and... Well, I can tell you all about it while we march…" Stahl laments and drolls. I look at him in disbelief. We are marching to possible war against these Risen and all he can think of is food?
Allan looks at Stahl apprehensively. "Your name is Stahl, right?" He questions.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Allan and Robin. This is Stahl, one of our finest." Chrom introduces him and Allan shakes his offered hand. I would shake it, but I'm "trapped" in this carriage, aka the carriage is very comfy and Allan made a very good decision for getting this.
"Hello, Allan and Robin. Miriel told me we had a new Shepherd. Er, Miriel's one of our mages. She should catch up soon." Ooooo. Mages. Very Squishy. I need to modify my plans again. At least I can relax as I formulate plans.
Allan takes the harness on the front of the wagon, intended for horses to pull, modified for a person, and begins to pull the wagon at a decent speed, matching the rest of the group. Montana snickers at the indignant expression that Lissa has when she sees the wagon.
"How come I don't have one Frederick! I bet you can also pull one!" Lissa basically shouts at Frederick! The rest of the group snickers as Chrom facepalms. Frederick tries to reason with Lissa, who keeps shouting. I turn to full blown laughter as Lissa doesn't let Frederick go.
"Stay sharp! Risen up ahead!" Sully who is our scout bursts into the scene. I immediately jump off the wagon and formate a plan.
I whip out my serious voice and turn to the cavaliers. "Alright gang! Here's the battle plan! There seems to be three isolated groups of monsters. Sully, Montana, and Stahl, I want you to take your lances and charge towards the eastern region. Virion and Lissa, go back them up! That seems to be where all the sword wielders are! Allan, how are you with healing spells?" The Shepherds look at surprise at me. Idiots probably never saw a tactician before. Great, I sound like Allan now. He's rubbing off of me.
"I'm alright with them. Emmeryn implanted some wind-based healing onto my staff if I need it." Allan says, casually tossing and catching his staff of power.
I turn to Frederick, and Chrom. "Chrom, Frederick, and Allan, go towards the west region at wreak havoc there. I will support you with my tome and if we get hurt, Allan switch to the support mode and heal them. Allan and Lissa, heal every wound. We do not know if these zombies can turn you and I'm not taking the chance. Once both groups finishes their region, signal either with an arrow, or spell into the air. Once both are finished, we will flank the middle group. Vaike and Sumia, they probably won't be able to get here, but of the off chance they do, protect the supplies. Any questions?"
No one speaks up so Chrom takes my place.
"Everyone, remember what we're up against! These Risen will not hesitate to kill you, so don't hesitate in killing them!"
Vaike laughs. "Mya ha! They'll remember ME once I drive my axe into their... Wait... My axe. Where's my axe?! I had it a second ago!"
Chrom sighs. "Vaike, this is no time for jokes…"
Vaike looks like he is about to panic. "I'm serious! It's gone, but I JUST had it! It's got to be around here somewhere…" Allan steps forward, his staff turning into a Levin Sword.
"I should save the Risen from this problem and end your existence right now." Oh shit, I better act fast before he actually follows with his threats. I grab Allan's arm, and drags him towards the west side.
"Better take that anger on these Risen. Sumia! Protect Vaike and the luggage! Everyone else to their battle stations!" Frederick rides towards us and Chrom whips out his sword and runs past us. Sully and Montana give out a fierce battle cry before burying their lances into the Risen, with Virion sniping the weak ones. Stahl protects Virion from any monsters near him. Chrom and Frederick pair up with the fight, Frederick distracting the zombies, parrying their attempts, while Chrom flanks them and cuts off their heads. Allan pulls me down, saving me from being decapitated. I curse at myself. Of course the time I space out is in a battlefield. Stupid, stupid Robin.
"Milady, with all due respect, the battlefield isn't the best time to evaluate the Shepherds." Allan says as he switches to two long daggers and blocks two swords at the same time. I flip through the pages of my tome.
"Thunder!"
A bolt of lightning hit each of the Risen and fried them. Allan immediately requips into a broadsword and pushes me down for the second time. He spins his sword around and kills ten more Risen surrounding us. Chrom and Frederick hurry towards us and kills the ones out of Allan's reach.
"Any injuries?" Frederick and Chrom shakes their heads no.
Across the field, from the eastern region, I see an arrow fly straight up, the sunlight reflecting it. In response, I fire two lightning bolts into the sky. I shout on top of my lungs, hoping the Eastern side could hear it.
"Everyone! Flank the middle!" Chrom, Frederick, and Allan all facepalm. I look confused at them.
"You have the best plans, but you are not supposed to shout them across the battlefield." The middle group apparently heard me shout, because they were all limping at us. Sully, Montana, and Stahl charge in through the back and start to swing and stab with their lances, arrows killing those they missed. Vaike laughs maniacally as he charges and slams into the side of the group, killing more. I guess he found his axe. Who gave it to him? A large burst of flame answers my question as it kills half of the Risen. Oh. That Mirel person probably found the axe. Only a mage can produce that flame.
"The Risen are no more milord." Frederick says, climbing off his horse. The rest of the Shepherds walk around the undead, picking up weapons that have not been dissolved with the rest. Out from the corner of my eye, I see Chrom wandering off towards the woods.
"Follow him Robin. It is not wise to leave milord alone. We might not have cleared all the Risen in this area. I know for a fact that Allan can kill all of them in one hit, so take him too." Frederick orders me, and rides off. Ugh, why can't Frederick take care of the blueberry? Chrom is going to say something wrong at the wrong time, and no one will be there to keep Allan from killing him. Dear Naga, save me.
"Allan, we are going after Chrom!" I grab a hold on Allan's neck and drag him towards the woods.
"Why are we doing this? Chrom is a big boy, he can talk care of himself." Allan complains as we walk through the woods in search of our "glorious" leader.
"Oh fuck!" Chrom yells in front of us. Sharing looks, Allan and I draw our swords and run towards Chrom's voice, to encounter him with an injured pegasus.
"You idiot! We thought you were in trouble!" I scold Chrom as Allan inspects the pegasus.
"She looks quite injured. Should we put it out of its misery?" Allan asks as he readies his sword.
"Captain, one moment!"
Sumia enter the clearing and the three of us turn our attention towards her. As Sumia makes her way towards the pegasus she trips again, Allan having to dive to catch her. I hear Chrom facepalm. Allan helps her up, Sumia blushing at the closeness. Does she like him too? Oh Naga, this is great blackmail! Now don't tell Allan, he is awesome, but so oblivious. Plus the longer this goes, the more blackmail I can get! Dude, I should get Montana into this! Greatest embarrassment level to the fullest! Allan won't know what hit him!
"Don't get any closer, Sumia, the beast is crazy!" Chrom exclaims.
"It's okay, Captain. I can handle this." As Sumia makes her way to the pegasus she begins to pet it which immediately calms it down. Chrom drops his jaw at how fast the animal calms down. I watch Allan stare at her as she walks away. Damn, he got it bad. Hehehe, definitely telling Montana about this.
"Shhh... Easy now, girl. I won't hurt you." Sumia whispered and the pegasus snorts through her nose. She never told me that she has a gift with animals. Maybe we should save the pegasus, it would be nice to have one airborne unit in this army. Allan is still staring. I don't think Allan's going to kill it anyways.
"You know, she will notice if you keep staring at her like that." I whisper to Allan and he quickly averts his eyes with a small blush on his cheeks.
"You all go on ahead. I'll dress her wounds and catch up as soon as we're able." Sumia says to Chrom, who looks hesitant.
"No out of the question. We are staying till you finish fixing that pegasus. I don't want you to be alone, Sumia." Chrom declares.
"We can't do that. Emmeryn wants the alliance to happen as soon as possible. With the Risen prowling the countryside, we need to go now for your people." I remind Chrom. Chrom looks down hesitant about his decision. This is my chance to push Allan into doing something as well. "If you are still hesitant, I can leave Allan here to protect little Sumia here. Allan is a one-man army."
Allan looks ready to protest, before I shoot him a glare. He immediately closes his mouth into a firm white line and nods tensely. I sigh. You will thank me later Allan.
Chrom makes his decision.
"All right then, be safe, Sumia and Allan." He waves to Sumia and Allan. They both wave back, Allan reluctantly. Allan keeps shooting glances at the happy girl next to him nervously and I stifle my giggles.
"As you command, sir." Sumia shouts to us and Chrom raises his hand lazily. When we make sure that Allan and Sumia can't see us, he turns to me and raises his eyebrow.
"Does Allan like Sumia or something?" He asks. Should I tell him or should I lie to him? He can possibly help me with shoving the two into uncomfortable situations, but he might blab to Allan and Sumia. What should I do?
