AN: Alright Valm time! Well truth to be told, it's going to be a mixed of main stories Paralogues, and originality.
So that's what you're going to expect so enjoy!
Also what do you guys think, I made Aversa, Robin and Grim's, half-sister? I want-no need feedback for these differences from the game itself.
Chapter 24: Welcome to Valm
Ok so much craziness happened! First Aversa joined us, as a representative for Plegia, second my brother stowed Gangrel and Emmeryn in, and lasltly feel seasick!
"So ready?" Robin chuckled as he rubbed my back,
"Still can't believe Lergnag and Remme are here," I muttered,
Oh it's their undercover names: Gangrel just made his name backwards while Ememryn ignored the 'ryn' and made it backwards too.
I'm stilling wondering why Robin stowed these two here.
"I'm wondering why you had to use two of the ships as fireships?" he retorted,
"Well that blockade had to be broken somehow," I replied, "Plus they're Plegian Ships, it doesn't hurt Ylisee as much. Then again there's so many Plegian volunteers that joined us,"
Maybe I should've mentioned not only the Plegians gave us ships but they also gave us crews. I was quite shocked on how many were willing to help us fight.
"Well if your king gave you no choice on what you can do then I'm sure you'll be better off here," Robin chuckled,
I looked towards the other side of the warship and saw Chrom and the others. Well this ship is not the biggest or smallest. I dub this ship the Shepherd's! Well I'm pretty sure the enemy would think the army' leaders would be in the biggest warship, which I assign to Basillio and Flavia. Those two make really good distractions especially the only naval battle we had!
"Grim, Lucina told us the rest of her friends are here!" Lissa shouted at the otherside,
"I-I can't wait to meet my daughter!" Frederick cried?
Oh gods I never thought I would see the day our knight would be like that!
Though it seems Lucina looked regretful, oh she didn't want to tell them. Then there's Marc who was excited for some reason. It seems Marc convinced Lucina to tell them.
"Frederick crying, always an amusing sight," chuckled Robin, "Then again he'll meet Cynthia and his world will turn upside down,"
The only sound at our side was filled with laughter and joy.
"There you are!"
Then the mood got ruined.
"What do you need Aversa?" Robin asked suddenly,
"Why can't wittle bwotha and sister help their sister?" she asked us,
Uhh, because she's dressed as a...hussy. Yeah hussy. No seriously showing that much cleavage is just not right!
"Just wondering why a mad man and woman are here," she chuckled,
Crap, she found Gangrel and Emm.
"Lergang and Remme?" Robin kept a straight face,
Oh gods Chrom and the others could still see us! No wonder Robin's keeping that face.
"That's what they're going by?" Aversa smirked,
"Just a lovely couple in the ship," I added,
"Unlike someone here who will never have a man," smirked Robin,
Aversa got burn! Her only response was an automatic glare at Robin, while I giggled.
"Ha funny," she growled, "Still I do have potential blackmail,"
Oh crap, she's got a very good point. Unless...
"Like anyone would believe you," I scoffed, "You do realize our previous encounters and meetings weren't exactly the most memorable. I recall a lot of tension."
"She got a point," my brother kept his smirk,
Ha beat that you skimpy wearing hag! Tactician siblings one! Aversa nothing!
...
...
Does anyone believe in fate?
"Grim,"
I part of me wants to believe there is such a thing and another doesn't want me to.
"Hey Chrom,"
A part of me is truly bothered, how would I prevent Tenebris from tricking me into killing Chrom? I know it could simply kill us all, but why toy with us? Is it fate I should be here? Is it my choice I was reborn as an entirely different person? Those I didn't have much of a choice.
"It's nights like these I would wish to last,"
However falling in love with Chrom, helping the Shepherds, and starting a family: I think were my choices, my own will. This world really changed me for the better.
I could feel Chrom's arms wrapping around my waist. I just stood and stare out at the sea.
"Something on your mind?" he asked,
"Yeah we left our baby again," I sighed, "However we're doing this not only for her but for Ylisee, Regna Ferox and even Plegia."
"A sacrifice our Lucina will understand someday," he replied,
That's not how some of the future children saw it. I only stayed silent.
"Still, it's going to be a while if we're gonna have a moment like this again," Chrom smiled and held my hand,
I only gave him a smile in return. He's got a point, I won't have too many moments like this once we reach land. I rested my head on his broad shoulder.
"Lucina, Marc you guys can come out," Chrom suddenly said,
"How does he kno-Ouch sis!"
Yup they're there alright. My two future children appeared and Marc was rubbing his head thoroughly.
"Marc keep your thoughts to yourself, I swear Morgan is rubbing off," Lucina muttered,
"Well I don't get why we should eavesdrop," pouted Marc,
Lucina is Lucina, she's just like that!
"Something you need?" I asked,
"It's uh what father said," Lucina replied,
"Yeah with moments and all that!" nodded Marc,
I just smiled at them and looked towards Chrom, who was rubbing his cheek.
"When I meant that I meant only with-"
"The entire family!" my voice interrupted him,
That bum was going to say only me and him! Both the kids beamed up in total excitement. I ignored Chrom's subtle eye twitch but he smiled at his children as well.
All four of us were adorkable in our own way. Though the most common trait has to be, how to start or continue a conversation. Still this peaceful silence, besides the waves, felt right.
"Father, mother how did you two fell in love?"
All of us looked at Marc with shocked eyes. Chrom and I blushed from the question while Lucina still looked in wonder.
"That's a story I never got told," she muttered, "Mother, father please you have to tell us!"
Still they make a good point, when did I fall in love with the idiot. Maybe it's how a protected me, maybe it's how he saved e, maybe it's how accepting he is: to be honest I don't have a clue.
"Well," Chrom grinned suddenly, "It all started during the Plegian War when one day, during one of the breaks, I heard singing at your mother's tent,"
Oh gods he's gonna tell them that story!
"Chrom!" I whined,
"I was curious on what that beautiful sound was," Chrom's ignoring me, "The closer I got I didn't realize the bubbles or scent of fragrance..."
As he continued the tale, I can only hide my face with my grandmaster hood to hide my embarassment. Well think of it the B-Support except with singing involve. I was humming a tune and started to sing, I didn't realize it attracted Chrom. All in the while I was taking a lovely bubble bath. Then I got way into it, like really into it. As in I started to dance around and the bubbles and foam, conveniently, covered my body.
"Then we stared at each other for a few good seconds yet it felt eternal," he continued,
Seriously I felt the same way too! At the time I wondered why Chrom was reacting like that until I remembered I was a girl. Then I screamed while Chrom stood there shocked at what he saw. I threw bottles, towels, buckets, everything I could find.
Lucina and Marc were laughing their hearts out,
"F-Father that is no how you fell in love with mother!" Marc giggled,
"I-I can't believe that actually happened," Lucina breathed out, "Another story please!"
Well we don't know how long we've told our tales but when it was late we all decided to sleep in the same room: like an actual family.
...
...
...
The fun times are over, now it's back to war.
I grimaced at the sight of the Valmese docks we intend to invade. I could see so many soldiers, weapons ready, to defend their country. We technically were invaders before, aka Plegia, but Valm is such a far country. I wonder how different their country is compared to Ylisee. Well we got Virion, Cherche and Lon'qu as examples but they don't seem as different. Then again Lon'qu left Valm at an early age.
"They're waiting for us," Robin patted my back and stared at the docks, "We'll meet Say'ri as well,"
Oh right the Cho'sin princess. It's nice to know theere is kinda tried an Asian group, but then again majority of us don't even look like a specify ethnicity. I tried to make sense of it: Plegia could have dark haired folks like Robin, Tharja and me, but there's Gangrel, Henry and Aversa with total different colors. Ylisee too much variety, I love it, so I can't try to make a similarity. Valm might as well be not so different.
Looking further into the docks I realized the soldiers weren't even facing our way!
"Damn looks like she's made her move," Robin cursed,
"We gotta save her," I added,
Observing the army I realized it was mostly consisting of calvary and armored vanguards, and there's a few mages. There's only one advantage we got for this battle: air units. I looked towards the Shepherds who had flying mounts: Lissa, Sumia, Cordelia, Maribelle, Cherche, and Frederick. Two falcon knights, two dark fliers, and two wyvern lords, I should take advantage of this. Still I could be a flier as well, but I need to direct the group.
"I forget to mention, both my kids are trying out on being pegasus knights," Robin added,
Ok then that's plenty of fliers!
I smiled at Robin as a plan came up.
...
...
...
The Valmese were so shocked when the magic and arrows started to get loose. Their lines became disarray and we took that as our chance.
"Remember, save those resistance!" I reminded all the fliers around me,
"No worries aunt we got this!" Morgan yelled,
"Grim we all know your plan will work!" Sumia smiled,
"Worry not dear, your strategies are almost flawless," smirked Maribelle,
I nodded to the comments and gestured them to move out. As the fliers take the skies I joined the others bombarding the docks with spells and arrows.
"Ready to take your homeland back?" I asked the archiest of archers,
"This is a dept I could never repay milady," Virion told me,
He took another aim with his bow and quickly took out another calvalier, he's aim is just so good!
"Sheesh you have the right to brag," I chuckled,
Well one war made me no longer sick of death, I just got used on people dying and getting killed by me. Must be a war veteran kind of thing.
"Only the best!" he beamed up,
Taking out my tome I joined the others on softening up the enemies. I took a quick glance of the vanguard, led by Chrom and the Khans, and hoped things will end rather quickly.
As we bombard the docks, I saw our fliers flying back to us! I saw some new faces with some of the riders and I even noticed Say'ri herself. I smiled at the simplicity of the plan.
In a nutshell it's the ranged units firing away from the ships while our fliers go towards the dock and rescue what's left of the resistance forces. It seems there were more but the other resistance fighters hunkered down at the warehouses. That's where our vanguard come in. With many war veterans and Feroxi warriors, they would break through enemy lines and take the docks for our own.
I realized some of fliers quickly mounted themselves with a horses like: Frederick and Maribelle.
"Chrom now!" I yelled out,
"Shepherds attack!" he shouted to the group,
"Finally time for some ass kicking!" grinned Basilio,
"Back to my homeland huh?" Lon'qu muttered,
Don't ask me how I heard Lon'qu, I really have good hearing if I try.
I realized the rest of the battle was truly one-sided. The remaining battered and tired defenses were easily crushed by our very eager vanguard. Maybe it's also the fact being led by Chrom and Basilio helped out.
"Mother that plan was brilliant!" Lucina praised me,
"Indeed, a fine strategy," Laurent nodded,
"Well aunt Grim, we got the resistance here so maybe you could chat with them, I've seen uncle Robin already talking with the leader," Nah told me,
Nodding to the future children, I headed to where Nah pointed.
...
...
"I see thank you,"
As I approached the ending conversation, I took note of Robin and Tharja with Say'ri and her resistance.
"SO what'd I miss?" I asked Robin,
"He was just explaining our grand plan," rolled Tharja's eyes,
Sheesh it sounds like Tharja heard it too many times. With a soft smile I stared at the supposed culturally different Shepherd. Say'ri's eyes were different shaped, similar to Lon'qu's, a little more pointy at the ends. Her headband and demeanor scream out samurai but I know she's a swordmaster.
Glancing at the other resistance members, they seem to have the same facial features but they have different hair colors. See this is why I can't tell from Plegians and Yliseens.
Wait why is Ann here? Is she staring at their killer edges'? Oh right I guess she never saw a sword so curvy.
Back to Say'ri and Robin.
"You must be Robin's little sister," Say'ri said with grimace,
Hey what did I do?!
"I must thank you for your brilliant plan," she bowed to me, "You have saved not only my men but the docks and people as well, we are in your debt,"
Ok, I'll never be used to this kind of flattery. No seriously I'm used to simple thanks but this kind, not now not ever!
"Hey we got a common enemy so it's no big deal," I attempted to shrug off,
I attempted!
"I've heard of the Shepherd's famed tactician," the young woman smiled at me, "You were able to drive the forces out of the docks despite your smaller! I could see why you are legendary!"
Oh man the ground feels so cold!
"M-Milady? Your highness?" Say'ri's voice asked with worry,
Just pretend to be unconscious Grim.
"Sorry about the Say'ri," chuckled Robin,
He is not!
"My sister can't take praises and compliments very well," he explained, "Plus she doesn't like those titles, just her name will do,"
"I see, will she be alright?" asked Say'ri,
"She's been through worse," was my brother's reply
I could sense Robin smiling.
Well this is gonna be a long war! I could list of events! Let's see: the rest of the future children are here, we get to meet Tiki, there's gonna be a lot of backstabbing from the resistance, there's Say'ri's brother, then of course Walhart himself!
Yup long day ahead of us!
"So sir Robin what is the plan?"
"Let's see we need to bring every resistance together, and I think a certain Naga's daughter will accomplish it."
Yup long day!
END AN: Say'ri joins the party, so she's gonna be prominent in this part just like the game.
If you guys are wondering what I've been doing, well...
I do tend to look for anime to watch and a few shows got me hook! Right now I'm watching two and their both entirely different genres! One of them is a slice of life college while the other is a supernatural action. Golden Time and Strike the Blood respectively.
Also from my boredom I'm listing the current pairings and you can easily imagine what the kids are...
Chrom and Grim: One tall guy and one short girl
Frederick and Sumia: Too sweet it's bleh (Compliment are too cheesy)
Stahl and Sully: A 'girlier' guy (Stahl's a good cook) and a boyish girl
Vaike and Miriel: A smart one and dumb one (Obvious)
Maribelle and Ricken: One short guy and one taller girl
Gregor and Panne: (No idea)
Donnel and Nowi: Awww they're so cute
Henry and Lissa: Hyperactive and mischievous pair (Look up Henry's debut chapter, Lissa blushes. Small and subtle but hey Owain with Vengeance!)
Lon'qu and Cordelia: The cute and quiet couple
Virion and Cherche: A competent and not so competent duo (Personality wise)
Gaius and Anna: Casual relationship pair (Then they take it seriously!)
Robin and Tharja: Obviously one is whipped
Olivia is the only one not paired! Does that mean Inigo doesn't exist? Naga no! We got Kellam and Libra left, so which lucky guy is gonna get her? To be honest no clue! Kellam is...Kellam while Libra is a priest. So Inigo could either be blonde or dark haired...
Screw it I'm deciding now and I'm not telling!
You guys can guess and reason if you want!
Enjoy your day!
