Lucina's Struggles

by JackThePokemonTrainer

Man I really need to change this. A vague following of the Fire Emblem story with like a dozen OCs and in the later chapters I throw the storyline to the wind but, give it a read! Disclaimer: I don't own Fire Emblem! :P Nintendo owns it. I do own a few OCs. Not all, however. Credit to my friend Sean for the image! Thanks to laFia for putting this in a MUxLucina Community!

26. Chapter 26: The Real Mask is Shattered

ROBIN'S POV

If the before party was a smash hit, the reception was a smash-out-of-the-park-and into-the-next-park hit. Stewards were running around with platters full of food and drink, and a more permanent arrangement of seating was arranged. In the center of the huge room was empty space for dancing. In the far corner was an entire music pit. That's how big the room was. It occupied the entire top floor of Castle Ylisse.

I circulated around a bit, jumping from table to table, (Avoiding the bar because Basilio challenged me to a drinking contest as we left the church) and eventually settled down with Libra, Chrom, and Sumia. (Who had since regained her voice but was still red) "Thanks again for performing the ceremony, Libra." Chrom said as I took my seat. Libra laughed. "It was nothing, your grace." He replied calmly. Chrom laughed. "Nothing? Don't tell me you conduct a royal wedding on a daily basis?" Libra smiled. "No, your grace. It was my first time."

Sumia seemed content just listening, and a thought popped into my head. "Oh, Sumia, that reminds me." Sumia looked at me. "What is it Robin?" she asked, still smiling brightly. "I talked to two of your old classmates at the before party." Sumia frowned. "That's odd. I didn't invite any of my classmates. I really… didn't have friends when I was a child." I frowned. "That's strange. They were odd people, too. They didn't even know their own names." Chrom and Libra were looking at me. "What were their names?" Chrom asked, his eyes narrowed ever so slightly. "Thompson and Lumia." Sumia's frown deepened. "No, I don't recall anyone like that."

"I think I'm going to get something to drink." I said, thoroughly mystified. I walked away from the table, and who to bump into at the bar but Thompson? He glared at me fiercely. "Watch where you're going, Robin." He spat, and turned around, bumping into Lumia. "Thoma- Err, Thompson! That's no way to treat someone of his status!" she said, shooting an apologetic glance my way.

Thompson drew himself up to full height. "I'm sorry I don't like the fact that you're meddling with time, Lucina!" "Pardon, but isn't her name Lumia?" I said, trying to diffuse the situation. I only seemed to fan the fire. Thompson whirled on me. "STAY OUT OF THIS, ROBIN! OR SO HELP ME NAGA I WILL FIND YOUR SONS AND TEAR THEM TO PIECES!" He balled his fists and he looked like he would explode any second.

"THOMAS, SHUT UP!" Lucina screamed. The music in the pit slowed to a stop and all heads turned to the three of us. Both Lucina's face and mine went through several shades of red. Thomas, still his regular shade of pasty white, growled. "Let's get going, Marth." He said, and pulled her by the hand out of the room.

That's when it hit me.

Marth.

Yup. Little slow on the uptake, eh Robin? Yeah, so big revelation. And, I would like to commend a certain guest reviewer for pointing out that I had RobinxLucina on my page and I was apparently doing a LucinaxThomas. I think this chapter clears that up a liiiiiiiiitle bit. So, anyways, enjoy!
