Prelude - Mortal Man
Robin and Chrom both loomed over the defeated Grima upon the Fell Dragon's back. The duo's hair both blew rhythmically in the wind as the dragon flew. The sounds of swords clashing, pegasus's crying, and familiar sheards voices crying out in battle against grimleal all littered the dragon's back.
"Hey Robin, now's our chance." Chrom said as pointed his Falchion towards Grima. "Let me finish it off."
Chrom began to step upon the dragon scales as he neared the weakened Grima. Feeling a pat on his shoulder, he turned around and saw Robin.
"Let me finish him off. Think of it as me battling one of my own demons." Robin said smirking. Chrom nodded and stepped aside. Robin then grabbed his spell tome and flipped to a page and began to raise his hand in the air.
Lightning began to form and collect around his fingertips. As he channeled more of his energy, the ball of lighting got bigger as Grima and Chrom looked in horror. The Purplish lightning began to paint the verdant orange sky an devilish purple.
"Robin?! Wait- What?!" Chrom began to back away as the lighting began to strike, close to his feet. Over the course of seconds, the lighting became more unstable, and formed a cage around Robin and Grima.
"WHAT….WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! YOU'LL KILL US BOTH WITH THAT" Grima yelled as he tried to get up but fell back down upon the dragon's back in his own puddle of spit and blood. Smirking a bit, Robin began to close the distance between him and Grima.
"Grima, you and I are the same. If you die, I die. I can give my life to protect everyone from the evils you would do to this world." Grima looked up at robin who was now looming over him.
"YOU WOULDN'T! YOU WOULD NOT DARE TOO!"
"Jeez shut up with all the yelling." Robin said as he looked up towards the orange sunset smiling. Absorbing all of the lighting within his hand, he pulled it down and pointed it towards Grima in a gun-like pose. "Bang."
Almost instantly a great zap of electricity shot from his pointer finger towards grima piercing through his body like a knife through butter.
"GAHHHHHH" Grima yelled in pain as he was launched back. At the same time the Dragon yelled out in pain as it began to fall slowly out of the sky.
Hesitantly Grima looked down, and saw a giant, gaping hole through his chest. Slowly looking back up, he gave Robin a resentful yet terrified expression as dark energy began to disperse from him until there was nothing left.
"Guess he was scared to die." Robin said as he watched his other self fade away. Within seconds a sharp pain hit Robin causing him to wince in pain. "Ironically I am too" Robin thought.
Looking down he was beginning to disappear as dark energy began to disperse from him too. Turning back he saw the distressed Chrom and behind him the shepherds still fighting the cult, unaware of his sacrifice.
"I guess this is it." Robin said as he looked at Chrom. With a melancholic smile Robin outstretched his hand, beckoning Chrom to take it.
Firmly grabbing his hand the two locked eyes and smiled as they shook. "Hey Chrom, tell everyone..thanks. Thanks for everything." Robin said as he winced again, this time now breathing a little heavier.
The energy coming from Robin was now thicker and darker. Circling around Chrom, he left one final message.
"May we meet again, in a better life." With those final words the dark energy slowly dispersed away leaving tears in Chrom's eyes. Looking towards the sunset, Chrom wiped his eyes as the Fell Dragon's corpse slowly fell down from the sky. Slowly one by one the other shepards began to come from behind.
