"He's what?! But how?!" Chrom exclaimed.

"It's perfectly possible." Robin nodded. "The idea of an alternate timeline states that there are infinite number of realities that have an infinite number of possibilities."

The two blue haired royals stared at him.

"How do you know that?" Lucina asked suspiciously. She'd never even heard of an alternate timeline much less what one was until Naga explained it.

The tactician cocked his head slightly crossing his arms. "I don't know." He answered slowly. How did he know that? He just did. He couldn't explain why he knew half the things he knew. The knowledge was simply there.

"Robin knows everything." Chrom said with a dismissive hand gesture. "As long as it's obscure and random. Common knowledge, however, is another story."

Robin half heartedly glared at his husband. "Oranges."

Lucina really wanted to ask about the whole orange thing, but now was not the time. "In any event, saving this timeline won't help any of the others nor will it prevent Grima from destroying new ones."

Chrom frowned. "So out of all the timelines, only this one will have stopped Grima?"

"I honestly don't know. Naga said it was possible for other timelines to never face this dilemma."

"How?"

The tactician held up both hands. "Let's not worry about that. It's not really our problem." And he didn't have an answer. "But it does explain the Robin we met with Validar."

Lucina furrowed her brow. "Another Robin?"

The husbands quickly told her.

"That's…odd." She crossed her arms. "If he did travel from a different timeline, what's his purpose?"

"Aversa called him a hierophant for the Grimleal." Robin tapped his chin in thought. "Perhaps he's here to make sure Grima is resurrected. If Validar is my father, then maybe a version of me worships Grima."

Chrom scratched his head. "Wouldn't that mean he comes from a third-time line?"

"It would."

The blue haired man blew out a breath. "This just keeps getting more complicated."

"There's more." Lucina shifted uneasily. "I believe the Risen King has followed us. I've never faced him, but those that have and managed to escape say he's dangerous and not to engage him. Supposedly he can take out an entire army single handedly."

"Who is he?"

"He seems to be, for want of a better term, Grima's top general. He commands the Risen hence his name. We don't know who he use to be." She closed her eyes. "If the Risen are here, then it's safe to assume their king is as well."

"What does he look like?"

"The repots say he possesses glowing red eyes and a crown of black spikes."

Chrom and Robin exchanged a look.

"What?" She asked.

"We saw a man fitting that description. He was with the other Robin." The white-haired man sighed heavily. "Not only do we have to deal with Valm, but it's all but been confirmed that Plegia can't be trusted. If this Risen King is as dangerous as you claim, we could be fighting two powerful forces from both sides."

Neither Ylisse nor Regna Ferox had the man power for such an attack. The fight with Valm was going to be difficult enough.

Chrom wrapped what he hoped was a comforting arm around his husband's waist. "With everyone working together, we'll think of something. Together, we can take on anyone."

Robin smiled slightly.

"There you guys are!" Lissa waved her arms racing towards them. "Frederick's start'en to freak out." She eyed the blue haired girl. "Hi, Marth. Thanks again for not only saving my life, but Emms, and now you've saved Chrom."

"Um, Lissa." Chrom chuckled awkwardly. "There's somethings we need to tell you and the rest of the army."

Lucina inwardly relaxed. It seemed, for the moment, the whole Robin being a different gender realization was put on the back burner. She caught Robin's gaze and stiffened. In that one look, she could tell that he'd purposely distracted Chrom from digging too deeply into Lucina's parentage. If he was as intelligent as her mother, he'd easily notice she hadn't wanted to have that conversation. Not yet at least.
