(AN) I've had so many ideas for the future that I literally had to jot down everythin on a list, goin over a thousand words. Sorry for slow updates!
It was late spring, the sky was painted in a blanket of bright cerulean, covered partially by the occasional fluffy white cloud. The winds were cool and sweet, the sun's rays remained consistently warm, it was the perfect day for a nap.
"Ngh..." A man was laying down in large grass, his arms and legs spread out in a snow angel-like position.
"Ow, what... happened? Why am I so... tired..." Just thinking exhausted the man to no ends, his eye lids feeling as if bolted down to his face.
"Chrom, we have to do something." A loud feminine voice rang out, scaring the man and causing him to peek an eye open in panic.
He saw what appeared to be a girl, approximately 16, blonde hair forming two pigtails which spread almost like flames, and a round face holding two large, worried hazel eyes. She was wearing what could only be described as a bird cage attached to a yellow dress, with multiple metal bars sticking out through the fabric.
"Damn, she's cute, but why is her voice so squeaky?" The man groaned mentally.
"What do you propose we do?" The man on the ground turned his head to a stockier figure talking to the girl.
The figure had deep blue hair flowing down from his head, topping right at the eyebrows. His eyes were a very bright blue, and his right arm was bare, marked by a strange looking birthmark that seemed familiar to the grounded man.
"I..I don't know!" The girl stressed. Both figures looked down, suprise filling their eyes when they each made eye contact with the suspicious person.
"I see you're awake now." The man, Chrom, spoke in a firm, yet gentle manner.
"Yeah, no shit!"
"Hey there..." The girl smiled.
"There are better places to take a nap than on the ground you know, give me your hand."
"Does he think of me as weak?!" The man on the ground swatted Chrom's hand away and sprung to his feet, startling the two and drawing the attention of a third figure nearby.
"C'mon Chrom, was I born yesterday?! I don't need help from you, or anyone else!" The man yelled at Chrom, turning to the girl. "You too Lissa! Why do treat me like a child?! I deserve-"
Whack..Thunk
The white haired man was hit by something, and crashed to the ground when the third person, a tall, muscular man with brown hair, came behind him and struck the man's head with the butt of his spear.
"That'll teach you to respect milord and milady." He sniffed. The man was wearing a heavy suit of armor, with blue and white plates connecting the entire suit.
"Frederick. We knew nothing about him, you can't just go hitting people you don't like." Chrom bent over the unconscious body, inspecting the fast swelling at his temple. "Lissa, think you can help him?" He turned to the girl.
"Piece of cake." The thin girl, Lissa, smiled and pulled out a small bag. She walked over next to Chrom and untied the bag, containing a small vessel of gel. "Ouch, Frederick you should hold back a little, his head's practically a balloon right now." She applied the gel to the swollen spot on his temple. "And we're only down to two vulneraries left. We should go back to restock soon."
"Since when are you the wise one." Chrom chuckled, earning a sharp elbow in the ribs.
"Pardon me, but am I to understand that you heal someone that just took offense to you vocally and may intend physical harm upon you? They are wearing a plegian cloak after all." Frederick raised an eyebrow.
"He knew our names Frederick. Your concerns are validated and appreciated, but my gut tells me something good will come if we provide support." Chrom patted Frederick's shoulder.
"Yeah, and he's a little easy on the eyes." Lissa smirked.
"Lissa..."
"Hahahahah! I'm only kidding, yeesh I'm WAY out of his league." She finished applying the vulnerary and felt his head. "I don't think he has a concussion, but he does need a lot of rest." Lissa got up and wiped her outfit clean.
The man woke up.
And Frederick wasn't exactly glad about it.
Frederick went straight into action and pointed his glistening silver spear at him, inches from his throat.
"What the hel-"
"Make a move of assault on milord and milady, and I will personally see it that your head falls from your body. Understand?" Frederick snarled, pointing his spear even closer to him.
"Damnit, this guy looks like he could wipe the floor with me. I better obey for the time being"
The man on the ground nodded, gritting his teeth. Frederick pulled his spear away and walked away to tend to his horse, who was equipped with armor similar to Frederick's.
The man on the ground scrambled to his feet, and was greeted by a coerced handshake.
"Hello, sorry about your head, but Frederick is ever the wary." Chrom smiled.
"Who the hell is this? I feel like I know him."
"Who the hell are you? Do I know you?" He asked coarsely.
"You tell me, you did just speak our names."
Lissa walked in front of the man.
"Hi, my name is Lissa, I'm Chrom's awesome little sister." The blond girl smiled brightly. "But umm, I guess you know that already, so what's your name?"
"You don't know me?!" His eyes widened. "I'm..." The man paused.
"The hell? What's my name?! Why can't I remember my name!?" The mysterious man looked at the siblings, who were waiting expectingly. "Great, now I look like an idiot. Damn! Just think of a name. Any name will do. ANY BLOODY NAME WILL DO." The struggling man put his hands over his ears and closed his eyes.
"Uh, are you okay?" Chrom placed a hand on the man's shoulder, causing him to jolt backwards.
"Don't touch me!" The man yelled, making Lissa shrink away. Frederick growled from behind the man, making him shut up immediately.
"Whoa, I'm sorry.. err.." Chrom scratched his head, still unknowing about the mysterious man's identity.
"You may call me..." He still wasn't sure of name, for some reason, they just weren't coming to him. "Uhh.."
The man's attention was caught by the sight of a flock of birds flying above them.
"Bird" The man finally answered.
Silence
Lissa burst into a fit of laughter, falling straight on her back and holding her stomach.
"B-bird?" Chrom held back a snicker with all of his will power. "Like a robin?"
The man gasped, for a revelation hit him intensely, like a wave.
"That's my name!"
"That's my name!" He smiled for the first time. "Robin!"
"I see, why the sudden excitement? Did you forget your own name?" Chrom asked, giving a light kick to his sister on the ground.
"Ye..yeah."
"Why am I not LYING."
"Ha, someone pay this actor, for he paints a vivid picture of the stupidest fool." Frederick scoffed at Robin from atop his horse. "Am I too believe that you remember milord and milady's name, but not your own?"
"I'm gonna soak the field in his blood!"
"I'm sorry, I don't remember much, just our names I suppose." Robin shrugged.
"AUUGGH!! Why am I doing this!?" Robin's screamed at himself mentally.
"Oh, I know this. It's called amnesia." Lissa, who had finally gotten up, pointed out. "He has no recollection of his memories."
"Amnesia? No wonder he-"
An explosion ran out, alerting the four and causing them to look for its source.
"There! That's the south town." Chrom pointed at a plume of smoke rising from a town barely within view.
"Then let's make haste." Frederick urged his horse to a sprint. Leaving Chrom and Lissa trailing behind.
"Wait, what about Robin?" Lissa stopped, grabbing Chrom's sleeve and forcing him to stop as well.
"There's no time. Robin, you can come, but be expecting a fight." He took off again, running through the green fields with Lissa following.
Robin stood there, processing what he just heard.
"A fight, huh?" He smiled darkly.
"I am itching to bust some heads." He ran after the trio.
