WARNING: Contains spoilers to Fire Emblem Awakening.

I do not own Fire Emblem

With a sigh, I re-look over the map Robin gave me. I have nothing else better to do, anyways. Well, unless I want to talk to Maribelle, but it's incredibly...awkward for me to talk to her. I get that she's a noble and all, but it's so awkward to talk to her. Or at least, it's awkward for me.

Gods, I really could use a relaxing shower right about now.

"How long do you think we've been waiting here?" Maribelle asks.

"I dunno. Fifteen minutes, at most."

"You'd think that for a thief, he'd be faster than this."

Well, I don't blame him if he's having difficulties. After all, there are a lot of guards blocking the only way out.

"INTRUDER!"

Robin, you did not!

Robin runs past us, at least ten guards behind him, a good twenty to twenty-five feet away.

Robin, you idiot!

I resist the urge to facepalm and/or bang my head against the brick walls twenty to fifty times.

The thief (If you can call him that now) gives me my tome and sword, and Maribelle her staff, before drawing out his own sword. I lean my sword against the wall and open my tome, getting ready to injure (Or kill. I don't care at the moment what I do) the guards.

The guard ahead of the other nine goes to hit me in the head with his ax (With the handle or the back of the ax so he doesn't chop my head off, mind you), but I was quicker than he was and shot some lightning at him, the smell of burnt flesh rapidly filling the air. The guard I just burnt alive with my thunder tome drops onto the ground, more than likely dead. If not dead, than really badly injured.

I notice how around three guards were headless and on the floor, with Robin's bathed in blood sword dripping with even more blood. I swear, when I get out of here, I'm going to have nightmares about Robin for weeks, if not months.

Assuming my nightmares of the grim future the future kids told me (especially Lucina) about doesn't haunt me.

The other six starts to back away from us slightly.

"Damn! They're strong! Especially that one," One of the guards say.

"But they're stuck here, unless they can-" another starts but was cut off when an explosion was heard.

The explosion was me using my tome to make another exit. Some dust got kicked up, which did somewhat cover us. Using the dust for cover, I grab Robin and Maribelle's hands and run through the hole I made before the dust could clear and the six guards could call for back-up. I'm pretty sure the castle will be on alert, so we'll be lucky to get out without getting caught.

Unfortunately, we're not that lucky.

We got to where the stairs are to the second floor, but a lot of guards, more than hundred (Are you freaking kidding me?!) were blocking us from our escape route.

"Got any more bright ideas, tactician?" Robin asks, not bothering to call me by my name.

"Working on it!"

"Well, work faster, woman!"

I so want to chop him, I really do. But that's not my main concern at the moment. My biggest concern is getting us the hell out of here. Any guards that dare got close to us was either beheaded by Robin, or electrocuted by me. Thank the gods it was only, at most, five that tried to recapture me and Maribelle and capture Robin, otherwise we'd be caught by now.

Now I'm starting to wonder if they even have brains. I know, I'm being mean, but I'm grumpy and slightly panicking. Not the best excuse in the world, but I'm going with it.

The gods must hate us though, cause they've caught on that five, at most, isn't going to do much and with the rest of the guards that were alive and well, they tackle us into the ground, reclaiming my tome, sword, Maribelle's staff, and Robin's bloody-to-all-the-hells sword.

"So you and your little pathetic party of three tried to escape, huh?" The mad king of Plegia asks as he sits upright. "That didn't go so well, now did it?"

"Shut the hell up before I kill you!" Robin exclaims at him.

It seems Gangrel shrugged the comment off as he gets up from his throne and walks over to me, picking my head up by the chin so I look into his eyes. Wow, our faces are sorta too close for my comfort. He gives me a dangerous smirk before letting my head drop.

"And if luck was on your side, tactician, you could've gotten away."

I didn't say a thing as I wanted nothing more but for Chrom and the others to come and rescue us already.

"It seems though, that you have quite the talent for strategy. I suppose I can let you and your friends live if you work for me and-"

"Hell no!" I exclaim, already knowing the last bit of the sentence.

Gangrel frowns at what I said. "Not even to save your and your friends' lives?"

"I'd rather take my chances again!"

The mad king gave a sigh, before a messenger comes in and bows. "Sir, exalt Emmeryn and some other people with her are here to see you."

"Hmpht. So soon? Whatever," Gangrel replies, looking at the messenger. "Tell them I'll be there shortly."

"Yes, sir!" With that, the messenger runs off.

I hate this so much. I hate being a part of a bargain. Now I know how Maribelle felt. Robin, though, was yelling words that I wouldn't dare think!

"Shut up!" Me, Chrom, and Gangrel scream at the thief in union, fed up with the words.

"Anyways, as I was saying, would you rather have your precious Fire Emblem or your allies?" Gangrel asks Emmeryn.

"I'll kill you, Gangrel!" Chrom exclaims.

"Chrom! Enough!" Emmeryn exclaims, keeping Chrom from doing any harm as far as actions go.

"It seems the time for talk is over. Time to speak louder than words!"

The guards that wasn't keeping me, Maribelle, and Robin captured were making their way towards Emmeryn, weapons ready. However, Chrom was able to move Emmeryn's hand and slice the guard closest to them in half.

The fighting has already started, but Aversa walks over to us, probably to hurt us.

"Are you three really worth starting a war over? Do you three really want to be remembered as those who destroyed house Ylisse?" She asks.

Robin, since she was closest to him, kicks her in a...sensitive area. She gets on her knees, obviously in pain.

"Why, you little brat!" She screams at him, before getting up and slapping him across the face, making his right cheek bleed due to her nails.

"Please, I've dealt with far worst than a slap that made four little scratch marks," was his reaction to the slap. An idea seems to have enters his mind, cause next thing I'm pretty sure we all knew, was the guard keeping Robin captive was on his knees, pain showing on his face. He then punches Aversa in the face, before sweeping her off of her feet.

Finally! You're finally using your head, Robin!

While that was going on, Ricken knocked out the guards holding us (And by us, I mean me and Maribelle), and is now untieing the ropes that kept our hands bound. When Robin was done with Aversa (Who's out cold), Ricken untied him as well.

"Thanks, Ricken," Maribelle says to him.

"It was no problem!" Ricken replies.

At the moment, I'm in the girl's showering room, showering.

"Gamer? Where are you?" I hear a voice ask. It's Chrom's. "May I come in?"

"Chrom? Uh, can you give me a minute and wait out there?" I ask, already knowing that won't happen. Of course, it can't hurt to try.

And of course, he walks in.

"Gods, why is it so steamy in here?" He asks.

I'm not certain if I should put a towel on now or let him see me naked...

And he decides that for me.

Well, damn. Today just isn't my day, is it?

"There you are, Gamer! ...Is there any reason why you're not wearing any clothes?"

"Chrom, get OOOOOUUUUUTTTTTT!" I scream, grabbing a towel and quickly use it to cover my body.

"...Oh, gods! I'm so sorry! I'll leave!" And with that, he leaves as quickly as he came in.

I grumble to myself, turning off the water as I did. I then grab my clothes and put them on, my face heating up fast as I did. I was either blushing, or it's hotter in here than I thought it was.

I walk out of the room, seeing Chrom sitting on the nearby bench.

"Gods, Chrom. What was so important that you walk in the girl's bathing room like that?! You couldn't have waited out here like I told you too?!" I exclaim at him.

"I'm sorry! I didn't hear what you had said!" He exclaims quickly. "A-anyways, I wanted to see how you were doing."

I gave a sigh before I sit next to him. "I'm fine. Grumpy, but fine nonetheless."

"G-good to hear," he replies. "Anyways, I got somewhere else to be, so I'll see you later. ...Gah! I mean I'll... Bye!" He gets up quickly and runs off, leaving me alone on the bench.

I swear, he can be an idiot sometimes, but he's my idiot. ...At least he's not as bad as Vaike, I'll give him that.

Me: And music really does helps... Well, what do ya know? (Don't answer that, please!)

Bwahaha! Oh God, Chrom! Will you ever stop having intrusting encounters with Gamer? XD
