AN: So decided to have this little paralogue before the final battle. Whoops I know everyone (I hope) was pretty excited for the final battle chapter, but it just felt right to put this out, before the final battle.
A little more on the villain side...remember my paralogues could occur at any of the chapters but I'll tell you that this one was OBVIOUSLY before recruiting the other spotpass characters like Emmeryn, Gangrel etc etc
So more background on this future...well there is a lot of impossibilities but hey it's fanfiction and this is how this universe's Grima took over at the bad future. When I meant universe,, I meant my story, well and the fact that there is A LOT of Robins and lived in parallel universes and such...I'll stop talking now.
Then I think to myself if some people actually read this section of the chapter...
Paralogue 11: The Hierophant
"Those fools must know their fate!"
The Hierophant sighed for the nth time towards the current leader of Plagia. The dark man was muttering to himself constantly on his throne while she stood there by his side. The woman just stood there with an indifferent face.
"What do you say Robin?" Validar asked so casually.
"Grima's revival is imminent but the Shepherds will only plan to delay it." she responded.
She despised the name she was born with and she hated the feelings inside her even more. When the Hierophant possessed this Robin's body, all of the tactician's feelings and thoughts mixed with her's. Gods she despised believing she was female as well!
"Our scouts reported they are on their way here." he smirked. "It's already written the king of Ylisee's death will be here!"
The other Robin only looked impassive, though at the inside she was conflicted. The host's feelings were screaming to stop it but yet her true feelings demanded his death as well to keep a stable time loop. She followed those blasted children back to the past to prevent her's from falling. Each of the sides had an advantge on what will happen in the future but somehow they sped up the events.
"Yes, then you will take your daughter's life to resurrect Grima." Hierophant reminded. In her mind was more malicious. "Revival of my past self, then I could take over everything again."
"So tell me again what the future holds in your time." Validar requested rather calmly.
She told him what happened so many times, that she lost count. However she knew how demanding her 'father' tends to be and would accept no failure whatsoever. She stared at the man, recalling he was one of the first to die after the Robin, from the future, took control of her powers. Then Robin ran away, back to Ylisee, back to the castle, back to her friends. There it was revealed she was pregnant with her child, thus Morgan was easily manipulated.
"After taking over your daughter's body I transcend the world and destroyed all of those foolish Yliseen." she began.
Future Grima felt the connection as well whenever Morgan was close by, she was as much as her daughter as Robin was. The girl had limitless potential and yet she was being held back by all of her half-siblings. Feelings of camaraderie, love, affection and happiness got in the way. Yet Grima found the perfect timing when Robin's guilt ate her away, which Grima fed upon.
"The world held on life, no sunlight, and it was filled with risens that would serve me forever." Hierophant continued.
At last Grima had full control of the body but it could still hear whispers and begs from it's host. It destroyed everything, killing all that opposed the dark dragon, even the Shepherds at that time. However Grima missed the children but it could sense it's similar power from Morgan. He sneaked some of it's despair towards the broken girl.
"Many opposed me but they were no match for my power." Future Robin's face smirked.
She toyed with the children seeing them filled with nothing but despair. However a part of her, Robin's humanity, felt sympathy towards Morgan. The girl missed her mother very much and she constantly bugged her oldest sister, Chrom's first daughter, to look for her. As time passed on Lucina had enough and screamed at her. The tactician in training was in tears as she ran away at that dark night.
"Many were willing to follow me but all I need were my risens." Hierophant described.
It was at that time Hierophant appeared before Morgan. Morgan kept on crying in joy as she reunited with her 'mother'. The girl did not care one bit if her mother looked so menacing. Grima smirked as it manipulated the girl into eternal servitude, faking her love, her affection, her feelings to her. However a part of it felt happy to have family, only a part of her.
"However those blasted Yliseen princes and princesses decided to return to the past." she continued on her tale.
She sent Morgan and a group of elite risens, most of them dead Shepherds, to prevent them from entering the outrealm gate. When Morgan returned with the bad news, Grima cursed to itself fearing that it would lost it's power if they interfere at the past.
"So I followed them back and now we are here." concluded Grima.
She brought Morgan, and all of the deadliest risens she could muster to stop them. When she went through the portal, hand to hand, with Morgan, the gods decided to toy with them. As they fall towards the portal Hierophant and Morgan got separated as they held onto each other more. The last thing she saw was Morgan screaming for her. The words haunted her human side. "Mother, mother not again please. I'll find you I swear it!"
"Bring back my power and you will be seated as my adviser, Validar." Hierophant requested.
When Grima saw Morgan again, the human side felt saddened that the girl suffered amnesia. Forgetting the time she served under her host, she hated the human side even more. It wanted to cry for the child but unfortunately Hierophant can't show any weakness. A part of her was glad though, the present Robin was taking care of her very well and she has everything she wanted at the Shepherds. A mother, a father, siblings, friends and-Gods it really despises the host's feelings at the situation.
"Lord Validar, the Shepherds they are at the gates!" a soldier declared, dashing at the empty halls.
This will be the last time she would see her child, in this human form. She wanted to say how much she has grown throughout the years, but now it was all up to the otherself, the present self. Hierophant glanced at Validar with the same expression she had throughout the entire time.
"It's time." she said so simply.
"It's already written." her father smirked as he took out Grima's tome.
End AN: 1st apologies for the sudden mood whiplash here, no comedy whatsoever. More on the familiy end of things in a twisted and dark way.
So we all recall the 'Dark Secret' chapter right? Chapter 8? and 'Mixed Heritage' chapter 12? Well this revealed what happened when Lucina explained and recalled what happened to Morgan, well from future Grima's point of view. I know there a a lot of conflict on what actually happened canon wise, but this ain't canon at all. Plus if you were confused on the whole 'it' and 'she' that kept on switching. It's pretty much the future Grima, I MADE, still has some of Robin left fighting against it. So it's pretty much two minds fighting in one body except one is just dominating the body, Grima, while the other one is trying to stop whatever the other is doing, future Robin.
So that aside, I just got a feeling someone's gonna point out why did I change 'she' and 'it' at the sentences...I hope it makes sense to you guys.
Then after I finished watching Future of Despair, especially the last one...whoops (SPOILERS) the Future Robin still did had some fight in her/him left! Pretty sad and sweet since Robin was literary holding Grima back as Lucina finishes him/her off! (SPOILERS END)...I yeah I can't believe I wrote this before I watched the final DLC
We do remember what's left of this story, right? Let's go over it again, Grima Battle (More on drama with some bits of comedy, there and there) Post-Grima battle (Where we go back to pure comedy like the earlier chapters and such and many MANY original content here and there...) Future of Despair (Gonna try to balance comedy and drama here, expect a lot of darker and more messed up humor...) Lastly the epilogue (Just one single, probably longer than usual chapter to finish it off!) So that's the plan! Well review and such, give out your thoughts and opinions! (Just make sure to back them up!)
Anyways enjoy your day/night!
