AN: Last chapter before my vacation!
I'll be back at the 21st of this month so...yup you guys have to wait that long. Sorry!
I said screw it, I'll make this chapter before I leave. Totally based on the manga version of the game. It was pretty interesting.
So there's nothing else to say but...ENJOY
EDIT 1: I forgot to mention some stuff at the AN.
Chapter 38: Amenable
"Oh come'on Chrom cheer up!"
"Lissa..."
He wondered to himself why they have this kind of anniversary. They already had one for Emmreryn's supposed death, and Grima's defeat but this one was just depressing compared to the other two.
"Ii's been pretty much five years since we've met Robin for the first time, right?" Lissa wondered.
Right now they were traveling around Ylisee for nostalgia sake and are heading to where it all began. They always go here whenever it was that anniversary, the day they first met Robin at the fields of Southtown.
"Three years and she's still missing." Chrom sighed with a depressed look. "I don't want to give up but that small part of me wants too."
Everyone's beliefs never waned but Chrom felt a doubtful dread over him. He was depressed by how Morgan still yearned for her mother and how the Shepherds do miss Robin sincerely.
"So it was love at first sight right?" wondered Lissa. "Even though you did marry Maribelle."
"For the last time Lissa," Chrom groaned. "I didn't realize until then."
There was a quick silence between the two siblings, until Lissa had a respond. "Well it took you like two years to figure out while you got other wives too!"
The brother simply sighed from Lissa and stared at the beautiful sky. For some reason he was recalling some memories with the tactician: first meeting, accidentally seeing her naked, the constant jokes and teases, her selflessness getting the best of her and the night before Grima where they showed how much they loved each other. He could recall Robin's lovely face and her solemn words to him.
"I love you." her voiced echoed within his head.
"Robin..." Chrom muttered her name.
Lissa just had a solemn look and sighed at her brother's depression. She was staring unto the familiar fields until she saw very family robes.
"C-Chrom!" Lissa gasped loudly.
"What is it?" he asked, her sister's voice broke him out of his thoughts. Lissa simply pointed at something so familiar at the field they usually have a picnic at. "It can't be..."
"B-But what if it is!" Lissa blurted out.
The girl started to rush into the field with a relived smile while Chrom followed suit.
"By the gods." Chrom gasped at stared with relief and love at the sleeping Robin.
It felt so nostalgic finding her the same way they did so long ago. Chrom couldn't help but resist speaking very familiar words. He stared at Lissa with excited eyes and hoping she would get it. With a quick nod from she grinned at him.
"Chrom we have to do something!" Lissa suggested.
They found Robin once again, but their shockness couldn't make them think clearly. They pretended to not noticed Robin's eyes starting to flutter.
'What do you propose we do?" asked Chrom with a serious tone but in the inside he was excited.
"I-I dunno!" Lissa answered back, resisting to smile.
They both realized Robin's eyes staring at them with full curiosity. They turned towards her with welcoming smiles.
"I see you're awake now." Chrom said gently.
"Hey there." Lissa greeted with a warm smile.
A quick giggle escaped Lissa's lips, while Chrom recalled his joke. "There are better places to take a nap than on the ground, you know."
Another giggle came out from Lissa while Chrom took out his hand.
"Give me your hand."
As Robin took the said hand, Chrom realized the Mark of Grima was no longer at her hand! He was thanking everything towards Naga while Robin simply looked on with a shocked face. He was pretty sure Robin too realized she was finally free and couldn't help but say the words.
"Welcome back it's over now." he said sincerely.
"It's been three years since you disappeared!" Lissa cried out as she hugged Robin.
The tactician just looked worriedly and simply patted the princess's head. She stared at a smiling Chrom and smiled back at the man. Robin looked curious and confused but she didn't want to destroy this happy moment.
"What seems to be the problem?" asked Chrom taking note of the woman's expression.
She tried to speak but the only thing that came out were coughs from a dried throat. Chrom quickly gave her his jug of water, which Robin drank all the way.
"What's the matter?" the blonde princess asked.
The next words confused the two royal siblings.
"Who are you?" asked Robin.
Chrom and Lissa just stared in confusion and looked with total disbelief and worry.
"Robin don't you remember us?!" Chrom asked with fear. "All our moments and times?"
"Robin..." Lissa said in disbelief. "No, no, no!"
"Excuse me are you guys alright?" Robin asked worriedly. "I-I'm sorry if I did anything!"
"Lissa start heading back." Chrom ordered solemnly as he took his wife's hand.
Robin's face suddenly became flustered and shyly looked away. Chrom should have chuckled but this fear within him was growing by the second. He was keeping his breathing steady and stared unto the tactician's eyes looking for a hidden answer.
"I-uh, y-you're holding my hand." squeaked Robin.
"Do you remember anything?" Chrom asked with eyes closed.
She quickly shook her head with an apologize look. She wanted to say something. "That girl called me Robin, is that my name?"
Chrom's eyes opened and widened at the sudden question. Then his bangs covered them hiding his sorrow. It was hard to not cry and hug the woman in front of him. He held her tightly while her face heated up shyly. Chrom felt her arms wrapping around him soothing him with words. However no words can describe what he was feeling.
"Yes Robin is your name." he answered quietly.
"A-Are you alright?" Robin's muffled voice asked.
Yes Robin has returned but she came back to them with no memories of their long journey together. Once again Robin is a blank slate and the Robin Chrom knew is gone. No more deadpan comments or teases, no more warming smiles, no more playing around, the Robin he knew is gone. Here is someone that had a strong resemblance of the woman, but he wanted to believe. Believing that Robin will return back but now he had someone to take care off and he knew Morgan will take the news not very well.
"I-I'm not sure."
END AN: So yeah p-p-plot twist! Robin has amnesia again!
I so based it off the manga which did have that bittersweet ending. The last line of the manga was like "After Grima's defeat the Robin that returned didn't have memories. Of me. Of Lissa. Of Lucina. All she knew was her name" or something simlar.
Yup that's how the manga ended, but guess what! This is fan fic aka we can do whatever the hell we want!
So guess what I'm doing and yes I am leaving the story here with a cliffhanger...I'm so mean. Muahahahaha.
Enjoy your day/night! (Meanwhile I'm gonna enjoy Disney!)
