LUCINA'S POV
Immediately, I left. I couldn't afford to meddle in events anymore than usual… but would it hurt to keep a close eye? It's not like I was publicly known as a time-traveler. So, I backtracked back to Ylisstol, well behind Chrom and company. As soon as I got to Ylisstol, I could be a lot closer. I was content just to walk down the rapidly warming path, full of luscious plant life. In the future, there was no such thing as vegetation, or beauty; he destroyed them all. Grima, the fell dragon, god of annihilation, death knell to man. He had so many titles, but the message was the same: he cared naught about who lived or died. Be it his followers or opponents, he destroyed them just the same. I shivered, despite the heat. I went at a quicker clip, as if to outdistance my memories. Then, I realized I nearly bumped in to Chrom. I hurriedly jumped back and climbed a tree with relative speed and stealth. I cursed silently. A full-blown battle between the Shepherds and Risen had broken out on the road. Magic flashed, arrows flew, swords sliced and lances jabbed. Among the battle, I noticed that Lon'qu was in the fray. Had Basilio given him to Chrom? I realized I wanted to laugh in relief: I had already changed the future! I decided to wait this fight out, Chrom wasn't gravely injured, so he likely wouldn't perish here, and he was loosely surrounded by Robin, Sully, and Miriel. Of course, Chrom was still in the fray, lunging forwards and finishing a Risen whenever the opportunity presented itself. Kellam was in the background, and if Risen could display emotion, I bet they'd be surprised that an invisible force just stabbed them in the behind. Lissa was standing behind Frederick, her Psychic staff ready as Frederick fought back the Risen who came near. Lon'qu was a tornado of swordsmanship, sometimes leaving the Risen as surprised as if Kellam had stabbed them. Finally, Robin sent a blast of Elthunder at the last Risen, who dissolved to black fog. The Shepherds put their various weapons away, condensed into a single group, and went on like nothing had happened. I waited a few minutes, and darted after them.
ROBIN'S POV
Finally, after a few more hours of marching after encountering more Risen, we were back in Ylisstol. While Sully, Stahl, Virion, Miriel, Kellam, Vaike, Sumia, and Lon'qu departed for the Shepherds Garrison while Chrom, Frederick, Lissa and I returned to the castle to report to Emmeryn. In the castle, she was speaking rapidly with a woman with a shock of white hair. "Phila, are you sure?" Emmeryn asked, her eyes swimming with worry. The woman, Phila, nodded. "I'm afraid so, milady. The Plegians raided a village, and abducted Maribelle, the duke's daughter. Hearing this, Lissa gasped. "Maribelle? Oh NO!" upon hearing Lissa's voice, Emmeryn looked up. "Oh, you have returned." She said, and I was shocked by the turn her voice had taken, from such a calm, comforting tone to a much more melancholy one. Chrom nodded. "We have our alliance." He said, and a hint of a smile played on Emmeryn's lips. "Good. I suppose you've heard our predicament?" Chrom nodded. "We'll just go in and CUT that Mad King down." He said grimly, putting a hand on Falchion's hilt. Emmeryn looked at Chrom sternly. "No, the halidom has caused too much bloodshed. I will offer parley with King Gangrel." Phila's eyes opened in shock. "Milady, you can't! You cannot trust him!" Emmeryn looked at her sadly. "I must, Phila." Chrom stepped forward. "At least allow the Shepherds to accompany you?" he asked, pleadingly. Emmeryn nodded. "I suppose that would be wise."
Jack's Corner
Wow. I still can't get over the number of views i'm actually getting :P Yes, I've heard from people that it doesn't deviate from the script/storyline much, but I do have a couple things planned... I definitely can't say anything about the wedding. 'Whoops!' I let it slip! :P Anyways, I am planning a wedding between the Plegia/Valm wars, but as to who the bride and groom will be is a surprise. Happy viewing!
