Lucina's Struggles

by JackThePokemonTrainer

Man I really need to change this. A vague following of the Fire Emblem story with like a dozen OCs and in the later chapters I throw the storyline to the wind but, give it a read! Disclaimer: I don't own Fire Emblem! :P Nintendo owns it. I do own a few OCs. Not all, however. Credit to my friend Sean for the image! Thanks to laFia for putting this in a MUxLucina Community!

30. Chapter 30: Mark of the Exalt

ROBIN'S POV

Well, things have taken a more… interesting turn of events. So, Chrom got word of an 'illegal slave auction'. We got there just in time to see a kid kick a dragonstone over to an apparent Manakete and watched the gruesome battle take place. Afterwards, Chrom strutted up the stage and sat Lucina down.

"Alright, I want the truth and I want it now." He said, procuring two chairs from Naga-knows-where. Lucina opened her mouth, the promptly closed it again. "Is that Chrom?" the Manakete said with a tad of awe in his voice. "He looks so YOUNG!" the other boy, a tall kid dressed in all dark blue, elbowed him.

Chrom cleared his throat while I stood behind him awkwardly. The three exchanged glances. None of them seemed willing to speak until "WE'REFROMTHEFUTUREANDWE'VECOMETOSAVETHEWORLDFROMGRIMAANDLUCINAISYOURFUTUREDAUGHTER!" the boy in blue yelled. Lucina glared daggers at him. If looks could kill, the boy would be 6 feet deep.

Chrom's mouth was open wide for a minute or two. Then three minutes, until he finally shut it. It was about five minutes until he actually spoke. "So… You… are my daughter." Lucina nodded. "You came from the future." She nodded again. "To save us." She nodded a third time.

Chrom shook his head. "Lock them up!" he called to the guards standing behind him. I sighed. "Chrom, are you seriously blind?" I asked exasperatedly. Chrom looked at me. "No, and don't tell me you believe them?" I rolled my eyes.

"Don't believe me, but care to explain the brand in her eye or Falchion at her waist? It's the same one carries by House Ylisse's bloodline, am I right?" Chrom squinted at Lucina's eyes, and gasped. "What sorcerery-" Lucina and I both sighed. "Honestly Chrom, sometimes you're dense."

Chrom laughed a little. "I've been told. So, you honestly think she's my…. Daughter? I don't want to feel that old yet…" Lucina smiled faintly. 'So…?" I asked hesitantly. Chrom nodded. "I believe her. I suppose we can get Miriel to run a few tests if all else fails." He said the last part jokingly. Lucina cleared her throat. "Sean? Joshua? Would you mind…?" They both nodded.

"Say no more, miss!" Joshua said in mock salute. "You better come to, Sir Robin." He said. Tentatively, I followed them out of the ally. I didn't realize exactly why until I heard Lucina's muffled sobs coming from behind us.

Jack's Corner

So, uhm, yeah. I've consulted with my now TWO critics :P (I still love all you reviewers) and they both agreed I should enlist Lucina during peacetime. I also wanted to have something important for my 30th chapter! I must say this wouldn't be continued without all you guys' support and actually taking time to read the stuff I put out here, so thanks! you guys are awesome!
