Robin's POV
"We can't fight back their leader is a former Valmese general."
"What was that about Valm?" Chrom perked up.
We had stopped in a village and while picking up supplies overheard something about local mercenaries.
"Who are you?"
"My name's Chrom."
"The ruler of Ylisse!" the elder bowed "And the princess' husband."
Do I not have a title…am I just Lissa's husband?
"Maybe they can help?"
"Fool we can't ask such royals for help."
"Uhh…we hear you." Chrom sighed "But I will listen to your problem."
"Thank you so much!"
They said that some things had been stolen and taken to a castle outside of town. We said we helped and went out to inspect.
"Hmm? There are two entrances." I said "Perhaps we should split up."
"Sounds like a plan, I'll take the right you keep some at the left."
"Cool."
I kept Stahl, Tharja, Panne, Nowi and Sully with me and Chrom took Miriel, Gaius, Lissa and Virion with him.
"YEAH!" Nowi cheered transforming and blowing fire down one of the halls.
"Hmm…" Tharja snapped her fingers and even more fire appeared.
We blazed through our side and before long we were regrouping with Chrom's team, but her had one additional companion, a short girl with her brown hair tied in twin tails. She chaged forward and kicked the door open.
"Nelson!" she yelled.
"Huh?"
"DIE!"
In one motion she slammed her sword through him.
Talk about strong.
"Hmph." She flipped her hair over her shoulder "That's that. Now to go find it…"
We headed down into the treasure room and started getting ready to carry things back to the village.
"Here it is!" the girl form before yelled digging through a pile.
"It's a ring?" I observed taking it from her.
"It's MY ring." She said snatching it back "Stop looking at it, it's priceless. Nelson stole it from me."
"Well good thing you were able to get it back." Chrom smiled.
"Hmph!"
The girl turned to leave but she bumped into someone.
"Oh I'm sorry." Cordelia smiled "I didn't see you there."
"What'd you want?!" the girl snapped.
"Sorry, thanks for helping us today." The woman smiled "You were very brave…"
"Severa, my name's Severa."
"That suits you." The knight smiled "My name's-."
"Cordelia, I know."
"Did I perhaps introduce myself before?" Cordelia asked "I don't remember…"
"Well I know it so you must have.'
"I see, well thank you all the same Severa."
"You said that already Jeez!" the girl whined louder "Besides I didn't do anything special. I was just reclaiming what was mine."
"Are you speaking of that ring?" Cordelia said leaning of "My goodness it looks just like mine…I see how you knew my name. You're one of Lucina's friends aren't you? I'm also guessing you are my daughter."
Severa just grumbled to herself "…Lonely…"
"I'm sorry I didn't hear you, hang on…Stahl!"
"Eh?" the man looked up half asleep "Is it time for lunch?"
"I said I thought you might be lonely so I came to visit!" Severa yelled "You're welcome by the way."
"That is very sweet of you." Cordelia said "Stahl look who I found!"
"Well she's kinda cute? Who is she."
"She's our daughter stupid."
"Oh…well hiya."
"She's just adorable isn't she?" Cordelia smiled
"Stop mocking me!" Severa snapped "You…you don't care at all!"
"What would make you think that?" her mother said "I'm thrilled to meet you."
"Then…why did you leave?" Severa looked away "You said you were going to fight for what mattered, but…you never came home. You choose Chrom over me and Dad!"
"I can't answer for my future self." Cordelia sighed.
"I'm sure future her had a good reason." Stahl sighed.
"I know that I'd want nothing more than the world to be a great place for you to grow up in." Cordelia smiled "At least…that's what I want right now."
"You don't think I know that?" Severa hissed "I mean I do but…"
"I apologize for being a bad mother." Cordelia sighed.
"Well you're my mom, so you're the best mom." Severa pouted "Just like Dad is the best Dad."
"Seems we are very lucky people." The Pegasus knight smiled.
"I missed you guys." Severa said hugging her parents and crying "I'm sorry I was so mean! I just…Don't wasn't to lose you again! Don't ever leave, promise!"
"We promise."
"Father, Mother." Owain whispered.
"Huh?"
"You have to hide me!" he whisper yelled.
Severa's ear twitch "I hear you."
"EEP! Don't hurt."
"You have some nerve!" Severa yelled.
"What did you do?" I asked.
"I didn't think it was that bad."
"EHHH?!" Severa sneered "Not that bad!"
"AHHH!" my son ran off when Severa drew her sword.
"Get back here!" she yelled "I'm only gonna cut you balls off! You don't do that crap and then disappear!"
"Now I really want to know what he did." Lissa smiled "Our kid is weird."
"Yeah, sure is odd that our kid hates yours." Stahl said.
"Seems like a lot of people are at their wit's end with Owain." I sighed.
"I can tell you what he did." Inigo said.
"Hmm?"
"Just before we all came back to this time…those two…" the boy winked and started making kissy faces.
"EH?!" the four of us gasped.
"Yeah…" Brady rubbed his chin "I kinda remember something like that."
"Oh it was super intense!" Cynthia said waving her arms "I'm pretty sure there was tongue!"
"Shut up, Shut up, Shut up!" Severa cried before glaring back at Owain "Stop running!"
Later…
"We're really here!" Cherche cheered "Minerva and I haven't visited the Wyvern Valley in years! You should all be careful, they can get pretty ferocious, even more than Minerva."
"Nothing is worse than that beast." Vaike mumbled.
"Minerva says hello." Cherche smiled at the blonde man.
"Everyone likes me." Vaike gloated "Better snatch me up while there's still time Cherche, you never know when a smoking hot babe might come along and whisk me away. It's hard to resist the Vaike."
"Keep dreaming." Lissa whispered.
"Be nice." I said playfully elbowing her "He's trying to impress her."
"HELP!"
We were all drawn to a man running at us.
"What now?" Chrom grumbled "Everywhere we go someone needs help."
"Isn't it your job to help people." Tharja mumbled.
"Brigands are attacking the Valley!" the man sputtered "My friends are in danger!"
Near the entrance a man in a mask was sitting there.
"Are you with the village?" Chrom asked.
"I am Gerome, a traveler."
"These people are in dire straits, will you help us?" I asked.
"It is not my place to interfere." The man said "Death comes for all eventually."
"You would watch innocent people die and claim it was fate?!" Chrom yelled.
"I've seen too much fate to doubt." He mumbled.
"You give up rather than face the world, I cannot understand your thinking. A poor past does not justify a poor future. But I can't force you, I hope you will join us." Chrom said getting into the formation.
The valley was divided into many islands connected by rope bridges. The bridges were rickety and difficult to cross especially with the Wyverns flying by caused more problems by making the bridge. Nowi seemed right at home flying around and tackling dragons in the sky.
The Wyverns were weak to magic so our mages were having a field day, the hardest part of the fight was positioning. The platforms and bridges made maneuvering difficult. The enemy commander was all the way in the back, far out of reach.
"HYA!" the boy Chrom talked to before landed on a Wyvern and split the man in two with his axe "I guess it was fate…"
Without the leader the other men dispersed, leaving us to regroup and settle the villagers down.
"Excuse me." Cherche walked up to the boy from before "Do you have a moment?"
"What?"
"I was hoping to meet your Wyvern." The woman smiled.
"Why?" the man continued to be short with her.
"I want to see if yours is cuter than mine." Cherche smiled "I know it's not very sporting since mine is the finest in the world…"
"Do whatever you want." The kid said.
"Thank you." Cherche said walking up to the lizard "aren't you just the cutest…you're nearly a perfect match for my sweet Minerva."
Cherche titled her head "You're almost…identical!"
"That's because they are." The boy explained "they are one and the same."
"Minerva? How?!"
"Check her from snout to tail, the scars match."
"Are you…?" Cherche wondered.
"I am…but I had not intended for us to meet." The man said.
"But why not?" Cherche asked concerned.
"I came back to release Minerva." The man said turning away "Not to seek parents I had already bid farewell too long ago."
"You crossed time just to free Minerva? Why?"
"In my time, Minerva is the last of the Wyverns…I did not want her to suffer like that."
"She's lucky to have such a kind caretaker." Cherche smiled "As am I."
"I have no intentions of becoming close to you." The boy said "I will not mock fate. I will not weep twice for a lost mother. My burden is to heavy now…"
"Yet you keep carrying it." A voice said.
Vaike walked up to them "If you hate life so much stop fighting and go disappear."
"Vaike." Cherche said concerned.
"This world ain't for wusses." Vaike said "Stand and fight or get out of the way. Now start talking nice to Cherche or we're gonna have a problem."
"Enough." The kid shook him off and stormed off "As I said before…I have no use for dead parents."
"Gerome wait!" Lucina yelled chasing after him "Come back!"
I'm not sure what Lucina said, but somehow she convinced Gerome to come join us.
