Bold is for attacks

Hey Remember this story, I decided I'd try and bust out the last little bit before FATES comes out in a week or two. I can't guarantee it'll be great, I'm just kinda trying to blow through it and wrap this up.

Robin's POV

"It's HUGE!" Lissa stared.

"That is a large tree." I hummed.

"You can't even see the top." Basilio pointed out.

"There is a great staircase inside that leads to the top." Say'ri explained "But the Empire has closed off the stairs and the roots are the only way up."

"They we break through the blockade and get to the stairs." I suggested.

The enemy were being led by a man in heavy armor and a mustache.

That's stache…I can't even see his mouth.

"Let's move!" Chrom yelled as I started moving people into position.

The fighting commenced, blades and spells clashed all around us. I was staying more towards the back to fire off spells and clear a path for Chrom.

"Robin!"

Lucina dashed by and slashed an enemy down.

"Thank you." I smiled "Good to know you have my back."

We pressed forward, slowly driving the enemy back and away from the tree. I make it sound easy but it was a tough fight and a few of us had minor injuries but we'd live to fight another day.

"You Ylisseans fight bravely." Say'ri said "I pity those who cross you."

"Do you know how to get up to the shrine?" Chrom asked.

"Yes, follow me."

We had to climb all the way to the top of the tree, it seemed like the stairs would never end.

"Robin~" my wife whined "Carry me~"

"Lissa, were almost there, just hold on." I sighed.

"The Voice lives all the way up here?" Lucina asked.

We finally found a door at the top, it lead to a shrine, in the center was an altar like structure. Near the altar was a woman with long green hair and a curvy body, she appeared to be sleeping.

"Lady Tiki are you here?" Say'ri asked.

*YAWN!*

The green haired woman sat up and stretched "Hmm?"

"It relives me to see you are okay." Say're sadi letting out a breath.

"This is Lady Tiki?" Lucina asked "The one who speaks for the divine dragon."

"She was sleeping." Inigo said "How odd."

"Hmm?" the woman looked at Lucina "Mar-Mar? Is that you?"

"I think you have me confused, my name is Lucina." The girl answered "Although I did go by Marth for a time, did we perhaps meet then?"

"Ah…no." Tiki shook her head "You just remind me of someone…from a long time ago. He is…gone, lost during my sleep."

She scanned her eyes over Chrom and Lucina "You are of the exalt bloodline."

"Yes." They both answered.

"Do you possess the Fire Emblem? It should still be in your family."

"I have it." Chrom nodded.

"Good, I was worried it had been lost." Tiki sighed looking at the shield "Wait…where are the stones, I only see the Argent."

"Stones?"

"The Gemstones." Tiki pointed at the empty dents in the Emblem "There are five, Argent, Sable, Gules, Azure and Vert. Each of them had a small portion of Naga's power, when placed in the Emblem one can perform the Awakening."

"The way to channel the divine dragon's power." Cordelia said.

"Correct, with that power the exalt and his comrades were able to defeat Grima. But such power is too great for men, so on orders I had the stones scattered, I kept Azure on my person." Tiki said.

"My domain had Vert." Say'ri chimed in "But Walhart stole it."

"Do you know where the other two are?" I asked.

"Sable and Gules…I no longer remember. They were taken a long time ago." Tiki sighed.

"She keeps saying a long time this, and way back when that." Severa sighed "She looks like she's thirty."

"She might look it." Nowi sprang up "Lady Tiki is super old!"

"That's rude." Tiki sighed.

"Hehehe." Nowi snickered "I mean look at this old hag…she's like 500 years old."

"You're one to talk." Tiki blinked "You're no spring chicken by human standers."

"Hey!" Lissa waved her hands "You two be nice."

"Regna Ferox was founded a long time ago." Basilio mentioned.

"Do you have one?" I asked "The stones I mean."

"Who would trust the oaf with something that important." Flavia taunted.

"We have one." Basilio shrugged "Gules, but the West-Khan's lost it long before I was around."

"Take Azure." Tiki said handing Chrom a stone "You must find the other three, the world is depending on you. Grima has to be stopped."

"I thought he was sealed away." Chrom said.

"Yes, but some seek to change that." Tiki said "His life force is growing as we speak, time is of the essence."

"When will he return?" Chrom asked her.

"I don't know." Tiki said "but I do feel his presence, this task falls to you Chrom."

"Thank you for your help." I bowed.

"Ha!" she gasped when she looked at me "You…are like me."

"Pardon?"

"It's nothing…I'm very tired." She said with drowsy eyes "my mouth is moving faster than my mind."

"You tagging along old hag?" Nowi asked.

"I'm far too weak to join you right now." Tiki said "But I will pray with the people, and seek an end to conflict."

We said our goodbyes and left Tiki to her rest. I couldn't shake the weird feeling I got when she looked at me.

"Factions will unite under the Voice." Say'ri said.

"Walhart won't give up without a fight." I told her as we descended "There is still a long path ahead."

"Aye, he is likely mustering up forces as we speak. We would not last long against his full force." Say'ri sighed.

"Where are his armies?" Morgan asked.

"One in the North, one in the south and one in between." Say'ri said "Walhart commands the north, and the south is led by my brother Yen'fay."

"Hmm…" I hummed.

"Someone is thinking." Lissa giggled.

"Disrupt the divisions and the communications, the statue crumbles without feet." I explained.

Say'ri explained that the division down the middle was housed in a place called Fort Steiger. We would have to be quick but we could take them and split the other two armies up.

Sounds like I have work to do…great.
