Robin's POV
"It's so pretty…" Lissa awed looking around the meadow.
"The Divine Dragon's power is in every blade of grass here." Lucina explained.
"Still…" Chrom sighed "Something feels off."
I suddenly felt a tingling "Get ready to fight!"
"Robin?" Olivia looked at me.
"Risen are coming!" I yelled "I can just feel it."
As if on cue the zombie soldiers started pouring in.
"How could they infiltrate this place?" Lucina gasped "It's holy ground."
"We can worry about that later." Lon'qu stepped up "For now we have to fight."
It took us a little while to beat back the Risen but soon they were all gone."
"Coast seems clear." Chrom said "I'm going to the altar, wait here."
"Be careful." Sully sighed.
Chrom stepped up to the altar and there was a flash of blinding light before he yelped in pain.
"Father!"
"I'm fine!" he snapped before Lucina could interfere.
Suddenly the light swirled around and a woman clad in light appeared.
"Welcome, you're heart has been deemed worthy and cleansed in fire, your desire burns strong."
This must be Naga…a real god…wow.
"So you can grant me the power to defeat Grima?" Chrom asked "The power of a God?"
"Yes, but I am no God." Naga said.
"She's technically a Divine Dragon." Tiki explained.
"I am not a creator, I possess no power to make or unmake, neither does Grima. Neither of us had the power to destroy the other."
"Then what can you grant me?" Chrom asked.
"My blessing shall draw forth the true might of Falchion, the blade of the exalt will crack the Dragon's fang, you're strength will be my equal." She said.
"So not strong enough to kill Grima." Morgan frowned.
"Grima may now be slain, sleep alone will be your victory. Just as your ancestors but him to sleep ages ago, you must weaken him that is when my power can be used."
"Is there any way to kill him?" Lissa asked.
"There is, perchance, a power to end Grima…is Grima himself." She explained.
"So he must end his own life." Frederick asked.
"Yes, but he would never willingly do so." Naga said "He seeks only to add to his power and ruin the world…now come there isn't much time."
"Where is Grima now?" Chrom asked.
"The Volcano known as Origin Peak, you will find him there."
We looked off into the distance at the smoldering volcano.
"We can only put him to sleep." I sighed.
"That is correct…Fell." She blinked at me.
"So you know?"
"I've known since you stepped into my shrine." She said "You possess power not very different than mine."
"We have to break this cycle, we can't just fight Grima every few centuries." Chrom sighed.
"I…have an idea." I spoke up.
"What is it?" Flavia asked.
"If the other me is correct and he, the dragon and I are the same…then if I land the final strike he will die by his own hand?" I suggested.
"It's brilliant!" Chrom cheered "Will it work."
"…Perhaps." Naga blinked "But there are grave consequences. Grima's heart and Robin's are linked. They cannot be separated, slaying Grima…will kill him too."
"Then No!" Lissa yelled "I won't let you do it!"
"I understand the risks." I told Naga.
"You're not…serious are you!" Lissa said "I'm not losing you!"
"Lissa…"
"There is a chance he could survive." Naga spoke up "but it is small, you have your heart bond to those of this world…if that tie is strong enough it may keep you here…I don't wish to give you false hope, the odds…are almost nonexistent."
"Lissa is right." Chrom waved his hand and shook his head "We'll find a different way."
"Chrom you're not thinking right, this is our chance." I said.
"I'm not alone." He said "The others will all say the same thing."
"One against many." I said "I'm doing this."
"No you're not!" Lissa said "You're not leaving me, I won't let you!"
"Robin you're the one who's thinking rashly." Chrom scolded.
"That dragon is my responsibility…this is my choice." I stared him down "Don't fight with me Chrom, I want the time we have left to not end with us having a screaming match."
"Stop talking like you're gonna die!" Lissa sobbed hugging me "What's wrong with you, this isn't like you."
I hugged her.
No I have to do this…for you…
"We're under attack!"
"Again." Chrom hissed.
"Still scheming brother?" Aversa walked up "Killing your own father wasn't enough for you. You've gained nothing! The fate of the world is sealed, now come…I'll send you the way of our father."
"Aversa…stop it." I glared "I don't have the time."
"Then make the time." She tried blasting me with magic but I countered.
"Seems you're still as bitchy as ever." Gangrel snickered trying so slash her.
"Stay out of my way buffoon." She swatted him away "This is between my Robin."
"Aversa!" I held both hands out and tried blasting her with fire.
"Robin!" she did that same and sent off a plume of black smoke.
The two collided and blew out into an inferno.
"I'll kill you!" she snapped.
"Snap out of it!" I punched her in the face "The whole world is gonna die, you too!"
"I'd rather be dead than be alone again!" she cried.
"You still don't get it!" I yelled as the Roars of Grima filled the air "My Father…our Father used you!"
"I know that!" she said "Do you think I'm stupid, but I'd rather be used than be alone!"
"You're not alone, I'm right here, you don't have to be alone ever again…I'll be right here." I told her
"Ha…ha…"
"Now are you gonna help me kill that thing or not!" I pointed at Grima "Cause I don't want to leave you behind…I don't want you to die."
Aversa just blinked.
"Whatever…" she scoffed "Dying would be too boring for me, but…we have plenty to settle."
"How the heck would we even get over to that thing?" I wondered.
"His weakness is the back of his neck." Naga said "I can get you on his back…b ut the rest will be up to all of you."
"No matter what this ends here." Chrom said.
"Good Luck." Naga nodded as a magic circle appeared on the ground and we were suddenly dropped onto Grima's back. Situated at the back of Grima's neck was me, well the other me.
"You, I will destroy all of you!" he yelled.
"Ready Robin?" Chrom asked.
"Let's finish this." I nodded.
As soon as the batlle started Grima held up his hands and a wave of black magic poured out.
"What is this?" Tharja snickered "It feels nice…"
"It's super strong too." Henry laughed.
"It's magic to weaken us." Basilio said "If he does that with one hand…we don't stand a chance."
"I won't…let it end like this." Owain hissed standing up "FATHER!"
"Hmmm?" Grima looked at him "What do you want?"
"Why…why did you do it?" Owain asked "In our time…why did you kill Mother?"
"None of your business." He said "Son…"
Owain drew his sword and ran off "I'm ending this."
"Stop!" I yelled.
With a flick of his wrist Grima was able to swat Owain away like it was nothing.
"Owain!" Severa ran over to him "You idiot…don't be so stupid."
"Let's make a deal." Other me said "If you become one with me…I'll spare all your little friends, even the one who just tried to kill me."
"It's a trap!" Lissa said "Don't believe him.
"Do you think I'm fool?" I spat "I know you'd kill them all in a second."
"I thought you might what to die a hero." He laughed "So be it, you can leave them all with the memory that you are the reason they all suffered!"
"I won't let you."
"You don't have a choice!" he pulled me into a portal.
"Dammit!" I looked at the black emptiness around me "I'm stumped…I can't get out of here."
"Robin!" I heard Chrom voice "You're not giving up are you!"
"You have to come back to me!" I heard Lissa's voice.
This is…is this real…or my imagination
"This is what's stopping you." Frederick said "This is shameful!"
"You're gonna let some overgrown lizard do you in, Come on!" Sully snapped.
"The world is watching you Robin." Virion smiled "They're going to write the song of our triumph."
"Get up!" Vaike laughed "We're not done throwing down, not even close!"
"You gotta get up." Stahl said.
"This sad state is outside your norm." Miriel spoke "Get up."
"Can you hear me…AHHH Get up!"
I don't recognize that one…
"Robin there's tones left to do." Sumia smiled.
"Answer us fool!" Lon'qu snapped.
"Please get up, you're too important!" Ricken sniffled.
"Get up this instant, if you abandon Lissa I swear I'll…" Maribelle sighed "Just get up!"
"Do not embarrass my race by giving up here." Panne said.
"Up and at'em." Gaius laughed "I bet they'll throw us a big party if we win!"
"We're all still with you." Cordelia smiled.
"If you die…Gregor will crush you."
"Don't stay there." Nowi said "I'm your favorite Dragon."
"The Gods aren't ready for you yet." Libra nodded.
"No one's dying unless I say so." Tharja hissed.
"Please get up." Olivia smiled "I'll make a dance just for you."
"Get back up now, ya hear?" Donny yelled.
"Minerva and I are both waiting." Cherche smiled.
"The darkness might be warm but you're already hot stuff!" Henry laughed.
"Uncle Robin please!" Lucina yelled.
"Our fight isn't finished." Say'ri said "Get back up!"
"Pull yourself together!" Basilio yelled.
"You're too smart to act the fool now." Flavia said.
"Come on number One Customer, I've got discounts for you." Anna laughed.
"Father…bring out the strength of your very soul!" Owain yelled "We'll fight together."
"There is nothing worse than dying alone." Inigo said "So don't give up."
"Come on, even I fight harder than that!" Brady yelled.
"This is a challenge from heaven." Kjelle said "Don't give up Uncle."
"Come on keep fighting!" Cynthia cheered "The World needs heroes like us!"
"If you don't come back Owain's going to get all depressed." Severa mumbled "I mean…not that I care if he's sad…just come back okay."
"I will not give fate the victory today." Gerome said "Now fight it with us!"
"Father I won't lose you!" Morgan whimpered.
"You're supposed to come up with ideas to keep me safe." Yarne said "Hurry up and save me!"
"It's inconceivable for you to die here." Laurent said.
"GET BACK HERE NOW!" Noire said "…Please…"
"Come back…come on!" Nah cheered.
"You can change the path you and Grima take." Tiki nodded "So do it."
"On little setback and your giving up." Gangrel scoffed "This is pathetic!"
"…Robin." Emmeryn whispered.
"You said you wouldn't leave me alone Brother…now get back this instant!" Aversa yelled.
"I hear…everyone."
"Silence you damn voices!" Grima yelled "You're powerless!"
"Come back Robin." Chrom held out his hand "Your bond with us is stronger than him."
"Chrom!" I reached out and grabbed his hand I was suddenly sitting up.
"Thank God." Lissa sighed.
"We almost lost you there for a second." Chrom asked.
"Sorry…now, let's go!"
Grima had summoned Risen onto his back but we pushed forward.
"I refuse this!" he yelled grabbing Lissa "I'll kill all of you!"
"Robin!" my wife cried.
"Lissa!" I made a pinpoint magic blast and shot Grima in the head freeing Lissa who grabbed her lance.
"I'm with you." I said placing my hands over hers.
"Forever." She smiled.
"RAHHH!"
The two of us jabbed the spear into his stomach and Grima wheezed.
"I can't…die here." He heaved "…I have to…protect…Lissa…"
"He still has power left." Naga appeared "You have to make a choice."
"HYAAA!" Chrom was running up.
"No." I stepped in front of him.
"Robin."
"Hmph." I gave him a nod and took his sword "Sorry…but I'm gonna be stubborn at the end.
"Robin stop!"
"What are you-!" Grima gasped as I lifted the sword.
"I understand now…why you turned to darkness." I smiled "If it was for her…I may have done the same. I'm glad we're the same, cause it's up to me to close the book on us."
"You wouldn't!"
"RAHHH!"
I swung the sword and gashed his chest.
"GURKGG!" he coughed up purple blood.
Instantly his body started to fall apart, I looked down…I was the same.
"Robin!" Chrom yelled.
"NOOOOO!" Lissa sobbed.
"Don't be sad." I smiled.
"Robin…" she cried.
"I love you." I smiled.
Morgan's POV
Father…
We had be transported back onto the earth…Father was nowhere in sight.
"AHHHAWAAAHHH!" Mother was screaming and crying into Uncle Chrom's chest "AHH!"
"Lissa…" he sighed and hugged her tighter "I'm sure he's out there, remember what Naga said, Robin won't give up that easily, I believe he's out there."
Mother just kept sobbing.
"I believe the same Milady." Frederick said "He's too strong to disappear."
"He better be back." Aunt Sully growled.
"It was too noble of a sacrifice for him to not return." Virion nodded.
"He's out there, believe it!" Vaike smiled.
"I can feel it." Stahl nodded "He's out there just waiting for us."
"While it may be statistically unlikely." Miriel said "I have a…hunch that follows the previous statements."
"We all have to work hard so we're strong when he returns." Sumia smiled.
"He's alive…I can feel it." Lon'qu nodded "He's not the dying kind."
"If you guys believe than so will I." Ricken smiled "And if we all believe hard enough it will come true!"
"Don't worry dear he'll come back, and then I'll beat him senseless for making you cry." Aunt Maribelle smiled.
"In Spirit he was a true member of the Taguel, and we Taguel don't abandoned our loved ones." Panne nodded.
"Jobs done, he can't check out now." Gaius laughed "We got treasure to collect."
"I've seen too many die, this time I have hope." Cordelia nodded.
"Oi Robin you no make Gregor drink alone!"
"Robin's not gone." Nowi sniffled "He's just lost for a little bit."
"Naga has ways of shining light, and Robin will find that light." Libra said.
"I'm the only one who ships people off." Tharja snarled "He better get back here."
"It feels wrong to have one less person watching me." Oliva said "He must be out there somewhere."
"I've got plenty of changing to do, and you better come to see it!" Donny yelled.
"Minerva says she feels Robin too." Cherche smiled.
"If everyone is dying to see him!" Henry laughed only to have everyone glare at him "Sorry…but since I don't think he's dead I thought it was alright."
"We've won a new future." Lucina smiled "I want to see it with you…"
"We have just become friends." Say'ri said "Do not walk away now."
"Robin did what he wanted to do." Basilio said "Nothing more badass than that, but he'll be back."
"Figures he vanishes just as the oaf returns." Flavia sighed "You better get back and take responsibility for this!"
"You're my special customer." Anna smiled "Come back."
"Father we have quests to complete and beasts to slay!" Owain yelled.
"He'll be back." Inigo smiled at me "Until then the rest of us will smile for him."
"Yeah." I nodded "I believe in you father, so come back."
"I know you'll be back, so I'll write a cool song for you." Brandy nodded.
"There is still much to learn, so come teach me more." Kjelle smiled.
"I can say I met a true hero, but heroes always come back to fight again!" Cynthia cheered "So come back!"
"Idiot…" Severa grumbled "Now I'll be stuck helping Owain feel better."
"Destiny can be defeated." Gerome said "So Robin will defeat destiny again."
"I don't want anyone else to die." Yarne sighed "So come back."
"The world has so much potential." Laurent sighed "So use it to get back to us."
"He's not dead." Noire said "We have to be patient…THIS IS TAKING TOO LONG!"
"We can't abandon him, we'll wait till the end of time if we have to." Nah nodded.
"Robin you are still needed here." Taki smiled.
"Damn you, you dragged me back into this fight you can't run from it." Gangrel snarled.
"Robin…come back…" Aunt Emmeryn sighed.
"I demand you return at once brother…I refuse to be left unattended!" Aversa yelled.
"Thank you…everyone." Mother wiped her tears.
"Robin has secured the future for us, now we must protect what he gave us." Uncle Chrom smiled "I will give my all to restore the world, and when Robin returns I want him to see what this gave us…I know you can hear me Robin, you have a place here, with us."
So we all went home, and started waiting for father.
Endings…(Don't worry there's an epilogue next Chapter.)
Robin and Lissa- Many wrote of Robin's legendary exploits, but accounts of his origins and character varied. Scholars, poets, and bards agreed on one thing alone—he loved his wife Lissa, above all else.
Chrom and Sully- After Grima's defeat, Chrom was officially welcomed as Ylisse's new Exalt. Queen Sully rode far and wide on his behalf, her gallant and radiant figure the envy of women everywhere.
Frederick And Tharja- Frederick and Tharja eventually submitted to the mutual attraction they denied. As Ylisse's new knight captain, Frederick took charge of keeping the peace and training new recruits. Tharja's rare appearances at the training yard sent terrified recruits screaming into the night.
Virion and Miriel- Virion returned home to Rosanne, where he was labeled a traitor and a coward, or else ignored entirely. But Miriel's discoveries improved their quality of life, and they soon came to love him once more.
Vaike and Cherche- Vaike returned to the streets that raised him and was welcomed as a hero and brother to all. Still, the children were fonder of Cherche, who spent her time feeding and clothing orphans everywhere.
Stahl and Cordelia- Stahl continued his service as an Ylissean knight and led crucial missions across the realm. Cordelia accepted her husband, scatter-brained gaffes and all, and the two built a happy life together.
Lon'qu and Panne- Lon'qu returned to Regna Ferox and served as Basilio's right-hand man. Panne had no problems with the cold winters and would often forage for rare snow herbs used in steaming pots of tea.
Ricken and Maribelle- While continuing to study magic, Ricken realized how childish some of his actions had been. Maribelle went on to be a magistrate, and the couple leaned on each other for the rest of their days.
Gaius and Sumia- Gaius never lost his sweet tooth, though he ultimately returned to less savory enterprises. His wife, Sumia, raised pegasi, and her flower-petal readings were said to bring good luck to all.
Gregor and Nowi- After the war, Gregor briefly sank into a life of excess, but his wife, Nowi, pestered him into traveling the world with her. Their journey was packed with more chaos than the war that preceded it.
Donny and Olivia- A now battle hardened Donnel returned to his tiny village to serve as its guardian there he built a happy life with his mother and his wife, Olivia. Their forgotten hamlet glowed during festivals, when Olivia's dancing warmed more than any fire.
Brady and Noire- Brady left the priesthood to become the world's scariest violinist. Noire tried to talk him out of it for fear his divine talents as musician and composer would curse them both to an early grave.
Gerome and Lucina- Gerome and Lucina were eventually married and settled down near Wyvern Valley. While her husband never minced the few words he had to say, Lucina understood, and the two built a happy life.
Yarne and Nah- Yarne tried desperately to find a safe haven after the battles were done. While Nah endeavored to steer them clear of trouble, they soon realized the best place was Ylisse, where their journey began.
Kellam- After the battle was over, Kellam departed Ylisse for a long journey. Of course, it took Chrom and the others several years to notice his absence.
Libra- Many an unfortunate child found joy in the small orphanage Libra built after the war. People believed the kind, beautiful priest to be an incarnation of Naga, and he was courted by women and men alike.
Henry- After Grima's demise, Henry made a cold, clean break with history, never to stain its pages again.
Say'ri and Tiki- After returning to Chon'sin, Say'ri worked tirelessly with the other dynasts to secure a peaceful future for the Valmese continent. She was occasionally seen visiting her brother Yen'fay's grave. Tiki who grew tired of her life of solitude returned to the human world with her new friend, she was happy once more.
Flavia and Basilio- After Grima was vanquished, Flavia returned home and did a marvelous job of whipping Regna Ferox back into shape. They say that each time a tournament drew close, she would ask Chrom to lend his sword. With Grima a done deed, Basilio returned to Ferox and applied himself to dethroning Flavia. If his army of champions failed, he knew he could always wait for little Lucina to grow up (and lend her a mask). It's said the sexual tension between the two never dispersed and everyone teased them about it for the end of time.
Morgan and Inigo, + Owain and Severa- After the war those four…well…that's a story for another time….

Thank you for reading. Feedback is appreciated. Feel free to message me any questions or concerns.
Fear not we will have a proper epilogue involving the post credits scene.
So~ I got Fates this weekend, they only had Conquest so that's the version I bought. It's good I like it, it's a lot harder and I miss the ability to use Reeking boxes to grind out the support conversations, luckily there are DLC maps for that. I already married my Avatar to Felecia, but I'll keep the other ones a secret for now (:
Oh…but I messed up and accidentally had "Odin" marry Azura…I didn't know "Selena" was coming and by then it was too late.
Till Next Time!
