RobinXLucina After Valm War
Chapter 8: The Dead King's Lament
Robin approaches Chrom after they move away the volcano.
"Chrom, The Map has indicated six locations we have heard about but haven't been to yet. I highly suggest we go to those areas and help the people there." Robin says to Chrom.
"I would have to agree with you, Robin." Chrom says "I think the first thing we should help out with is the Southron Sea Pirates."
"Alright then. Let's start heading there." Robin says.
With that said, the army starts moving toward Sea-King's Throne to confront The Southron Sea King who was the leader of the Southron Sea Pirates.
Meanwhile The Southron Sea King known as Zanth says "Yar! Cavalry's come to claim yer heads, maggots, or I be killin' ye first! Hey! Got salt in yer ears, maggot? I said to move yer maggoty hide."
This is when Gangrel the Former Mad King of Plegia moves forward. Gangrel was the one Zanth was asking if he got salt in his ears.
Gangrel Stands quietly and then says "Maggot..."
Zanth says to Gangrel "Yar, maggot! ANd if the maggot has further questions, my blade can answer 'em!"
Gangrel replies "...The Maggot is just fine, thanks."
Zanth says "The Maggot's a useless little sea squirt is what he is! Yar har ho! Anyway, maggots, best keep what little wits ye've got. The Cavalry we face is none other than Chrom and his Shepherds!"
Gangrel says "Chrom... That name ring damnable sour in this dead man's ear. Not that any of it matters now..."
Back with Chrom and the Shepherds, We see Chrom and Frederick talking.
Chrom says "Are those the dread pirates we've heard so much about?"
Frederick says "Indeed. Their leader is a man named Zanth, The so-called Southron Sea King. His crew can stand up to most armies, and as such, he holds sway over the south. Extreme caution should be the order of the day against this one, milord."
Robin says "For Once I agree with Frederick."
Linda says "As do I. Even those in Plegia fear these Southron Sea Pirates."
"Right." Chrom says "THen let's finish our business and get out of here."
The battle starts and they start moving the army towards the commander. Lucky Robin has a lot of galeforce movers in the army this time around. Soon enough the enemy turn comes around and they move forward. Lucina talks to a village on the island with The Sea-King's Throne on it.
"Never thought we'd see someone stand against the Southron Sea King! Most of the villages here have been razed to the ground. Hundreds have died. ...Here. Take this and return the favor. Make them pay for what they've done!" The Villager says.
Lucina Then recieves a Seraph Robe which she sends to the convoy. Then Sumia moves close enough for Chrom to make it to Gangrel and recognize him.
Chrom says "Wait a minute... G-Gangrel?!"
Gangrel says "...Gangrel is dead. Nothing but maggots here." He Then leaves.
Chrom says "Wait! Gangrel! That's the Mad King... I'm sure of it."
Chrom has Robin order everyone out of Gangrel's movement range. Once everyone attacks the other pirates outside Gangrel's Range of movement, the enemy turn comes and Gangrel moves closer to Chrom.
Chrom says "Gangrel, I know it's you! How are you alive?!"
Gangrel says "Alive? No, Chrom. This is not living. You killed me once, dear prince. Now I would beg you do so again. My life is over, but my body refuses to accept it."
Chrom says "Gods, listen to you... Is this truly the same Mad King who stood against us?"
Gangrel says "Tear out everything that makes a man, and all you're left with is a husk. No throne. No gold. No men... I scrub chamber pots for brigands. Ah, how the mighty have fallen..."
Chrom says "Ironic that you, of all people, are finally learning about long falls."
Gangrel says "Heh. Seems I'm not the only one who's changed, dear prince. Days past, you'd have sheathed your blade in my chest by now. Perhaps you're less of your father and more of your sister than I thought..."
Chrom says "Your crimes are beyond forgiveness. But indeed, Emmeryn had a profound effect on me, in most every way. My only charge now is to save this world. I have no time for vendetta."
Gangrel says "How very gracious of you.
Chrom says "Enough, Gangrel. What little life you still have is wasted here. I can offer you a higher purpose... You could fight for us."
Gangrel says "Heh... NOW who's the mad king?"
Chrom says "I told you, I have no time for vendetta. Defeating Grima is all that matters. And while killing you here would please me greatly, it'd put me no closer to that goal. Since you're no longer my enemy, I'd sooner put you to use than see you rot."
Gangrel says "You've changed, little prince. I'm almost disappointed. Still, I suppose this is what true leadership looks like..."
Chrom says "I'd have your answer, Gangrel."
Gangrel stays quiet a second and then says "It was a lovely speech, but I'll pass. I'm just not the sort to play at hope and justice. If killing me would please you greatly, I'll not deny your satisfaction. Come, boy. Do an old king one last favor and end this charade now."
Luckily Robin Brought Olivia in Dancer Class Along with them so they sent her to dance for Chrom and make the third time easier to do
Chrom says "Gangrel, wait!"
Gangrel says "You talk of slaying gods, but you're too soft to end one sorry little man? What are you waiting for?! Do it! I give you my head on a silver platter!"
Chrom says "You're pathetic."
Gangrel is confused for a sec is quiet and then says "Wh-what?"
Chrom says "You're not even worth killing. Not like this. Your death would hold no meaning at all."
Gangrel says "You smug little—"
Chrom says "Either we end Grima, or Grima ends us. And that includes your Plegian citizens. If you would throw your life away, throw it at Grima! Die with sword in hand, not begging like some craven rat with its foot in a trap! You were a king once. Now suck up your self-pity, and die for your people!"
Gangrel says "Graaagh! Gods, but I despise you! Every word and every action of yours makes me want to paint the walls with my lunch!"
Chrom says "Then you would stay here to rot in—"
Gangrel says "I WASN'T FINISHED! Gods, anything to make you stop talking... Look, I've never sworn an oath in my life, much less thought to keep one... But what little life I have remaining is yours. Dragons, gods...throw me at what you will.
Gangrel joins the Shepherds' Side. Cynthia picks up Gangrel and takes him over to Zanth to confront Zanth.
"Why, ye Traitorous maggot!" Zanth says "No one switches sail on me and lives!"
Gangrel says "You can't kill a dead man, sweetheart. Now to feed YOU to the Maggots!"
Gangrel then Strikes Zanth with His Levin Sword, defeating the Southron Sea King.
"Such...Strength...N-not...Human..." Zanth says while he dies."
"That's The Last of the pirates, milord." Frederick says "With the Seas open once more, the people here should know a measure of peace."
Chrom says "Thank you, Frederick. We'd best hoist anchor and move on ourselves."
They get on their ships and set sail.
Gangrel looks around at the ships and recognizes them. He says "These are the ships of The Plegian Fleet. They must have needed to be used to defeat a enemy across the sea. I bet that true king of Plegia known as Validar gave you twice this and you had to sacrifice some to get across the sea."
Robin says "That's right, Gangrel. The Valmese were a threat at that point. Plegia saw that. They didn't send any soldiers to keep Plegians for The Table Sacrifice."
"There is something that tells me that some of the Plegian Civilians didn't get sacrificed otherwise you wouldn't tell me that." Gangrel says.
Chrom says "Yes, Some unknown force turned plegians against the Grimaleal religion but that force was swallowed up instead."
"I hope that force wouldn't make Grima more powerful." Lucina says.
TBC...
