Lucina could hardly believe what she was seeing. The skeleton of the very monster that took her parents from her, destroyed her world, and even followed her and her comrades to this one. Grima was dead, not merely sealed away like she once hoped, dead. Under normal circumstances Lucina wouldn't know what she would be feeling now. Joy? Relief? Peace? However she felt none of these, that soulless monster had managed to take one last thing with it, something that hurt more than everything else. Robin.

Even thinking his name was too much for her to bear right now. Lucina watched as her husband dealt the final blow to Grima, using the same power the Fell Dragon wielded to extinguish it at the cost of his own life. In his last moments he gave her one last look while wishing that they would be reunited in another world, then he vanished into nothingness. She hadn't deserved him. She was dedicated to her mission first and foremost, and when she believed he had to die for the sake of that mission she came so close to killing him. Yet in spite of it all he loved her with all his heart, he said that she wouldn't be the woman he fell in love with were she any different. He was more than she ever hoped for in her life, and she wouldn't have traded him for the world.

But evidently that was not Lucina's choice to make, Robin gave his life to complete her mission believing that it's what she would have wanted, but damn her mission now. All Lucina wanted was her Robin back, to cherish every moment they'd share from this day onward. But Grima couldn't just make its exit without hurting her one last time. Lucina wondered if the beast would ever truly be finished with her. Would it continue to haunt her even in death?

"Mother!" a voice called out to her from behind, rousing her from her thoughts.

Lucina knew her daughter Morgan was running excitedly towards her. Morgan had been the one to lead the charge with the main force on Origin Peak so the strike team selected by Robin and Chrom could make it to Grima and seal it away, so she wasn't there to see what really happened. Lucina couldn't turn to look her daughter in the eye, she knew that once Morgan saw her expression she'd learn her father wasn't with them anymore. Lucina kept staring out at the remains of Grima, hoping against hope that Robin would make some triumphant return to spare their daughter the pain of losing him.

"Wow, Grima doesn't look so scary now. Just a big ol' pile of bones. Man Grandpa really did a number on it."

Lucina knew she had to do it. She took one last look, and turned to break the news to her daughter.

"Father wasn't the one who did this." Morgan's expression changed upon hearing this.

"How else was Grima defeated then? I thought only the Exalted Falchion was capable of that. Oh oh oh, did your Falchion awaken and you did it?! Mom that's so cool-"

"I didn't do it either." Lucina sobbed, "It was your Father, he gave his own life to ensure Grima would never return again."

"Father…" was all Morgan could get out.

After that the usually energetic girl was quiet, Morgan just stared at Grima's remains just like her mother had moments ago. In a few moments Morgan had begun to weep, and in a moment of maternal instinct Lucina embraced her daughter and gave her what little hope they had.

"It's going to be fine Morgan. Naga told us that if our bonds with your father are strong enough he may one day return to us. I'm sure with all the memories the three of us shared together he'll find his way back to our family."

Morgan's weeping reduced to mere sobs shortly after, her mother's assurance that things would be okay helping to ease the pain. After a few minutes together like this, Lucina

"Now let's go meet up with the others. We don't want them worrying any more than they already are over us."

"Sure thing mom, maybe Grandpa's already organizing a search party to find Father. He found him the first time right? Then I'm sure he can find him again."

Morgan ran back to the others pulling her Mother by her wrist. Lucina hoped what her daughter said was true, because she couldn't imagine living her life without Robin by her side.
