A Hidden Story [Cancelled]

Prologue: The Verge of History (3)

 Units: Chrom, Frederick, Lissa, and Robin

 Current support ranks: None

I managed to catch up to them just in time. "Robin?! Why did you follow us?" Chrom asked me. Catching my breath, I replied to him saying, "I thought you guys might be in trouble besides, I know my way around a fight." Lissa pulled on my sleeve, "Just don't do anything reckless, okay? If you get hurt, call " I nodded in recognition. I surveyed the battle field when I...noticed a few things. Numbers...Calculations...Outcomes...Defeats...Victories! What is all of this...? "What is it Robin?" Chrom must've noticed my face of confusion. I remained silent for a moment trying to figure out a way to summarize what I just saw until the words popped in my head. "I can see things on the battlefield...it's as if I could judge an enemy just by a single glance. Whats the word....Tactics!" I said. The group's eyes widened to this discovery, "So you can like, see how weak an enemy is just by looking at him?!" Lissa asked. "That's...one way to put it." I said unsurely.

Garrick: Gwa ha ha! Get to it, lads! Grab anything shiny, and put the rest to the torch! We gots an example to set for these Ylissean types! Ain't that right, lass?

Maiden: S-Stay away from me! Please! Someone! HEEEEEELP!

Our attention immediatetly reverted back to the situation at hand. "Robin, can I trust you to guard milady while milord and I advance to the frontlines?" Frederick turned to me. I nodded in a assurance and we were left with the small fry. "Lissa...I may be recovering from my amnesia, but I need you to stay back. If you're a cleric, that makes you have no way to defend yourself." I told Lissa. "B-but what if you get hurt?" She asked. I pulled out my Thunder tome and Bronze Sword, "You'll be there to help right?" I turned to her and smiled. She looked up, slightly surprised and nodded.

Now...With Lissa at a safe distance but not to far, I can completely focus on the field. I stared at my tome and realized how clueless I was at using it. 'Way to go big shot...just jump headlong right into danger. Oh well, there are some mages out there...perhaps this ability could be of some use to me.' I thought to myself. I gripped my sword and prepared to attack. Streaks of lightning, fire, and wind were struck at me. I had to dodge accordingly to prevent any from hitting Lissa. I studied the mages from afar as I faced off against a myrmidon.

Several times our swords clashed. I made a slight mistake as to foreseeing where he would strike next. As punishment, he grazed my right arm. "Ngh!!" I groaned in pain. I felt something warm trickle down my arm until it spilled on the ground. 'Dammit...I got careless...A 67% chance that the fire magic will fire due to my guard being let down and an 89% chance for the lightning mage to make a follow up attack...' I paid special attention to the fire mage in the corner of my eye and went on the defensive in my battle against the speedy myrmidon. Finally managing to muster up the strength in my arm, I countered the myrmidon and knocked him unconscious. As I predicted the fire mage quickly unleashed a flurry of spells at me. I blocked and dodged every single one while carefully analyzing how he used the tome. 'It's all over now...!' I sheathed my sword and dodged the thunder and wind combo performed by the other two mages. Impressive indeed...perhaps I could use it when I become more efficient in using tomes. "My turn! Thunder!!!" I unleashed a storm of thunder bolts, but weak enough only to paralyze then or knock them unconscious.

Lissa rushed over to my aid, "Robin! I saw you get hurt! Are you okay? Here let me fix you up." I looked away and sighed, "Only to my carelessness, but thank you." Such a mistake shouldn't have happened, but I need more practice in order to hone my tactician skills. "Don't worry," She said, "You're technically new to all of this since you lost your memory and all. Just give it some time."
