Dawn's Destiny

Diligence Follows ~ Chapter 113

"HAHAHAA! HA, HA, HAHA, HA!!!" Chrom shook his head as the heroes were packing their bags. They rested for the night but there was no telling what was going to happen.

Chrom whispered, "What's with the voices I keep hearing?" He looked inside his bag and then back at the heroes. He grabbed something out and then stared down at it. "What is this?" He then saw it slowly transforming into a weapon. Chrom immediately panicked and shoved the weapon into his bag.

Alear asked, "You done packing, Chrom?"

"Almost, give me a bit more time," Chrom replied as he stared down at his bag. Alear nodded as the rest of the heroes continued packing. Chrom couldn't help but feel anxious. There was a weapon in his bag and he was so afraid he was going to harm someone.

Byleth sighed, "Sorry, I know Alear just told me that you weren't done but... we're about to head out. Are you done?"

"Yeah... sorry," Chrom replied as he got up. He took a deep breath and picked up his bag. The heroes started walking off as Chrom followed after slowly. He looked around the area, witnessing the flames slowly die out. Still there was so much happening even then...

Byleth whispered, "I never knew how much I missed our beautiful Dawn until now..." The heroes nodded in agreement as they searched the area. "Dawn... the only place we were able to call home. I never realized how much it meant to us... Magnus has done too much and has gone too far."

"Magnus is too much, we have to do something about him," Chrom replied as he looked down at his sword. "I need to take back the Chaos sword from his hands. Then we have a shot at being able to destroy him."

Alear asked, "How will you do that?"

"I... I'm not too sure, I feel... like this could go all wrong. This can go all wrong and then all of us die as the entire world of Dawn falls into Magnus' hands. I don't know if I'm even capable! I don't know-"

"Chrom... you're worrying too much," Chrom looked back at Alear and then back down at himself. Then Time appeared from behind and looked at Chrom.

Time whispered, "Chrom your future vision..." Chrom's eyes then sparkle with a bit of hope. He got out of Alear's grasp and walked a little bit away from them. Chrom took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Suddenly a vision of the future appeared in front of him.

If they weren't careful with this decision. They would all die at the hands of Magnus. Magnus was ready to destroy them and was going to be forever ready. Chrom knew that the only reason they failed was because they had no plan. Which is why they need a plan in order to fight back against Magnus and recapture the Chaos sword from his hands. That was the only way they had a shot at winning.

Chrom replied, "I... I think I know what to do."

"What do you suggest we do?" Kirby questioned.

Chrom explained, "We need to strategize a plan with each other to get a better understanding of what we need to do. I have a fear that if we go and fight Magnus without a plan, we're doomed."

"Ooh okay, so what do you suggest we plan out?"

"I suggest we start to plan out how we're going to defeat Magnus, Magnus has capabilities beyond what we are able to do. He's incredibly strong; however, I'm certain if we make this plan we can find a way to stop him before he does any harm to us," Chrom then took out a pencil and started to write on the paper. He had never felt so free in his life, free of small burdens.

Alear suggested, "Why don't we give everyone a special role to play? That way we can be a lot more organized with one another in case someone or something gets out of control."

"Great idea!" Alear smiled at Chrom as he separated everyone into doing their own jobs. Chrom was the only one capable of bringing them to victory and that was his goal. That was all he had in mind, nobody was going to stop him.

The heroes all watched as Chrom continued working on the plan until he finished with the plan. He put his pencil down and reviewed it. Soon he was confident in his ability to lead everyone to victory. He took a deep breath and showed the plan to everyone. The heroes looked over it and did an overview of what their job was going to be.

Chrom asked, "Any objections to anything?"

"I think this plan is a great idea Chrom!"

"I don't have any complaints,"

"Then it's SETTLED!" Chrom put the paper away in his bag as dashed on ahead. The heroes followed after, prepared to take back the Chaos sword from Magnus' dirty little hands.
