the tragedy of valm

chapter 1:now YOUR me

robin was dead , right?, he was not breathing, his heart did not beat, but he could see. he could see a pit of black all around him. was this what people called the afterlife? no it was eerie ,unnerving, yet it had a fire to it. a deep pitch black fire the burns to rebel against time and space. and it all felt so... familiar. he opened his eyes and to his surprise. he was not dead he was fine.

"it took you long enough to realize you aren't dead"

robin knew that voice, how could he not?, it sounded just like him. he had his arms hold his upper half up, whilst his legs stayed laying down. he rummaged deep into his memories searching for the identity to match the voice  other than his own. that voice, its tone, the chaos that brewed behind said voice. it could only be- no. NO. grima was dead it couldn't... it couldn't... 

he hesitantly turned his head and saw a spitting image of himself, silver hair, black grimleal robe and all. his eyes nearly popped out of his head he was astonished. judging on how the "black flame" aura gathering up around him there could be no mistake. this. was. grima. he shot up and back flipped mid-air grabbing his tome in the process. 

violently flipping through the pages he prepared to give him a dose of his secret weapon, mjolnir (tome can be obtained through bonus box in awakening). but before he could finish grima spoke,

"bad idea, kill me and you kill yourself."

robin cooled his head. even in situations as extreme as this he knew to stay calm and think of his next move. 

"what do you mean."robin questioned in a more calm serious tone.

"right now we are in your soul its so dark and malicious because you were created to be my vessel." the dark entity began."im here because i broke off an extremely small piece of me and planted it in you." at this robin interrupted "impossible!" "when could you have possibly done that!" he protested in disbelief. "look around you and you might find out" robin knew something was familiar about this place, and grimas claim had supported his suspicions. he thought back. "a completely black space...and this restless aura." thats right! when he had agreed to become a part of grima in turn for him sparing his dear friends.  that was an identical field to this... that was when he had planted the seed!"

"judging by the look on your face you get it now." he continued

"in case you were to defeat me, which astonishingly you DID." i did this as one last chance to make an offer." 

robin stared fearlessly in silence waiting for him to continue.

"i'll take that as permission to go on "

" well right now your on the verge of dying... and i have a way to help, you see, if you want to survive you have one choice." robin was not surprised he thought he was dead already as he clearly remembered falling down the fell jaw.

"though dragons ARE significantly stronger than humans no creature is above their instincts and a dragons strongest instinct is to pass down their power before they die"

robin had now figured out where this was going. " why should i have to do that?you're alive right here." 

"my form is temporary i cant sustain it forever." the old dragon replied 

"and if i refuse ill die" robin asked seeking conformation.

"that would be correct"

he had no choice,if he did not accept what would tiki do? he made a promise and he intended to keep it.  even if it meant accepting this demons offer.

"fine, i accept."

"great! now YOUR me!"
