Holy King

Chrom was once the prince of the Holy Kingdom of Iris. It is now two years after, and he is the kingdom's new king. *INACTIVE* Cursor by ramblingsofatactician

"I had a terrible dream. I never knew what to make of it. Maybe I had been reading too much of Magvel’s history.

I had a dream that Grima had dragged me to the depths of Hell after I gave my life. In my hand I held his heart and yet..my chest would not stop bleeding. I had no pulse against my chest, so it meant I was holding my own beating heart; his heart.

I met the saddened Prince of Grado. Surrounded by shadows as his soul sat on the ground, silent. His eyes widened with terror as laughter could be heard around him.

I could not go far. I was chained to Grima’s sleeping body. I often wondered if this is the fate of those who are possessed. Do they walk aimlessly through Hell, burdened by the pain and suffering they brought?

I can’t say for myself…but I never wanted to tell you this dream. I kept it to myself. Maybe this is why I distanced myself, because I was scared.”

You've Been Fighting All This Time || Chrom & Lucina

[challengemyfate-archive]

The princess hesitated for a brief moment, before finally taking a bite of her food. She was immensely grateful to him for bringing it to her, even though Lucina could have easily gone to get it on her own. Still, she was not one to complain about something like this, especially when it had already happened. 

"It was the least that I could do for everyone right now. It didn’t take quite as long as I expected it to." The princess answered, glancing up at him.

And though she wouldn’t easily admit it, it truly was a relief to be taking on such everyday tasks. It was a nice break from constant battle, so once again, she had no complaints about doing such things. Other members of the Shepherds sometimes seemed hesitant to ask her to do such things, but she was always glad to do them.

[divinexmonarch]

Chrom felt relieved to see his daughter take a bite out of her food. She was a fit young woman, wasn't she? She should have a good eating habit as well. The king watched as the other spoke again, and he took her words into his mind. That was when he realised there were some clear differences between them.

Indeed the blue-haired youth had grown from his princely days, although he still had his selfish drive. He wasn't sure if others have noticed, or perhaps they have and were merely keeping quiet because of the king's status. However, his one and only tactician knew, and she certainly told him about it. Even his wife, shy as ever, told him once about it through hesitating words. This issue was something he wanted to push away and focus on what he was meant to do as a leader, but at times the urge was stronger. If the legendary Hero King would know of this, would he be ashamed of his descendant? At times, Chrom's great flaw was a frightening thing to him...

He sighed lightly, still giving Lucina an expression of relief. He tried to relax in her presence.

❝To be so selfless... I could learn from you...❞

You've Been Fighting All This Time || Chrom & Lucina

[challengemyfate-archive]

While the task of lifting some supplies had been physically strenuous, Lucina was left with a sensation of satisfaction. Daily tasks like this always helped her to remember that the time she was now in was a time of general peace. It was nice, to say the least.

It was only once she had moved the last sack of supplies that she allowed herself to rest. She sat down, allowing herself to catch her breath. True, she could have rested earlier, but she had learned never to stop something unless she could no longer handle it, or until it was completed. So that was exactly what she had done while moving those supplies.

Just when the princess had started to wondering she should do something else, she was almost startled by her father’s greeting. Lucina raised her gaze to meet his, before moving to stand up. She allowed a small smile to flicker across her face as she was offered the food, but paused for a moment, before finally allowing herself to take it.

"Thank you very much, father." She nodded thankfully, before looking around.

Just as Chrom was getting used to the fact that she was his daughter, Lucina was just getting used to the fact that he was indeed her father. After learning only to rely on herself and her friends for quite some time, it was sill odd for her to think that she now had her parents that she could rely on as well. And just having a casual conversation with her father… Well, that wasn’t even something that she had truly considered before.

[divinexmonarch]

There it was -- her smile. She was often occupied by fate's destiny to help lead Chrom's army. She was usually serious and would rarely smile, unless her brother was forcing one on her. But with her father, it seemed she would likely curve her lip upward. Perhaps she really did miss her true father...

Pressing thoughts aside, Chrom rested his hands on his hips, waiting on his daughter to begin eating her food, so that he could rest at ease. In the meanwhile, he could offer a casual conversation, hoping it would grab her interest. In way, this was similar to the time he spoke to Lucina's mother, when he tried to approach her in a less intimidated way.

❝That's some pretty tough work you did there,❞ he said after glancing about. ❝I'm impressed.❞

grandeur [ephraim | chrom]

[solarbrace]

There seemed to be no disbelief, no incredulous stare at all. Was this man so trusting? Or… if Allium knew of him, was Ephraim’s own face this obvious? 

That was probably it. Chrom believed him because he’d seen those strange cards or history books or something like that. It made Ephraim feel bizarrely self-conscious, a sensation he found jarring and unfamiliar. Chrom’s expression was inscrutable. What did he think of Ephraim, exactly?

Still cautious, but careful to maintain the regal stance of a king, Ephraim left the dungeon cell and nodded his thanks to the soldiers attending. 

"Fear not, I understand. My own home was forced to change practices in the wake of war. I do not fault you for protecting your kingdom." 

He glanced around the area surrounding his cell, trying to disguise the shivers that had overtaken him, half from damp dungeon air, half from the strangeness of all this. He saw his weapon among others in a nearby room and breathed a sigh of relief. 

"If it should make you feel safer to keep my spear from me, I will not fault you. In truth, I believe I have been near here before — you know Allium, am I correct? The tactician?" Without thinking, he gestured around his chest — roughly at said tactician’s diminutive height. “To come back here, though… I don’t know how it happened, or how I might return." 

[divinexmonarch]

❝So you know Allium... That makes it easier for me, I think.❞

Not only did he know of Ephraim through history, but Chrom knew some personal information of the man thanks to his valuable strategist. Although he felt like he knew too much, especially when the other knew nothing of the King of Ylisse.

❝Maybe something called you from here... Either way, rest easy, you're a friend to Allium, and a fellow king, there's no need to be cautious of you.❞

Perhaps that was a little naive, but it wasn't exactly the same as when he first met his strategist. He knew of Ephraim before meeting him, so there was a little more trust to hand over in this case. The Ylissean king rested a hand on his waist and gave Ephraim a calm look. The other seemed completely fine, but Chrom wanted to make sure the mood was set right for him. And so once again, he called out to the same soldier, speaking to him of Ephraim's belonging before the soldier took his leave. Chrom then motioned the other king to follow him.

❝Come with me. It's more comfortable out there than here.❞

Mapping Out "Friendship" || Lethe & Chrom

[galliasvalkyrie]

As if on cue, Lethe’s ears perked up, hearing someone addressing her, calling her out from the crowd of people who walked around her. Any ordinary individual would have been unsure of who what being addressed in such a busy town, but the trained Laguz knew immediately that she was being singled out. From the corner of her eye she noticed the blue haired figure approaching as he called out to her. Either he was quite perceptive, of her traveler’s garb did not actually prove to be an asset in terms of “blending in". No matter what the reason, she had no choice but to acknowledge his call, turning to his direction. If what she thought was true, the art of foolishly wandering about town would be soon forgotten. Now was time to be straightforward, and Lethe liked that the best.

"By the word of the people, I take it you are this kingdom’s crown? Even if this encounter was by chance, I’m humbled by such a meeting." with her best foot forward, she bowed respectfully. She was no stranger to royalty as she often stood in the company of many rulers of the continent of Tellius. Hopefully all the customs and treatments remained the same.

As she rose, she let her hood drop, revealing what she assumed would be quite the surprise to the beorc leader. Brown henna markings on her face, a pair of soft and felt-like ears, all the traits people might often associate with being part of a beast tribe. With nothing left to hide, she was able to look at him with nothing but her true self. If it was anyone else, Lethe might have held more of a cautious behavior, but in the face of royalty, being secretive was not the best display of respect. She anticipated shock regardless, but then again, most humans were like that…taken aback by difference.

"As you can see…I do not hail from these parts…but If your majesty had some time..I would be honored if you could answer some questions for me."

[divinexmonarch]

A girl?

-- Yes, the voice he heard did belong to a girl. She was quick with polite manners too. But what came next surprised him, but only for a few seconds, when he quickly assumed the girl to be something similar to a taguel. Her features resembled that of a cat more than a rabbit, but she was part animal as well, something she had in common with two  people in the vigilantes.

Moving along, Chrom nodded to the girl's question. Again, she was polite and calm, although the king himself was far from acting as a respectful heir. His manners were always too casual, more so than his younger sister. Though at this point, a lot of people were used to his behaviour, however, this was usually a surprise to strangers -- perhaps for this girl too.

Even though he was casual in his manners, at least he was a kind man.

❝Sure thing, but we should get to a more comfortable place for that -- if that's all right with you.❞

More unknown faces approach you... || Flynn & Chrom

[whitescarf-samurai]

Noticing the look that the man gave to him, Flynn was able to understand the man’s situation. Maybe a bit of explanation about this will help him be more calm about it.

"We hardly have any visitors, so we have to be careful about it, sir." He really didn’t know much as of why his own homeland didn’t have that many visitors, but well, they were issued with having to treat them when the day came that one would appear.

It just didn’t happen until now…

"This is the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado. Where do you come from, sir?"

[divinexmonarch]

Eastern Kingdom of Mikado? Interesting name, although completely foreign for Chrom to recognise. However, that wasn't a problem for him since he was fond of new places and new people. There was always something great to discover out of his own little world.

❝Where do I come from?❞

Somehow, he was able to relax now. The other youth didn't seem particularly dangerous to him. In fact, he seemed polite and dutiful, reminding the king of a particular blue-haired girl, one he considered precious to him.

❝-- I'm from the Holy Kingdom of Iris,❞ he finally answered.
