Of Sacred Blood: Difference between revisions

[[Aversa]] welcomes [[Chrom]], [[Robin]], and [[Frederick]] to [[Plegia]] as they arrive, and confirms the rumors that the new King [[Validar]] is [[Grimleal]]. Validar arrives and greets them; though he denies ever having met them, Chrom and Robin privately recognize Validar from the assassination attempt on Emmeryn. Aversa states that Plegia can offer no soldiers, but can provide 800 warships, 200 transports, and full funding for the campaign against [[Valm]], an offer which is accepted. Before they can return to Port [[Ferox]], Aversa introduces the most accomplished hierophant of Plegia, who looks identical to Robin and shares their name. Before such a coincidence can be clarified, Aversa and Validar depart to prepare Plegia's aid against Valm.

That night, Robin is troubled by thoughts of the hierophant before hearing the hierophant's voice calling out. Robin then hears Validar's voice, claiming he is Robin's father and requests Robin give in to [[Grima]]. Chrom arrives, having heard Robin's shouts, causing Validar to cease contact, dissipating Robin's apparent headache. Robin tells Chrom about Validar's voice and his claim that Robin is his child, and Chrom speculates that the hierophant may be Robin's twin, though Robin is unsure. Frederick then runs in and informs Chrom that they are under attack from [[Risen]], in spite of the posted sentries. Chrom accuses Validar of enabling this, then orders the [[Shepherds (group)|Shepherds]] to prepare to fight.
