Robin nodded, and upon seeing that his remaining opponents were spellcasters, shifted from his Levin Sword to his normal Bronze Sword.
"Alright. Let me take point, then." An odd blue flame-like aura seemed to surround the man.
Ignis
"...Time to tip the scales!"
Leaping in, magical energy engulfed Robin's blade, and he cut down one of the Onmyoji, seeing them dissipate.
Corrin followed up with a slash to another, dropping the mage.

"What was t- Never mind, I'll ask later..." Corrinne said, following her brother as he cut down one of the spellcasters, turning her attention to its companion.
There was an odd gleam in her eyes as she prepared to jump...
"For N- I make my own fate!!"
She lunged for the remaining Onmyoji, delivering a rare critical hit to it. With one blow, the spellcaster fell, vanishing...
"Glad that's over with..."

Corrin stumbled slightly, falling backwards. "Urgh... n-no kidding..."
Robin sheathed his blade, kneeling down to look the manakete over. "...He needs medical attention. You too, by the looks of it. I have a vulnerary with me that can help somewhat but I need to get you two to the city..."
He offered Corrin his hand, helping him up, before giving him the potion.
Using some of it, Corrin seemed to get more steady on his feet. "Haah... alright... thank you again for saving us..."
"Robin. And you are?"
"I'm Corrin... and this is my sister, Corrinne."

"I'll be fine," Corrinne said, trying to ignore the pain from the spectral tiger. "I'll walk it off," she said in response to the looks the two men were giving her.
"Now that introductions are over with," she sheathed her Yato, glaring in the direction of her dropped tome. "Where exactly ARE we? All I know is that there's a cemetery, and..."
Wait. "You said there was a city nearby? Does that mean... There's actually a lot of people??"
This was quite the revelation...

Robin nodded. "Indeed. It was... quite the shock. I still don't know what this place is called, but I came this way from east of here with another..."
He briefly wondered what exactly Blake had been doing, but shook his thoughts aside.
"...Who were those people? I could barely see them at first."

"Those... things, you mean?" Corrinne asked, a nervous edge to her voice. "I was afraid you were going to ask that..."
She looked into her brother's eyes, still clutching Yato tightly. Whispering into his ear... "Can we tell him? He does look a bit like that hooded figure..."
The hand holding the sacred blade twitched slightly. It was apparent that Corrinne was still tense from what had just transpired...

Corrin looked back at Corrinne; he was rather tense, but he was also glad to be alive. "I think we can. That hooded figure used fire... he's using lightning. Plus, I don't think he would've saved us if he was the hooded man... right?"
Robin remained quiet, tilting his head.

"W-Well, I guess you have a point..." Corrinne sighed. "You've just always been the more trusting of us, and, well... I just fear it'll be your downfall... But I digress."
The pointy-eared girl turned to face Robin. "They were Vallite- urk!" She clutched her chest, the pain worse from the Tiger Spirit attack. "Soldiers... Almost invisible troops. It's a long story..."
Her grip on Yato slightly loosened. "Please don't ask me to say the name much. There's a curse, but it seems weaker... wherever this is. Normally if you say a word outside of that place, you die."

Corrin nodded. "I know... you've told me more than a few times." He grimaced as she felt the chest pain.
Robin put a hand to his chin. "I see... that's a curious way to keep information quiet. So you arrived at this place instead of... wherever you were going? This kingdom where those soldiers came from?"
He had a feeling that he was getting himself involved in something way beyond him, but...
"I see. Well, if nothing else, I need to get you two to the city. We can probably get you medical treatment there."

"Y... Yeah..." Corrinne said with a small nod, clutching her chest still. "We jumped into a not-really-bottomless canyon intending to arrive in that kingdom, but then..."
The fireball. Their attacker. Scarlet...
"We were attacked by a hooded man mid-fall, then we fell into a portal and ended up here..." She rubbed the back of her head with her free hand. Her chest really was starting to hurt. "And I suppose I could use some medical attention... What kind of healers do they have in this strange land?"

Robin had only caught a glimpse himself, but...
"...Medicine far more advanced than anything we've ever known. Come." Nodding, the man turned, heading back. Eventually, on the horizon, the twins could see the tall buildings of the city.
Corrin was dumbstruck. "...By the Gods..."
