Fodlans Defense

The blood of fodlan

1181 imperial year:
Byleth has gone missing after the reveal of the flame emperor and the battle of garreg mach.

All parties in the war did their own search for the professor all to no avail.

Five years passed in the blink of an eye with the war in a bloody stalemate.

1186 Enbarr:
The bloodstained emperor Edelgard has received a messenger with a disturbing letter which she read, the letter fell out of her hands after reading it she proclaimed to the messenger to call for a meeting between the leaders of what's left of the kingdom the alliance and the church at garreg mach for a secretive meeting over the letter and worrying event.

1186 Derdriu:
The Sovereign Duke of the Leicester Alliance has received the letter Edelgard sent to him. "This wouldn't be a ploy to kill us all if we're in the center right?" Claude mumbled to himself pondering if it was not only safe but possible too. In the end he decided to take the risk bringing along some of his best generals along the way, those being Lysithea, Hilda, Lorenz, and Leonie.

1186 Fraldarius territory:
Rodrigue had too received the mail from Edelgard, fearing that this maybe the only way to stop the casualties in Faerghus he reluctantly decided to go along with Ingrid, Felix, and Sylvain.

1186 Eastern Church Lands:
Seteth the current archbishop got the letter and was in shock when he saw that was personally written for his eyes alone, it was that Edelgard was going to bring rhea to the meeting and release her and speak to all about why she did what she had done. Seteth set out immediately with only himself, Catherine and Alois by his side.

10 Days Later Garreg Mach Monastery,
20th day of the Pegasus moon 1186:
The parties gathered in a heavily guarded room. "I have gathered you all here because we need to put a pause on the war because of something devastating that occurred in the western part of the empire at Fort Merceus." Edelgard told the room before being cut off by Catherine. "Wait you want us to stop because of something that happened to your people!?" "Calm down Catherine!" Said Seteth with a furrowed brow. Edelgard sighed and continued on "We had lost contact with the fortress city for a few days thus we sent scouts as anyone would do, when they arrived not a single person there was alive slaughtered... all of them innocents... children, I am not here to put blame on anyone here. Because I know for a fact only one group that would strike at this time." Claude suspiciously eyed Edelgard before asking her a personal question. "So are you saying it was Almyrans?" Hubert cleared his throat. "We know well it wasn't them or any foreign nation it was a group living underneath our noses the whole time, a group we've named 'those who slither in the dark' they were actually the reason we took Rhea not to torture her but to protect her from them."

Hubert nodded at Edelgard figuratively giving her back the torch. "Thank you Hubert, this group has lived in the shadows for too long and if we don't stop them now all of fodl-... no all of humanity is at risk of mass extinction due to them if we do not cooperate they will pick us apart." She looked Rodrigue right in the eyes before dropping a bomb on him "you too have insensitive to join us Cornelia the leader of the dukedom is one of them, they also caused..." Edelgard seemed oddly angry at herself seemingly. "D-duscur it was them the Agarthans..."

Seteth and Rodrigue both were in shock. "That name but how?" Seteth mumbled to himself. Rodrigue stared at the table. "Glenn... your majesty if what she says is true I have no choice but to..."

Edelgard stopped the emotional moment by stating her reasons for going against the church and the war on crests as well as proving it with lysithea who also was in attendance. "So in conclusion these people... if you could even call them that care only for revenge."

The group unanimously agreed upon becoming one as the group now known as 'the protectors of humanity'
