Apologies for the massive delay. I had a lot of writers block and I was at college. I promise I will keep the story updated as much as possible. Anyway, let's get started on the chapter.
Kiran was irritated. Garreg Mach is in danger and they blame themself for it. But they are still determined to protect the Monastery, the students and the staff. Alfonse should be their priority since the Whirlwind Emperor is constantly targetting hlm, but the summoner is a very selfless person.
Before the Wyvern Moon came, Byleth and Beles had turned 21, and Kiran was making the document on a new team... the Order of Fodlan. The team would be consisting of themself, Alfonse, Sharena, Anna, Veronica, Fjorm, Eir, Peony and Mirabilis. There maybe some students or knights who would want to volunteer.
One day, he passed the documet of the founding of the Order of Fodlan to Rhea, and she approved.
The Archbishop smiled, believing that the Summoner will boost the Morale of Garreg Mach. Ilna got the good news that Alfonse, Caspar and Linhardt were already better like Flayn and Neumi, the girl who was rescued alongside Flayn and Linhardt.
The Battle of the Eagle and Lion was coming and Kiran was already having difficulty on recruiting students for the Order of Fodlan. Alfonse did not hesitate on helping his summoner out. But Lucretia always worried about him. Everyone did.
"Lucretia is so nice..." Alfonse said. "It almost reminds me of..."
"I know it is almost like Lady Henriette." Kiran said. "But I believe Lucretia will be a better person if she joins the Order of Fodlan."
"What is this Order of Fodlan?" Drew said as he and Elizabeth approached the two.
"Oh." Kiran gasped. "Drew. Elizabeth. Just in time. The Order of Fodlan is being made so we can provide better protection to Garreg Mach Monastery."
"Protection..." Drew said. "All my life, I have been wishing to protect everyone, but they always fade away. I wish to become part of this time."
"I wish to be part of the Order of Fodlan." Elizabeth added. "I wish to protect my friends, my classmate and my brother."
Drew is shocked by Elizabeth's statement.
"Elizabeth..." He comemnted. "You don't have to-"
"I don't want you to get hurt, brother." The red haired girl shook her head. "Just let me fight by your side, brother."
Drew looked down, unaware of what to say, but he looks up, smiling at his younger twin sister.
"Of course, Elizabeth." He added.
Elizabeth hugged her brother.
"Thank you, brother!" She chirped.
"This... almost reminds me of when Sharena and I were little..." Alfonse thought to himself, trying not to cry.
"Alfonse?" Kiran turned to their friend. "Are you alright?"
"Oh." The Askran Prince turned his head. "Forgive me. I was lost in thought."
As they kept looking for recruits for the Order of Fodlan, they saw that the Blue Lions Classroom was almost empty. Valeria and Ashe were having a conversation.
"Valeria? Ashe?" Elizabeth got their attention. "What happened?"
"The House is tearing itself apart..." Valeria shook her head. "Baron Dominic's sister-in-law reccomended that Annette dropped out of Garreg Mach since Annette was too ill to participate in battle and Ferdinand became to unstable to attend the academy due to his self-esteem issues."
"Prince Dimitri, Dedue, Felix and Ingrid had to check on Sylvain since his mental health is decreasing monthly." Ashe played with his fingers. "Princesses Fjorm and Eir are trying to keep Morale up."
"We already accepted a request for an 'Order of Fodlan'." Valeria stated. "I knew what you were going to ask."
"How did you-?" Kiran asked.
"Val was born with very good eyesight." Ashe answered. "Despite not having a Crest, she can predict the enemy's moventent with just a blink of an eye."
"Wow." Alfonse was amazed. "That is an incredible abilty."
"Oh..." Valeria looked down, blushing in embarrassment since she barely gets praise. "Thank you."
The last people the Order of Fodlan recruited were Odesia and Lucretia. The former was because she felt Garreg Mach was under protected and the latter was not only because she worries for Alfonse, but also because she had made a promise to her younger sister, Lysithea.
One night, as Alfonse was getting ready to go to sleep, he could feel something burning in his left hand. He thought it might have been a candle, but it was different.
"Alfonse." A voice called out. "Can you hear me?"
"Sothis?" He guessed as he looked around.
Sothis appeared infront of him, a concerned expression in her face.
"How can I-?" He was going to ask until the Mysterious girl put one hand over his mouth.
"Shh." She hissed. "People are sleeping."
A huge silence occured. Sothis took a deep breath.
"You might be wondering how you can see me and how you know yoyr summoner can turn back time." She tilted her head. "It seems that I will explain the truth... You were almost dying during that battle against that Hel Swordsman, Líf. So your Summoner sent me to heal you... not only were you healed, but you gained the ability to see me."
Alfonse was shocked. How could he forget about Sothis saving his life from an ambush against Líf?
"I did not remember that..." He shook his head.
"Memory lane sure is surprising." Sothis sighed. "Then again... I barely have my memories... I wonder if the other Sothis does too."
Alfonse wish he knew what the hell was going on, but he doesn't since he spent three months captive. He hated being the Hero in Distress. But he could barely do anything since his mind always went elsewhere everytime he could think of a better memory of his time in Fodlan aside from being held captive by Thórr and the Whirlwind Emperor.
"I suggest you rest for tonight. You have a long day tomorrow." Sothis before she vanished.
Alfonse looked out the window, wondering how he will work with his agenda as a member of the Order of Fodlan alongside Kiran, Sharena, Anna, Veronica, Fjorm, Eir, Peony, Odesia, Valeria, Ashe, Drew, Elizabeth and Valeria.
