    Summary

    The visions were nothing new to Byleth. She'd had them, off and on, since she was young. At best they seemed meaningless and at worst they were a source of confusion, but at least they were few and far between.

    Yet in the spring of Imperial Year 1180, something changes. When familiar faces come to the monastery, Byleth is forced into the Officer's Academy by Lady Rhea, and the visions get more frequent -- and more disturbing.

    Fire. Blood. War. Shards of scenes she can't quite put together into a whole, made all the more unsettling because she is starting to recognize the people and places in them. And glimpses of a strange young girl who only seems to be getting more and more frustrated with Byleth as time goes on.

    A year in the Academy would've been hard enough if she were just dealing with Rhea's cryptic guidance, a professor with a bewildering amount of personal interest in her and a nosy house leader. But throw in life-threatening missions, demonic beasts, and shady plots from both outside and within the church she calls home?

    No matter how hard she fights against destiny, the fires of war seem to become more and more inevitable.

    Byleth, the Holy Maiden of the Church of Seiros, has spent half of her life confined within the walls of Garreg Mach Monastery. Her days in isolation are largely the same, punctuated only by occasional escapes to the nearby forest.

    But one night, after receiving an omen from the Goddess and saving a wounded soldier's life, all of that changes.

    Summary

    A mercenary. The "Ashen Demon", known for cutting through enemies with a blank expression all the while on her face. An emotionless child only a father can love.

    Then she finds herself within the walls of Garreg Mach Monastery, surrounded by cheerful faces and earnest voices. Ones that spark a warmth in her chest, spreading from the inside out.

    Time is lost, and now she's in the midst of a war. Innocence is scarce and the years have chipped away at the soft shells of those she has come to understand as 'friends'.

    Through it all, there is a lone smile. A bright one with all the radiance of the sun. It's a smile which makes her think that one day, she'll know what it feels like to have a heart that beats.

    { On hiatus. }
