Episode 1 - The Beginning

We begin off with the opening scene: https://youtu.be/RFQ-emkNtEs

After which we get the intro to the show: https://youtu.be/EfQPZfEI8V4

After those two opening scenes, we cut to our main character Byleth as she opened her eyes and was holding a bow and arrow steadily as a man was behind her

Jeralt: steady...keep your arms straight...careful...now!

Byleth shoots an arrow and hits an apple that was on a pole

J: alright, that was a good shot. keep those lessons in mind until tomorrow morning at 3:00. got it?

B: got it.

J: it's gonna be a long day tomorrow so we have to keep ourselves prepared. Mercenaries must always wake up early to to destroy any surprises. Mercenaries must never be tired even if you just woke up.

B: Right.

J: repeat.

B: Mercenaries must always wake up early to to destroy any surprises. Mercenaries must never be tired even if you just woke up.

J: good. now let's go get some dinner.

Jeralt and Byleth then walk out of the fields and head over to the their village as no knights are there and the sign next to the village even says "Home of the Mercenaries". Jeralt and Byleth head to a small food shop

J: give us a whole chicken, and three rice bowls with curry.

Shopkeeper: that'll be 60.

J: right.

J: damn it...left my pouch in the fields.

Byleth then gives the shopkeeper her money.

J: Byleth we can just go back it won't take lo-

B: I have plenty of cash.

J: but that's YOUR money.

B: but it's our food.

J: (sigh) fine. But next time I'm paying

we then cut to byleth sitting at a table in her house while jeralt makes dinner. Jeralt looks back at Byleth and breathes in deeply

J: (whispers to himself) it's just small talk, it's just small talk. (normal voice) so How have you been doing?

B: well your with me all the time.

J:um yeah uhh...well how have you been doing while uhh...sleepin.

B: well I had that dream again.

J: the war one or the one about the little girl on a throne.

B: I...can't seem to remember. do you think it means anything?

J: hmmm. I think we should just relax for now.

B: weren't you preparing to do small talk?

J:...I think I trained you too well

We then get a shot of the house at night time as Jeralt walks up to Byleth while she's sleeping

J: byleth. Byleth!

Byleth wakes up.

J: come on. Three kids came here calling for help. apparently thieves are coming near the village.

B: where are they?

J: at the watchtower by the gate. The three kids are outside our house and need our help. get up.

B: right.

Byleth heads out the house as one guy who was slightly black and wore a black unifoform and yellow scarf was resting against the front yard tree with his bow, another guy who was looking at his spear and was blonde with a blue scarf, and a woman with white hair and purple eyes with a red scarf who was sitting on a tree stump with an axe

the blonde guy sees Byleth and goes up to her to offer her a hand shake

D: The name's Dimitri.

B:...(takes hand shake) Byleth.

D: That  trouble maker over by the tree is Claude.

C: sup.

the woman gets up and walks toward Byleth

D: And this woman is-

E: Edelgard von hresvelg. Thank you for agreeing to help us.

B: happy to help. what happened with you and the thieves?

C: some bastard caught us three minding our own business. now he wants us dead.

J: we'll help you three as much as we can. get your weapons ready Byleth.

B: understood. (walks back in the house to get weapons)

J:...I thought she already had em

We cut to the leader of the thieves as he walks with his group with their weapons ready

L: where could those rich brats be!?

Thief: they must've walked into that village.

L: really? It's like they thought I would harm a harmless village...how stupid do they think I am!?

Then Jeralt rides out the gate with his horse and stops as Byleth and the rest come out

T: i-is that-

L: Jeralt the blade breaker...I thought you quit being a knight a long time ago!?

Byleth looks at Jeralt with a confused look

J: I suggest you leave!

L: You didn't answer my question.

J:...Now!

L: sorry. but not even a retired knight can change my mind!

J: Byleth, keep those three in a good formation.

Byleth gets her sword out as the thieves charge

Byleth runs at the thieves and keeps dodging and blocking while also striking at them with speed as the three teens charge as well as Dimitri use well timed attacks while using honorable techniques. Claude keeps keeping his distance as he shoots and doesn't miss. and Edelgard fights ferociously but always keeps her guard up and her techniques sharp

Meanwhile jeralt manages to kill 6 thieves while on his horse as he even breaks a thief's sword with his spear

Byleth then slides under a thief and stabs him through the back before shoving the sword into another body, pulling it out, and using the body as a shield so she can kill thieves more easily

then Edelgard sees the leader as she then charges at him and quickly blocks his attacks and knocks him on the ground

Sothis: hmm. that's my name...if I remember.

B: Hm?

S: Just now I have remembered my own name. However that's all I can remember, for now at least. But enough of my name, let's get back to how risked your life just to save someone you hardly met!

B: She could've died!

S: You fool! If you perish, I will perish as well! (deep sigh) your like a child!

B: Aren't you also a child?

S: How dare you!? I am far older than even that old hag of a thief!

S: besides, what would your father think!?

B:...Mercenaries have no time to weep for the dead.

S: oh don't make excuses!

B: look I'm sorry, I didn't think you were real, I thought you were just some random dream of mine.

S: (sigh) alright...you are forgiven, IF you thank me for saving your life!

B: ugh, Thank you for-

S: LIKE! YOU! MEAN IT!

B:...(does an apologetic bow) thank you for saving, I'm sorry for...being. like a child.

S: and thank you as well. now, what to do. It's clear if we resume time, the axe will be buried through your bones and tear your back apart.

B: !!!

S: oh don't be a baby I'll think of something.

B: If you can stop time...can't you turn back the hands of time?

S: Wait. Of course! that's a genius idea. I guess your not as empty headed as I presumed. (summons a symbol). Now I can only take you back so far so don't expect it to be that powerful.

B: got it.

S: good luck childish mercenary.

The thief leader gets up and runs away in fear with the rest of his group as Edelgard looks at Byleth in awe

E: T-thank you.

B: anytime.

Jeralt rides over to Byleth

J: are you hurt?

B:...Not really.

so then three knights arrive near the gate as one of them had no helmet

Alois: halt! the knights of serios are here to-huh? The thieves are gone.

J: oh no. why him?

A: wait. Captain Jeralt is that you!?

J: ignore him byleth. I'll deal with him.

B: who is he?

J: His name is Alois.

A: where have you been Captain!? I haven't seen you in years!

J: Don't call me that. I'm not a captain anymore

J: why are you even here?

A: I came to save the students from those thieves.

J: students? so they're from-

A: Garreg Mach Monestary!

J: oh no...

A: I thank you for saving these students captain. and...who is this?

J: this is Byleth my...apprentice.

B: I thought I was your daughter?

J: don't tell him-

A: (gasp) You have a daughter now!?

J: (sigh) now you've done it.

A: That is wonderful news! I'm Alois! Your father's best friend!

B: umm. hi.

A: And it looks like your a fighter as well! YOU COULD BE A KNIGHT TOO!

J: Alois the kid just went through a big fight, let her get some air.

A: right! I Apologize for my shameful interaction!

J:  it's fine. let's talk somewhere else.

A: right! be good for your father while were gone missie! (Gets hit) ow!

J: come on!

Edelgard then grabs byleth gently by the shoulder

B: hm?

E: Teach me how to do those techniques!

B: uhhhhhh.

E: oh! s-sorry. aside from my classmates I'm not the best at social interaction.

B:...could you please let go of me.

E: (blushes and lets go) sorry!

D: I never new I'd meet Jeralt the blade breaker...

C: How does it feel to be the daughter of a retired captain of the Knights of serios?

B: I never knew he was a captain. also what are the Knights of se-

Dimitri and Edelgard: YOU NEVER HEARD OF THEM!?

D: they have defended the lands of fodlan for years!

E: They have protected everyone no matter the cost!

C: They're pretty sweet.

E: your father was their captain for quite some time. we don't know what happened.

B: I see. So what about you three.

E: oh. Well I'm the princess and next heir to the adrestian Empire. we've had a few issues over the years with the other lands but thanks to my father, We seem to have gotten back into sha-

D: That is quite enough Edelgard, don't wanna talk for too long. I'm also the next heir to my land. It would be nice to have someone like you helping the kingdom of Farighus.

C: sure you could be with mr hot shot, but the Alliance has been waiting for a person like yourself. however I didn't realise I also wanted someone like you (winks) until now

E: enough with the flirting. who would you like to join miss byleth?

Byleth was about to speak but Jeralt came back.

J: alright kiddo change of plans. Since I wouldn't dare run from the Knights of serios, Looks like we're going to Garreg mach. I hope you like it. we're probably gonna be there for quite some time

B: will it take long.

J: nah I'm sure it'll be a short trip. now get your stuff ready. we move out in a bit.

B: Right.

C: hehe tonight is just full of surprises isn't it.

D: come on claude. you'll make her uncomfortable.

C: Ha! just wait until she meets sylvain.

D:...your right that will be worse

https://youtu.be/gNcok\_3hRR0 (couldn't find female version)

So we cut to two big doors opening as It was like the inside of a church at at the end of the room Rhea was at the end of the room next to a small throne

J: Be careful, she may be the sweetest woman you'll ever meet, but it's not hard to get her upset.

Rhea: you must be the daughter of our brave captain. your even more beautiful than I imagined. But then again, everyone here is beautiful in my eyes. may I get a closer look.

B: I won't mind.

Rhea gets close as she looks over at byleth

R: You definitely got the build of our captain. but your looks do remind me of your mother. may she rest in peace with the goddess

B: You knew her?

R: why of course I-

J: I think that's enough for now rhea.

R:...Your right. It's nice to have you hear dear Byleth. tomorrow morning I have a surprise for you so please rest whle you can. The walk must've been tiresome.

Rhea pats byleth on the head and gives her a sweet motherly glance before Jeralt and Byleth leave the room

J: she wants you to teach.

B: Hm?

J: Before we entered I already had a talk with her by myself. Thanks to Alois, Rhea believes you'll make the students learn valuable information. I hope your ok with that.

B: Just as long as it isn't too much.

J: You haven't met the kids here.

B: it seems she's already fond of me. How long has she been Archbishop?

J: honestly even I don't know. Heck I don't even know her age.

B: She looks pretty young to me.

J: listen Byleth. I want you to keep an eye on Rhea. I don't know what she's planning so keep your guard up.

as Jeralt and Byleth walk they soon see two adults as they were arguing and bickering.

M: Oh! you must be the new professor!

J: Damn it Alois.

M: I am professor Manuela. I am a physics teacher, a songtress...and avalible~

H: and I'm Mr. Hanneman, I was once a scholar at the school of magic. I wonder what your crest is-

M: Don't go investigating another newcomer Hanneman!

H: I'm sorry if research isn't as important wanting to be in bed with the newcomer!

M: At least I have real goals!

H: you call wanting an actual love life a true Goal!?

M: At least I don't stay in my office to research 24 hours a day!

H: At least I DATED!

jeralt holds byleth's shoulder

J: We should leave...now.

Byleth and Jeralt walk away while Manuela and Hanneman keep arguing as jeralt then stops.

J: right here is my old office. You should go find your room for now, I have to sort things out.

B: Ok. I'll see you tomorrow.

J: Right. oh i almost forgot. If you meet a young orange haired tomboy, bring her here.

B: A tomboy?

J: Trust me she's a good sport, I think you'll like her.

B: alright. see ya.

J: bye for now kiddo.

Byleth then walks around the Monestary as she accidentally bumps into a short purple haired teen with flowers

B: Oh. hi there.

?: u-uhh um...

B: you ok?

?: I'MSOSORRYPLEASEDON'TKILLMEISTILLHAVESOMUCHTODO!!!

B: Woah slow down-

the girl then zooms out of the area as Byleth stands there confused

B: She seems nice...

Byleth then goes over to her main room as she sees a big black white haired man standing next to her door.

B: Hello.

D:....(gives Byleth flowers)

B: hm?

D: I am Dedue. I wanted to welcome you. Dimitri told me a lot about you.

B: you know him?

D: I serve him as his royal bodyguard. enjoy your stay at the Monestary.

B: Thank you. good night.

D: good night.

Dedue walks away

So then byleth goes in her room and closes the door and the screen goes black before we cut to Byleth studying in an area in the Monestary
