Claude woke up in his dorm room as he stares at the dorm window which is letting out the morning dawn within his room. 

'A new dawn has risen in Fodlan. Normally this would be a bright happy new day for me but today it...something different.' Claude got off of his bed as he stares at the bright sunlight

Claude sighs to the ground "Yesterday, I had to visit Marianne who got beaten up by some bullies and negotiates with Seteth on what we should do with those 'bullies'. It was a pain in the neck as Seteth continued to suggest that we completely expel them from Garreg Mach." Claude took a deep breath "I ended up caving in even though the punishment is a bit harsh in my books but hey those 'bullies' shouldn't bully in the first place if they what to avoid punishment." 

He looks at his nightgown in the mirror "First I need to get changed and I still own Hilda for saving Marianne," Claude sighed "I really should decide on what gift to give her otherwise soon or later otherwise Hilda won't cover my back." He took a look at his desk while he is changing "That reminds me, the letter..." Claude stares at his window "Let hope she actually gets it and replies to me."

Claude tossed his nightdress onto his bed and dressed up in his student uniform after he got the final piece of his uniform together, there a sudden knock on his dorm room door making Claude turn towards the door 

"Huh? Who could that be?" Claude asked as he walks to the door and looks out at the tiny peephole on his door to see a woman with white hair right in front of him "Well, well, well Princess, it looks like you came to visit me," 

Claude unlocked the door and opens it 

"Hey, Princess did I do something that ruined your beauty sleep?" Claude smirked at her

Edelgard just frowns and sighs "Claude you never change, do you? Anyways the Professor as called us to her room...all the house leaders will be taking part and well you can guess why I am here in the first place," said Edelgard 

"Huh, Teach has decided to call us...this earlier in the bright morning sun? my, I ask why or has Teach decide to keep it a secret until we come along?" Claude asked as he stops smirking and looks directly at Edelgard

Edelgard just shrugs "Guess for yourself Claude as I would have told earlier if that was the case." 

Claude shakes his head "Very well Edelgard, let us set course to the Professor room now lead the way princess." Edelgard just rolled her eyes as she just quietly turns around and started to walk away.

"Hey come on Edelgard, it was joking!" Claude facepalm himself "Wait for me!" Claude quickly followed behind Edelgard

Earlier before the rising sun

Byleth was staring outside of the window of her room as her father just entered. She didn't look at her father as he made his way towards her desk

"Hey, we got some news from Remire Village," said Jeralt as he places a piece of paper onto Byleth desk

Byleth sighed and took a deep breath "It time." muttered Byleth as turned around "Yes what is it, father?" Byleth asked as Jeralt shakes his head

"We've got to go...now." Jeralt voice is filled with panic but his face reminds emotionless

Byleth turns around to face her father"Yes, Father I have heard the news that Remire Village has gone...' rogue'." 

Jeralt face reacted with surprise "How did you?" He sighs as he places his hand onto his head "Nevermind just gather the students in your house, we have been ordered to investigate the village as soon as possible." said Jearlt as Byleth kept a calm look on her face

"Of course, Father may I suggest instead of my house only how about the Blue Lions and the Golden Deer join in this mission with the Black Eagles?" Byleth asked as Jeralt eyes when wide

Jeralt, however, kept his calm as he replied "Hmm, it would be nice to have some assistance for this mission as it seems pretty dangerous and we might need more healers,"

"I agree, Father, I will get started on preparing the students for this mission at once," Byleth started to gather some paperwork 

"Do it quick, I will be waiting at the gate and you know what will happen if you take too long?" Jeralt asked with a worried voice

Byleth nods "I do, I call the other house leaders at once." 

"Good, I guess I better get going now." Jeralt leaves Byleth room as she heard some shouting outside of her room

------------

Dimitri entered Professor Byleth room 

"Professor, may I ask why you called us here?" Dimitri asked as he noticed that Byleth is staring outside of her window looking at the outdoors and the graveyard 

"Not now Dimitri, I tell you once the others have arrived," said Byleth who frowned a bit 

Dimitri's face turns into confusion "Others? I didn't know that you were going to invite other people...so tell me Professor who are you inviting?" 

"What do you think?" Byleth asked in a calm like voice

"...." a bell has ringed in Dimitri's head "You are inviting the House Leaders?" Dimitri asked in a shocked like matter 

Byleth nods as Edelgard and Claude made their entrance 

"Professor and...Dimitri? so tell me, my Teacher, why did you call us?" Edelgard asked in a calm like matter

"Yea, Teach it wasn't cool that you had to wake us up earlier in this bright morning sun that just came out," said Claude as his face turns into a frown

"Sorry to ruin your beauty sleep everyone but I am afraid I got some...haunting news about Remire Village," said Byleth as her face turns into a frown as she looks at the window of her room

"Remire Village...that the same village where we all met. Is it not?" Dimitri asked as both Edelgard and Claude start to smile alongside Dimitri himself

"Indeed, It was when the Professor saved me from that bandit." Edelgard made a dirty like look at Claude

Claude just shrugs at the Byleth, Dimitri and Edelgard "And where I took my tactic retreat...but hey at least we got to meet with Teach." 

"That nice and all but I am afraid that Remire Village has been...reporting some strange activities and that originally the Black Eagles were going to handle this alone but...I suggested to my father that I get some help from the other Houses," said Byleth as she stares at the other House lords

Dimitri wasted no time "Oh, of course, we will gladly aid you, Professor and you too...Edelgard." Dimitri bowed down and nods to Edelgard 

"So we are going on a little special trip with teach...well alright, I guess we can join in," said Claude as he smiles at Byleth 

Edelgard bowed to Dimitri and Claude "Thank you, Prince Dimitri, and...Claude Von Riegen, now shall we gather our classmates?" Edelgard asked

"Yes, we shall get prepared at once," turns to face Claude "Come on Claude let get a move on," said Dimitri as he turns around as he heads toward the exit

Byleth raised his hand forward "Remember to meet at the front gate and hurry it up, eat cold breakfast if you have to or don't eat all as it better to be early then late," said Byleth as she stares at Claude

Claude just shrugs towards Byleth "We will teach, I just get the others," said Claude as he makes his exit out of the room 

"Me too Professor, I will get the others and tell them to prepare. Edelgard you should do the same," said Dimitri as he also makes his exit

"Of course Dimitri, we shall meet at the front gate," said Edelgard as she watches Dimitri and Claude make their exit out of Professor Byleth room

"Shall we gather the rest of the Eagles?" Byleth asked as Edelgard nods 

"Yes, my teacher we shall," said Edelgard as they were the last one to exit

--------------

Claude arrived back at his classroom where the rest of his classmates were waiting for him. Claude smiles as he makes his way towards the front of the class

Claude steps forward in front of the Golden Deer classroom "Hey, I would like to make an announcement so can you please all quiet down." said Claude as he waits for the rest of his classmates to quit down. "Alright, Professor Byleth has given us an important mission so lesson up for reals." Turns to face Hilda  "Especially you Hilda!" 

-------------------

Dimitri just arrived at his classroom to see that Dedue, Ingrid, Sylvain and Felix were all waiting for him.

"Your Highness, where were you?" Dedue asked in a worried voice as Felix just scoff at him 

"Sorry, Professor Byleth has called me earlier into her office...so have Ashe, Annette and Mercedes arrived yet?" Dimitri asked as he looks around inside the Blue Lion Classroom 

"No, not yet they are still eating their breakfast...shall I tell them to hurry up?" Sylvain asked while Ingrid just gave a dirty look

"Yes, please do Sylvain, tell them that they need to meet at the front gate of the monastery as quickly as possible. It doesn't matter if they haven't finished eating, all that matters is that we arrive on time." The other blue lions reacted with surprise as Ingrid came forward and raised her hand "Yes Ingrid?"

"Your Highness? Is something wrong?" Ingrid asked as her voice is filled with worry 

"Yes, I am afraid that Professor Byleth has requested the aid of the other houses so our current mission has been postponed." Everyone in the room beside Felix reacted with surprise while Felix himself just reacted with another scoff

"Huh...if she requesting aid from the other houses it must be that the mission she has been given is hard for her," said Felix who Dimitri just ignored his comment

He raised his hand toward the door "Alright enough with the chatter. We shall be meeting at the front gates just get everyone else ready and remember to grab your equipment!" shouted Dimitri as the Blue Lions are roaring themselves into action

---------------

She arrived at the front gate alongside the other Black Eagles with some of them (especially Bernadetta and Linhardt)being quite upset that they had to get cold breakfast instead of a standard hot breakfast to make there on time as the Golden Deer when first then Blue Lions and finally Black Eagles last. So they instead ate cold breakfast which isn't as tasty as a normal standard hot breakfast but it faster as it allows you to skip the line. 

"Alright, it looks like the Eagles are here...now we just have to wait for the Lions and the Deers," said Jeralt as he smiles a bit 

Dorothea tapped Edelgard on the shoulder "Edie, I know we had to hurry but what is so important that you had to make us eat...cold breakfast?" Dorothea asked as her face is filled with disappointment 

"Sorry everyone but, The Professor and I were afraid of us being late and due to being last in the lineup of the mess hall. The Professor decided to make us eat cold breakfast," said Edelgard as her voice doesn't seem concerned 

Linhardt just sighed "Is this your way of punishing all of us for being slightly late on the last mission we when off to?" Linhardt asked as his voice is filled with anger which caught nearly everyone off guard by Linhardt comment

Casper nods "Linhardt is right, I know we have to hurry but why can't we have some actual breakfast not...those tasteless fruits and wires," said Casper (Wires=strings of carrots that have been dried.)

"I can't believe that I am saying this but Linhardt is right just like Casper said...why can't we eat a normal breakfast...we were about to be next," said Ferdinand as everyone in the Black Eagles beside Petra, Hubert, Edelgard and Byleth started to throw in their comment about the tasteless breakfast

Hubert looks frustrated at the discontent as he was about to raise his voice but Byleth just pushed him back as she stepped forward

"This is part of training as not everyone can eat a hot meal every day. So sometimes you have to eat only what you need as right now a cold breakfast is the only thing we need to keep us going," said Byleth in a calm like matter "Just be thankful that we got something to eat,"

Petra stepped forward next to Professor Byleth "Professor is right, hunters don't always come back with food and that we have to stay strong until we get food again," said Petra 

Edelgard also stepped forward "Don't worry, we brought some supplies with us for the journey but we still need to the wait for the other houses," said Edelgard as she sighs with relief as the Black Eagles started to calm down

"Alright, kiddos be quiet and behave. After a couple of mins, we move out with or without the other houses," said Jeralt 

"As expect of Lady Edelgard Leadership," said Hubert as he smiles 

Edelgard shakes her hand "Don't thank me, Hubert. Thank Petra and Byleth," Hubert slight frowns but just nods

After a couple of mins of waiting, the Golden Deer has arrived with all of their equipment as most of the student appears to be energic and playful 

The Last of the Houses to arrive was the Blue Lion but even so, they still arrived with all of their equipment 

"Alright is everyone here?" Jeralt asked again as Byleth, Edelgard, Dimitri and Claude make a headcount 

After the last head was counted for Byleth turns to Jeralt and nods "Father, everyone is prepared and ready," said Byleth 

"Good, I would hate to face the wrath of Rhea if I left behind one of her students...oh crap...hey Byleth have you asked the o..." Jeralt face started to turn into a panic until Byleth just raised her hand right in front of Jeralt 

"Don't worry, Father I already handle it," said Byleth in a calm like manner 

"Huh...I really could never understand your magic..." Jeralt stares at the bright skies "It like you could predict everything at once. Alright now, let move out!" Jeralt alongside a couple of knights and the other houses started a march. Towards Remire Village and what they saw is........
