#IM FHDFJGF I LOVE THIS

[bae-leth]

So in this discord we were talking about a sothis!byleth au and I wrote a little bit about it (which is majorly Byleth being a dumbass tbh)

Byleth is the legitimate reincarnation of Sothis, therefore Sothis doesn't exist and Byleth is god now

It's not something Byleth figures out until he sacrifices his life for the sake of some noble little brat, and instead of the sweet release that is death greeting him, he finds himself in some...empty...black void? He's face to face with a stone throne, the only thing that appears to be in this desolate abyss aside from himself.

It calls his name, and beckons him ever so temptingly up the steps.

With nothing else to do here, Byleth tentatively makes his way towards it. Studying it, there doesn't seem to be any traps (although you can never be too careful), and whatever magic that would be laced within the stone, is docile. It's almost as if it welcomes him, and that is a new feeling for Byleth.

As soon as he sits down however...

Byleth finds himself...staring at the little noble again? And alive? What a strange thing...ah! No time to ponder, who knows how much time he has before she (or Byleth himself) is cut down by the bandit.

After that mess is resolved, two more noble brats join their little brigade, along with Jeralt (someone Byleth is elated to see, as he damn near drowned in an ocean of blue blood).

Huh, would ya look at that. It turns out these three actually are capable of normal teenager things, and now they're all subtlety (not really) showing off and desperately looking for his approval.

Ehhhhh, okay whatever the blue clad kid looks the most sophisticated and least stuck up we'll go with him.

And then another unfamiliar face comes into the scene and Byleth sincerely considers gutting himself, until it turns out Jeralt knows this strange man.

Wow dad, don't get too excited.

One thing leads to another apparently (don't look at Byleth for answers, he was too busy disassociating) and suddenly everyone is heading to Garreg Mach Monastery for...reasons?

Weren't they supposed to be getting their pay for this mission? Why are they going to a monastery? Why are they escorting these kids? Did they offer money?
