RECENT HISTORY OF EARTHLAND
X???~X785
■ Prologue: The stage is set for the recent events.
An entire noble family, murdered. The masters of all the Light Guilds, ordered by the Royal family to invest and defeat the one responsible. But even with the Rune Knights to help them, they reached the town and found it completely abandoned. With the interference of Cesare, the master of Phantom Lord, he wound up fighting Lance, master of Blue Pegasus in Castle Solace, while Cecilia and Aguero of Fairy Tail and Lamia Scale instead ran into a mysterious masked man. As they battled, whatever grievous damage Aguero inflicted was reflected back to his own body. Using their interference as an opening to Escape, the masked man leapt off the castle, only to land atop his mysterious ship. Desperate, the council took aim with the Etherion Cannon, only for the beam to be reflected back to the Etherion system, obliterating it and disabling the Council's strongest defenses. The loss of the Etherion Cannon weakened the council and the country, allowing the Dark Guilds to run wild. The war had only just begun. The masked man would come to be known as Crowley, the master of Grimoire Heart.
X785
■ X785, March 24th: Crowley of Grimoire Heart plans an attack on the Rune Knight's headquarters in Era. After the slaughter of the corrupt Solace noble family, and the stealing of the Etherion Cannon from the magic council, Crowley plans his next move, hiring Phantom Lord to aid them in the attack. With many of the councilmen busy on other Countries, Grimoire Heart takes the opening to strike.
■ X785, March 24th: Grimoire Heart's Ark arrived in Era to free Theseus.
Arriving in Era in the dead of night, Grimoire Heart attacks the headquarters of the magic council, hellbent on liberating their captive comrade, Theseus, putting their plan into motion.
■ X785, March 24th: Yumi and Erebus successfully steal the Magister's Index.
Amidst the chaos of Grimoire Heart's attack on Era, two members try to steal the Magister's Index while it's being transported: an artifact containing troves of top secret council information. Despite the presence of Kazumi and Tori from Fairy Tail and Ace and Kon from the Rune Knights to escort the transport, Yumi and Erebus intercept it and steal the Index.
■ X785, March 24th: Nastasya and Odin attempt to free Theseus and succeed despite being defeated. Nastastya and Odin of Grimoire Heart ambush the wagon in which Theseus is being transported. Though Ace, Hikaru from the Rune Knights and Houren from Fairy Tail defeat the interlopers, Theseus escapes in the chaos from the battle, and successfully rejoins his comrades of Grimoire Heart.
■ X785, March 24th: With the Index stolen and Theseus freed, Grimoire Heart attempts to destroy the Council Headquarters. The Era campaign had proved a frightening success for Grimoire Heart who succeeded at stealing the Magister's Index and freeing Theseus. With their ark stationed just outside Era and their objectives complete, they plan to use the stolen Etherion Cannon to destroy the council Headquarters. Their attack is stopped by Arisa and Maarshalk of Lamia Scale and Leyaria and Finn from Blue Pegasus, who successfully defeat Bianca, Roman and Caius, destroying the targeting beacon and preventing the devastating attack.
■ X785, May 25th: The Mysterious being Cell creates an arena and challenges Fiore's fighters to battle. Though many fighters fell in the attempt, Cell was eventually defeated before he could pose a threat to the world at large.
■ X785, July 25th: The Demon Astares challenges the city of Era, and is beaten by the defenders. Rather atypical for a Demon, Astartes simply awaited outside Era, instead of slaughtering random citizens. Biding his time until someone is brave enough to face him appears. He opposes the forces of the Abyss, and judges good and evil by one's character rather than their race. However, he sides with mortals in opposition to Demon Lords. Rather than enemies, he seeks to find a partner, relinquishing his soul to become a Take Over spirit. Though his challenge is bested by Adelaide, Konstantin, Alisa and Kerii, neither of the four meet his standards or wish to inherit his magic, and the demon simply takes his leave, hoping to find a partner elsewhere.
■ X785, August 15th: After freeing Theseus, Grimoire Heart turns its attention to the Light Guilds, starting with Blue Pegasus. Crowley, the leader of Grimoire Heart who once defeated the Solace noble family and destroyed their castle, continued his rampage after stealing the Etherion Cannon from the Magic council and liberating its prisioner, Theseus. He now turns his attention towards Blue Pegasus, planning an attack on Hargeon with Icarus as his Sword and Theseus as his Shield.
■ X785, September 8th: Faust and Alyssa of Grimoire Heart battle Snowflake and Chelvaric.
In another part of Hargeon, two members of Grimoire Heart, Alyssa and Faust, take on Chelvaric and Snowflake of Blue Pegasus inside a bakery. The battle ends with a victory for Blue Pegasus.
■ X785, September 8th: Caius of Grimoire Heart faces off against Noel and Atlas of Lamia Scale.
Another battle takes place in Hargeon Square, where Caius' advance is stopped by the two mages of Lamia Scale, Noel and Atlas. After a swift exchange of blows, the fight ends with a decisive victory for the Light mages.
■ X785, September 8th: Alisa of Blue Pegasus fights Odin of Grimoire Heart.Though they'd been acquainted with each other, Odin, like most members of Grimoire Heart, had kept his real affiliation a closely guarded secret. But a fully armed and armored stranger in the middle of the battlefield gave that identity away, and the two clashed, until Alisa seized victory.
■ X785, September 8th: Finn of Blue Pegasus stops Yumi from Grimoire Heart.
In another swift victory for the defenders, Yumi is defeated not by Finn but his brother Jake the Dog. At the end of the fight, Finn never even know his opponent's real identity.
■ X785, September 8th: With Theseus joining the battle in Hargeon, Adelaide stands alone and is defeated. Waiting paitently for the knights to meet him. Theseus merely grabs himself a cup of coffee and awaits patiently for opposition to arrive. He's met only by Adelaide who arrives before her companions. Defeating Adelaide, Theseus claims victory for Grimoire Heart.
■ X785, September 8th: At the climax of the battle for Hargeon, Icarus fights and kills the masters of Blue Pegasus and Phantom Lord. Despite the valiant efforts of Light Mages and Rune Knights, Icarus makes his way to Blue Pegasus and engages Blue Pegasus' Master Lance in battle. Despite the assistance of his brother, Cesare, the master of Phantom Lord, both brothers perish in battle against Icarus. Geb of Phantom Lord survives the battle, bearing witness to the deaths of both masters alongside veteran Phantoms Nagi and Ishtar.
■ X785, September 11th: In the wake of the battle for Hargeon, Crowley meets an old friend named Reign. After achieving his objective in Hargeon, Crowley makes a pit stop to see Reign, a young local noble, who recognizes him as a childhood friend. Though overjoyed at the sight of a friend he'd long thought dead, he opposed his involvement of Hargeon in his quest, while Crowley merely came to visit him, not ask for his permission. Crowley put the man to sleep, erasing his memories of the meeting before departing.
■ X785, September 27th: After Lance and Cesare's passing, Blue Pegasus invites Phantom Lord to its yearly summer festival. Blue Pegasus had successfully repelled Grimoire Heart's attack, but even with Phantom Lord's help, they were unable to save the lives of their masters, the brothers Lance and Cesare. On his deathbed, Lance spoke to the Blue Pegasus members around his death bead, asking them to hold their yearly festival with Phantom Lord, in honor of Cesare's aid and his sacrifice. This festival would ultimately end the hostilities between both guilds.
■ X785, October 17th: Noel reveals Icarus' identity to Aguero, and arranges a meeting between the two.
Enticed as a double agent for Grimoire Heart by Icarus, Noel eventually chooses to side with the Lamia Scale, revealing this name to Aguero, who forgives him in exchange for him setting up a meeting between himself and Icarus. The two fight, and Icarus comes out triumphant. However, the injuries sustained in this battle would put Icarus out of action for months while he recovered.
