Summary
The Warrior of Light systematically burns every bridge around her, insisting she has no one she can turn to but the Ascians in her quest to undo the flaws of Zodiark's creation. Meanwhile, former friends desperately seek to stop her from betraying all they have ever worked for, despite it being almost certainly too late.
Emet-Selch, revived by the Warrior's black magic, stands caught between disgust and desire for the lover he once knew and the half-souled witch she is now. He cannot avoid her: death has not ended his own enigmatic plans, and she is a tool at his disposal.
Elidibus can feel the jaws of a trap closing in from all sides, and must find and stop the source before all is brought to ruin.
All would save the world in the manner they deem best fit. They cannot all succeed. Nor are they the only forces at play...
Continuation of Snag.

Summary
Isolated by power, by circumstance, by trauma, the Warrior of Light finds herself drawn in by the words of Emet-Selch and the knowledge he dangles just out of her reach. It becomes painfully clear that the two are far more alike than comfortable for her to admit, and that his need for an ally is real. She is no ancient sorcerer, but she bears the remaining glory of fallen Mhach, and she has ever been resourceful. Even the inevitability of death is malleable, to one brilliant but unwise.
She will save all possible worlds. She must. To die trying is not an option.

Summary
This is a story about choosing, against all obstacles, to become a better person. This is a story about the mundane power of names. This is a story about treading water so high you need to crane your neck to breathe, and the undertow is building, and it hates you. This is a story about communication when all lines have been cut.
This is a story about putting yourself back together even while someone else is smashing the pieces with a hammer.

Summary
"A heartbeat without harmony
Is moonlight without dark
The heart seeketh equilibrium
With balance will your worry part.So still this broken melody,
And therewith shoulder thee.
One last step only leaving
An empty hearth down by the sea.
An empty hearth down by the sea."The Warrior of Light isolates herself more and more as she journeys through Norvrandt. Desperate for connection, convinced she cannot turn to her friends, she finds herself turning to the Ascian Emet-Selch. There is refuge in the expectations of an enemy: she knows how this will end, must end.
And yet desperate times call for desperate measures.

Summary
Knowledge dictates expectation, and expectation colors perception.
The misunderstanding goes both ways; Emet-Selch has a number of preconceptions about you that need correcting.
Oh, he'll fall, all right. But he'll love it all the way down - and so will you.
