    Summary

    Thirteen years of killing. Thirteen years without the faintest glimmer of hope.

    Thirteen years of boredom, broken up by endless tension and bursts of horror.

    This is the tale of the last year. The year that the greatest soldier to have ever served amongst The Bastards of Sanbreque died.

    The year that ended when Clive Rosfield chose to live again.

    ------

    Or; a collection of loosely connected tales and missions Clive went through in the last year or so before the Nysa Defile.

    Edit 06/03/2025: Chapters 8 and 10 have been re-edited. Dialogue heavily redone to attempt to make it feel more natural, alongside some narration.

    Summary

    The Twin Realms of Storm and Ash have long been defined by a history of violence. Of suffering, of evils carried out in the name of duty, of cruelty performed in the name of King, Emperor and God.

    It is a world in which these gods live amongst men, die for their causes.

    It is a world that is dying before its inhabitant's very eyes, and yet they make endless war upon one another, in vain hope of survival.

    It is this world into which the boy named Clive Rosfield was born, then broken on its whims.

    It is this world he must burn, that it may be born anew.

    --------
    You keep away! Keep away from pack!

    I am Fenrir. I am not a pup anymore. I will bite, I will kill!

    “Torgal?”

    You know my name?

    Hey, what are you doing with your hands?!

    “It's alright. You remember me, don't you?”

    I don't know anyone with burns like that on their face. But I recognise your good eye. I've seen it before, on someone else.

    ...

    Puppy?!

    Summary

    PLEASE NOTE: I've done a major re-write of this entire fic to make it more cohesive. All chapters have been updated. CH1 is new. CH19, 50, 51, 62, 74, 76 have near total re-writes. There are ~45K new words to this update compared to the original.

    AU where Anabella's treachery is revealed, so the Night of Flames never occurs. Ultima, Eikons and the Curse all still in play.

    PART I: Elwin plans to marry Jill to Joshua, despite Jill and Clive being in love, as the political balance of the Twins was upended by the revelation of Anabella's conspiracy with the Empire. (Ch 1-22)

    PART II: Mothercrystals start collapsing and word of Ifrit spreads, capturing allied and enemy attention across he Twins. An outlaw and the lady of the wind converge on Rosaria. (CH23-45)

    PART III: A dragon joins the fight but needs help in letting go of the past. Clive discovers more powers which send him reeling. Odin sets the endgame in motion. (CH46-60)

    PART IV: Odin and Drake's Spine await on Ash. Clive faces the god who would use him as a weapon to remake the world. But he doesn't go to that battle alone. (CH61-78)

    Summary

    Clive Rosfield gave it everything he had to end Ultima and Origin. He gave his all to fix the world so that they finally could live on their own terms. Something unexpected happened in the flow of aether he used to do it, however. And now he is back where it all began: Rosalith, Year of the Realm 860.

    An impossible opportunity is too good to pass up and maybe, if he's lucky, things might just turn out better than the first time.
