    YEAR OF THE REALM 860

    The Night of the Flames

    Archduke Elwin Rosfield, Joshua Rosfield, and Rodney Murdoch escaped from the destruction wrought upon Phoenix Gate by a mysterious second Eikon of Fire. Though his body was not recovered from the rubble, it is believed that Clive Rosfield, First Shield of Rosaria, perished in the fortress that night while defending his family from their would-be assassins.


    When Murdoch orders the remaining forces to rally at the rear gate, the men instead search the fortress for Clive. As a result of this, many things change and one thing does not.

    15 is not a chapter, it is an update about the future of this work.

    Summary

    “Ultima is gone, and when the world reverses, he will not return. But other enemies will, are you certain you would swear your sword to our cause?”

    Clive’s never much been certain about anything, naught besides the title of Shield he still carries. Even still, Cid’s legacy wouldn’t be complete until everyone was free, Eikon’s included. So, on the brink of death, dazed and confused, Clive holds up his still-flesh hand to the sky and makes his oath.

    “As you have sworn your power to mine.”

    -

    Dying on the sand, Clive Rosfield is offered a choice. He decides to take it.

    Summary

    Five years after Ultima’s defeat, those left behind have no choice but to push onward in a world still on the precipice of ruin. Left with all that remains of Clive—her twin boys—both Jill and Joshua do all that can be to ensure the world they grow up in is one of less strife and struggle than what came before. But the destruction of the crystals and the god that created them has left the aether and eikons in a state of chaotic distress that plagues the entirety of Valisthea. And now, to have received a letter from the north about stone bearers coming back to life, Jill has a new mystery to unfold.

    At the same time, Clive finds himself waking on what he thinks must be the western Rosarian coast, though how he arrived there, he doesn’t know. Nor has he any idea how much time has passed since that final fight with Ultima. But as he begins to investigate, he sees a battle of eikonic proportions in the distance, one that revives old, bitter memories. Ifrit, perhaps, can make up for wrongs wrought so long ago.

    Meanwhile, behind the scenes, a shadow manipulates them all, his eyes set on those who would become dominants and tools both.

    Summary

    A study in escapism, and inevitability.


    "Give me a reason to," she snaps, finally grasping her Slate.

    "They're my memories."

    Zelda looks at him. Takes in his knit forehead and the desperation she's never seen in him until now. She swallows, struggling to keep her voice from trembling as she whispers, "They're mine, too, Link."

    His heavy gaze dips, and for a moment, the crackle of her fallen torch is all there is. The seconds tick by. Five. Five more precious seconds he's stealing from her.

    That she's letting him steal from her.

    Then, his eyes lift, and he says:

    "Let's make a deal."
