   Summary

   Mercedes's life has taken a winding course, and she now finds herself on her estranged brother's heels, desperate to keep up. Edelgard, having emerged from the shadows of the Empire, must choose carefully the lights that shall guide her.

   Mercedes vocalized the incantation of a familiar healing spell, but several additional notes followed—it was nearly complex enough to be a song in its own right, but her voice didn't waver to Edelgard's ears. What granted her such serenity in the midst of a living, waking, raging hell? What allowed her to be a beacon of peace and salvation in such pestilent darkness?
