#Chronos Before the Ashes

[voidhollow]

So it was our fault, the fault of the tribe of people who sought to kill the dragon. We killed the guardians of the worlds and let the Root in.

It’s fun playing this now that I’ve beaten the two games that came afterwards.

Also fighting the Pan sucks, they’re so tricky in combat. I’ve enjoyed seeing all the references to characters and lore elements that appear in remnant from the ashes and remnant 2. Both excellent games.

Chronos: Before the Ashes is where it all began... and before we see Remnant's next steps, we're going to look to its past once more. I'm going live today with Chronos: Before the Ashes.

Come chill, on twitch!

[suzukiblu]

Day twenty of “obligatory sugar baby Kon” ( no cut today, we die like Bruce Wayne's willingness to acknowledge that privacy laws apply to him ). prev: (( chrono || non-chrono ))

The skate park is mostly empty, mercifully, which is probably because of how late it’s getting but not a gift horse Tim’s gonna be looking in the mouth either way. Not even remotely will he be looking that gift horse in the mouth. They take over a bench off to the side, and Tim straps on the pads while Kon wraps up his gift bag in his coat and tucks it under the bench, which really would not normally keep anything from getting stolen in Gotham but also TTK and Bat-hypervigilance are both things, so yeah, for once Tim's pretty sure it'll be fine. 

Well, as sure as Gotham allows for, anyway. 

Admittedly the Bat-hypervigilance now has to work around the sight of Kon's bare arms because yeah, that tight and clingy turtleneck he's wearing is in fact still sleeveless and Tim can no longer try to pretend otherwise in his head. God, why did he buy Kon that turtleneck? Does he hate himself? Is that it? 

Probably that's it, yeah. 

But also . . . 

But also, Tim can't help remembering Kon admitting to liking him getting him clothes he thought he’d look good in–admitting to liking looking nice for “somebody”, instead of some vague “everybody”. 

And said “somebody”, apparently, is Tim Drake. 

Tim really does not know how to reconcile those facts in his head. Kon likes getting dressed up by somebody, and specifically likes getting dressed up to look nice for them and get shown off by them–Tim allocates a moment to self-immolate into ash, then continues the thought process–and also he likes specifically Tim Drake dressing him up to look nice and show off. 

Tim fails to reconcile those facts in his head. Those facts are just . . . not computing in his head. The facts are not in any way fact-ing. The facts are anti-facts. 

“The helmet makes you look like a total dork, for the record,” Kon informs him with a grin before kissing him again. Tim manages not to fall off the bench, but that’s about it. 

“Preventable head injuries are way dorkier than safety gear,” he says. Kon laughs at him, but not like Superboy laughs at Robin–he just sounds happy. 

Tim might still be at risk of falling off the bench, yeah. At least a little bit. 

Kon flashes him another grin, then jumps up and grabs his hands to pull him to his feet, all excited and delighted, and Tim feels a little lightheaded. 

. . . alright. Falling off the bench is no longer a risk, but falling off his own fucking head might still happen. That might still be a thing. 

“You are such a nerd,” Kon says fondly, grinning even wider and pulling him towards the nearest ramp. “A nerd with a skateboard. Skatenerd.” 

“This is not encouraging me to show you any skating, you realize,” Tim says dryly, and then Kon turns into the most evil sapient being that has ever existed, by which he means then Kon pouts at him. Tim nearly does fall off his head. 

“Please, daddy?” Kon asks, linking his hands together behind his back and still pouting at him. “You said you’d get me anything I want, right?” 

Metaphorically, Tim explodes into atoms, and then those atoms all explode into subatomic particles, and then Gotham explodes into atoms and subatomic particles, and then the whole state of New Jersey snaps in half somewhere between Trenton and New Brunswick and sinks into the Atlantic and takes the entire tri-state area with it. 

Literally, he drops his skateboard on his own foot.

Chapter three

Never in her life had Maddie ever felt more helpless than when she opened her eyes and she was, again, somewhere new and alone. Unharmed, even though she was certain her son’s grief had torn her apart. There was no rubble this time. No destruction or any other signs of the nightmare she had just lived through. She still was way from home and her family. Instead she stood in a place like the inside of a clock. Gears floated and spun around pointlessly and she herself was standing on something that seemed to be a giant clock face. The sound of slow ticking was the only thing she could hear for a while and she wondered if this was another quest to find her son.

She closed her eyes and exhaled shakily. He must have been so scared. So lonely. She could feel it back there, what had happened to him.

That last wail, it did something, since her head was filled with memories. It was like all his grief and despair had been projected right into her min. 

She really didn't like any of what had happened to her son. And that he was. Maddie had no doubt. Actually she had lost that doubt the second Danny had looked at her back there. 

But there was undeniable truth to the things she saw during those last moments.

Her Portal had done this to him. It had been nothing other than his well intent, that made him step into the machine in an attempt to fix it. It cost him his life and the destruction of everything he had known. Himself included. And then there was a hundred years of grief and despair while his heart broke to pieces.

When she had found him, he had already been fractured beyond saving.

Maddie didn’t get time to release the tears that were welling up, because just as uncannily and unexpectedly as before, she was face to face with a ghost. 

Resignation made her merely frown at the purple cloaked spirit who shifted his appearance like they were made of sand. 

"You've found your son." The old man stated. 

"I have." She replied. 

He studied her intensely, and Maddie had the impression he was seeing more than just her face. 

He didn't seem very forthcoming, Maddie realized, he was somewhat distracted. 

“So I assume, you are the one who’s been pulling me along?” Maddie didn’t have it in herself to keep her hostility in check.

“you are correct.” The ghost replied almost sagely. 

“Who are you? What’s the purpose of this?” she demanded.

The ghost turned away from her, and stared at who knew what. Was he senile? After a moment too long, he began his introduction.

“I am Clockwork. I am Chronos. I am The Ancient of Time…. some even call me Time itself. I have many names, but I am not known to many mortals. Yet still I felt the need to talk to you, Maddeline Fenton. You were a necessary exception.” Maddie already knew this conversation was going to be miserable. She just wanted to have a good cry and go back to her family. She wanted to hug Danny while he was alive and happy. She did not want to deal with this ghost. Even her scientific interest was not enough at this moment to push itself to the forefront of her priorities.

“You were the voice I heard back then? The one to send me to find and save Danny? The one to send me there, into the future?” she pressed when it seemed like the ghost was again just staring off into space.

“I was.”

Maddie was going to strangle him.

“So what now? I failed him. I couldn’t save him at all. Whatever I was meant to do back there, I didn’t and my son-” She couldn’t say it.

“You didn’t. Not yet. Not anymore.” Clockwork turned to her with sorrow.

“But you want me to? Right? I don’t know why someone akin to a god would be concerned with my family, but for some reason, you care about him and you want to save him, but you can’t do it yourself, you need me to do it.” He confirmed it with a sage nod.

 “So send me back!" Maddie pleaded. "Send me back to a time when it isn’t already too late, and I will make sure the portal won't ever find its completion. Let me prevent this. Even if I have to turn my back on science and everything my life stands for. Even if I have to tear everything I’ve built, down with my bare hands. If it means I can stop this future I would do anything.” 

And Maddie meant it. Her Portal was a scientific marvel and the pinnacle of her achievements to date. But if it killed her son and her family and everyone else in the neighborhood, then she wouldn't. It was as simple as that. Even if it hurt.

For a long time, Clockwork just watched her as she fought back her grief. This ghost, so powerful, and apparently yet so impotent, oddly enough, seemed to share her grief. His expression wasn’t an easy one to read, especially on someone who’s face kept shifting between ages. But Maddie could tell. 

“You cannot interfere with this. The portal needs to be. And so does he need to be as he will be. This cannot be changed.”

“You are telling me, what,... That this is his Fate? Some perverse Destiny that chains my son to an early death? How dare you call yourself a god.” Maddie spat.

“Let me show you something.” he said calmly even in the face of her disdain.

Without waiting for her reply, vivid visions erupted in her head. Maddie doubled over in pain. Her head was bursting, but what really made her scream into her balled up fist was the endless stream of-

.

.

.

When it was over Maddie was rendered breathless. 

“Is there really none?" She asked with growing hopelessness. "No future in which he will get to grow old?” she managed to whisper.

The after images of blood, broken bones and so so much sickness haunted her head. This time she was glad the ghost took so long to reply she struggled to gather herself. It had hurt, to get Danny’s death shown to her when he had broken apart in her arms. But what the ghost, Clockwork had done, was as if she had seen into an infinite amount of realities and in each one, Danny would die. Sometimes he wouldn’t make it out of infancy, sometimes it would be a sickness or an accident. Sometimes it was murder or catastrophe. No matter the cause, the effect was always the same.

“That is why you won’t let me go back to tear down my portal? Because it would not make a difference?”

“He will die. That is Fate.” said the God with regret in his voice. “But, you are misunderstanding the crucial part." 

Maddie looked at the ghost with weariness. "Danny will always die early. In every reality, no matter what measures are taken. Yet in the timeline you hail from, in which he steps into your Portal, he conquers and fools the very Destiny that has him bound. He died, yes, but just this once, he did the unimaginable-”

It suddenly clicked for her. All those deaths blinded her to what Clockwork was trying to get her to focus on.

“He lived.” Maddie concluded.

"He did."

“You.. you don’t need me to save him from the portal at all, then?”

“I do not.” 

Hope was a mean beast. But she welcomed it with open arms. Her mind reeled at the implications of an existence that would be torn between life and death. 

She had seen Danny. He had been a ghost, yes, but then he had turned back into a human. He had been alive. Even the short moment she had to embrace him, she could tell he had breath and a pulse. 

Suddenly though, she wasn’t sure if she should be as relieved as she was. That version of Danny had been miserable.

“So as long as he lives on after his death, he will be… safe?”

“Fate isn’t easily fought,” he stated.

Maddie considered this. “He still… died. In the Time you sent me to. Not just that, he lived in a wasteland for a century and suffered through every moment of it, I… I don’t want that for my son. This can’t be the timeline you want him to arrive at. Surely it’s not.” 

“Fate has a will of its own and will not let go of who it has burrowed it’s claws into. It is determined to drag Danny back by force. After he enters the path towards becoming fully liminal, he may be one step ahead of Fate, but its meddling will have already set off the chain of events that will cause him to break. His Heart, you see, which is his greatest strength, is also Fate’s final attempt to stop him.”  

The way the Ghost spoke of it, it almost seemed like Fate was its own entity. Standing here with Time itself, as he had called himself, it made sense that it would be. But then…

“I’ve asked you before, why you were so concerned with my son, but the way you speak, I would rather know why Fate seems to be so determined to interfere with him. What is…Fate so afraid of.”

The Ghost’s eyes glinted “Because if he isn’t stopped, Danny will be something beyond Fate's reach. That’s the loophole. Danny is effectively running a race to become an entity that will be above mere things like Fate. And Fate was never fond of having anyone oppose it.”

Maddie’s eyes widened “He’ll… He’ll be like you.”

The God of Time smiled gently, neither confirming or dismissing her.

She needed a minute to just sort her thoughts. Danny would… live. As long as he escaped fate and became something beyond a human or a ghost. But it was a race to find a path that would lead to that result before he died without the portal or despaired after the portal.

There were conditions he had to meet and Maddie wasn't a scientist for nothing. 

So she sorted it in her head:

1. Danny had to die in the portal.

2. He had to ascend in some way or form.

3. … and he had to do so without having his heart broken irreparably.

So her portal needed to turn on, but without causing the apocalypse. Her portal had to work. So all she needed…

“I see.” she sighed. Her smile was accompanied by tears of relief. “So this is what needs to be done. You know, you could have just said so.” She wiped at her eyes with something between a laugh and a sob.

“Your stubborn nature is a great strength, Maddeline,” Clockwork said warmly, “strong enough to rebel against Fate and Time. I know not one reality in which you would follow a plan, not forged by your own mind. You had to see for yourself, know for yourself and come to your own conclusion.”

Maddie wished he wasn't speaking the truth, but she was glad. They would save Danny.

“I never liked those things like Fate. But Time, I see, can be tolerable.” she admitted, “Although, do not be fooled, I intend to stay ahead of my Time. Who knows, maybe someday I will even show you something you couldn’t see coming.”

“I will be keeping my eye on you and your family." The god of time promised.

_________

Maddie woke up like she had for the last many years. Next to Jack and with her kids still sleeping just down the hall. She stretched languidly before picking up her phone and skimming her to-do list.

Today would be the day.

Maddie hummed along to Jack’s favorite playlist while they were down in the basement lab. She installed the final piece of titanium plating in her portal's insides with a triumphant cheer that Jack joined in from the outside where he ran a final check on the programming. 

Today they were writing history.

Before joining her husband outside to do the honors of plugging in the portal, she paused in front of the small console she had added to this version of the portal.

With a melancholic smile she pressed the “off” button.

Today they would be “failing” to turn on the portal.

She consoled her husband when the Portal stayed silent after plugging it in. “We'll have it up and running in due Time, Jack.”

Today their son would die.

Jack cried when they returned to the lab after their break, to a functioning portal.

Maddie did too.

Today their son would live.

Maddie stepped out on the roof of the ops center later that day for some fresh air. There was not a cloud in the sky and the dusk colored the wide expanse in front of her in a beautiful set of colors. She let herself breathe deeply. 

Today their son had defeated Fate and the future never looked brighter.

Water - from The Secret Portal Part One (Lexi POV)

“What can I say? I’m observant,” I said as the exhaust from the buses caused my eyes to water. “Ugh, I’ve never been picked up over here before. Why can’t your stepmom pick us up in the parent pick-up?”

Tower(ing) - from The Secret Portal Part One (Ash POV)

I groaned and blinked until my eyes focused. The blur of colors became a bunch of colorful trees towering above me. I pushed myself up to a seated position, groaning, and looked around—I’d never seen trees this color before and wondered if I should be taking notes.

Broken - from The Secret Portal Part One (Akash POV)

A small groan came from behind Gwen as Robbie regained consciousness. His glasses were askew, but not broken. He held his head. “Wh— what the hell was that?”

History - from The Secret Portal Part One

Although chronokinetics were rare, they were the most powerful Alii. Sure there were dimensiokinesis and energy conversion, but there was not enough documented information on a chrono's powers. Not only because they were rare, but too dangerous to test. The best theorists speculated traveling to the future was impossible, as it would take the chrono out of the past, disrupting history’s natural flow. On the other hand, if a chrono could travel back into the past, they could theoretically cause a paradox that unraveled their plane of reality.

Light - from The Secret Portal Part One (Gwen POV)

“Finally,” he said as Wade leapt over the barricade and went to Parker’s side. “Yo, it’s been years and you finally give it your all.” “That wasn't my all,” Wade said, holding his palm over Parker’s face. A white light glowed around his hand. “I’ve tackled people much bigger than your string-bean self to the ground.” “Yeah, but they were wearing football gear.” “Stop talking,” Wade instructed. “You’re gonna mess up the healing.

Need - from The Secret Portal Part One (Robbie POV)

I tapped Akash’s desk and whispered, “We need to watch all the Winnie the Pooh movies.” “I’d love to know how your brain got to that topic. Though I agree.”

Pressure - from The Secret Portal Part One (Ash POV)

Panic built in my chest, almost tighter than the vines. I felt my eyes and sinuses heat up under the pressure—physical and otherwise.

Time - from The Secret Portal Part One (Maddie POV)

“Ash said her stepmom would be here,” said Rose, peeking around the corner to the tennis court, “but I don’t see her car.” “Well, maybe they had to stay after class,” Noelle said. “Or Mary’s stuck in traffic. This is nothing to worry about, Maddie. My mom’s late all the time.”

Crack - from The Secret Portal Part One (Gwen POV)

“Hold on, Robbie!” said a large girl, who strained until the diamond guy’s arm slammed into the table. I winced as I heard it crack under the force. “Haha! I win!” The diamond disappeared, and I realized he was an ordinary guy—about my age but a little taller than Robbie. Both stood and walked over to us.

Creak(ed) - from The Secret Portal Part Two (Robbie POV)

“Akash?” I said, tapping on the door quietly. No response came, so I creaked it open. Akash lay on the bed, but awake, staring up at the ceiling. I let myself in, closing the door behind me. I leaned against it, waiting in the silence until I could think of something to say that wasn't a generic apology or query as to whether or not he was “okay.” Neither of those seemed appropriate at the moment.

Crunch(ed)- from The Secret Portal Part One (Lexi POV)

I looked down to see if there were any imprints where she may have stepped. Most of the ground appeared untouched, but my eyes rested on a patch of flattened red ferns a few yards away. I ran toward them, then kept looking at the forest floor. The colorful leaves covering the ground appeared crunched, like someone had staggered through them shortly before I arrived. I followed the path they appeared to make.

Crave(ing) - from School of the Legends Year One

“Why don’t you get some rest?” Jill suggested. “I’m fine?” “Jack, you look exhausted. And cold.” “Well, I was playing with ice all day.” “Well, you look scarlet. Your cheeks and nose are all rosy.” Jack lifted his hand to his nose--she was right; it was cold. “Y’know, I’m not tired, although I am cold.” He stood. “I’m just craving my bed--this has nothing to do with you.”

Click(ing) - from The Secret Portal Part One (Robbie POV)

I stopped in my tracks and turned to my right. Jason Sturges stood down the hall, clicking his stupid sticks against the lockers. A rush of fury overtook me as I remembered this morning. I didn’t know what I was doing until I was right beside Jason, punching him in the face.

for adoration grow - tobiizu unconventional hanahaki au - 236/?

He'd thought it was bad before. 

Tobirama's body was wracked with violent spasms, pain tearing up his throat and lungs as he coughed up red amaryllis. It never seemed to end, one fit coming right on the tail of another so he could barely breathe, his lungs cinched up tight and his airways blocked. He was acutely aware of iron and ash and the bittersweet flower petal tastes across his tongue. The air was cooling rapidly, but the tatami was singed, and soaking wet with the suiton Tobirama had used to put the fire out. Tobirama gripped one of the wall beams, hands white-knuckled with cold and to brace against the pain.

Some info on the Guardians that only appear in the anime. All of these are provided by Kentaro Yabuki, posted on the official account of the anime.

1. Emilio Lowe - No.III of The Time Guardians

A person that approves the Eden project. He is meant to be Sven’s opponent (?).

His voice and speaking manner is also similar to Sven’s former partner, Lloyd.

The glasses he wears also gives an impression similar to those of Lloyd’s, though the design is not the same.

Unlike Lloyd, his look can turn into a very scary glare.

When he's not working as a Number, he lives a normal life in the city, probably having an ordinary job: a doctor at a small clinic, someone working at a flower shop…

He could have encountered Sven by chance while he was in his civilian cover and become a close acquaintance.

2. David Pepper - No.IX of The Time Guardians

The image on the left corner is his serious expression.

He has a bright and friendly personality, can easily befriend anyone.

His hairstyle will change depending on his mood. He can bundle them up or wear a headband. This is the basic design.

He is quite tall compared to a Number.

His voice is imagined to sound like that of Norio Wakamoto (laughs).

Some of the Numbers have a fake identity to blend in with the public. David seems to be a musician.

3. Anubis - No.VI of The Time Guardians

Note: his description is the most detailed, claimed by the official Twitter.

He is a biological product of Chronos’s science. His humanoid character is implanted by them and he is loyal to the organization. His intelligence is equal to that of a human so he can understand our language.

He has never met anyone among the Numbers other than Sephiria since he is a secret member.

His fur is completely black to match with the theme color of the Guardians.

His face looks like a real wolf (probably this explanation is given due to the fact that overall, Anubis still looks somewhat different from normal wolves). The original werewolf in the manga is perhaps an inspiration to the creation of Anubis.

Since he is one of a kind, his design must have a reasonable proportion between the length of the limbs and his huge size. The anatomy plays an important role in demonstrating the coolness of his appearance.

He has a calm and collected personality.

His Orichalcum weapon, Osiris, is a versatile arm moving according to his will. It is embedded in his body (the Orichalcum tail is likely to be connected to his spine, not just attached on his behind). The weapon can also be used as a pistol (can function like a firearm) with great precision.

The author thought that him speaking human language by himself would be an overdo. To facilitate communication, the organization has given him a device that can vocally convey his thoughts, or perhaps something that interpret his natural sounds into words. If he speak, he address himself as “I” (first person like people do usually, not by name or anything particular).

The color of his tattoo is red maybe.

4. Ash - Former No.X of The Time Guardians

Note: The Guardian doesn’t always know their comrades. There are some they have never met, some they don’t like. However, in the setting of the anime, he and Nizer appear to have been friends for a very long time, said the official Twitter.

He is Nizer’s best friend. Before being recruited into the Guardians, they used to be mercenaries fighting along side in some country.

He usually wears a headband.

5. Mason Odrosso - No.XII of The Time Guardians

Note: canonically, he is the only witness to the Taoist war that is still alive until this point.

Although he is old, his skin looks fairly good, not having so many wrinkles.

He looks better with a cane maybe.

The metal ornaments on the coat has been changed into fabric patterns in the anime.

The translation is done through apps and my efforts to grasp the ideas so don’t take this too seriously.

This escalated quickly, lmao. 🤣

An enormous, disgruntled dragon - the Drakaina - has invaded Cajar's Crimson Tower and refuses to leave. Drakaina has taken over the city's crowne and, though preferring to nest on the money rather than spend it, it's challenging for the city to pay its bills when a large reptile is using it for a mattress.

We are calling on you, brave heroes of Cajar, to be our knights in shining armor and help drive off the fearsome beast before it reduces Cajar to ashes and uses our riches as a nest to raise its young.

To fend off the fearsome Drakaina: head to the Crimson Tower in Cajar, enter the Chamber of Challenges, and fight the Raid Bosses head on. It costs large amounts of energy to engage in a battle with them. The tougher they are, the more energy it takes, but… with great risks come great rewards! Page's, Squire's, and Knight's Tokens can be found upon defeating the Drakaina, to be exchanged for lootboxes at the Artificer's Exchange in Cajar.

Limited-time costumes, weapons, and armor are up for grabs inside these lootboxes, as well as special goodies (costume AND pet) available in the Chrono Den!

The hero to collect the most Dragon Claws will receive the most heartfelt appreciation from the Crimson Council - once they are freed from the fear of living with a fire-breathing dragon, of course.

Working together, we can reclaim the heart of our great city, and the mightiest of warriors will be rewarded handsomely, so put on your Knight gown and let's take a stab at it!

So the FFXV Au i created follows a timeline that (originally) involved only fusing the concepts of 12 and 15 together to form a somewhat coherent plotline for me to play in with my characters,

Buuuut, as i continued to brainstorm and play other games from the franchise it expanded to include concepts from 7 (Midgar, the SOLDIER program ect) and a sprinkle of Chrono Cross in terms of hidden enemies and bosses.

Below is the timeline i came up for it when it included only 12 and 15 and ill add on the additional content that was brought on by 7 and Chrono Cross' inclusion later on when i detangle it from my notes

Follows a timeline where Ashe fails to destroy the Occurian threat. As a result their influence continues well into the age of Eos. As their power grew so did their resentment of those they commanded. As a result the Espers rise up once again to wrestle power away from their former masters.

Though she had failed initially, Ashe continued her pursuit well past the ending of FF XII, and before her passing she had managed to find a way to free the Espers from their limiting bonds [I.e their Glyphs].

Revitalized by their freedom, the Espers began their war anew, taking advantage of the now weakened Occurian. The furious war raged above the world of Ivalice. Changing the land as their battle wounded the Earth. Victory was all but granted in favor of the Espers but not without great personal cost. Many Espers had fallen to the power of the Occurian, leaving only seven standing [with the fallen five reincarnated as Kings by Ultima for their service.]

Ultima, proud of her victory that she had long sought, looked over the realm of man and brought about it’s destruction, eager to take the creations of the Occurain and reshape them to fit her desires, cleansing it of the Occurians' presence.

The action proved to be too great a toll on her already weakened body, the purge she had created completely destroying her physical form. However, her spirit burning brighter than any known star, coalesced into a great crystal, shattering into pieces and scattering to parts unknown, with the largest of them being found and held aloft in the unyielding hold of the great Astral named Titan. [See notes about it’s true name and how to form a covenant with it]

Though her body was destroyed, the great power of her magicks remained ever powerful, and as a parting gift she granted the remaining Espers one final boon, allowing them to evolve their physical forms into greater and more powerful vessels. Mourning their Queen’s death, the Espers swore to protect those who remained after her cleansing, overseeing them as the Astrals of Eos.

As these events unfurled, the world below them slowly recovered, the original party; Ashe, Vaan, Baasch, Balthier, and Fran, granted immunity from Ultima’s actions and filled with grief at what they had brought about, sought to assist the survivors in rebuilding the world they had helped to destroy, cursing the gods for their unjust actions.

Time passed, as it always does, and with it the passing of the original party. Before their demise the Astrals, led by a freshly formed Bahamut [Zodiark’s new form; possessing even greater and more terrible power now that it was freed from it’s bonds placed upon it by the Occcurian] approached Ashe in the hopes of granting her clairvoyance with them. It posited that this gift would allow her to communicate with them whenever she pleased, granting her a means to access untold amounts of power.

She could rebuild her kingdom as she saw fit, better than her previous one could ever hope to be.

Ashe turned down their “gift” with venom in her words, announcing her disdain for their presence and rightfully so, for who could ever think to side with the very creatures who had a hand in creating this dismal world. As a result the former Queen passed away in obscurity. The same fate befell the others, and soon only their progeny remained; offspring that slowly came to forget the misdeeds of the gods and their cruelty.

Bahamut continued it’s search for a proper puppet to put it’s plan into action, eager to pass it’s “gifts” in order to fully purge the world of the Occurian presence. Despite its abhorrence to the creatures that infested this planet, Bahamut could see their potential in the Occurians extinction, whos presence had evolved into a new threat.

A disease known as the “Starscourge” by the remaining populace was growing in the shadows of the world. Though the survivors of Ultima’s purge attributed it to a kind of parasite, the Espers [now called Astrals] knew of the diseases’ true origins: reduced to ash by Ultima’s final final attack, the Starscourge was the hatred of the Occurian’s given physical form; a corrupting miasma that mutated any organic matter it touched and could blot out the sun had it had the chance to grow unchecked.

Bahamut continued it’s self-inflicted task of finding a vessel that would be useful in stopping this encroaching plague, and after many failed attempts did finally manage to persuade Athilda, Ashe’s great-great-granddaughter to take up it’s offer.

Althida, desperate to create order in a still rampant world, took the ability to converse with the Gods and with their guidance sought out a suitable protector of Ultimas final resting place.

Update 04/09/2023

What's going on nowadays, hope you all are good and having wonderfull lifes, always enjoy it fully and you never unhappy.

Completed:

Dying Light

A game that mixes parkour with Surival/Horror, it's a good concept and the story also make the game worthwhile. The game itself might be chalenging at times but with a little bit of practice you will get trough the game fine and resource gathering is also wonderfull. It's more like a walking dead episode as there's also bandits walking around and the DLC really gives you closure and makes it a multichoice where you can repla it :).

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood

Another good game in the franchise and the second story of elizio (this is one of the skipped before playing AC3) now i know a little bit more what happen between AC2 and AC3) think i still need to play the last in this trilogy to get it completly. The game itself continues where Elizio left off in he's home that then got attacked wich was a bad move from then as then all focus goe to them and believe me they won't make the end :).

Quake

This game was in my backlog a long time already as this is the remade from steam and not the original from the past. It's a good shoot'em up game with not allot of story wise wich was the most games from that time, but in all still a good reliever.

Wolfenstein: The New Order

This game really surprised me as i thought wolfenstein is like the ones before but it isn't actually. It has a actually story (not a bad one either) and it's replayable as there are some choices to make in the game itself, oh and for the ones who likes the original you can have a nightmare and there you can play the original if you want. Was a really nice change in the game and one in the positive ones.

Replays:

At the end i chose Wolfenstein: The New Order just story wise it was just a little beter. For now this is it for this month and i see you in next update. One more thing i completed the Let's Play of Five Guardians of david so look forward to my next Let's Play.
