Eden Unbound
Book II of the Diadem Trilogy
Part of the Tranceprophecy Saga
Author's Note:
Eden Unbound is the second novel in the three part epic series, the Diadem Trilogy. As post game fiction, it simply begins at the point the game ends. Therefore, one must be fairly familiar with the ff8 storyline. However, as a sequel to PeRFecT, it is also important that one is aware of that particular plot. I have included an APPENDIX at the end of PeRFecT. To access this, simply click on that story and choose the very final chapter. Even readers of PeRFecT might find it to their advantage to refresh their memory on various happenings in the story- I know that, personally, there are times in epics when I long for some sort of glossary or appendix just so I can remember all of the names or terms the author uses . Use this particular section that way, if you like. But, if you haven't read PeRFecT, there are Spoilers. Just a warning. I hope that people will not be deterred from this work by PeRFecT's magnitude, though I also hope that if readers do enjoy this story they will take a peek at the first part of this series.
This novel will most likely be censored on ffnet due to it's extremely graphic and disturbing nature- while PeRFecT is the more lighthearted side of the ff8 world, Eden Unbound will pick up on the dark side, as it arises from the end of the game, as opposed to leading into it. Eden will explore all of the dark sides of humanity and, in saying that, I hope readers will be mature enough to understand their own acceptance-parameters. If there are any other questions-whether they be concerned with the previous warning or subject matter or anything else- feel free to email me.
The only alteration from the ff8 storyline is this- The group never found Eden. That's all.
Also, just to open this up, I've been asked if I was going to do a version of the game that follows the trilogy guidelines. To this question, I will answer the following- No. If I were to do this, even in small scale, it would take me far too long. I already have three and a half more works to complete the arc, as well as my unfinished novel that is due to my publisher, um, three months ago. Also, I know that I would get severely bored rewriting the story. However- If there is another author who would like undertake this task, I would more than welcome the help. Everything pertinent is used in Irvine's Journal, so, it wouldn't be that hard. If there are any authors interested in this, please email me at briarevesheurmann @yahoo.com.
Thank you-all of you-for your interest.
