This is Pen Trumps Sword giving a little update on the status of things. My other story, The Return of the King, will not be updated for at least a month due to me losing all the data for all my stories. The good news is that my computer just got back from the shop. However, as I went so long without an update my writing skills are a bit rusty. This story will, hopefully, get me back up to speed. I look forward to input on this story and hope that you'll point out my mistakes and ways I can improve on them. Anonymous reviews are welcome.
Disclaimer: I do not own Code Geass or Wheel of Time in the past, present, or future. Therefore, even if time were subject to relativity it would have no bearing on this fact.
Update: This story has been rewritten from scratch because the previous version was not up to par. Please review and give me suggestions. I thank you in advance.
Prologue- Scrapbook of Memories
The Wheel of Time turns, and ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. The wheel is the driving point of lives. Yet, for all its greatness, the wheel is not constant. There are many variations within the wheel. There are infinite possibilities; one for every choice. For every choice there is a world. Yet, for all the variation, there seems to be but one true world. Seemingly endless choices branch out from it, but none have any direct bearing on it. The people, the land, even life on these alternate worlds are not constant. A single battle which was won in one might have been lost in another, a kingdom overrun, or perhaps an entirely different time. Yes, even time is subject to change. There are vague mentions of ways to bridge these gaps in manuscripts dating as far back as the Age of Legends using devices called gates or portal stones, but such knowledge has long been lost to man. Perhaps man could travel to the Age of Legends using one such device,. Perhaps man could travel to the Age of Legends using one such device, a world of perpetual warfare, or even one of peace- but that is pure conjecture. I digress, little is known about gates save by the Aes Sedai who are almost as loath to part with a secret as they are compelled to stretch truth. Perhaps research will progress on this topic once the witches of Tar Valon see the Light.
-Conjecture of Possibilities by Ceil Falconeyes, secretary to his majesty Arthur Hawkwing
Who was Lelouch Vi Brittania? Legend holds that he was a mad tyrant, but also that he was the first to conquer the world. What made this possible? Was it his charisma? His mind? His strength? His pedigree? A widely accepted hypothesis states that he was a servant of the Dark One. This is further backed by the stories of his atrocities. However, most of this is conjecture based off of faded and obscure legends and texts. For all these stories one fact remains certain; his end resulted in the beginning of the Age of Legends.

This is Milly Ashford coming to you live with breaking news; Zero, the savior of the world, has vanished. Numerous attempts to locate him have resulted in nothing. We can only conclude that he has voluntarily gone into seclusion as the Lancelot is gone as well. Empress Nunnally, when asked to comment, stated that Zero thought the world no longer needed the persona of Zero. An in depth investigation into the allegations of foul play is underway. The ramifications of this have yet to be determined.

Demon Emperor Lelouch has been laid to rest beside the Shinkiro on the Damocles. In three days the Damocles will begin its journey into the sun, providing a fitting grave to that monster. Zero commented that Lelouch was laid to rest with the Shinkiro because he has no use for a knightmare with the legacy of being stolen and used by a demon. He has adopted the reconstructed Lancelot, a higher end frame, as his official knightmare. The UFN has declared that members of Lelouch's retinue are to be shown a surprising degree of leniency due to evidence that Lelouch was coercing the majority of them into their actions. In other news a new calendar system used to commemorate the end of tyranny is set to coincide with the end of 2019A.T.B. (Ascension Throne Britannia) labeled A.D. (After Death). It is our sincere hope that this new era will be one of peace and brotherhood.
