/Because seeing dreams crash and burn isn't already fun within itself, I wanted to get back to writing some fics. Not sure if it'll be any good, but... oh well!
Funny how most of these Randall related batches are the equivalent of filler. More to come!

El Gaia, a land wrought with political turmoil and war. At first, the haven for the remaining humans who had managed to escape the Gods wrath, but now, nothing more than disputed territory.
The heroes of the Great Escape were revered as royalty, the citizens even going as far as crowning the man, king. He refused their offer, instead, becoming an adventurer who roamed the land and helped build cities, and mine for precious ores to further their advancements. In time, he would grow to father two children. A son, who went by the name Rouche, and a daughter, Limera.
The girl grew up thinking that her parents were great heroes. They eradicated demonic threats wherever they would sprout up. As time passed on, she grew unhappy about the state of the world. Selfish men and women only fought for wealth and power, without so much as a care for the people. Confronting her parents about it, they chose to remain out of the affair.
Fed up with their lack of concern, she ran away to join the provisional army. Luckily, her brother followed her, but not before hearing a heartfelt goodbye from his mother, followed by the promise that they would come visit her sometime.
Due to her status, she was placed in a special corps, the "Randall Guard" alongside her brother. She was unhappy with the treatment she received, and went out of her way to slay a demon all by herself. It was a one sided fight, thanks to her powerful magic. Once she returned, what awaited her was a scolding from her brother.
At the time, her brother was declared the first Commander of the guard. It was only thanks to his name that he won that title, but he didn't care. What the others didn't know was that he was a natural born leader, just like his father, before him.
Somewhere down the line, a powerful demon lord invaded the city of Randall. Thanks to his wit, he was able to get the citizens out of harm's way; as well as protect each and everyone of his comrades. After their victory, he strengthened the Guard, and laid the foundations for the Empire itself.
He was commemorated as a hero equal, or even greater than his own father.
Not to say that Limera herself was overshadowed by her older sibling. She single handedly defeated a murderer, who went about daily killing.
Time loses all sense in El Gaia. Wars break out, kingdoms rise and fall. Plagues, famines, kidnappings, but somewhere down the line, long after the events of the original Randall Guard, a man named Agress rose to power. He, a descendant of the heroes who led the people to El Gaia, was tired of the suffering caused by the government. Sparking the war for unification.
His ideals and charm caused many to join his side. The commander of the Randall Guard at the time, Zalts, a young general, Gyras, leader of the volunteer army, Alessa, her trusted 2nd in command, Licht, and Agress's advisor, Johan.
With the help of the volunteer army and the Randall Guard, he was able to amass numerous victories, but not without the sacrifice of the trusted Randall Guard commander.
Establishing the Randall Empire, he then became the first Emperor. Shortly after, he fell out of favor with the volunteer army. The people grew untrustworthy of him, and he couldn't even manage the administration he had created.
What's now left is but a shamble of the dream he once had. This is where our story begins.
