All heroes fates are intertwined


For days Cloudex went out and back for recon and for a walk. Eventually as Philia waited while watching the misty scenery, snow finally fell. Winter has arrived.

She knew very well nations and clans are currently fighting over Cloudex, and that she is a lead on him. In other words, she is also wanted.

It brought her back to years before, when another war broke out, and another before that as well.

15 years ago

In the blazing fire, amongst the smoke, Haikyo is burning. Spriggans fled and fought their way out as the Alfs came down. For many, it is their first sight on the Legendary fairies. Their wings were white and shining silver. The army had hexagonal wings, while some, the alphas, has avian ones that were like digitalized. But they did not come down for peace. They were looking for someone.

"I swear, I don't know anything! Gah!" The Spriggan pleaded for his life before a sword went through his torso. He bursted into a Remaining Light, which was then put out by a stomp from a Alf solider. The solider looked to his left and walked to a little girl, whose hair was auburn and gold. Crying and knelt, she looked up when the shadow of the solider casted on her. His sword raised, and her eyes widen, when a katana suddenly plunged through the Alf's back, and the solider fell to his knees and met the same fate of the Spriggan that he killed. Through the flames, the girl saw a man clad in white. He had a pair of wings that was nothing like a fairy's. It was huge, and on it were mysterious blue markings that she has never seen. His left hand was on fire with blue flames in the shape of a claw. The man's face was covered by his own shadows, but his blue eyes shown through the dark clearly. He looked down, and knelt before the crying girl. At that instant he drew his sword again, and held it above his head-

And a brick fell from the burning building, onto the blade, and cut in half before it even hit the girl.

He sheathed his katana, and picked the girl up. For the first time, she felt a warmth that would made her never forget the scene. She leaned on the man's shoulder, wrapped her arms around the man as they walked out of the burning capital.

After that, the girl reunited with her family outside of Haikyo, whilst the white man vanished into the darkness. This girl was Philia.

This was the War of the Alf. One of the battles that went down in history and in the girl's mind was the Battle of Haikyo, where the Alfs invaded and left thousands dead. Overnight however, none of the soliders returned to the Yggdrasil. They disappeared into thin air. They say the one who they were searching was an Alf Renegade. But no one knew for sure. This was also the battle which Jennifer decided to make Haikyo impenetrable, by all means.

5 years later

Another war broke out again. Seven renegades fought the nine nations as they stood their ground. The main cause was that they had info no other clans had. The hunt for the renegades began as their info was not only about the World Tree, but also Alfheim's Ten Holy Treasures. One of which was the Eve Rowan Tree, as Philia remembered.

The Ten Holy Treasures were weapons that have immense power and gives it's wielder the power to climb the World Tree, legend has it. It was one of the reasons the nations fought over it and against one and another.

As for the seven renegades, they were regarded as the strongest fairies in the whole Alfheim. They were thought to be the ones who could climb the World Tree if they worked together. But that did not happen.

Their names were unknown, but they had their own ethphiets.

There was the Red Phoenix, Yellow Eagle, Blue Jay, Green Falcon, Grey Starling, Black Swan, and White Peacock. Their names were after how they fought and what they wear.

But to Philia, White Peacock would be her idol. She was certain the one who saved her back when Haikyo was burning was exactly the White Peacock. While people had rumors they were evil and ruthless killers. Philia thought the opposite. She believed that they had a reason for fighting against the nations.

Philia had a crazy idea. She went to the treasure room to confirm it for sure. The katana. She opened the door and closed it behind her. The sword leans against the wall, waiting for her. The hilt was in a white colour while the sheath in blue. She edged towards it slowly and grabbed it with both of her hands. It was heavy and in an abnormal size. She took hold of the hilt, and unsheathed the sword slightly, and out came a normal katana blade that doesn't look anything special, except that it's back edge is wide and have a v-shape canal running down it's back.

"Ho-o maru." Cloudex's voice appeared behind Philia. "One of the Holy Treasures."

"Cloudex…" Philia asked, "How old are you again?"

"That's a nonsensical question to us Alfs," he replied, looking out to the misty window, "We are immortal, but not undead."

"That means…" Philia muttered, "You're the White Peacock."

"Sorry?"

"White Peacock! One of the Seven Renegades five years ago! And the one who saved me!"

Cloudex looked up to the ceiling and pondered, "Now I kind of get what you were saying. I did save a girl like, just fifteen years ago. Time passed quick, huh?"

"And this sword is the katana you used to save me."

"No. That katana is now the Gale Dragon." Cloudex shrugged, "I asked Tom to reforge it."

Philia put the sword down and looked at him directly.

"Cloudex. Thank you. For saving my life."

"Philia…"

"You were my idol, you know?"

"Someone's approaching."

From afar, a flute whistled.


Just as the rift closed, another battle begins
