Hello Everyone! Another chappie is up! Yeah, I honestly have been lagging behind because of school work. So, I apologize for all the late updates that have been going. I hope you'll stick with this story though. This update is a little shorter than what I usually write, but it's because I wanted separate the amount of "meat" from this arc-there's simply too much happening, especially with the additions I have put in!
Anyways, in this chapter, with the arrival of Yue and Syaoran, Sakura and the gang confront the Fog Troupe. As Alibaba struggles to fulfill his duty as the prince of Balbadd, Sakura has her own battles when an unknown force targets her and her unborn children! And in an accident, Tomoyo's secret is revealed?!

P.S. Try listening to MIIA's song Dynasty when you're reading the beginning and ending. The lyrics really reflect the flashbacks and the statements between the bar breaks.
Enjoy!
A black void. It was always the black void. The place where she was born, and the place where she would come after death. But, a god should be immortal, no? Should they not live forever? The woman laughed bitterly, recalling how her friends worshiped their deity, their god, their "Father". Oh, if they only knew the truth. The truth that she, the magician with honey brown hair and emerald colored eyes, was their god. What would they think of their deity now?
She sighed, drifting aimlessly in the quiet darkness.
How many worlds, universes even, did she create and how many of her beloved guardians, her children, did she birth for the sole purpose of protecting said creations? How many died and were reborn as regular beings, completely unaware of their past lives? All but one child. Her eldest daughter.
She was always with the woman, acting as her messenger for whatever news happened in the worlds, and her emotional support. The brunette loved her dearly, and was always with her. The woman even planned to bring her into Alma Torran, as her newborn baby.
She never got to when Al Thamen destroyed the world and she sacrificed herself and with another to protect the denizens. And who did she have to blame? Now but herself, because she should have seen this disastrous future. She didn't regret saving her people, nor giving the lost souls another chance at life.
The Goddess was only sad that her daughter would be unable to be with her this time.
The woman felt her spirit getting pulled, a indication that she would be in a mortal body soon. AS she closed her eyes for the process, a familiar voice called out to her.
"...Mother..." She whispered. The woman snapped opened her eyes and looked towards a young girl.
"My angel..." The Goddess called out. The young girl rushed to her mother.
"Mother, don't go. Don't leave me alone again..." The child begged. The Goddess's vision began to blur as she grasped her daughter's hand, tears threatening to spill out.
"My child, you know I must. Al Thamen needs to be stopped, and for that to happen I must be reborn." She answered sadly. "Dearest, please, wait for me again. I will make sure you are born in a new body, without a doubt." Then, the woman could feel herself fade.
And she let go.
"Mama! Mama, I promise!" The girl called out as the woman began to disappear. "I'll watch over everything! I'll make sure Al Thamen, David, and everything else that you died fighting against...I'll stop them! Then, when I'm born again, we'll be together again!" The Goddess smiled at her daughter.
"Yes..." She whispered. "Goodbye for now..."
"My darling Evelyn..."
Hey, did you hear? About the story of the Goddess...?
Sakura was shocked. There, as they descended, were Yue and Syaoran. How long had it been since she last saw Syaoran? And for more Yue? No doubt much longer. When Yue slowly descended to the ground and let Syaoran go, Sakura reached out towards them, as though they were mirages.
"S-Syaoran? Y-Yue?" she whispered out, tears beginning to blur her vision. "Is that really you?" Syaoran smiled as he went over and took Sakura's hand with a soft tenderness.
"Yes, it's really Yue and me." He said softly. Then, the brunette looked at his surroundings. He noticed Kero, Morgiana, Aladdin, and Alibaba, as well as some new faces. His look hardened towards the Phantom Fog Troupe.
"...Stay with the others, Sakura." Syaoran said. Sakura stared at him.
"Syaoran?" She asked. Syaoran gave a smile that made Sakura's heart flutter, and a certain man's eyes to narrow at their interaction. "Don't worry, I'll be fine." Nodding, Sakura broke away from Syaoran and the Chinese squarely faced his adversaries. Kassim scoffed at Syaoran.
"Oh? Another conceited person who believes he can be us?" He said with a sneer. Syaoran said nothing, but stretched his arm out instead. The pentagram of the eight pointed star on his bracelet began to glow brightly, and Syaoran smirked.
"No, not believe. I know." The brunette corrected as he lifted his bracelet up, the star glowing even brighter now. Ja'far's eyes widened.
"Is that-?!" He started. Sinbad nodded solemnly.
"A Djinn." He finished. Syaoran chanted his Djinn's summon.
Djinn of Bravery and Honor, Guardian of the Raging Fire that resides in me. Come forth with thy Household Vessel and thy will! I call upon thee, Nuria! Grant me thy will and power and make me into the great Phoenix Guardian that protected thy Child of Fire! NOW COME FORTH!
Flames began to swirl around Syaoran before completely engulfing him. The light and heat from the flames were so intense that many averted their eyes. Yue and Kero used their wing to cover their eyes while Alibaba covered Sakura, with Morgiana squinting as she shielded Aladdin's eyes. Even Ja'far and Masrur looked away, but Sinbad looked directly at the flames, his golden eyes only half closed.
"...So, it is you, Alexander." Sinbad murmured. When the flames died away and everyone could look again, Syaoran had changed. Although his Djinn Equip remained largely the same from the first time he summoned it, his wings were still on fire. The fire briefly morphed into a smirking woman before his wings resumed its original appearance. Sakura awed at him
"Syaoran, you can Djinn Equip too?!" She exclaimed. Kero looked thoughtful.
"The brat has a Djiin too, so it would make sense if you summon that power as well." He contemplated. Syaoran looked back.
"I'm not done yet." He answered as he raised his arm into the air. With a glow, his bracelet lifted itself into the air and changed into his sword. Grabbing it, Syaoran faced the Phantom Fog Troupe.
"Give up yet?" He said. Growling, Kassim summoned his sword's magic. Black fog began to surround Syaoran. Still smirking, eyes glowed slightly as he yelled, his sword glowing as flames shot forth. They pierced the black fog until it was no more. Alibaba awed at his power.
"So this the the true power of the Djinns." Alibaba whispered. Morgiana stared at Syaoran.
"...Syaoran-kun." She murmured. Syaoran sighed as the sword stopped glowing and slowly dropped to the ground. He eyed the Phantom Fog Troupe with a slightly condescending look.
"To be honest I could have just fought you without the Djinn Equip." Syaoran admitted. "But, it's been awhile since I last used it. Might as well have fun, right?" At that, Alibaba looked shocked.
"Eh?! You've summoned that kind of power before?!" He shouted. Syaoran shrugged.
"Yeah. Me and Tomoyo summoned them months ago." He answered. "By the way, Tomoyo's fine. She's somewhere in this kingdom as well, so don't worry." A heavy feeling lifted from Sakura as she now knew that her other friend was safe. But, there was a more dire situation at hand. Sakura tried to persuade the Fog Troupe again.
"Please, listen!" She begged. "Stop this rebellion! It won't just be the nobles that will suffer-so will all of you." Sakura then turned to Alibaba. "Alibaba, please. You know these people, so help me convince that this isn't the way." At that, Kassim laughed.
"Ha! As if he'll listen to you! He's our general, our leader that will fight against this corruption! He won't betray us!" The man said. Alibaba looked conflicted. How could he decide? His friends? His people? What was the right choice. After a long silence, Alibaba quietly walked over to the Phantom Fog Troupe. Sakura stared at him.
"Alibaba...?" She whispered. Kassim smirked.
"I told you!" He sneered. The blonde prince gave a mournful expression.
"I-I'm so sorry Sakura." He apologized. "But, I gave my word to this group. I would stand by them no matter what happened." Sakura felt her heart break into two. A tear fell down her cheek. When the teardrop dropped to the ground, everything happened in an instant. Kassim barked out an order and the Phantom Fog Troupe charged at her. However, that was a mistake. Yue notched a magical in his bow and launched it at them, knocking those in its path down. Syaoran grabbed Sakura and pulled her behind him just as Ja'far and Masrur took out the men around them. Morgiana fought as well, leaving Kero to watch over Aladdin. Sinbad rushed towards Sakura. Although annoyance flared when he noticed how tight Syaoran held Sakura, the Sindrian king focused on his fiance's well being first.
"Sakura!" Sinbad called out. Sakura's emerald eyes, once bright, were lifeless as she kept murmuring to herself.
"Why...Why must this happen...? Why must I be betrayed again...?" She repeated over and over again. Sinbad frowned. What triggered her to become like this? Alibaba's decision to continue supporting the rebels? Then, if so, he had to do something about...
"Masrur! Ja'far!" Sinbad called to his generals. "Get me closer to Alibaba and that man!" Hearing their king's orders, the two Sindrian generals parted a path for Sinbad. Kassim, spotting Sinbad draw closer, readied his sword. Suddenly, an arrow flew at him. Kassim narrowly parried the attack when another came right at him, this time hitting its mark. The man screamed in pain as the arrow notched in his shoulder, giving Yue a small feeling a satisfaction for hurting his mistress.
"Kassim!" Alibaba cried out. Gritting his teeth, Kassim pulled the light arrow at and crushed it. Just then, the generals reached him and Alibaba. Masrur pinned Kassim from behind and Ja'far kept Alibaba in check with his blades. Once Sinbad got closer, he took out a sword he had as protection.
"...Now all I have to do is to capture you and my job will be done." Sinbad murmured as he pointed it to Alibaba. "Right, Alibaba the Wonder? Let's settle this, general vs. general. Or, are you just a coward who enjoys betraying those who had faith in you?" Alibaba, who had felt worried at first, was livid. He brought out the dagger that held the djinn Amon.
"Do you think I wanted this?!" He demanded. "I only wanted to protect my people, my family!" Then, he looked sorrowfully at Sakura and Syaoran, the latter giving him a harsh glare. A twinge of sympathy filled Sinbad's heart, but he quickly discarded it.
"You can't always have everything." Sinbad replied. "That's why...give me your conviction! Prove to me that you're ready to stand by your words." And with a roar, the two swordsmen clashed.
About how she gave up immortality and power to live among the humans...?
A race she herself created...?
It seemed that the battle was not only known at the hotel. Back in her room, Tomoyo was busy sewing small clothes for her future children when she felt a sudden sting in her heart. Grasping her chest to soothe her aching heart, Tomoyo step out onto the balcony and looked towards the direction Yue flew with Syaoran. The Japanese didn't know why, but she could feel something bad was happening, and it didn't have to do with the battle. Falan, who had fallen asleep on a chair in Tomoyo's room, woke up.
"...Tomoyo?" She called out. "What's the matter, Aru?" Tomoyo clenched her hands together.
"I don't know." Tomoyo answered. "And that scares me." Suddenly, a knock interrupted their conversation.
"Um, Kami?" Kougyoku called out from the other side of the door. "May I come in?"
"Yes." Tomoyo answered and the pink haired princess opened the door and walked in. Although initially shocked at seeing Falan, Kougyoku quickly remembered why she was here.
"Kami, I know it's late, but I forgot to tell you something." Kougyku explained. "When it was finalized that you were coming to Balbadd, Brother En asked me to give you this." Then, the princess handed Tomoyo a small mirror. Falan squinted her eyes at the mirror.
"Wait. Isn't that, like, a communicator of some sort? But, that should have been, like, still in its working phases, Aru." Falan commented. "Where did you, like, get something like this?" Kougyoku looked reluctant to answer. Tomoyo placed a hand on Kougyoku's shoulder.
"It's alright. She's trustworthy." Tomoyo said. Kougyoku looked at Tomoyo before sighing.
"Alright...It was something that you, Kami, used to work on before the...incident happened." Kougyoku explained. "It was all that we had left of you." Falan immediately looked guilty, but let the princess continue.
"When we realized that it was a communicator, Koumei continued to develop it until it was usable. Brother En wanted to use this to keep in contact with you if there was ever a time that you two would be apart for a long period of time." Kougyoku said. "I hope you'll talk to him soon, Kami." With a slight bow, Kougyoku retreated from the room. Tomoyo stared at the small device.
"...Kami created this?" Tomoyo whispered. "But, how? I thought this world had no technology...?" Falan looked thoughtful.
"Maybe it was, like, the will of your previous life." Falan said. Tomoyo looked towards her.
"Huh? My...previous life?" Tomoyo asked. "Are you talking about Sheba?" Falan flinched slightly.
"...Yes." She answered. "And that's all that I can say of the situation. Aini's will will not let me say anymore." Tomoyo, knowing that Falan would not lie to her, dropped the subject. Placing the mirror gently on the table next to her, Tomoyo placed on her abdomen, closing her eyes.
"May you grow strong, my children." Tomoyo whispered. "For me and your Fathers, though they will never know of your existence." Little did she know that when she placed the mirror down, Tomoyo had accidentally turned the device on, and her words were heard loud and clear.
The Goddess, creator of multiple universes and worlds, was now mortal.
Perhaps that was when everything went horribly wrong.
"Why? Why, Alibaba?" Sakura whispered in the black void, glowing. Right now, she was upset, and Sakura had no right to be.
"Alibaba would choose his family over us, I knew." Sakura murmured. "And I was prepared for this. Yet, why does my heart ache at this betrayal?" As she slowly drifted in the darkness, Sakura was unaware when black Rukh began to cover her. When she finally realized, it was too late. Sakura struggled to break free as the birds suffocated her. Then, a loud voice boomed in the darkness, one that sent shivers down Sakura's spine.
"Once I finally get rid of the Demigods, I will become a God!" It said. Sakura gasped when she realized that besides suffocating her, the glow around her began fading, and she could hear children crying out.
"N-No! Not my children!" Sakura screamed as she felt her succumbing to the evil. "Someone, please help!" Then, her prayer was heard. Three rays of light pierced the dark void and shined down on her, dispelling the Black Rukh. Though the Rukh was gone, Sakura felt weak. She reached her shaking hand up towards the light. Suddenly, another hand grabbed her own. Sakura's eyes widened when a familiar figure with long raven black hair appeared before her, one that she hadn't in awhile.
"Y-You're..." Sakura stuttered. Amethyst colored eyes looked at her.
"My original name was Mystral, though I go by Layla now." She answered. Behind her, another woman with cerulean blue hair and sapphire colored materialized, wielding two golden staves. In the other rays of light, more people materialized. A woman with white hair and brown eyes and a man with dark purple hair and purple colored eyes. As Sakura tried to recognize them all, a memory flickered in her mind.
"You are...the Guardians of Aini, aren't you?" Sakura asked weakly. The Albino haired woman nodded.
"Yes. I am Robin, though you gave me the name Gayle." The woman explained. "The man's name was originally Shadow, but ever since he split he calls himself Dark. And the woman standing behind Layla was originally called Ayako but calls herself Aki." The man, Dark, continued after Robin.
"We're here to fulfill our duties and protect you and the worlds you created." He said. Ayako, or Aki, smiled.
"So, rest easy now. We'll handle this intruder once your conscience returns." Aki reassured. Sakura looked at the Guardians before smiling.
"Then...I'll trust everything to you..." Sakura whispered before closing her eyes, disappearing before them. Layla stood up and took one of the staves Aki held before facing the black Rukh that began to gather.
"What are we waiting for? Let's do our job!." Layla said with a smirk.
Oh poor Goddess, you who have sacrificed your immortality and power to help your people, how did they repay you...?
With violence and bloodshed, and the death of your children...
Sakura snapped open her eyes and stood straight up. Panting, the brunette looked around while clutching her chest. Before she blacked out, Sakura recalled being on the rooftop with her friends and the Phantom Fog Troupe. Now, she was in some room, most likely in the hotel. Sakura could her voices whispering outside-Syaoran's and Morgiana's to be exact.
"I don't understand, why would Alibaba betray us?" Syaoran asked, his voice muffled slightly. "I mean, I should have known, but still..."
"I know that Alibaba had a good reason." Morgaiana reasoned. "If only you heard his story before..." Sakura bit hard on her lip, biting into it until she drew blood.
"Alibaba..." She whispered as she gently laid a hand on her abdomen. It was expected, for Alibaba to side with his friends in Balbadd. And yet...the pain was more she had expected, so much that Sakura wondered if this was connected to her past life. Speaking of past lives, Sakura shivered as she remembered the voice.
"I-It...sounded so terrifying..." Sakura murmured. "But...why does it also sound familiar...?" Suddenly, she grabbed her head.
"N-No! Please! Don't kill them!"
"Foolish woman. Do you really think you can defy me?"
"Gah!" "Stop it! I'll do anything! Just...Just don't hurt them anymore, please!"
"It was foolish of you to ever think you could live a normal life, especially with your powers...After all..."
"You can never escape me pet...I will always find you...and just to be sure you'll listen to me..."
"I will burn everything down."
Sakura screamed and scrambled out of her bed. Immediately, the door to her room slammed opened.
"Sakura! What's wrong?!" Syaoran called out as he entered the room first, Morgiana behind him. Sakura sobbed as she grabbed onto Syaoran.
"It's my fault!" Sakura screamed. "I killed everyone!" Syaoran was confused.
"Sakura? Do you mean the Phantom Fog Troupe? Don't worry, Sinbad and Alibaba are already negotiating terms-no one was injured." Sakura's body shook violently when she spoke again.
"N-No! Not them! The people of Al-" Suddenly, Sakura stopped talking.
"S-Sakura?" Morgiana hesitantly asked. Slowly the brunette closed her eyes and wiped away her tears.
"Sorry...it was nothing. I was in distressed with what happened so far." She responded rather monotonously. "If you leave me for a few moments, I'll be better." Syaoran frowned.
"I-I see." He replied. Syaoran helped her up. "Then, we'll leave you for a bit. When you collect yourself...come to Sinbad's room. He wanted to speak with you." With one last concerned look from Syaoran and Morgiana, the two of them left. When she was sure they had left, Sakura opened her eyes to reveal not emerald colored pupils, but blue and gold.
"I am so sorry...Mother." She whispered to no one in particular. "But, you cannot tell of Alma Torran's tragedies, at least not yet." Pink butterflies appeared around her as her body glowed.
"So...your memories of that time will be locked away once more, but rest assured, they will receive the justice they were denied so long ago." Sakura murmured. "For I am Evelyn, the first and last living daughter of the you, the Goddess Aini." Then, she closed her eyes again, and the butterflies disappeared. Sakura slowly opened her eyes and looked around groggily.
"H-Huh? What was I...?" Sakura questioned. Then, she snapped her fingers. "That's right! Syaoran told me Sinbad wanted to talk with me! Better go now." Then, she left.
But...One remained. A child born within the stars...
Who was she...?
Just as Tomoyo prepared to sleep in for the night, Falan suddenly gasped.
"What's wrong, Falan?" Tomoyo asked. The magician grasped her staff tightly as she walked onto the balcony. Looking around the city, she caught sight of a single pink butterfly before it disappeared.
"...So, her influence still exists." Falan murmured to herself. Tomoyo pursed her lips.
"Falan." She said again. "What happened?" The woman shook her head.
"Nothing, Aru." The magician answered. "Or, at least, nothing that I can reveal." Tomoyo frowned but did not press further. Suddenly, they saw something glowing.
"Is that...the mirror?" Tomoyo gasped as she reached for it. Just as her fingers touched it, a clamor of yells came rushing out. Falan and Tomoyo immediately covered their ears from the onslaught of the sound.
"Gods! This is, like, loud!" Falan all but had to shout. Wincing, Tomoyo tried to decipher what the yells were about through her covered ears.
"I will not let you take them away!" A voice shouted, sounding a lot like Hakuryuu.
"You're a fool if I let my future wife be taken by you, especially with my heir!" Another voice retorted, this one sounding like Kouen.
"YOUR CHILD?! Kami is obviously with mine!"
As the yells continuously got louder, a shrill scream pierced the air.
"ENOUGH!"
Suddenly, the voices quieted. Cautiously, Tomoyo and Falan uncovered their ears and looked into the mirror. There, they saw the Kou siblings. Hakuei, the voice who had screamed earlier, stood in the middle, obviously annoyed.
"Everyone, calm down!" Hakuei said. "If you haven't noticed, the mirror is on!" Immediately, all eyes were on the mirror. Tomoyo gave a weak wave.
"Uh...Hi?" Tomoyo answered. "W-What's with all the yelling?" Koumei cleared his throat and answered.
"Just...discussing something we heard earlier." Koumei replied. "Kami, you wouldn't happen to be with a child, are you?" Tomoyo widened her eyes and looked back at a perplexed Falan. Suddenly, the door to Tomoyo's room slammed opened.
"WHAT?! Kami's pregnant?!" Kougyoku squealed as she jumped in, followed by a shocked Ka Koubun. Tomoyo blanched. Oh, how embarrassed she was! Tomoyo, the daughter of a CEO, stuck in such a situation. Honestly, it was a surprised that Tomoyo hadn't lost her cool so far. Taking a deep breath, she attempted to address the situation.
"...Before I answer, I want a promise that no one will scream once they hear my answer, OK?" Tomoyo said. After everyone nodded (Falan rolled her eyes and covered her ears), Tomoyo finally revealed the secret.
"Yes, I am pregnant." She said, preparing for the onslaught of yells that would shatter her eardrums. To her surprise, and relief to her ears, the Kou royals took it rather well. Kougyoku covered her mouth as she pranced around the room, squealing quietly. Ka Koubun sighed as he buried his face in his sleeves. In the mirror, Hakuei had covered Hakuryuu's mouth with her hands, the woman quietly telling her brother something. Kouha and Koumei clapped their hands while Kouen looked rather pleased at the answer.
"So...When En-nii's baby coming?" Kouha asked. That's when hell broke loose, again.
"For the last time, Kami's child is mine!" Hakuryuu roared as he took Hakuei's hands of his face. Koumei looked thoughtful.
"Well, though I would really like to disagree, he's right." Koumei said. All the Kou siblings stared at him, with the exception of Hakuryuu who looked surprised.
"Ah...thanks for backing me up?" Hakuryuu thanked confusedly. Koumei rolled his eyes.
"I'm only saying this because it's possible. After all, it's not like Kouen was the only person who slept with Kami." Koumei explained. Tomoyo's and Hakuryuu's faces turned a bright red. Falan whistled quietly from the sideline, the group still unaware of her existence. Then, Falan made a motion to Tomoyo and left the room. Tomoyo sighed.
"There goes my moral support..." Tomoyo murmured. Then, she returned her attention back to the Kou siblings, preparing herself for the big reveal.
"Uh, actually, I'm having both Hakuryuu's and Kouen's children..." She said. For the first time in her life, Tomoyo saw all the Kou siblings with looks of utter shock on their faces.
"K-K-Kami..." Kougyoku stuttered. "D-Does that mean...?" Tomoyo blushed slightly.
"Yeah...I'm having twins. One belongs to Hakuryuu, the other is Kouen's." Ka Koubun made a small noise before he fainted onto the ground.
Evelyn, the first and last child of the Goddess. She who watched the worlds be created, and the worlds be destroyed.
She was to be rebirthed...but alas, she was denied.
Now, she wanders in the realms, aiding her mother and waiting for her chance to be reborn...
How much time had passed since she last saw her mother? Years, Centuries, Millennials...? Far too long for a mere mortal to count. The girl, now a grown woman, sighed as she watched yet another world get consumed by the darkness created from Al Thamen. How long must she wait, to watch the creations her mother adore be destroyed by the cult and their false god. The very god whose powers were stolen from her mother. With a groan of frustration, she waved her hand across the image. The woman turned away from the disappearing image, tears streaming down her face as blackness of the void slowly swallowed her.
"...Mama. I promised to stop them, to wait patiently until I could be reborn. But...it's been so long. So, so long..." she whimpered. "I have no one to be with in this void-not my twin brother, or any of my younger siblings. I even miss the Guardians, even though I never knew them for long..."
"So, please, come back." The woman cried. "I need you, Mama..." Suddenly, a light opened before her, and a voice spoke.
"Evelyn, Aini's first child born in the stars, heed my call. I am Clow Reed, a descendant of Aini." Sniffling, The woman looked towards the light to see a young man standing there.
"...Mama's descendant?" She asked. The man nodded.
"Yes. Evelyn, it is time for us to join forces. Together, we can stop Al Thamen and help your mother to becoming a Goddess again. Then, you will be reborn with the rest of your siblings." Evelyn stared at the man before wiping away her tears. Then, she stood up and reached for the man, her eyes burning with confidence.
"Then so be it. I, Evelyn of the Stars, will join with you." She answered. And the two beings grabbed each others hands.
With one last opportunity to help her mother, Evelyn joined Clow Reed and rallied the Goddess's Guardians.
Now, the only question is...
Will you remember in time, Mama?
Reunited with at some of her friends, Sakura must now face the crisis at hand-Balbadd and the corruption that led to the rise of the Phantom Fog Troupe. And how will Tomoyo deal with the Kou Royalties now that her secret is revealed...? Until Next Time...
Now, onto the reviews!
12345678910:Thanks!
AirI'am: There's a lot of reviews, but I'll try to answer the main points. Yes, I want to play with the feels! That's what I live for XD! In all seriousness though, I felt like Falan deserved some justice, as well as Ithnan. So, these two seek closure in my stories, but unfortunately are unable to reveal anything that has happened in Alma Torran, as dictated by Aini's rukh. Also, yes. Lelouch Vi Britannia is in this story. :) At least you'll have this chapter to keep you company, eh?
InuKags123: Right now!
Guest 1: I definitely won't give up, but sometimes I won't update for a while cause of school.
Guest 2: Here you go! And thanks!
Until Next Time! R&R!
