The Coreflames ignite one by one at the Vortex, yet the heroes fall.\\ With prophecies fulfilling one after another, who has written this world's fate? And can it truly be rewritten by Era Nova?\\ The final chapter of the Flame-Chase Journey unfolds, penned by memories...\\ ;#; ;#; Current Coreflame Collection Progress: 11/12 ;#; ;#; The Coreflame of Sky has been returned, and the Worldbearing Core has been reclaimed, awaiting its trial. ;#; ---- ==== Previously on the Trailblazing Expedition ==== {{ :external:amphoreus:manuscriptiv-eranova2.jpg?150|}} **Dan Heng:** Aglaea purged the Council of Elders with her own death. Phainon assumed leadership, uniting the people through oratorical rally. As we entered the Eye of Twilight, Hyacine sough to fulfill her ancestral duty, only to discover their legendary victory over Aquila was a bloodstained lie. **Caelus:** Together, we managed to defeat the Sky Titan, but when the Dawn Device suddenly extinguished, Hyacine had to return the Coreflame prematurely, remaining to protect the people in the sky. Cipher fell in battle, her divine power of "Trickery" dissipating, thus ending the thousand-year dawn sustained by her lies. **Dan Heng:** The path to the Vortex was bristled with peril. To preserve this world's final hope and ensure my friends' safety, I stayed behind alone to hold back the Flame Reaver. **Stelle:** The heroes staked their lives so the Deliverer could achieve Era Nova. To spare me from the prophecy's ordained separation, Phainon insisted on securing my safety before stepping alone into the Vortex of Genesis... The Flame-Chase Journey approaches its finale. ---- ==== Companions and Memories ==== {{ :external:amphoreus:manuscriptiv-eranova3.jpg?150|}} **Aglaea**\\ **Bearer of Mnestia's Divine Authority**\\ She made the most out of her death, turning the populace against the Council of Elders. Furthermore, her divine relic saved us from peril.\\ Her final bath was in warm and radiant gold. > **Dan Heng:** She paved the way for the Flame-Chase Journey with her curtain call, a leader true to her purpose until the very end. **Tribbie, Trinnon, and Trianne**\\ **Bearers of Janus's Divine Authority**\\ Tribbie sacrificed herself to hold the Flame Reaver back, and Trinnon exhausted the last of her strength to hurl Phainon into the Vortex of Genesis.\\ Thus, Tribios withered entirely. > **Trailblazer:** She ignited the beginning of the Flame-Chase Journey, then burned herself away to light the path to the end. **Mydei**\\ **Bearer of Nikador's Divine Authority**\\ He appeared when the Flame Reaver came to seize the Coreflame, buying us valuable time.\\ In the end, he was pierced in the chest, and his back bore the mark of his demise. > **Dan Heng:** The God-King Mydeimos battled gloriously to his last breath. {{ :external:amphoreus:manuscriptiv-eranova4.jpg?150|}} **Castorice**\\ **Bearer of Thanatos's Divine Authority**\\ She lent her aid from the nether realm, restraining the Flame Reaver with Mydei, and expended her final strength for Era Nova. > **Trailblazer:** Will she guide the souls of her fallen comrades herself? **Anaxa**\\ **Bearer of Cerces's Divine Authority**\\ Though gone from this world, his teachings to Phainon and Hyacine still play a crucial role along the Flame-Chase Journey. > **Trailblazer:** May the buds he sowed break through the void of fate. **Hyacine**\\ **Bearer of Aquila's Divine Authority**\\ She rebuilt the Twilight Courtyard and healed people during the apocalypse. She completed the Sky's trial, turning into a prismatic shield against the black tide. > **Trailblazer & Dan Heng:** She preserved the final "blank page" of the epic, adding a tinge of rainbow to the stories of ordinary people. **Cipher**\\ **Bearer of Zagreus's Divine Authority**\\ She died protecting the Coreflame of Worldbearing. Using the divine power of "Trickery," she changed the Dawn Device's 300-year limit into eternal light and guarded the secret alone for a thousand years. > **Trailblazer & Dan Heng:** Forging hope with lies of kindness, she accomplished the greatest trickery. {{ :external:amphoreus:manuscriptiv-eranova5.jpg?150|}} **Phainon**\\ **New Leader of the Chrysos Heirs**\\ He formally took coomand of the Flame-Chase Journey and carried the final Coreflame to the Vortex of Genesis alone, through Lygus claimed this scene had been repeated many times over. > **Trailblazer:** I know he sent us away for our safety, but... don't ever underestimate the power of the Trailblaze! **Mem**\\ Mem now wields the power of Time adeptly. After the Dawn Device was extinguished, Mem absorbed such a massive amount of memories that they could even sense memories of architecture dissolving... > **Trailblazer:** As reality in the city grows feeble, Mem senses impending danger. What exactly is the truth? **Dan Heng**\\ Here stand celebrated heroes and unsung guardians alike. To defend vanishing hopes is also the duty of the trailblazing Nameless. **Trailblazer**\\ "All shall bid farewell to one, and that person alone will witness the miracle." The prophecy calls this fate, but I'll find a way to break the rules. ---- ==== From the Future ==== {{ :external:amphoreus:manuscriptiv-eranova6.jpg?200 |}} ;#; When the scroll is sealed and the pen is set down, you hear whispers from the future. ;#; ;#; "... Destruction is not... outcome... fate..."\\ "This memory... repeats... endlessly..." ;#;
