Story
I thought if I was that strong, I could protect everyone.
108 tales, prayers, wishes and tragedy that interlocks... and no one left to tell the tale.
Our story's hero and Jowy were a part of the Highland Kingdom's Unicorn Youth Brigade, partaking in a taxing battle against the City-States. The City-States of Jowston, made up of the 5 cities of Muse, South Window, Tinto, Greenhill, and Two River, as well as the Matilda Knights, and the Highland Kingdom were involved in a never-ending battle over gaining control of land.
A few months earlier to the story, Agares Blight, king of Highland, and Anabelle, mayor of Muse, signed a truce agreement, both sides happy to see an end to the fighting. However, fires of a new war continued to smolder in the shadows...
A cast of over 140 characters, comprised of the 108 Stars of Destiny, members of the City-States of Jowston, and the Highland enemies, come together to weave a dynamic and magnificent story.
Prologue
These lands held by the Highland Kingdom, the 5 City-States of Jowston, and the Matilda Knights, are a site of constant border disputes.
To the east, with its back to the sea, the Highland Kingdom maintains an intimate relationship with its northern neighbor, the Holy Kingdom of Harmonia. Highland, a military might, is constantly gripped with a perpetual sense of territorial danger that leads the kingdom to odds with the City-States of Jowston.
In contrast, The Jowston Alliance has Lake Dunan situated at its center, which forces a reliance on boats, or having to make significant detours around the shoreline. This makes cooperation between the city-states difficult, making it hard for them to come together against one enemy.
A young man is stationed at an army garrison near one of the borders.
When he closes his eyes, his mind drifts to his hometown.
The boy's adoptive father, Genkaku, was a strict parent,but also imparted him with many teachings.
That they were not of blood connection mattered not at all.
Nanami is the boy's foster sister.
They have been a family as long as they can remember.
Genkaku and the boy are always in Nanami's thoughts.
The boy also has a close childhood friend, Jowy.
They have learned lots of lessons together, and shared many experiences.
They were all irreplaceable to the boy.
they were always there, together with the scenery of his hometown.
The boy opens his eyes to see Jowy's smile.
"Changed already?Can't wait, huh?"
Tomorrow they will be returning to Kyaro Town.
Though they know not why this war began, or for what reason the cease-fire agreement was signed, one fact makes the boy's heart race...
He's going home.
The wheels of destiny slowly grind on as the thoughts and wishes of many pass each other by, sometimes gently, sometimes heartlessly...
And yet, the wheels will continue to turn without fail.
