Valisthea—a land of flame, frost, gods & ghosts.

Here, kingdoms clash beneath the light of the Mothercrystals. Dominants, chosen hosts of Eikons, are revered—and feared. But Bearers, born with magick yet no Eikon, are branded, enslaved, & forgotten.

In the Grand Duchy of Rosaria, young Joshua Rosfield inherited the fire of the Phoenix. His elder brother, Clive, received its blessing—wielding its flame not as Dominant, but as Joshua’s sworn shield. “I’ll protect you. Always.”

But at Phoenix Gate, their world burned.

A celebration became a slaughter. Archduke Elwin, their father, was betrayed & slain. Blood spattered Joshua’s face—his grief turned to fury.

“You killed him… WHY?!”

Only one man saw the truth. He died, whispering: “Clive... you’re—”

Phoenix and Ifrit collided. Flame against flame. Brother against brother.

“STOP! DON’T HURT HIM!” But Ifrit’s claws struck deep.

Clive collapsed in the ash, unaware... the beast he hunted was himself.

Then lightning fell from the heavens.

“Name’s Cid,” said the man through the storm. “You look like you need some help.”

He offered sanctuary—a place called the Hideaway. for Clive, The first step toward vengeance. And the truth he’d been running from.

A few years later, Clive was still searching for the culprit, but got distracted by a woman named Benedicta Dominant of Garuda. She Was slaughtering innocent people and capturing Bearers. It was heard She had captured a Eikon of Fire, which sparked his Interest.
