Time. Immutable. Moving ever forward. Even those granted the privilege of traversing the line discover, to their eternal dismay, that any and all attempts to change the events written in stone amount to nothing.
The spectral loom draws all in, weaving the entirety of creation into its temporal tapestry. Yet there are always those that resist, that refuse to be thrown about by the whims of Fate.
This is the story of the Nine. Those who, though they did not know it, brought the iron rule of Fate crashing to the abyss, never to return.
Paradox
“Who taught you to fight?”
“Rai Onii-san did! But he’s gone now… He’s gone, an’ he won’t come back…”
Guardian
“Can’t someone else do it?”
“There is no one else.”
Prowler
“Why do you steal? I’m sure you don’t need to.”
“Tell me; do you live to exist? Or do you exist to live?”
“What’s the difference?”
“It’s all the difference in the world.”
Anchor
“Why, why are you doing this?!”
“I’m doing this because this is my choice; nothing you say will change my decision.”
Bean
“Tell me, do you like your arm?”
“Uhhhh, yeah. Why do you ask?”
“Well I’d suggest that you remove it from my head before I remove it from your body.”
Crossfire
“We are nothing to them; pawns to be sacrificed for an advantage.”
“You’re wrong, we aren’t pawns. We have choice. We always have choice.”
Junction
“Do you even understand what you’re doing?! Not only are you defying the most powerful organization that walks this world, but you’re also trying to unravel an age old legend that could bring ruin to all! Haven’t you ever considered the possibility that secrets may be secret for a reason?”
“I know what my decision entails more than anyone! I’ve spent so much time at this crossroad, reading each and every sign, that I dare not spend more unless all choice is taken from me. This is the path I’ve chosen. All I can do is hope it leads to happier future for all.”
Surrogate
“It would seem that you are nothing if not loyal.”
“I told you, I don’t care what the blood says. You’re my brother, nothing will change that.”
This is the tale of the First Coming, passed down for generations. A legend to all save those who know what they truly did.
