I'm going iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnn (I'm watching it HERE since it's uncensored)
As usual, spoilers ahead until you've also played it.
We start with the usual text message that announces a new DLC that mirrors the myth. The interesting thing is how it speaks of IF routes, where "players will form new relationships with characters from the main campaign" and how these routes "aren't merely bonus content, but rather alternative 'pathways to fate' centered around core characters." Sounds familiar, doesn't it.
Oh the companion test is scrumptious. I will try to take so many screenshots.
OK time to go in.
Chapter 1
"between the skeletal, jagged mountain ridges, seven colossal gates rise in layers. they reach for the heavens."
note to self to look it up in case it's a direct reference to something
I...don't think I'll get over Zane wearing a blindfold any soon. I've always been so weak toward that imagery with Justice and the likes.
But also, who's speaking? Some kind of horned, hooded creature?
Oh? Zayne is the one who entered a forbidden space. And he's here to take the Creatio Stone, which lies in the netherworld beyond the Seven Gates. Interesting.
The horned dude warns him that going there is a bad idea and he's already powerful enough, but this part got to me: "once you set foot in this realm, your divine authority and radiant glory will turn into flowing sand" which would be an interestingly apt way to reference the sands of time and the fact that he wouldn't be immortal anymore. Time would flow for him. I'm trying to see if we're getting the origin of his descent from godhood or something else.
He crosses the first gate, and there's an amber-like world in the void.
Change of setting, we're in Niava.
Time skip? Or is this the amber-like world?
The Vastraen are the Wanderers of this world. Curious that we got monsters in this myth, in Xav's myth, but not in Raf's.
LMAO the voice actor for the Limping Poet.
An arrow strikes from the Divine Tower against the monsters. Zayne?
"Then it [the arrow] falls into the silent Divine Tower and slowly transforms into an injured figure." Oh? MC?? SHE's the arrow??
She has to call for Zayne because only he can help (?). "A name once familiar" so they already know each other. "instinct for survival prevails over pride and resentment." and they have history. OK.
Zayne is the god meant to destroy the planet, and MC is the goddess of the place understandably not happy about the plan.
"Even if you want to destroy Niava... You still belong to me at this moment. Obey me...!"
OK MC lol
MC??
My oh my here we go with the kindled scene. Before I get distracted: she's fighting against Zayne? But he's the one who can heal her wounds by letting MC absorb his power? Is it because they're the only two deities there? Could she do that with any other deity? Or is his power compatible with hers?
"Feel this and remember what I'm giving you" is still an INSANE line I can't believe was written approved and voiced, and his marks glow as he enters her.
AN INTERACTIVE ACTION TO BITE HIS LIP. Infold, if every single spicy scene isn't like this in future cards I'm rioting!
sdhflaskjdlaskjdaslkjd she tries to walk away and he literally stops her with the leash. Gorgeous, please continue.
I can't believe we had an entire kindle that was just sex.
Again, infold.
Chapter 2
OK, cycle of life, as one thing meets its end, another is born somewhere else. And in that somewhere else it's now snowing.
"we once shared what seemed like the most intimate of touches and tender moments..."
Oh, so they know they know each other. Is this another reference to how memories are fleeting when your life is immortal?
Flashback to their first meeting! She keeps on referring him as "god" with quotation marks like it's not exactly what he is. And she says that he doesn't belong here, but he's like a sun that belongs to another world.
He's a being that transcends dimensions and universes, working above them to restore balance.
And Niava is still the amber-like world in the void past the First Gate, at the start of his journey for the Creatio Stone, I guess.
MC is really really really really set on making this man horny lol
Awwww they were so sweet when they got together. And then they divorced as gods usually do. He didn't protect the kingdom and she wondered why she ever thought that a god of annihiliation could ever be merciful toward her world. Nice conflict setup, I'm invested in their strangers-to-lovers-to-exes-to-lovers story.
As he proceeds to destroy the world, cracks start to appear on her?
Chapter 3
Saemyra...Hello there beautiful why haven't I seen you before m'lady. Oh she's the mortal ruler of Niava and the only person MC associates with. I ship it.
She follows the river upward, senses Zayne's power, and then a monster covered in crystal appears. He's not like the monsters she'd already seen, so something is happening that is making Wanderers appear here.
I don't envy the writers at all, this is very abstract and hard to describe. So both MC and Zayne fall into the void "in the cracks between the universe and time itself"
She has seemingly forgotten who Zayne is, but he tells her that she needs to sleep for a long time and they'll meet again.
Chapter 4
They ended up inside the monster's protocore??? And Zayne knows all about it, huh.
And MC's body needs constant healing usually, but inside the protocore she's perfectly fine, whereas Zayne is the opposite.
LOL Zayne really hates carrots in every universe.
Now they're talking about the symbols found in the protocore. Most likely the same shapes we're used to seeing in protofields. Zayne says that they "might be from the past. or perhaps they exist in a more distant future."
And the rain is time itself. They're really stretching things with the divine imagery.
They chat a bit more, it starts snowing, they more or less get back together, everything is nice and happy (or will be for the next 1 chapter at most lol).
Chapter 5
AAAAWWWWW Zayne goes around as high priest and does the job of an apothecary.
Damn, Zayne acting like a doctor is making me more emotional than I expected.
Also, I have to say, I'm impressed with the NPC voice actors. Good job guys.
Chapter 6
He gives her the principles of medicine ;____;
"After that, Zayne gave me more 'gifts.' iron casting, metallurgy, water management..." why is this making me emotional
Saemyra my queen, I love you.
Aaaaaaand we're back with the angst.
Chapter 7
"[he] traveled to Urtama's source to destroy the magical array he had once created there. Unexpectedly, the array originally meant to separate two realms had transformed into a massive monster after accumulating energy for countless years."
Huh...
hasldjasdjlasjd these two just go at it every other day, what even is this myth. Also, the fact that she uses sex to deceive him is very delicious and I'm already bracing for the drama in the fandom.
OH so Zayne DID take the Creatio Stone! And he's apparently used it in the past to resurrect MC!
The chapter ended and I didn't even take notes, I'm just staring at my screen.
Chapter 8
Yes but WHAT is the true purpose behind Protocores, don't be mysterious Zayne, we're nearing the end of the myth.
And we're nearing the end of YOU as well, apparently.
He erases his own name from the stone because the world does not longer need him, and he'll fight and probably die somewhere else while protecting Niava from its destined destruction. He's bending fate to keep her alive.
And she kidnapped a bird so she could track Zayne once he left. This MC I swear lol
Chapter 9
Oh my god the flashes of all the other Zaynes
OOOOOps Death&Rebirth reference. Nothing too big that should ruind your playthrough once you get to it.
sdgfhdlaskjdjksfhlasjd???????? That's NOT the background I was imagining after Zayne opened the door from his Divine Tower.
That might just be the tale of how Earth will die after EVER succeeds.
Oh shit. Oh sthi OH SHIT
So much. My brain is hurting.
Great acting Zayne, great job voice actor, model, everything. It broke my heart as it was intended.
The final scene in the fractal library left me reeling. Zayne saying that MC more than a variable is his selfish desire. The direct reference to the fact that their reunion is "incomplete" which ties back to a few meta interpretations in the fandom around Zayne and MC's divine ritual that is never properly fulfilled, leaving them both to be constantly separated.
I need to digest this properly before I can write some other comment. I feel like this is the perfect example of a myth where you play the story and then there's SO MUCH lore packed into it that you need to read carefully to properly insert it in the main story timeline.
As of now I can only say: very beautiful myth, yes, yes, very nice. Good job, infold.
