• "Astra gifted one of His eyes to the Foreseer. By walking the winding path of time did the Foreseer understand its passing. This is the power of a god." - Philos: Tome of the Foreseer
  
• An eye, huh. One. Singular. Eye.
  
• Okay, so solar eclipse time. The ring flare strikes Creatio and the light reflects patterns of disorder and chaos, reflecting into the hands of the Foreseer. Ancient symbols appear. Astra's will has presented itself. Those who defy fate are sinners and shall be punished by Him.
  
• /flashback to Fallen Crown and the sinners of dead Philos.
  
• I'm still very much dying. the marks have reached my neck now.
  
• apparently Zayne makes it snow in the Library when he's upset. it seems he doesn't like whatever prophecy came down from on high, but that's not his concern. he will only give it to a true envoy of the King to take away.
  
• when i am upset, i tell him i dance. so.. he promptly asks me to dance, under the falling snow.
  
• THIS GUY
  
• so wedding banner, i can't even.
  
• "The Foreseer cannot truly die." eh? "Remembering things from another era (life) is no different from being in a never-ending snowstorm."
  
• "If the snowfall is eternal, find someone to dance with you."
  
• THE NEXT DAY
  
• the jasmine has bloomed! i guess all it needed was some water and somebody to sing to it.
  
• he wants to take me somewhere else. i am pondering my plan of stealing Creatio, making Zayne powerless and leaving him imprisoned in the tower.
  
• well, it was a stupid plan anyways. everyone dies but i'm still alive today. take me away, avatar of fate! anywhere has to be better than here. maybe you've remembered something.
  
• oh boy. he took me to the ACTUAL flower field of jasmines. its a real place. "Is the person in front of me real or an illusion"?" GOOD QUESTION
  
• "I wish to confirm something... that I won't lose you again."
  
• crap, INDIGO EVERYWHERE. is Creatio about to blast us again in this field?
  
• "The blinding light consumes my vision while my heart feels like its being crushed." /shades of dying in Xavier's arms of pretty much this spring instantly to mind.
  
• "Cradled in Zayne's arms the girl lies still, her cold warmth lingering. The body he's holding cannot be considered one that belongs to a mortal. Under her clothing blue lines manifest at an alarming rate. Astra warns the Foreseer in the form of an eerie indigo gleam from the Creatio Protocore on his scepter. The Foreseer is forbidden from peeking into his own destiny. Or else Astra shall give unto him the sweetness of Death's embrace.
  
• "Even so, the Foreseer must see the future of this girl whose fate is deeply intertwined with his. Following destiny's golden thread, he unveils truths hidden in enigmatic mist. Along his long journey he has met this girl time and time again. He falls in love with her, becomes witness to her changing fate, and watches her die. Astra's tools can never fall in love. And so Astra manipulates his memories of her, plunging them into an incomprehensible mystery: a jasmine bud that never blooms and is out of reach."
  
• . . .
  
• Is this myth implying that this god or power named Astra sentences me to death over and over and over and over again simply because Zayne can't help loving me?
  
• I'm awake again! go go gadget can't really die me.
  
• oh no. i search everywhere but Zayne isn't in the Tower. shit, what happened. oh. hidden staircase that i've only just discovered now, naturally. noises!
  
• crap, White Salvation again.
  
• this is not on. Zayne is shackled to the wall in this icy prison room.
  
• "With not a tinge of emotion, Zayne's eyes are scarlet. His hand emits a white glow and as he clenches it, the black ice suddenly elongates and stabs his body."
  
• NO, BOYFRIEND! DO NOT!
  
• Astra is wielding him as a weapon against himself. It looks like the ice is just erupting through him. "I cannot die. This agony I've experience before."
  
• we free him with the power of being really mad at his god and also apparently a really warm hug. also unlock the shackle (we are a font of interesting skill sets) and toss it away as well.
  
• "I bear the name of Foreseer. So Astra punished me for defying my own fate."
  
• aww. the jasmine at the top of the Tower is wilting, dropping its petals to scatter to the wind.
  
• "Your illness stems from your resonance with the Creatio Protocore." a-HA! creation to creation, life to life. its draining what is in my heart to make itself stronger. i guess i'm a fragment of it, somehow? "This would be your fate after meeting me."
  
• He takes the Creatio in his hand, unlatched from the scepter and the Tower is illuminated with the light. "The power of Astra can curse destiny itself. It can be used to ruin His plan."
  
• oh noes. he puts the Creatio against my chest and it dissipates into my heart.
  
• he puts his hands on me, warm light flowing to let my weakened heart beat once more. Frost forms on his face. the Tower starts to crumble.
  
• HEY! THAT'S PART OF THE NEW MYTH!
  
• "Your destiny is not written in stone." yes, because you broke it and cursed yourself! "Ice embeds itself into Zayne's back."The Creatio Protocore exists inside you. Astra's power is yours to wield. Farewell."
  
• aww, please! " Don't leave me. I want to say by your side."
  
• "I wish to end it on my own terms. May I?" Zayne leans down and kisses me for the first and last time. He smiles and slips away into the light.
  
• I wake up back in the sea of flowers, but all the jasmines have bloomed. and... and Old Woman is asking if I'm all right? oh hell, no. this is terrible and not all right AT ALL.
  
• No passage back to the Tower of Thorns, there's a blizzard in the way. A blizzard that will probably storm for the rest of eternity.
  
• and Zayne's voice asks me not to cry, even as the last petals of withered jasmine form in my hands back into a single pure flower, encased in ice. so he cannot forget this last memory.
  
• THE END
