[Day 11 Month 6 Year of Crescent Moon: 13.30]
"Child of Fate! Child of Fate! Child of Fate!"
The shout like this was filled the wide plaza in front of the Holy Shrine, the building that having a higher stage as two stairs can be seen on the left and right side as the only way to enter the Holy Shrine which is now being guarded by the soldiers with a rectangular shield. With this three figure can be seen at the edge of the platform as they watching over the sea of head below.
The Head Shrine who standing near was the one who started the speech.
"O' people of Alstancia, you don't need to feel fear anymore as the light was now descended upon us! As the Legend, when the Queen of Darkness resurrected we will have the power to make her stay to her slumber. Now, the Child of Fate already stands before us!"
~Cheers!
After the Head Shrine speaking, the crowd now can see the figures they seen as heroes and they cheered so loud that it was a wonder if their throat will hurt.
Then when the crowd calmed down, a young man with blond hair stepped forward a little.
"My name is Roland Barnes, I, in my hand was the Sun Medal, the sole proof of my identity as the Child of the Sun. With this, I will lend my power to save the world."
Roland said this as he showed his Sun Medal to the crowds when the light shone on the medal, it gives a warm feeling as it shining in gold. Then he stepped back. His word was short but the impact was spectacular. Then following Roland, a girl with long black hair stepped up imitating Roland.
"My name is Shirley Camilla Burnet, like a Sir Roland, I was one of the Child of Fate. This is the Moon Medal, the proof of me become the Child of the Moon. I-I will also help to save the world..."

Shirley who gripped her staff/mace introducing herself as she shows the Moon Medal that gives a calm feeling as it shines in the blue light, her voice gradually become low as she started trembled a little. The gaze of the crowds was looked normal, but Harold who standing beside Shirley narrowed his eyes. With a willpower, Shirley finished her speech and she stepped backward.
However, she makes a blunder and her step becomes broken as she started to fall backward. Expecting impact, she closed her eyes but suddenly she felt that her arm grabbed by someone and she ended in an unknown embrace. Opening her eyes, she saw Harold face and she started to understand her position. With one hand, Harold supported her body and the other hand was holding her left hand which holding her long mace.
She remembered that she was in front of the public and her face turned red. Harold seeing the cute expression of Shirley moves his face closer and whispered to her. Shirley who at first about to push Harold was surprised and her trembled body started to calm down.
Then Harold released his hug after make sure Shirley calmed down and stepped forward. When he did that, he noticed that Roland stared at him before turned at the smiling Shirley.
He shrugged before then facing the crowds as he also observing the confused people. With his enhanced ear, he can hear ‘Who is this man?' ‘Why he stand beside the Child of Fate?' ‘Why does it look like he was close to the Child of the Moon?' ‘Bastard, how dare he touch our Shirley!'. There are various expressions, from confused, to jealous. Harold displeased expression turned into an evil smile as they hear the complaint of the crowd. But when he heard ‘our Shirley.' His eyebrows twitched.

‘That old man… Why do I need to be standing here? Can he said that I was bodyguard or mercenary instead?' Harold thought like this but then sighed as he never knows what is that old man thinking. But it seems following his word was not that bad. ‘The world's need to know your existence. Especially when your oath was to protect Shirley, you have to tell the world about you.'
At first, Harold was troubled seeing the smiling Head Shrine as he ignoring the armored man who was called Marcus. But after standing in this place, he knows that this is the right thing. To make the world know about his existence and to be close enough with the Child of Fate.
"Listen, you people," Harold said this with confident as he pulled out his medal.
"This is the proof that I was also one of the Child of Fate! I was the holder of the Child of the Star!" Like agreeing with him, the Star Medal giving a bright light not likes a dark light when it was still in the Holy Shrine. This unexpected situation silenced the crowds and also Roland and Shirley who was the one seeing the real form of the medal.
With this sentence, Harold stepped back and stand beside the Shirley with his medal still shining. Like accepting the call of the Star Medal, the Sun and Moon Medal also started to shine and giving the area a brilliant light as it spread to the surrounding. When it reach the wall, the patrolling soldiers on top of the wall was bathed with light were feeling their stamina recover and beyond the wall on the land that still within the area of the light was also started to recovering its vitality as the green vegetation started to sprout.
This miracle was the one told the crowds that the Child of Fate has finally come.

Fallen
Hundreds of years ago, the servant god Elsyn declared that they would destroy humanity entirely, explaining it as their duty as humanity’s peacekeeper. When the gods saw it fit to send someone to oppose the fallen servant, Iztris—the gods’ own servant and follower—visits Cheryn. Iztris requests the aid of Alyson and Jacob, the oldest two heirs of Cheryn and the only ones given the gods’ offer of the ‘assurance of victory,’ and the heirs agree. There will come a time when humanity does fall—but none of them would allow that to happen by the hands of a being just as flawed as mortals. I recommend reading the story by volume, instead of by the order the chapters were posted. This story was beta read by Mad Sadie. Many thanks! Please note that some characters use different pronouns depending on the chapter’s view and the speaker. Iztris, for example, is referred to with neutral pronouns by Elsyn (in most cases) and themself, and after being introduced as such they are referred to with male pronouns by Alyson and Jacob.
