(I have heavily re-written the preceding story. My original version did not live up to my inspiration. I really felt like this was a special concept, and I wanted to do it justice. Hopefully that's now been done ^_^
I'd like to thank Berrod, Reiner and others for inspiring the ideas behind it, and for introducing me fully to the King of Ruin and the Crusade against the Fists of Rhalgar. They've added an intriguing and dramatic layer to the life and character of Thule, Aya's father (who, like Aya herself, is nameless in this story). )
