Synopsis
Ancien is a Guardian– an eternal being with holy omnipotence, tasked with the preservation of mortal existence. Tasked with collectives of mortals in different timelines, Ancien was content to use the entirety of his existence in service of his duties– until one day, he begins to observe Avenir, one of the mortals he was assigned to observe.
Soon, he begins to feel his heart stir, an insatiable desire forming. He saw Avenir as one who sought protection, and deserved such. It was not his task to ensure her happiness– he merely wanted to see it, and moreover, be the cause. Betraying the creed of Guardians and Gatekeepers alike, Ancien leaves his post and joins her in mortality– something expressly forbidden for those of his kind. After inadvertently causing his desired lover’s death due to his interference, his sanity deteriorates, and instead of returning on high to receive judgment for his actions, he begins to follow Avenir through different timelines and forms of existence until he forces the hand of his superior Acier, who has begun to formulate a plan to stop Ancien before more timelines can be destroyed and with it, the delicate balance of mortal existence damaged beyond repair. |
