As Aniakir hung from the tree, the continents began to shift. They charged into each other, faster and faster, for two years colliding with great force. Now six years later, in a new world, Yerdinfall is the continent.
Samuel woke up and went to the post in Helorion. He recieved a letter from his parents.
"Dear Samuel,
I am writing to you because your mother and I will likely never get to see you. You are going to be an amazing person. Love dad.
-Aniakir and Lady Ellence"
Samuel was glad to know the names of his parents, but he wished he could have met them. He went to the academy there in Helorion to train his bladesmanship, only because it was expected of all able-bodied people due to the Merge.
Rachel and Mark woke up at first light in Castillia. They crossed their blades and began their dance. They crossed around, each blow connecting with great equality.
"You need better training brother, I could squash you like a bug!"
"Now now Rachel, let's not be too sure!"
The siblings clashed back and forth for a little while before Mark threw Rachel to the ground. They got up and brushed off, heading into the city academy.
Jessica awoke beside Zeno who was still fast asleep and snoring. She walked to the balcony of their home in Swordseat and looked out onto the streets below. Zeno embraced her from behind and planted a kiss on her neck.
"My love, when will we go away to house on the countryside and live out peacefully with our children?"
"When the Continental Gate is open, and I can carry you there in my arms, Jessica."
The two embraced for a little while then got ready to face whatever the day had to offer.
Solomon and Dante groaned as Paul awoke them with loud banging. They were close to finding Aniakir and Lady Ellence's child. They all gathered in the Library at Academy and searched the records until they found that Samuel lived in Helorion. They set off to find him, Mark, Rachel, Zeno, and Jessica to combat against the rising threat of Ultas and Voron.
