Ineluctable Fate

Summary:

"Even when you are in pain, you never say it. You just joke your way out of it. ...I know, because that's how I was."

Baldinar Le Mudias, Prime Minister of Kounat, was not always evil. Some part of him to this day remains virtuous, despite his actions, clinging to that desire to see everyone safe and happy, to protect everyone even if now he had threatened those very people he promised to protect. Once, he was simply a man in love who wanted to protect his country and the world, well-liked, well-trusted by his people. And then one day he was a bit less loved, a bit less trusted, and he slowly turned to walk a path that never should have been.

Grief is an awfully misguiding presence. One must be careful not to follow it to the ends of the world.

(A story about Baldinar's descent into villainy, expanding on some of the cutscenes from GC and GC:DC. Works from the rest of the Useless Drabbles series are considered mostly canon to this one--- though some of that writing is a little outdated and will be revisited in this one, lol. Updates approximately once every 2 weeks! Currently behind on updates.)

Notes:

You can find me on social media @Baldinerd on Twitter, and Baldinar on tumblr! If you need help translating this work, let me know and I'll do what I can to help! Cheers, and hope you enjoy! :)

Chapter 1: Prologue - Holy Year 1300, 500 Years Before the Explosion of Kounat.

Chapter Text

Long ago, in an era forgotten by flesh but remembered in the annals of stories told long and far across this world, peace and prosperity abounded in the world nowhere more so than in the great nation of Kounat, blessed with the kind presence of the three goddesses: Ernasis, Goddess of War and Courage; Lisnar, Goddess of Love and Spirits; and Amenias, Goddess of Wisdom and Harmony.

 

In addition to their kind gifts which created our great country, the goddesses bore children with humans whom they loved, gifting us Celestials who would govern us always with courage to reprimand, love to soothe us, and wisdom to create like their mother goddesses.

 

Kounat thrived, but one day that prosperity was defiled by the Great Demonic King. In a wrathful act of heresy, he laid siege to Kounat, which had known peace until now. With powerful magic despite our inexperience, we managed to just survive, but the battle would no doubt end with the fall of Kounat, for our forces were scholars, not fighters.

 

Taking pity on us, Ernasis drew her sword, Lisnar her bow, and Amenias her wand. They fought to protect Kounat against the sinful Great Demon King in our darkest hour. Wielding their holy power, they smote the Demon King and banished his vile army to the world beyond, sealing them away forever.

 

Seeing that Kounat would be safe, the goddesses departed for the world above, and ever since Kounat has prospered.

 

We are peaceful, and we are safe.
