   Summary

   Short version:

   This a prequel to "Everything was fine, until..." You can read this one first, but I would not recommend that.

   Long version:

   It's time to finally see Marika's side of this story, how and why she became a goddess. Her actions were part of a chain of events that culminated into Messmer's Crusade against the Hornsent, and consequently to his conquering of the whole Realm of Shadow.

   This story follows the events that transformed him into who he is today through the eyes of his younger sister, Melina, along with his lover and partner in war, Rellana.
