OctoWearing2Socks
Years after achieving his hard-won peace, Arthur Leywin watches in horror as his ultimate sacrifice means nothing. Surrounded by a flood of raw Aether and standing alone in a desolate void, he realizes he failed: his children and grandchildren burn to cinders, the future he saved has collapsed, and only he remains.
Devastated, he resorts to a last-ditch attempt-to subject himself to all the torment that he had already experienced.
