A man who purposefully forgot his past is now responsible for humanity's future. Jasper Yuusuke has no memory of his distant past nor of his family. All he knows is that he belongs to a prestigious clan who was once feared as the Blood Knights, and that the two hanging around him are also supposedly part of his family. All other memories from before meeting them are locked away. He refuses to remember anything. After managing to kick some intruders out of his family's estate, Jasper comes face-to-face with a man who shows up with an invitation for him: to take part in a mission for an organization that was created immediately after the events of Die Sanguinis seven years ago. They've just been tipped off by several anonymous accounts about something big happening again, and they believe that Jasper is the key to humanity's survival. *PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS: "Those Who Struggle" *CONTENT WARNING: Story contains strong language, violence, blood/gore, hints of physical abuse, and other mature themes.*

Having a Gift is supposed to be good. But Edileth's feels more like a curse. Vowing to hide her abilities post-catastrophe, she leads a simple, disciplined life as Captain of the Guard in Kerindh. But this is all thrown into chaos when she is summoned by the Ferlian Order to transport an ancient relic for them. Edileth accepts, not knowing that it will lead her to participate in a power struggle much bigger than herself. On her journey, she is aided by a spontaneous elf who tests her patience, a healer who soothes more than physical ailments, an enchanter who is more than he seems, and an elite ranger with all the personality of a rock. Their common goal to prevent Gael-Narenth from falling to Si-ol's tyrannical sorcerer-king brings them together in more ways than one, and Edileth starts to care for her companions. But it is impossible to ignore the war approaching, and Edileth must embrace her scorned gift, or watch her companions perish. ~~~~ Won 2nd place in the Fantasy genre for The Lotus Awards 2020. Adept Pen Semi-finalist Chapters One through Fourteen are more heavily edited. The remaining chapters are still early-draft versions and are quite messy. Thank you for your patience and understanding as I work to polish this story!
