The Monado's Origin (XenoChron fanfic)

{Warning: MASSIVE spoilers for Xenoblade Chronicles and some for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 ahead. Do NOT continue if you don't know how the story ends.}

An entire universe suffered the deaths of billions from the curiosity of one man.

A cycle of suffering and stale hatred was borne through the arrogance of one man.

A boy bearing the face of his creator brought about the destruction of one man.

From one man, the Monado was turned from a tool of creation into a weapon of murder.

And a single woman gave me the only love I have ever known.

She called me 'Alvis'.

And I believe it is time you know this story.

[Short narrative series where Alvis tells Shulk about his past.]
