14 parts Ongoing MatureDisclaimer: NOT A ANGST FIC. THIS FIC IS MOSTLY NORMAL, HOWEVER, IT DOES EXPLORE HEAVY THEMES AT CERTAIN POINTS, AND THEMES THAT SOME MAY FIND DISTURBING.
Kieran is stabbed non-fatally in the Terrarium by a member of a cult. Two days later, the same group takes over Kalos, as Kieran, along with his friends, return to Kitakami, officially on early holiday, for Kieran's safety. Kieran slowly recovers, regaining his confidence and his self-esteem that he had once fought so hard for, with Florian to help.
Meanwhile, the dreaded iron cult only seem to be advancing further and further in their aims...
DISCLAIMER:
This fanfic also uses art that is drawn by friends of mine, which they permit me to use. They are credited and named, in each and every chapter in which one of their artworks appear. I am also using characters that belong to said friends that they have allowed me to use.
