Kieran is stabbed non-lethally in the Terrarium by a masked man, who ends up being a member of the iron cult, a group of extremists who worship Lysandre as if he were a god. They control most of Kalos, and are obsessed with war. And war's looking ever more likely by the day. At Blueberry Academy, Kieran's friends fret over his health as he recovers slowly, while they all fear for their lives. Meanwhile, the experiments in cloning, doppelganger, and antithesis science by the Aether Foundation, conducted in secret, are beginning to unravel as war looms. (this fanfic contains a lot of heavy themes, including but not limited to: blood, death, discrimination , descriptions of violence, depression, anxiety, kidnapping, abandonment issues, and self harm. This is a trigger warning for those kind of themes) COVER BY @omaraspiroz 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.
