Hugo never asked to see into the Firmament - the place where angels walk, shadows whisper, and the timelines of history twist and converge. But when he's drawn across the veil, he's given a single mission: stop a man before he becomes one of the most feared figures in history.
The task takes him from a quiet childhood to the chaos of war, where every choice carries consequences far beyond the battlefield. Guided by a messenger he doesn't fully trust, and haunted by visions he can't explain, Hugo must decide how far he's willing to go to change what will be.
Because mercy has a cost.
And in the Firmament, nothing - not even time - comes without a price.

Forsaken Fallen
"Walk on by my side, if death's your saving grace." This is a cruel story of humanity. An unforgiving, unforetold twist on the laws they call the norm. To those individuals and their handful of burden from a bygone past, it is their greatest wish for their torture to come to a close. Are they sinners? Or are they misguided, fallen angels? Is the kind of pain that makes them want to rip their eyes out... to turn their very beings into dust worth the journey in the big picture? In the reunion between two sides of the same coin does the curtain rise on this story. To one, a slave shackled by the truth of the world, to the other, a world that shall bow to one truth. It is in the deepest of despairs that sometimes the hopeful spirit is born--Thus I watch over with great interest. - Perséphone
