[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
By: koinekid Based on the Sheena ending of ToS, this story chronicles the sometimes awkward sometimes frustrating but always endearing romance between Lloyd and Sheena. Eleven months into their Exsphere hunting journey, they're headed for some well-deserved down-time in Iselia, where Zelos shortly arrives with grave news. The trouble the two worlds have had adjusting to their new unified state has reached a crisis point. A clash of ideals has arisen based on Tethe'alla's having been a monarchical society with all political power vested in the king of Meltokio, and Sylvarant's surface having been dotted with generally unaffiliated city-states. As Genis puts it, "Freedom or fealty. Eventually one will win out." Frightened that freedom will win that struggle, the king decides on a course of action: conquer all of Sylvarant at any cost. Obviously, Lloyd and his friends aren't going to take this lying down. Friendships are tested; alliances broken, and in the middle of it all, two people come to terms with their responsibilites as heroes and their devotion to one another, learning that love is never as simple as "happily ever after."
