The Vision

The Vision (ビジョン) is an short story depicting one of the visions of Lachesis. The visions shows the aftermath of an failed peace treaty between the Caliban kingdom and the Gemma Empire, whereas the usage of the M.A.N.A fired upon the City of Caliban, causing devestating destruction. The Princess of the North sees in the vision the first-persion of the Ishgarian Ector Esclabor and his partner Kit Kat during the ordeal and the creatures of the unknown attacking any survivors.

This story should be considered an "what-if" scenario and the spin-off of The Diplomancy. Wether it's canon or non-canon is up to everything as there be other alternate outcomes of the treaty.

Part I
The aftermath of the M.A.N.A attack devestated the entirety of the City of Caliban, where it had easily pierced what Daedalus referred as the New Wall, an magical barrier powered by the lacrima gustav.The city now lies in utter ruins due to the barrier taking the bulk of the firepower itself. Buildings and fire across the city. Despite it, survivors existed with an blond man awakening.

"GAHH!!" Ector exclaimed in shock and utter pain, covered in blood and bruses. Breathing heavily and catching his wind, he tried to move but an sudden pain raced across his body, where he held onto his left arm, only there was no left arm. Shock came over him but soon he'd recollected and got up slowly with an limb. When he surveyed the area, he released Kit Kat wasn't with him and soon feeling of dread and anxiety started to surge up. "K-KIT!!" Coughed he'd did as he tried to shout, his throat is dry and his vision was not at its peak condition. Wanting to find Kit and maybe other survivors and began to leave the vincity in search for Kit.

Been over one hour of searching and nothing, Ector began to rest on an brick wall. When his vision came to be, he realized it was night, but he only guessed since smoke covered the entire sky, blocking out any sunlight from coming down. He'd then saw an survivor, a male human slowly walking but before he could call out, he heard something.

"H-hello.. who th---GAHH!" Before the man even finished, an black figure suddenly snatched him as the man screamed in terror. Ector internal fear and anxeity rises every second, he thinks of the worst.

"W-what the hell was tha..." Ector softly questioned, he thought Caliban was a good place considering his longtime friend lives here, but seeing the man get taken by something shooked him to the bone.
