Arcana: Ephemeral Innocence
Description
She came back home to rest,
not to save the whole empire.
When the maiden Wang Xinran returns from her valiant journey back to the Empire of Archaion, she notices that things are in places but not at the right ones. With a tip from an elderly seeress Xinran discovers the truth: the empire's worst nemesis, Oracle Supreme, has created an alternative world that distorts the very reality Xinran knows as her home. Only the maiden knows about what's happening in the empire. She has to destroy twelve items belonging to twelve men who represent twelve of the Oracle's reversed Major Arcana Cards. If she doesn't do anything about it, this malignant version of the world will gradually become permanent and eternal. But what can Xinran do? She's just The Fool.
After a great journey to the world ucharted,
The Fool returmed to the hearth that she belonged to
Innocent was she but never retarded,
She discerned, "Why is everyhting out of the blue?"
Fragments were eerie and some things were different
The empire faced an inglorious descent
Something had corrupted the equilibrium,
An entity with a vast godlike power
Permanence should find this rising delirium,
Reality would become an absolute blur
Resulting to an alternative universe,
The truth: eaten by the atrocious curse
The Fool offered nothing but her experiences
From the journey she trekked with grand optimism
Doltish to accuse these as coincidences
Her unseen light became spectrum through a prism
Her golden heart that weighed lighter than feather
Born under the moonlight of love and aether
She came across the false sorcerer of the domain
Who obtained money from fraudulent phantasms,
The young ruthless ruler at the height of his reign
He imposed childish orders and twisted systems,
The prime counselor to the juvenile leader,
The one true gray eminence holding the ladder
She encountered the misanthropic strategist
Mostly known for his devious plans and wild dreams,
The remorseful general, once war catalyst
Brought death to his comrades because of his dire whims,
The delusional champion with his flawed thinking
His sense of justice brought a mess of suffering
She stumbled upon the notorious scoundrel
Superior to all miscreants altogether,
The fabled hero who held the victor's candle
Cursed with immortality to live forever,
The wicked scientist and his search for a cure
His procedures were horrifying and impure
She met the unknown brilliance of her nation
Living at the streets, thought to hold onto his dream,
The haunted archknight who went missing in action
For his demons and taken souls tormented him,
The cynical doctor who travelled shire to shire
To restore his healing craft, 'twas his great desire
All the twelve men represented twelve obstacles
For The Fool to overcome with all her valor
They owned twelve items; vessels of the miracles
That would void the curse; the balance she would restore
For years, The Fool believed she was great at none
Little did she know, her journey had just begun"
