   Summary

   Istaroth is one of the Shades, a shadow of the Heavenly Principles, shackled between the dawn and end of time to do as her masters wish.

   (At the same time, she is also Venti, the God of Freedom, and he is her secret that she can never tell.)

   Summary

   The Anemo Archon has to fulfil his mission--it's his only goal, his only reason for existence but when that Angel, his executioner, consumes his heart, he's unsure why.
   The whole truth and desire of Barbatos will forever be hidden in the corners of the world.
