Chronicle of Heroes ~ The Seer's Dilemma

[The Midgard Times]

Tonight it was reported that Agent Selene Winterfield, head of the International Peacekeeper Force, Vynn The Seer, and as usual, a group of volunteers, all traveled to Niflheim.

Sources within the International Peacekeeper Force told us Selene was partially motivated to take The Seer into custody in order to have a chance at reaching closure for the sudden death of her wife and former head of the IPF, Agent Adelaide Adlersflugel. But she was not searching for closure just for herself. She brought their daughter, Gabrielle Adlersflugel-Winterfield.

After a long journey by foot, the group reached the Valley of Gyoll, where spirits are often seen hovering aimlessly through the sky. They stood at the spot Vynn pointed to, and called out for Adelaide. After over an hour, a small glow appeared near the group. Adelaide had arrived.

Gabby, as their mothers called her, talked to her mom, thanking her for everything she had done, while Selene sought advice. She claimed to struggle often, to do what's right.

"To struggle deciding what's right for everyone... Is to live above those that favor some over the rest. It is to live above those that have a fast answer to something... without truly considering all factors... I know you'll always try to do what's right... Just consider what is right for all those involved..."

Selene thanked her beloved Adelaide for the encouraging words, and the family said their goodbyes for good.

Back in town, Selene and Vynn exchanged words of gratitude, and the two went their separate ways. He was allowed to return to the Dark Allegiance again, and was informed they would not interfere further in matters regarding The Seer.

We attempted to reach out to Ms. Winterfield, but she was allegedly unavailable to comment. Instead, the IPF press office offered the following statement.

"The IPF only wants The Seer's vision solved, for the safety of the world. Being with the Peacekeepers mean some nations have easier access to him. This includes Rune-Midgard. By extension, Light Allegiance Councilmembers Zhi Xun and Nereus could have possible access to him, the latter of which has proven time after time to act in detriment to The Seer.

Taking this into consideration, along with the fact Vynn himself is reluctant to staying within the IPF, we concluded it is best for the world that he return to the Dark Allegiance, as long as he make an effort to find answers regarding his troubling vision. After a long talk between Vynn and Ms. Winterfield, he offered to help her reach closure. In no way was the offer made in exchange for being allowed to leave."

In related news, today the Light Allegiance participated in various rallies and protests throughout Rune-Midgard and Schwartzvald, with the goal to create awareness of alleged dangerous actions on The Seer's part. They explain in detail how knowledge of The Seer's prophecies change the natural course of the world to cause them to come true.

But with The Seer returning to the Dark Allegiance once more, how will the Light Allegiance react?

The details and logistics of the Grand Finale of The Seer's Dilemma are currently in development!

The tentative date of the event is approximately two weeks from now, and will require at least one patch, a new map, and at least one server maintenance.

My (Ciar's) goal is to provide a different type of finale than those we've seen in the past, toning down my preference for Trippy Battles in favor of something more grounded, and moving away from "manually" hosted finales and straightforward battles, for a variety of different fight styles and mechanics.
