So, we've reached the end of 'Inner Daemons'. I hope you've all enjoyed this story because I had a lot of fun with it. I apologize once again for so many game events being rushed, but I didn't want to try and have to add them (I was a bit lazy on that part, I admit it) and I was experimenting quite a bit with different things. But overall, I still like the way it turned out and I hope all of you did too.

Now, as I've said before, I have more plans for FFXV stories. I currently have two more ideas that I hope you're all anticipating. The next one will be called 'Guardian', and as always, I have a little sneak peek for you guys. (Be reminded that this bit of prologue is still being worked on and could change when the book is actually out).

Ages ago, the nation of Solheim prospered under the watchful eyes of the Six. With the Infernian's gift of fire, humanity thrived and created magitek and airships. But over time, mankind began to spurn the gods. This angered Ifrit, and began the Astral War. Solheim was ravaged by the warring gods and a parisitizing illness that became known as Starscourge. Ifrit was ultimately defeated and laid to rest, but Solheim fell into ruin.

To combat the Starscourge, two mortal bloodlines were chosen and gifted by the gods. House Fleuret became the Oracles while the Lucis Caelums became the kings of Lucis, the kingdom established over Solheim's ruins. A female member of House Fleuret was granted the ability to heal those afflicted with the Starscourge and the power to commune with the gods themselves. The kings of Lucis were given the Crystal, the heart of Eos, along with the Ring of the Lucii to harness its power.

Their powers combined, the plague had all but been eradicated from Eos, but a prophecy told of its eventual return. The kings of Lucis would protect the Crystal and the Ring for when the Chosen King would be born. The Oracles too began to wait for the birth of the Chosen, their purpose to aid him in fulfilling his destiny. Though Bahamut feared the plague's return would impact the two bloodlines before the King of Light's time.

Therefore, he granted power to one more bloodline. House Praesidio had been loyal protectors of the Oracles, and thus, were given a unique magic all their own. They could transform into powerful and magical beasts in Bahamut's own image. That was the birth of the Guardians. The three sibling Guardians split up, one remaining with the Oracle while the other two joined the Lucian king. From those three Guardians, many more were produced.

But over time, many of the Guardians began to question their calling. They found themselves seemingly useless to the kings of Lucis. No longer wishing to sit idly by and wait for a Chosen King, they turned on their masters. This led to all but two families being wiped out -- the original Praesidio family that had remained loyal, and the Necare family, which descended from the youngest of the original three Guardians, who fled from the bloodshed. House Necare steadily faded from history, leaving only House Praesidio as the last family of Guardians.

So how does it sound? I hope you're looking forward to it as much as I am! But please be patient as this one is taking me time to really plan and work out. If you don't already, I'd appreciate a follow so you can be notified when this book will be up (I'll post on my message board to let you all know). And in the meantime, I'll probably be updating my 'Final Fantasy XV Fanfics (+others)'. It's basically a compilation of short stories of FFXV and other things I like (such as some anime and stuff). If you like, you can check it out while you wait for the new book to be out.

Hope to see you all in the next book! Until then, walk tall, my friends! (I'm sorry, I had to use at least one quote)
