Dainsleif Lunar Arcana || Animated

WELCOME HOME, GRANDMASTER VARKA!!!

The only problem is that he forgot how:

A) Almost all Sinners are curious little freaks who wish to figure out the truth of this world;

B) Rerir is still looking for Tholindis even 500 years later;

C) They all cared about him, even agreeing to commit treason to save his brother just because he asked them;

D) You can't escape tragedies/ one's fate is often met in the road one takes to avoid it;

E) The Abyss is still present, and is currently doing the equivalent of dangling Dainsleif over the sinner's heads, complete with a bunch of visions of happy memories intermingled with the worst tragedies;

F) Venti sent him back far too early, so there's an eight-year-old Dain with no memories of who he is wandering through the streets of Khaenri'ah (he later befriends Surtalogi);

G) Vedrfolnir already went above and beyond to ensure Dain's survival in the canon timeline, what do you think he's going to do once he realizes he has a little sibling that nobody remembers, a sibling who is currently a child and is completely alone!?!?

And so, time traveler Dainsleif gets to watch from the sidelines as his little attempt of saving the world by getting himself out of the equation actually speedruns the creation and corruption of the Five Sinners, mostly thanks to Vedrfolnir's desperate attempts at forming a search party after figuring out what happened.

(Also Dain may or may not have also lost his memories. Since he's time travelling maybe Venti managed to protect him, or the ring also saves his memories?)
