"As the Sword Saint, I pledge that I will protect Cindy and Grandiel…"
Recovery is not linear, when it comes to most things. In Kyle's case, especially, recovery fails to be as fast as he wishes it could be. Every night it seems he still has nightmares about blue eyes, being hunted, and ultimately being used as a means to the Demonic God's end.
At least, that's what they all thought.
Kyle's soul had always been special. Some things are inexorable, when you are torn in more than one direction with your identity. Kyle discovers that he's not as alone as he thought with his trauma.
A fic exploring Kyle's recovery from the events of Grand Chase: Dimensional Chaser, in which the dead are not quite dead, and everyone wants to move on but the bindings of fate.
Our fic, "Useless Memories," is functionally canon to this fic, but should be supplemental at most (unnecessary to read, but check it out if you want to!). Also, please note that I haven't been able to read Cindy's likeability, so if this fic contradicts with anything in that, that absolutely was not intended.
