   Summary

   What is his ‘self’ but a small price to pay for power?

   (And what is power but a means to an end?)

   ---

   A 'what if' canon divergence. After the final battle, Tartaglia has fallen into the Abyss and assumed dead. Teyvet moves on into a new era, those who knew him and those who loved him continue to live their lives without him. When he emerges again, he is entirely different. Tags will be updated with new warnings as chapters as added.
