==Plot==
===Prologue===
Ethimelle was living well in the Moon Kingdom of Ashesta, a kingdom that worships the Goddess of the Moon, Tamheia. One day, Ethimelle is awoken by the sound of soldiers invading Ashesta, and sees out her windows that House of Solace soldiers, the kingdom of the Sun that worships the God of the Sun Carmone, are none other than the invading force. Climbing out her window and ambushing three soldiers marching via throwing a brick at them, Ethimelle takes one of their swords and fights her way to the Church of Tamheia. Heading inside and locking the doors, Ethimelle meets the goddess Tamheia, who says that the plan to save her people is a spell called the Moon's Seal, where she will use to hide all of her people so by the time they come out, she will give the people more directions and rebuild Ashesta afterward once the House of Solace. 
However, the plan to cast the Moon's Seal on Ethimelle is interrupted when a House of Solace soldier breaks in through a glass window and fires a crossbow arrow that impales Ethimelle's chest, killing her in the process. Tamheia, not wanting Ethimelle to die, intervenes, causing herself to bind with Ethimelle's body. The scene ends fading to black as Ethimelle disappears in a flash of light.
===Chapter 1: Awakening===
Rousing from inactivity or sleep, coming into awareness.
Ethimelle slowly wakes up 100 years later on the grass, located in the same area where the Church of Tamheia was. Slowly regaining her consciousness via looking in the meadow around her, she realizes that this isn't the kingdom of Ashesta. Tamheia, who had appeared in spiritual form, explains what happened; she had prevented Ethimelle's death, but the amount of stress and trauma she had from the people of Ashesta dying to the House of Solace caused her to bind to Ethimelle's body. She further elaborates that if Ethimelle dies, Tamheia will also die as well which will end the Moon Kingdom of Ashesta for good in a future where nobody will recognize her as the Goddess of the Moon. Ethimelle understands this, and says that she will never let her faith toward Tamheia down. Tamheia says that due to what happened 100 years ago, including the failed Moon's Seal and all of those other factors, that all of her powers have been severely weakened to where even if they were to take revenge on the House of Solace and the sun god Carmone, they would be no match for them, and then says that she wants to help Ethimelle regain her powers and eventually find her way in the new world.
Ethimelle then travels through the forest alone, clad in the same clothes that she was wearing 100 years ago, and suddenly throughout the forest, she encounters a werebear that sees her as prey. Realizing that she has no weapon to fight the werebear, Ethimelle find a wooden stick and uses it as a weapon. After killing the werebear, Ethimelle continues onward and sees a small town. Walking into the small town of Dovek, Ethimelle meets a man who is interested in her, Arthur. Arthur says that the town doesn't get very many visitors, and that he has never heard of her before. Ethimelle says that she was from the kingdom of the Moon, Ashesta, which Arthur says nobody has ever heard of. That day, Ethimelle gains the trust of Arthur and the people, and Arthur gives Ethimelle a cerulean dress and mocassin slippers, seeing that Ethimelle has been walking the whole day barefoot with only a shirt and boyshorts.
2 days later, Arthur disappears but leaves behind a letter to Ethimelle, which states to Ethimelle that according to another person he knew, there is a city north of Dovek, called Palacia, which is stated to be under House of Solace control. Seeing that Dovek could be next for full House of Solace control, Arthur says to Ethimelle in the letter to open the box and then leave. Ethimelle opens the box and finds an iron sword. Taking the iron sword, Ethimelle leaves the town towards Palacia.
En route to Palacia, Ethimelle is then stopped by three House of Solace soldiers with new armors from 100 years ago who ask her what business she has traveling to Palacia, which is under House of Solace occupation. Ethimelle states that she is an ordinary citizen heading to the city of Palacia for an important job. The House of Solace soldiers tell Ethimelle to move along, only for one of the soldiers to notice that on the back of Ethimelle's dress as she was walking forward was a tattoo that matched Tamheia's emblem, on the same position where the arrow impaled Ethimelle's chest 100 years ago. Realizing that this was the survivor that evaded death 100 years ago via the aid of Goddess Tamheia, the soldiers attack Ethimelle, but Ethimelle fights them off with the sword.
While getting close to the entrance of Palacia, she is stopped by a House of Solace captain who then throws magnet cuffs on Ethimelle's arms, dropping her sword. The captain says that nobody from the Moon Kingdom of Ashesta is allowed inside the city of Palacia. Ethimelle is angry at this, and tries to break free of the cuffs. The captain warns that if she tries to break free of the cuffs, bullets will be fired from the House of Solace soldiers, and further asks her if she understand this. Just as the two musketeer soldiers were aiming their crosshairs on Ethimelle, Tamheia proceeds to attack the captain with a phantom blade, disorienting the two musketeer soldiers and then causing the captain to bleed out. The two musketeer soldiers aim to stop the captain from dying, but in the meantime, they were unaware that Tamheia is using her powers to unlock the cuffs via cutting them with a flying weapon. 
Ethimelle, now free of the cuffs, proceeds to fight the musketeer soldiers with a weapon Tamheia has summoned for her; a rapier encoated in diamond and sapphires, the colors of Tamheia. After killing the two musketeer soldiers and the captain. Tamheia says to Ethimelle that she is slowly regaining her powers, and that that they will need to be able to utilize the power of darkness to stop the House of Solace inside the city of Palacia, known as the New Moon.
===Chapter 2: Shadows===
Darkness created by obstruction, the blockage of light.
Prior to entering the gates of Palacia, Tamheia says to Ethimelle that there are three Moons that represent Tamheia's powers, the New Moon, the Half Moon, and the Full Moon. The New Moon represents the power of shadows and darkness, the Half Moon represents the power of clouds and gravity, and the Full Moon represents the power of ice and snow. Tamheia also says that if they want to face against the House of Solace and the sun god Carmone, they will have to work together to recover Tamheia's powers.
Upon entering Palacia through the gates, they see that the people of Palacia were living well and were treated fairly by the House of Solace guards occupying there. Ethimelle senses something that is not right, seeing that they, alongside the sun god Carmone, were the ones that attacked Ashesta and left no survivors except for her and Tamheia. Then, as they realize that the only reason they're treating them with kindness was to make them worship the sun god Carmone to gain more followers, one of the House of Solace guards inside the city notices the dead bodies outside the gates and seeing that the woman who had entered the gates was none other than Ethimelle, the last survivor of Ashesta, the Moon Kingdom, the House of Solace proceeds to declare a "state of emergency" where people are told to stay inside due to a dangerous follower of the "evil moon goddess", with some people at first objecting against the curfew. At the same time, Ethimelle run through the city while killing a few House of Solace soldiers that were pursuing her.
Heading towards an alley surrounded by shadows, Ethimelle hides behind several crates, and hearing the footsteps of a House of Solace soldier, Tamheia intervenes and pushes the soldier into the alley with her powers. The soldier becomes scared and is convinced that there's a ghost in Palacia. Ethimelle tells the soldier to explain what is going on in Palacia. The soldier, seeing that the person who was talking was just an ordinary girl who didn't sound like a threat, explains that the sun god, Carmone, wanted to expand his followers to across the world, and that they wanted them to occupy Palacia not just to expand their technological advancements here and there, but to also spread the faith of Carmone everywhere. He also says that the mayor of Palacia, Malcolm Willis, is under consideration of turning Palacia into a House of Solace state and the meeting is bound in 2 days. 
At the same time, another House of Solace soldier approaches the alley and tells the soldier not to procrastinate on the suspect, who is said to be a follower of the moon goddess Tamheia. The soldier who was talking to Ethimelle in the ally tries to reason with him, stating that she just wanted answers on what they were doing to her. The two soldiers end up getting into a fight, which results in the opposing soldier killing the soldier that claimed evidence to Ethimelle with his sword. Seeing this, Ethimelle decides to leave Palacia and at the same time, stating that "2 days" will be the end of Palacia's freedom, heading for the forest west of Palacia to go into hiding while she and Tamheia aim to connect with the darkness as part of their New Moon training.
That night, deep in the forest, Ethimelle has settled down in a grassy area surrounded by trees with the only source of light being from Tamheia's moon magic, as the trees block out the stars' glow in the night. Tamheia says that its time for them to begin the training to recover the powers of the New Moon, so they can liberate the House of Solace from Palacia and take back freedom to the people. First, Tamheia tells Ethimelle to close her eyes to where she sees nothing but darkness, and tells her to do relaxing breaths to the atmosphere of night, which Tamheia says that it pictures her being alone in the darkness but with the atmosphere around her. Second, Tamheia tells Ethimelle how to be quiet in the night, which before practicing her ability to avoid noise in the night, Ethimelle takes off her shoes as going barefoot naturally makes her footsteps quieter, and that after her New Moon training, she wanted to get some sleep after a long day. After going on a walk in the grass, Tamheia says that her powers of darkness have been slowly recovering to her, including the ability to silence the sounds of their attacks. 
Waking up in the forest, Ethimelle's sleep is interrupted by the sound of House of Solace soldiers being on patrol, looking for her after what she did yesterday. After battling the soldiers in the forest, Ethimelle decides to return to Palacia and try to find out more about the House of Solace and what to do for tomorrow. Ethimelle still is pursued by occupying House of Solace soldiers, but the next day, some of the people actually become afraid of the House of Solace, after the only things some people have noticed is that Ethimelle is only going after the House of Solace soldiers but not the people of Palacia. While being pursued, a woman lets Ethimelle in her home, stating that she wants to help.
The woman, who reveals her name to be Bethany, states that the House of Solace were here to pose as "allies" to the people of Palacia, and they have a secret plan to convince the mayor of Palacia to hand over control of the city to the House of Solace. Ethimelle didn't think at first that the people of Palacia would suddenly become suspicious of the House of Solace's doings, including why is she only attacking the House of Solace but not the people of the Palacia. Bethany states that she and her family knew of the moon goddess Tamheia, but things are still at a position where if they warned about what Carmone and the House of Solace did to the Moon Kingdom of Ashesta, the kingdom that worships Tamheia, nobody would believe them because they don't have enough evidence to prove it. While Ethimelle was staying in Bethany's house, still planning things out with Tamheia, a House of Solace guard knocks on the guard, looking for a woman named Ethimelle. Bethany, seeing the House of Solace, surrenders to them, with the guard stating that they're under arrest for assisting the follower of Tamheia, the moon goddess.
Suddenly, just as when Bethany was being escorted by the soldiers, some of the citizens of Palacia witness this, and then suddenly, Bethany wrestles her arms out and proceeds to try and land a kick on the soldier's leg, which results in Bethany herself getting apprehended by other soldiers. However, the soldiers realize that people have already witnessed everything regarding the House of Solace. One man says that he will object to the takeover of this city tomorrow. At the same time, Ethimelle runs through roof to roof avoiding the House of Solace soldiers, and then takes down a soldier with a lance weapon, which Ethimelle then takes. Tamheia says that she can add that lance to her Angelic Artillery, which she is already processing with her moon magic. Utilizing the Knight's Lance that was summoned out of Tamheia's magic, Ethimelle aims to launch herself to the next roof high, but Tamheia warns of injury. Upon vaulting herself to the roof, Ethimelle sustains minor injury which causes her to sit down for a bit.
Tamheia warns that there are practices that take a lot of risk-taking to do and are oftentimes fatal to the human body, and reminds Ethimelle that she needs to watch her internal organs, because if any of them fail and penetrate through Tamheia's protective life link, Ethimelle will not only die, but also Tamheia. Ethimelle understands this, and then proceeds to open the doors on the roof where she was. Ethimelle finds herself in an army full of weapons, including swords, bows, etc. In the armors section, Ethimelle finds a royal leather armor suit designed specifically for female soldiers, which she also wants once she liberates the city. However, another man, a guard of Palacia unaffiliated with the House of Solace, says that the armory is off-limits to citizens. Ethimelle and the guard get into a sword parrying fight, where they both slowdown and realize that Ethimelle was the one that came to Palacia yesterday who made the people aware of the odd things the House of Solace was doing to the people. The guard says that he will have a place to stay for her tomorrow so she can witness the meeting with the mayor and the House of Solace executives. 
Going with the guard to his base, Ethimelle finds herself in a training ground with wood puppets. Ethimelle figures that its time to practice the lance weapon toward the wood puppets, which she destroys four of them, with Tamheia destroying the last one via a lance she drops on the target. The guard says that she has been very proficient with weapons, which Ethimelle says is with the aid of the moon goddess Tamheia, who the House of Solace and the sun god Carmone largely hate. The guard then says that there's a bow weapon, and not many people have managed to use the bow due to bows being restricted much more often than swords due to the difficulty of using them and the fact that bows are much more dangerous to use. Seeing the bow in the training ground and the bullseyes, Ethimelle comes up with a plan for tomorrow, she will use the bow for the plan that she has, but she decides to train with the bow so Tamheia can familiarize herself. After hitting the three bulleye targets after missing a few shots due to Ethimelle learning how to getting used to a ranged weapon that requires two hands; one for the arrow and one for the bow's grip. 
After training with the bow, Tamheia materializes Ethimelle the Grand Bow part of her Angelic Artillery, giving her rapier essentially two different forms it can transform into; a lance and a bow. Ethimelle then goes to bed in a quarters given to her by the guard for assistance, and slowly, the guard who had been supporting Ethimelle has been praying to Tamheia before bed.
The next day, Ethimelle heads to the area where the mayor of Palacia, Willis, and executives of the House of Solace are negotiating over who gets to take control of the House of Solace. Ethimelle utilizes her New Moon powers to not only suppress her arrow to prevent them from hearing it, but also have Tamheia invisibly eavesdrop their conversations to Ethimelle's ear, allowing her to hear the full conversation. While eavesdropping to their conversation, Ethimelle at first aims the bow towards the executives, but upon hearing that Willis is taking House of Solace's side and is planning on training citizens to be soldiers of the House of Solace and followers of Carmone, Ethimelle decides to shoot the arrow towards Willis, killing him, and Ethimelle runs off with her foodsteps suppressed. Meanwhile, both the Palacia agents and the House of Solace executives get into an argument of who killed Willis, until someone pointed out that there was a woman watching them in the distance with a bow weapon. Ethimelle then kills the executives via disorienting them, and then with the aid of Tamheia, executes them with shadows, but spares the Palacia guards.
The two agents that were with Willis explain to the woman that assassinating Willis was the worst thing anyone would ever do. Ethimelle says that he was already exchanging forces with the House of Solace and planned on converting everyone to worshipping the sun god Carmone against their own will. She even said that in Palacia, a woman was attacked by a House of Solace guard and the people have already realized what she was fighting for. Just as the agents were going to give Ethimelle execution, a group of people arrive outside to see that Willis, the mayor of Palacia was killed. The people then object to Ethimelle's execution, saying that it was for the better that they do not bow down to the sun god Carmone and the House of Solace's posing as the allies to them. The agents then back down, allowing Ethimelle to go. 
Tamheia then comes out in spiritual form to talk to the people of Palacia, revealing herself as the moon goddess. She talked about what happened to the moon kingdom of Ashesta 100 years ago, including the attack and how Ethimelle survived via her failed Moon's Seal that was interrupted when a soldier almost killed her with a crossbow arrow. She even said that the House of Solace and the sun god Carmone will do everything they can to manipulate people into thinking that they're the heroes. Throughout her speech, the people of Palacia then bow down to Tamheia, which causes everyone inside the city to force all of the House of Solace soldiers out, including killing those that threaten them with violence or refuse to leave. 
The next day, Ethimelle hears reports about a House of Solace base near Palacia from travelers near Palacia. Believing that they're already planning to retake Palacia and kill the people for not bowing down to Carmone, Ethimelle takes the same path where Willis and the executives, and noticed that it follows to none other than a House of Solace base of operations. Outside the base, Ethimelle tries to open the doors, but is recognized by a security system as "follower of Tamheia". Ethimelle then holds out the defensive systems and then eventually, a mecha tank weapon armed with artillery is deployed, and then additional House of Solace soldiers armed with muskets come out, that the people of Palacia will pay for refusing to bow to the sun god Carmone.
Utilizing the power of the New Moon, Tamheia unleashes a miracle that causes everyone's vision to go dark via encoating the area with darkness, causing the soldiers to panic. Then, Tamheia and Ethimelle combine forces to unleash a greater power between them; the Goddess Link, where Tamheia is able to use Ethimelle's body and combat abilities in battle. Unleashing a flurry of shadow clones, Ethimelle kills all of the House of Solace soldiers, as well as destroying the mecha tank weapon that was aiming to destroy Palacia's walls. Ethimelle then takes a House of Solace emblem from one of the fallen soldiers and then uses it to enter the House of Solace base via fooling its scanner.
Inside the base, Ethimelle finds plans about Carmone and the House of Solace aiming to globalize, or simply put, dominate the world with their religion and followers. However, just as Ethimelle was about to leave with the plans to explain to people of Palacia, a captain, who reveals his name to be Basque, states that she has no right to be in this base, and states that he is part of a new program under Carmone called the Slayers, highly advanced soldiers enhanced with Carmone's powers that aim to take down any followers of Tamheia. Ethimelle dodges every attack until it gets to a point where Basque decides to utilize the power of fire to burn the base down via causing his weapon to be blazing hot to where everything it touches burns, representing one of Carmone's powers. 
Utilizing the power of shadows, Ethimelle runs outside the base just as it catches on fire and eventually explodes. However, Basque has also survived with Carmone protecting him, which Tamheia says that the only way to stop Carmone's powers, is with her powers. Tamheia then executes Basque via invisible slashes while Ethimelle dodges through attack after attack until eventually, Basque dies and Carmone's spell on him is released. Ethimelle then returns to Palacia with the evidence regarding the House of Solace's actions. That night, the people of Palacia have made a decision, they will only worship the moon goddess Tamheia because of the evidence they found regarding Carmone's actions, which increased Tamheia's morale and further allowed her to regain some of her strength, which Tamheia says to everyone that this is only the beginning and they need to get everyone to convert to Tamheia's religion to stop Carmone once and for all. Ethimelle is then gifted the Crusader Knight armor from the guard that helped her, with Ethimelle thanking everyone. 
Ethimelle, now wearing the Crusader Knight Armor, talks with Tamheia that the next place to head right now is the desert, as a traveler stated that House of Solace activity has been seen in the desert southeast of Palacia.
===Chapter 3: Voyage===
A long journey, the travel from one place to another.
Ethimelle and Tamheia prepare to leave the city of Palacia, including getting directions on where to go from here and there. Before leaving, the representative of Palacia tells them that they cannot assist on their journey to the desert in the meantime, and that they will have to stay in Palacia to hold off incase of a counterattack by the House of Solace where they would try and retake the city. Ethimelle understands this, and says that it'll just be her and Tamheia to stop the House of Solace for now on, and these allies are only temporarily but fulfills one thing; people are gaining their faith in the moon goddess Tamheia, which Tamheia says which she'll need to stop the sun god Carmone and the House of Solace.
Ethimelle travels southeast to the desert, and keeps going and going with not even a clear sense on where to go with her sight limited. While traveling through, she comes across a herd of vultures that she and Tamheia end up fighting off after they see her as prey. However, Ethimelle gives up after continuous walking and without a clear sense of direction where to go, and sits down under a palm tree to think with Tamheia. Tamheia says that under her life link, she could provide her deeper powers from the New Moon, including the ability to run faster via shadow steps. She also says to Ethimelle the New Moon powers that she had recovered also have the ability to enhance her mobility. Ethimelle understands this, and decides to run real fast, and suddenly, Ethimelle turns into a shadow with her running speed increased, and runs through the desert. At the same time, Ethimelle is watched in the distance from a House of Solace soldier wearing spy goggles.
Ethimelle then sees a desert town that is fenced, and proceeds to calmly enter inside, not knowing if the people that are inside are either friendly or are people that are opposed to her alignment to Tamheia, the moon goddess. Entering the town gates, she asks one of the civilians inside the village what is this town, and the civilian replies that it is the Starserena Tribe, people living in the desert that worships Carmone, the sun god. Seeing this, Ethimelle proceeds to act normal and friendly to everyone in the town as much as she can to avoid provoking the people for being under the alignment of Tamheia. Ethimelle notices that there are no House of Solace soldiers in the area. Ethimelle asks someone for directions on where to meet up with the chief of the Starserena Tribe to ask them about the House of Solace, however, that person quickly realizes why Ethimelle asked that question to begin with; she's a rebel of the House of Solace and the sun god Carmone.
With how the people of Starserena are turning on her, Tamheia says to Ethimelle not to kill them, and further says that they need to find the chief of the Starserena Tribe to find out more about Carmone and the House of Solace. Ethimelle then jumps on the walls and runs through guard after guard to get to the large building, as Ethimelle figures that's where the chief is. Upon reaching the large building, Ethimelle then says to the people down that "we do not mean any form of violence, we just want answers to the House of Solace and the sun god Carmone."
Just as the citizens exclaim that they're going to kill her, a voice from inside the building tells them enough of this commotion, and then the door opens telling the citizens to calm down, put what they have down so handle it professionally. The man is revealed by one of the citizens to be Chief Jokka, a man who governs the Starserena Tribe. Jokka wants the people to explain why they are inciting a riot inside the town, where at the same time, Ethimelle drops down and reveals herself to be the former princess of Ashesta, the moon kingdom which the House of Solace attacked 100 years ago that worships the moon goddess Tamheia. Tamheia reveals herself to the people of Starserena Tribe and the mayor, stating that the Moon Seal was what kept Ethimelle alive, and that Carmone is not to be treated as the hero, as they have wronged both the city of Palacia and the kingdom of Ashesta 100 years ago and covered it all up. The people quickly understand this, but still wouldn't budge, and would still follow Carmone. Jokka tells Ethimelle to go inside the hall for a meeting.
Inside the chief's hall, Jokka says to Ethimelle that the tribe has always worshipped the sun god Carmone for years, and that they haven't been aware of their wrongdoings for years. He says the House of Solace, the most advanced people that has been giving them support to them and other cities under Carmone's religion has been the most famous people in the world, and that they didn't know the attack on Ashesta and forgot that Tamheia, the moon goddess actually existed. Ethimelle looks around the hall, seeing if they have any information regarding Carmone or Tamheia, and finds an interesting book. Both Jokka and Ethimelle look through the book of the sun god Carmone, and says that every thousand years, the sun and the moon will align which will form a solar eclipse later that same year. Tamheia says to both Jokka and Ethimelle that she was awakened by the alignment of the moon and sun and not due to some predetermined time. Ethimelle says that its too soon to worry about that solar eclipse as they still don't know what goes on during that solar eclipse. 
Outside the Starserena Tribe, a group of House of Solace soldiers enter the perimeter, and ask the people if they seen a woman that worships the moon goddess Tamheia. Some of the people state that they have no idea what they're talking about and that the town worships the sun god Carmone. However, one last person gives out the answer, which states that there's a woman talking with chief Jokka inside the town hall. Jokka then answers the door to the House of Solace soldier who asks for the woman's whereabouts, and Jokka says that she's not a threat to them. The soldier however says that the woman liberated the city of Palacia and that they're trying to make sure that Tamheia does not occupy the Starserena town. Ethimelle then sneaks out the window, concealing her sounds with the aid of Tamheia's New Moon powers and makes a run for it.
Outside the town's walls, Ethimelle is stopped by another House of Solace captain, who says that he knew that she would head over there to try and make them convert to Tamheia's religion away from Carmone. Ethimelle and the House of Solace captain get into a fight, but seeing that his armor is too strong for Ethimelle's rapier, Tamheia sees his greatsword weapon and figures that she'll give Ethimelle a new weapon; a greatsword weapon like his. While Ethimelle holds off against the captain's attack, Ethimelle gains the Eversing Balmung which while heavy, manages to hit his armor. Then, when the captain is knocked down, Ethimelle charges up a lowercut and executes the captain. Meanwhile, the House of Solace soldiers leave the town after hearing a swordfight outside and the sound of someone being killed. 
A platoon of House of Solace soldiers surround Ethimelle, where they fight them off, including blocking off their musket rifles with the Balmung. Meanwhile, the House of Solace ranger, who was watching the fight on the walls of the Starserena Tribe comes up with a plan seeing how easily Ethimelle is decimating against their troops and that she is going to try one more time to convince them to worship Tamheia, they will come up with a way of executing her while at the same time, making her unaware of it. After killing the soldiers, Ethimelle then heads back to Starserena and decides to head for the temple of Carmone to talk with the town's priestess about Carmone and Tamheia. Meanwhile, the soldier decides to plant charges around the walls underneath the sand. Jokka, who becomes suspicious of the lone soldier's actions, watches him from the distance.
Inside the temple, Ethimelle talks with Xiana, the priestess about the House of Solace. Xiana says that the sun god Carmone has always protected them, and so will his loyal followers the House of Solace. Tamheia explains to Xiana that Carmone isn't really the hero and that they've been doing everything they can to stop her, the last survivor of the moon kingdom of Ashesta. She says that if Ethimelle dies, Tamheia, the moon goddess, will also die as well. Xiana slowly begins to understand this, and figures that she'll talk with some of the people outside regarding Tamheia and Carmone. Just as both were about to leave, Jokka barges open the doors in a hurry, stating that someone is planning on bombing the temple as a way of killing Ethimelle. Everyone leaves, and just as they get outside the doors, the charges explode one by one causing the temple's ceiling to collapse. 
Outside, the people of Starserena ask who could've done this, and then a House of Solace soldier wearing goggles and was the one to place the charges and then detonated them, blames Ethimelle for this. However, everyone looks at the soldier as if they weren't fooled by it, with some people boo-ing and saying things like murderer at them. Tamheia angrily tries to execute the soldier via attempting to cut his head off with the Eversing Balmung, but dodges quickly, which Tamheia says that it was none other than a Slayer, Carmone's elite soldiers that are enhanced with his sun powers. While the people evacuate, the soldier and Ethimelle get into a fight, with the soldier being able to cast starlight, one of Carmone's sun powers. Ethimelle then blocks the stars with her balmung, and then overcomes his enhanced durability and kills him.
The people of Starserena eventually realize that the House of Solace and Carmone was resposnsible for this whole mess, and eventually, the people of Starserena convert to Tamheia's religion. Some time later just as it seemed like everything was fine, a traveler warns that an army of House of Solace soldiers is enroute to Starserena, where Ethimelle says to leave it to her and Tamheia. Outside the desert, Ethimelle stands before the army, which includes a mecha tank. Ethimelle then fights through the soldiers, and then destroys the mecha tank's hull with the Balmung. With the army dealt with quickly, Ethimelle returns to Starserena to talk with the traveler, and the traveler says that the people of Palacia are slowly spreading the word regarding what Carmone did to the moon kingdom of Ashesta 100 years ago. The traveler says that he learnt of a potential solar eclipse, but its too soon to panic over it as we don't have any information other than it being a key factor of why Ethimelle was awoken by Tamheia. He says that there is a base of operations at an island that may have more clues regarding Carmone and that solar eclipse.
Ethimelle meets with the priestess Xiana, who says that from now on, they're going to be worshipping Tamheia, the moon goddess instead of Carmone, and that when the temple is rebuilt, it will be dedicated to Tamheia and not to Carmone after they found out that they threatened to not only kill Ethimelle, but also her, the priestess via an assassination attempt that tried to be "undetectable" and outside of their awarings. At Xiana's home, Xiana says that she has a gift for Ethimelle as she talked about that the fight against Carmone continues tomorrow to an island which they're going to be set sailing to; a bikini worn by dancers that consist of a white and gold bra, and a black bikini bottom, which Xiana says that Ethimelle will need while traversing through the water, as ordinary armor like hers won't let her traverse through the ocean easily.
As night falls, Ethimelle meets with Jokka, and thanks him for saving his life and Xiana's. Jokka says that its getting late for them to do anything else, but they can continue supporting her tomorrow, including getting that ship ready to travel to that island where the House of Solace had occupied. Ethimelle then decides to temporarily settle in Xiana's home, who had room for her. Tamheia talks with Ethimelle as clouds form overnight, saying that clouds make up the powers of the Half Moon, and that clouds will play a role of on stopping the House of Solace and the sun god Carmone.
===Chapter 4: Clouds===
Particles in the sky that are made of condensed vapor in between the sky and the stars.
Rain falls over the Starserena Tribe, causing the people to stay inside. The following morning, Ethimelle talks with Xiana over the rain and the powers of the sun god Carmone, which Xiana replies that Carmone has the powers of the sun, which part of those powers include;
*Fire, the ability to create flame that burns through everything in its sight.
*Stars, or those lights in the night sky that illuminate the darkness. 
*Pollination, where the grasses are green and flowers blossom via the aid of sunlight. 
Xiana says to both her and Tamheia that still, with the followers that they're have, they're still no match for the House of Solace's highly advanced technology, given how much they evolved generation after generation since the attack on Ashesta 100 years ago. She also says that after Tamheia recovers her powers, there's still one more thing Tamheia has to do to get ready for the battle against Carmone, and that is to leave Ethimelle's body, which Tamheia says that she has to recover the Half Moon and the Full Moon powers, the powers of the clouds and the powers of ice. Xiana says that with how the House of Solace is constantly everywhere, they're going to be throwing everything they can against her and Tamheia to protect their reputation for being the greatest people, no matter what it takes. 
Ethimelle then goes outside to see the raining clouds, as Tamheia wanted to see the clouds raining as part of their mission to recover her Half Moon powers, the power of clouds and gravity. Tamheia says that the raining clouds are part of the many powers that comprise the Half Moon, as the Half Moon includes the ability to manipulate clouds, winds, and gravity. Tamheia says that what she is doing is the first steps on trying to recover her Half Moon powers. Ethimelle states that the island investigation has to be tomorrow, as it is raining and that she wants some rest for the mission. The next day, Ethimelle was getting ready to travel to that island when a report from another traveler who hurried down to the Starserena Tribe stated that the House of Solace was getting ready to retake Palacia, or simply put, they're trying to reclaim Palacia from Tamheia's followers and as payback for what Ethimelle did.
Ethimelle and Tamheia hurry to Palacia utilizing her shadow running powers. There, they find out that the gates are shut, but the soldiers are already enroute with anti-wall weapons and grappling hooks to scale against their walls. Ethimelle fights the soldiers and destroys the heavy siege weapons, including the more advanced units such as the soldiers that wield dual claw weapons. However, at the same time, a soldier had planned ahead and begun scaling the walls from another direction. Seeing that there is no way for Ethimelle to get up and catch the soldier, Tamheia says that it's time to learn the first of her Half Moon powers, the ability to summon clouds and then manipulate them. Ethimelle then rides on clouds with the aid of Tamheia's magic upward, and then chases down the soldier running through the city walls. Just as when the soldier was about to pull out his rifle and look for a target, Ethimelle then grabs him, while Tamheia assists via ensuring that the soldier doesn't move.
Ethimelle tells the House of Solace soldier to explain things for her, and that where is their base of operations at. After several attempts to trying to get the soldier to be persuaded into giving her the information, including an attempt to kill him with her rapier, the soldier speaks up and tells her that the base is located northeast into the ocean from the desert where the Starserena Tribe is, south of the mountains. After acquiring the information Ethimelle needs, Tamheia then executes the soldier herself, knowing that he'll just run off and get the others. Ethimelle then climbs down the walls and tells the people that the House of Solace threat has been eradicated, and has managed to manipulate one of the soldiers into giving them information on where to go, northeast into the ocean from the Starserena Tribe is. 
While in Palacia, Ethimelle finds out that the new leader that they've got already knows of Ethimelle and what the House of Solace did at the Starserena Tribe, including the bomb threat that aimed to kill her and Xiana, the priestess of Starserena. The new leader, who reveals to be Paul Churchill, states that after what Willis did with the House of Solace and as the new leader, that they'll always bow to the moon goddess Tamheia, and that they're already making preperations to defend the city from the next House of Solace invasion incase they try one more time to retake the city, knowing that it will not be the last time.
Ethimelle then returns to the Starserena Tribe and talks with the people to get the ship ready to travel to the island where the House of Solace base of operations is located. Ethimelle and chief Jokka find a sailor to take Ethimelle to the island, and has two guards follow along as well to patrol the ship. Arriving at the island where Ethimelle can see the building from the distance, Ethimelle explores through the island and gets into several battles against patrolling House of Solace soldiers armed with the new claw weapons. After one battle, Ethimelle decides to take one of their claws and figures it would make for a decent weapon to climb up the walls, Upon arrival at the House of Solace fortress on the island, Ethimelle, knowing that the security gates won't let her in, decides to ride upward another one of Tamheia's clouds to the roof, where Ethimelle then has Tamheia peek around for any patrolling guards, and notices that one of them has a heavy sniper rifle that can kill Ethimelle if their bullet hits her chest or face. Tamheia then utilizes the power of gravity to cause an object to tremble, knocking it into the ground. Just as the soldier with the sniper rifle walks down to investigate the fallen wrench, the object that Tamheia trembled from the wall. Ethimelle then quickly stepped behind him and then stabs him with the claws. 
At the same time, the roof doors open, which causes an alarm to go off stating that "an intruder has breached this base of operations' defenses." Ethimelle then heads downstairs and while battling the House of Solace soldiers, proceeds to look for any intel or information regarding Carmone's secret plans regarding the solar eclipse. Much to her dismay, none of the information that they saw could actually help them, except for one final document that references something about the solar eclipse. Ethimelle opens the folder and finds out that the Slayers program is a project by the House of Solace and Carmone to stop the last remaining Moon Kingdom survivor, Ethimelle, and the goddess Tamheia. She also finds out that Carmone wants to use the solar eclipse that comes naturally to his advantage, bringing an event that would make it to where only his follows would live and the world would reset afterward with Carmone coming out as the ruling god, but the document does not mention a specific date and states "when it comes, Carmone will be there for us."
Outside the base, Ethimelle is then interrupted by another Slayer, a Slayer specializing in claw weapons and being able to burn through heavy armor. While battling the Slayer, Ethimelle realizes that with their heavy armor and usage of fire, they will have to take the battle to the ocean. Ethimelle then rides on a cloud which causes the Slayer swim toward the ocean, only to realize that his heavy armor can't support him and that his claws are losing their flaming capabilities. due to the water vaporizing it. Tamheia then kills the Slayer with the power of clouds, turning him into foam while Ethimelle makes her way back to the island safely. Tamheia says that she has memorized a new weapon for Ethimelle to use, the Trinity Claws, a pair of dual claw weapons that she wields on her knuckles that consist of three blades each. 
Returning back to the base to look for the map that she can take back to find the House of Solace's whereabouts or the next base, Ethimelle finds out that the House of Solace's location is the Phoenix Havens, a major city located northeast of Palacia and east of the snowy mountains. Ethimelle then proceeds to leave the base with all of the information she needs, but at the same time, a soldier who still remained in the base decides to throw a bomb at one of the power generators to prevent her from escaping. Hurrying outside before the base explodes. into flames and ruins, Ethimelle then hurries back to the ship, only to find out that the ship has been destroyed and all three personnel have been killed by House of Solace soldiers.
Ethimelle then fights the wave of soldiers, but afterward, a House of Solace carrier plane deploys three mecha tanks armed with heavy artillery. Realizing that the three tanks are too much for her weapons and with how the skies are starting to darken, Tamheia then proceeds to unleash the power of the Half Moon, clouds that cause the three mecha tanks to be levitated into the air and serve as targets for Ethimelle. Destroying each tank via damaging them and then lifting them into the air and crashing them downward via terminal velocity, Tamheia says that the Half Moon powers are already mastered and they've got one more to go, the Full Moon. Swimming back to the shore, Ethimelle tells Jokka that the three were killed by the House of Solace, and she had to swim back herself. 
Talking with Xiana about how Tamheia recovered the Half Moon powers, Xiana says that there's one more left to go, the Full Moon powers, or the powers of ice. Xiana warns that the Full Moon powers are the most dangerous yet, as they require her and Tamheia to endure the cold up in the mountains, and they are too far for her or Jokka to support them on their journey. Ethimelle understands this, and says that the mountains are near the land of where the House of Solace is settled in according to map she had found; the Atum Havens, a city more famous than Palacia and represents the Sun Kingdom. Xiana says that with how huge the Atum Havens is, the followers of Tamheia aren't enough to overtake Carmone, as Carmone doesn't just has his sun powers, he, as a religion, has already enough followers to easily win against Tamheia. Night falls with Ethimelle heading to sleep still in the same house where Xiana is settled.
===Chapter 5: Infiltration===
The act of entering in a place in a fashion unwanted by those occupying it, the capture of territory.
The following morning, Ethimelle goes for a swim in the desert oasis to relax herself and give her a break from the frantic pace that she has been going against the House of Solace and the sun god Carmone, including going on a yoga session outside on the grass as well. Afterward, Ethimelle returns to Xiana's house, where she prepares both of them meals, as Ethimelle hasn't eaten for since yesterday noon. Xiana says to Ethimelle that whenever she, herself goes swimming to the oasis or in the ocean, she would wear that similar bikini that Ethimelle wore to the oasis as well, as wearing heavy armor makes it more difficult to swim naturally. Ethimelle talks about how today, she is going to aim to head to the mountains to recover Tamheia's Full Moon powers, where she will travel northeast of Palacia to head to the mountains. 
Ethimelle then bids farewell to Xiana for her help, leaves the Starserena Tribe packing whatever things she needs, and then returns to Palacia, switching to her Crusader Knight outfit. At Palacia, Ethimelle talks with the people how she found out the House of Solace's headquarters, the Atum Havens is just northeast of Palacia, and east of the Edda Mountains. The leader, Churchill says that the Atum Havens far outmatches everyone, and its too soon to wage a war against them as they'll easily be decimated by them with the support of the sun god Carmone. Churchill says that even with the proper training and conscription to fight off the House of Solace soldiers, waging war with all possible allies and followers of the moon goddess Tamheia against Carmone is just too costly and is made even worse with Tamheia still in a weakened state. Ethimelle says that she's planning on heading to the cold Edda Mountains to have Tamheia recover the Full Moon powers, the power of ice to Churchill, which Churchill says that she's on her own, as the people of Palacia aren't interested in helping her.
While leaving the gates of Palacia, Ethimelle notices a mysterious man dressed in a tuxedo that has a House of Solace insignia, and decides to follow him through an alley undetected, including getting out the way just as the man looked around, and went into a hidden underground passage that lead into a downstairs passage. Heading downstairs, Ethimelle notices that this wasn't just an ordinary sewer passage, this was an underground establishment constructed by the House of Solace to connect Palacia to the Atum Havens. Ethimelle then explores through the sewer passage, though having already lost track of the tuxedo man. Ethimelle comes across many locked doors, but one of them eventually unlocks to reveal the same tuxedo man, which Ethimelle then pins down with her claw weapon pulled toward him.
The tuxedo man demands that Ethimelle ceases all forms of violence toward him, as he, a House of Solace diplomat, means no harm at all and was just going through the passageway between Atum Havens and Palacia. Ethimelle then asks him back what was he doing in Palacia, which the diplomat replies that he was trying to get people to worship Carmone, but none of the people budged, so he went into the underground passage to safely head back to the House of Solace underground base with his reports via the transport cart, which requires authentication. The diplomat then further demands that Ethimelle let him go, or else she'll face dire consequences. Ethimelle then stabs the diplomat, but as it turns out, the diplomat wasn't just an ordinary gentleman associated with the House of Solace, he was another one of those Slayers, the people that Carmone selects to be enhanced with his sun powers. After a tough battle, where the diplomat became resistant to most of her weapons, the diplomat in a wounded state, states that no matter what they'll do, they cannot stop Carmone's road to supremacy, and that the battleship will be enroute to the Starserena Tribe. Ethimelle asks what is the battleship he is talking about, which he faintly replies is their biggest attempt to take control of the Starserena Tribe as payback for what they did to the House of Solace base of operations, before eventually dying. 
With the information needed, Ethimelle then alerts Churchill about a battleship heading for the Starserena Tribe tonight and the diplomat from the underground sewer tunnels, which Churchill says that his Palacia guards will handle it. Ethimelle runs back to the Starserena Tribe and warns Jokka, the chief of the Starserena Tribe that a battleship is enroute to the Starserena Tribe, Jokka says that if this battleship actually exists, the plan is to have Ethimelle herself swim to the battleship's hull, scale to the deck and fight her way through the ship. He further says that diving underwater is the only option, as there will be patroling guards ensuring that no intruders will board on deck. Understanding these instructions and on how Ethimelle has already some experience in swimming, Ethimelle figures that the dancer's bikini that Xiana gave her would be the best solution to storm that ship, as the knight uniform wouldn't help her swim to the battleship from the shore. Ethimelle then rests up in Xiana's house while waiting for night to fall.
That night, rain falls and Ethimelle heads for the shore to where the House of Solace battleship can be seen in the ocean. Ethimelle, readying herself, dives underwater with great speed, and with some endurance provided by Tamheia's powers, she huddles herself to the hull, where from there, she has to scale the hull upward to the deck, and then battle her way through the ship's interior. Realizing that Tamheia cannot summon clouds underwater as they'll dissipate, combined with the heavy rain, Ethimelle summons out her Trinity Claws to scale up the hull via puncturing it, doing some slight damage to the hull but via concealing the noise with the aid of Tamheia's powers. Being careful not to slip off the claws from the rain, Ethimelle then climbs on the deck and battles the two patrolling soldiers armed with assault rifles and heavy armor, which Ethimelle then heads for the door leading downstairs into the third floor of the battleship, battling through waves of soldiers, including a new soldier that specializes in flail type weapons, armed with a spiked morning star meant to pierce through armor.
In one room, Ethimelle looks through documents and notices that there is another base of operations occupied in between the Atum Havens and Palacia, and a base of operations located in Edda Mountains, labeled a "key lair." While looking for any other information she would need, she finds out that Carmone has been training more and more enhanced Slayers, and is getting closer to mastering a new ability that would allow mortals to easily kill Tamheia, his very own weapons that humans can use. Realizing that there's more soldiers enroute, Ethimelle leaves and heads to the next floor, which reveals to be a quarter where the House of Solace soldiers would stay in, and the other room being the armory consisting of assault rifles, snipers. However, climbing back up, Ethimelle meets a man who knows her name, which he reveals to be Lieutenant Iago.
Iago says that he has been working under the House of Solace, and he already knows she is none other than Ethimelle, the princess of Ashesta that managed to survive the invasion 100 years ago with the aid of the moon goddess Tamheia. He further says that he is going to be promoted if he manages to kill Ethimelle and Tamheia and end their futile resistance against them. Ethimelle and Iago get into a fight, with Iago utilizing melee weapons and superior enhanced capabilities powered by the sun god Carmone. However, Ethimelle doesn't get to kill Iago, as he says that this battleship will be her deathbed for raiding it. Ethimelle then heads back on deck, realizing that this could be a deathtrap for her. At the same time, Iago then casts a fire on the ship's reactor, overloading it and then rushes back up and gets ready for a second fight. Iago then bails out of the fight, saying that its time for her to die, Ethimelle seeing how the ship went through explosion from that reactor's destruction, runs for it and dives into the ocean, but not before slipping on her bare feet and losing her balance, causing her to hit her body on a deck beam and flop into the ocean unconscious. 
Iago, who had been watching her, states via a prayer to Carmone to take him back to base while informing him that both Ethimelle and Tamheia are terminated, and in response, Carmone teleports Iago in a flash of light. The scene then shows Iago getting a promotion from the Atum Havens' leader, Avonn, who congratulated him on ending the pitiful resistance of Ethimelle and the moon goddess Tamheia, and plans on holding a parade for him in two days. Carmone, the sun god smiles upon him, and states that after that parade celebrating their victory, they will eventually start retaking Palacia and the Starserena Tribe once they find out that their moon goddess is dead forever.
Meanwhile, Ethimelle, who is underwater unconscious, Tamheia realizes that there's not a chance Tamheia will let Ethimelle die like that, so with all of her strength and courage, she manages to leave Ethimelle's body and then carries her to the shore. Ethimelle then wakes up at the shore, noticing that Tamheia, now in her physical form, is laying on the shore unconscious, with Tamheia saying that she couldn't afford for Ethimelle to die, so she protected her while taking her to shore, and the same time, Tamheia also gifted her with the ability to breathe underwater, allowing her to dive underwater freely. Ethimelle and Tamheia hold hands together, and Tamheia reverts back to her spiritual form, back into Ethimelle's body where she can recover for a bit after the incident.
2 days later, Ethimelle is recovering back at Xiana's house, who stated that she found her at shore, and that the ship was already destroyed. Ethimelle says that there was a man, a man named Iago, who was assigned by the sun god Carmone to kill her and Tamheia. She also said that Tamheia had prevented her from dying via leaving her body and taking her to the shore safe and sound. Xiana says that Tamheia leaving Ethimelle's body is going to be the most important part regarding to the fight against Carmone, as Tamheia needs to be on the same level as Carmone if they want to fight him and the House of Solace. After the talk with Xiana, Ethimelle then talks with Tamheia, stating that they're going to the Edda Mountains to recover the Full Moon phase. Xiana also says that those clothes, including the dancers' bikini and the knight clothes won't be fit for the Edda Mountains, and that they need proper mountaining gear to scale through those mountains. Ethimelle says that they'll find someone who can help them at the Edda Mountains or somehere else. 
Returning to Palacia, back in her knight clothes, Ethimelle then heads northeast to get ready for the voyage to the Edda Mountains, but before that, they are confronted by another army that was planning on retaking Palacia now that Ethimelle and Tamheia are dead, but as it turned out, Iago was wrong about Ethimelle's death and that Iago jumped to conclusions too soon. Ethimelle then fights them off, and says that it's time to go to Edda Mountains, and that there's no preventing Tamheia from reaching her fullest potential.
===Chapter 6: Hail===
When rain freezes causing it to become frozen, frozen raindrops from the clouds above.
Ethimelle and Tamheia travel to the Edda Mountains, located east of the Atum Havens. However, on their way there, they are stopped by a fortified garrison consisting of House of Solace soldiers, who tell her that Ethimelle is not to enter the Edda Mountains. Ethimelle says that she doesn't have time for conversations, and that she needs to go there for an urgent task. Knowing that Ethimelle would have to fight, Ethimelle battles through the garrison while dodging her way against soldiers with sniper rifles and various weaponry. After destroying the garrison, one last House of Solace soldier proceeds to head back to the Atum Havens, where there, he alerts them that Ethimelle is still alive and that they're heading to Edda Mountains. Ethimelle then continues forward to the Edda Mountains and there, it becomes very cold, so cold that Ethimelle knows that going up there would put her at risk of hypothermia.
Ethimelle then finds a village in the lowlands, and looks for someone that could help her get to the top of the Edda Mountains. There, she finds a man named Jan, who says that the people don't want to travel up there because its too cold and there's nothing but an abandoned city there. Ethimelle says that she needs to go there to assist the moon goddess, Tamheia, into recovering her powers. Jan, after some explanation from Tamheia, gives her a Snow Ranger outfit, a winter parka with heavy trousers and boots. After finding everything she needs, Ethimelle then proceeds to enter the Edda Mountain highlands. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Iago is angry upon finding out that Ethimelle is still alive and has managed to survive being drowned with the aid of Tamheia's powers, and upon seeing that the garrison is destroyed and that Ethimelle is enroute to the peaks of Edda Mountains, which was the location of another city that worshipped the moon goddess Tamheia, proceeds to send a special force called the HOS-884 Flying Fortress, a specialized plane armed with bombs and homing missiles to head for the Edda Mountains to look for Ethimelle and kill her.
Ethimelle then traverses through the snowy mountains, fighting through polar bears and werewolves with limited vision and high winds. Ethimelle keeps going and going, and then stops on the ground after realizing that the cold is preventing her from going any further. Tamheia says to Ethimelle that the Full Moon powers represent the powers of frost, and Ethimelle's body has to be exposed to the elements so that Tamheia can resonate with the cold weather, as its one part of recovering the Full Moon powers. Ethimelle keeps going, and fights off an apex werewolf which she defeats via performing one of Tamheia's Full Moon powers, the ability to transfer one's coldness to the other till they die of frostbite. After freezing the apex werewolf, Tamheia says that the key factor of mastering the power of frost is to be persistent against the coldness and learn how to withstand the risk of being frozen.
Climbing up and up, Ethimelle finds an abandoned city in ruins, which Tamheia says that it used to be a city that worshipped the moon goddess; herself, and was attacked by the House of Solace 100 years ago as part of their initative to make Carmone the supreme god. Ethimelle investigates the ruins, and finds things like broken statues with heads, arms, etc cut off, damaged monuments, and one thing that was left behind, a damaged oriental hand fan that would've been used to blow wind. Seeing the hand fan, Tamheia proceeds to give Ethimelle a replica of that hand fan so that she could propel wind, Ethimelle then finds a secret passage that the House of Solace didn't notice before, and proceeds to go through it, hoping to find some more answers on where to go.
Ethimelle then battles a giant spider that had already established a colony in there, where as part of the training to recover the Full Moon powers, Tamheia proceeds to have them freeze to death via having them succumb to the cold winds that Ethimelle blows through them wiht the Wind Fan. Exploring through the cellar, Ethimelle then finds a locked closet, and there, they find a dusty robe which was worn by the priests that represent the moon goddess Tamheia at her finest church there. Looking through the inscription, the word "Priest of Xen" is written, representing that the ruins were of the city Xen. Ethimelle then proceeds to change into the robe through the changing room with the curtain, and then comes out of the cellar, wearing Tamheia's Garb. Tamheia says that there's still that peak of the Edda Mountains to reach, and says that the plan is to have her meditate on the highest peak of the Edda Mountains, as its already approaching nightfall and there is supposed to be a full moon that night. 
Howeever, en route to the peak, Ethimelle is interrupted by the sound of a machine gun firing, and sees that there is a House of Solace plane, which the pilot then says "Drop your weapons and surrender. This is your first and final warning.", which Ethimelle says back to the pilot that she'll never surrender to the House of Solace, and the pilot then says that "execution will be your only option." Ethimelle then dodges the plane's weapons, including machine guns and bombs, which the bombs causes the mountain's structure to get damaged over time. After realizing that there is no room to damage the plane and that the bow is already ineffective against the plane's heavy armor, Tamheia comes up with an idea, and that is, she'll have Ethimelle unleash the Full Moon powers to cause the plane's engine to freeze and result in the pilot losing control of the plane. 
Ethimelle then awakens the Full Moon powers after performing a relaxing breath, and with the Wind Fan, proceeds to cast arctic winds that cause the plane's windshield to fog up. The fog causes the pilot to become disoriented and unable to attack, and realized that the radiator gauge is already on the "too cold" warning, proceeds to jump out of the plane once the ice begun to rupture through the plane's hull, with the plane falling down on the lowlands near the lowland village and exploding into pieces. The pilot becomes enraged, with him turning into a Slayer that specializes in flames. Ethimelle then uses her Full Moon powers to cause the pilot's flame to melt with the ice, and then reflecting his flame with Tamheia's ice, causes his body to burn internally.
With the plane destroyed and the pilot dead, Ethimelle then proceeds to the peak of the Edda Mountains, and begins to meditate on the full moon over the Edda Mountains with her eyes closed. During the meditation, the cold wind becomes encapsulated over Ethimelle's body, and then Tamheia casts a beam of light over Ethimelle from the full moon. Ethimelle then comes out with her eyes glowing cyan, and says that it is finished; Tamheia's powers are all recovered. Tamheia says that even though all of Tamheia's powers have been recovered, including the ability to manipulate the coldness to their advantage and the light of the Full Moon, there's still one last part to go and the hardest part; where Tamheia has to let go of sharing Ethimelle's body and function on her own. Tamheia says that the last time she had to leave her body was when she had to save her from drowning into the ocean after a rushed escape from the House of Solace battleship, which with her incomplete state; her range was not unlimited and that she could only be close to Ethimelle under that life link. She says that the most riskiest part of the release is making sure that Ethimelle can still be alive by the time Tamheia is able to leave Ethimelle's body for good. Ethimelle says that she has been doing very well and has been healthy since the time Tamheia saved her life. 
Tamheia additionally says that while resonating with the full moon's energy, she has also analyzed the stars and says that Carmone's solar eclipse, where the moon overshadows the sun, is due in 10 days and Carmone's plan is where he'll crash the sun under the moon and to kill Tamheia and all who bows against her while protecting himself and his followers, where the old world will end, and if Tamheia dies to Carmone, he will take her moon powers and become omnipotent, but it'll be viceversa; if Tamheia succeeds in killing Carmone, she takes his sun powers and will become omnipotent as well. Ethimelle says that there's only one last place to go, the Atum Havens to battle against the House of Solace, look for clues regarding the Solar Eclipse and how to get ready for the final battle against Carmone, but says that she wants to return to the lowlands village to tell them what they found.
Returning to the village, Ethimelle found nothing but bad news; the people of the village, including Jan, have seen the House of Solace plane crash and are proclaiming her "murderer" and "killer". Ethimelle says that it was for self-defense and that the House of Solace were the ones responsible for what they did to the moon kingdom of Ashesta and the city of Xen up in the Edda Mountains, but the people don't believe her, and with Carmone possessing the people to become Slayers, proceed to turn against her. Ethimelle figures that towards these kind of people that have been nice to her, violence is the only answer. Ethimelle fights them off with the Full Moon powers, freezing them. After killing the people that had been possessed by Carmone, Ethimelle then finds one last man who refuses to attack Ethimelle, which causes Ethimelle to look back and feel guilty for what she said.
The man tells her that the village worshipped the sungod Carmone and supported the House of Solace to avoid being attacked by them. He further says that once something is done, it cannot be undone forever. Ethimelle and Tamheia understand this, and with the man, they proceed to bury the people that they've killed with wooden crosses in the snowy lowlands of the Edda Mountains, honoring those that were possessed by the sun god Carmone to kill Ethimelle for assisting those that bowed against him. Ethimelle cries over what she had done, but angrily follows up that Carmone will surely pay for those actions, and that there's only one last place to go to put an end to this; the Atum Havens.
===Chapter 7: Truth===
A true statement, what actually happened behind the scenes.
Leaving the village after burying the people that Ethimelle killed, Ethimelle and the man from the village return to Palacia, where the man proceeds to part ways with Ethimelle. At Palacia, Ethimelle meets up with Churchill to discuss what to do regarding the Atum Havens, and Churchill says that the Atum Havens is too strong to withstand a full-fledged invasion from them, as the House of Solace already has tons of defenses put in against their attacks, and says that only her and Tamheia are capable of standing a chance against the Atum Havens and the House of Solace. Ethimelle, knowing that there's more to do before infiltrating the Atum Havens, decides to head on down to the Starserena Tribe to visit Xiana.
Upon visiting the Starserena Tribe, Ethimelle finds out that Xiana, the priestess that had helped her, has been missing. Looking for answers, she learns that Xiana was taken by House of Solace soldiers that other day while Ethimelle left for the Edda Mountains, and that there was nothing that they can do for her, as the House of Solace is already too strong for them, which meant waging any form of attack would end in futility. Knowing that at this point, there was pretty much no one to help her or out of ideas, Ethimelle then heads for the last area that she knows about for more information on where to go or what to do, the village of Dovek, which she hasn't went back since heading for Palacia for at least a week.
At the village of Dovek, Ethimelle asks someone if they've seen any House of Solace activity going on, which someone says that they've heard House of Solace activity from the direction which Ethimelle remembers was the way they came since she reawakened from the Moon's Seal that Tamheia cast on her 100 years ago. Heading towards the direction back where they came from the beginning, Tamheia talks with Ethimelle about the important process of releasing Tamheia from the life link, and that with all of her powers nearly recovered, she can get ready for the release process. With both Ethimelle and Tamheia agreeing, both of them proceed to end the life link with Tamheia materializing, but Tamheia suddenly notices that Ethimelle is slowly fainting, and falls unconscious. Worrying that she might've killed Ethimelle, Tamheia proceeds to heal Ethimelle, and notices her heart is beating very slowly. Tamheia realizes that despite regaining all of her moon powers, she is still in an incomplete state and that during that Moon's Seal which was interrupted 100 years ago as Tamheia had to save Ethimelle in a last ditch effort; some of Ethimelle's life force ended up being binded with her also. Tamheia proceeds to restart the life link between them, and Ethimelle slowly recovers.
Tamheia explains to Ethimelle that she tried to leave her body forever, but she didn't realize that she was still in an incomplete state and Ethimelle's body had its life force entirely tied to her, and that if anything, the arrow from 100 years ago should've killed Ethimelle and if it weren't for her intervention, Ethimelle wouldn't still be alive. Ethimelle says that she managed to live for at least some time after the Moon's Seal, Tamheia says that there's some more to go before Tamheia can successfully leave Ethimelle's body for good and get ready for the fight against the sun god Carmone. Both Ethimelle and Tamheia continue forward into the forest and find a cracked stone wall, which Ethimelle destroys with her Titan Greatmace, and then enters it.
Entering the passageway and then climbing upward, Ethimelle finds a House of Solace base and proceeds to raid the base for more answers regarding the solar eclipse and Carmone. After fighting through the soldiers, one last soldier, who is near death, radios that Ethimelle is killing all of the soldiers, before Ethimelle then shoots the soldier to death with her bow. Ethimelle finds several books that mention all about the solar eclipse, but realizing that it would take her too long to read the books, Tamheia has an idea; she could use the ability to read real fast and once everything is done, Tamheia could give her the information she needs. Basically, Tamheia could analyze the books at an ultra-fast speed, save it to her memory, and then discuss with the information to the people when they get back. At the same time, House of Solace bombers proceed to deploy time bombs at the base to prevent Ethimelle from escaping.
Tamheia hears that there are soldiers bombing the base, and tells Ethimelle to hurry. Upon running for the exit just in time the base explodes. Ethimelle then fights off the soldiers, before passing out and fainting due to the excessive combat and stress stemming from Tamheia's failed release. 
Ethimelle then wakes up, now in a white prisoner's dress with her ankle tied to a metal ball. Looking around, she sees that there's a House of Solace soldier with an assault rifle watching her, who warns her that if she continues to threaten him, bullets will be fired. Ethimelle remains calm and waits for the next thing that is bound to happen, where Ethimelle then finds herself in a colosseum where Lieutenant Iago, who she fought on the battleship, is her opponent, and that the Atum Havens people are cheering on him, Avonn, the announcer tells everyone that "this is the last princess of the moon kingdom Ashesta, and the last follower of Tamheia, the Moon Goddess.", and tells everyone that once Lieutenant Iago kills Ethimelle, Carmone will become the supreme god.
Ethimelle and Tamheia become angry at this announcement, and seeing that Iago is charging at them with his own Angelic Artillery, powered by Carmone himself, end up in a virtually equal fight. Suddenly, Iago puts Ethimelle at near death with bleeding wounds, and in response, Tamheia leaves Ethimelle's body to attack Iago, stating that "Ashesta was destroyed because of yo, the sun god Carmone, and the House of Solace." However, the people in the audience laught at this, which causes Tamheia herself to become incredibly angry. Tamheia in response proceeds to conjure out one of the most feared weapons to mankind; the Moon Scythe. Tamheia then proceeds to attack through Iago's defenses with the scythe, and slits his throat, causing him to bleed out to death, exclaiming that she will not forgive everything that happened at Ashesta 100 years ago and how the House of Solace tried to cover it up.
After saving Ethimelle, both of them make an escape through the colosseum while battling through House of Solace soldiers. Finding an armor that wasn't worn, Ethimelle takes it to replace her prisoner's dress. Running through the Atum Havens, Ethimelle then fights off the soldiers, as people slowly begin to see one thing about Ethimelle; she is sparing the townspeople, but not the House of Solace soldiers. When asked by one person, Ethimelle says that she is fighting for the moon goddess Tamheia, and that they were the ones responsible for what happened to the moon kingdom Ashesta 100 years ago. Ethimelle then proceeds to head for the House of Solace capital tower in Atum Havens, and aims to find the monarch Avonn.
Fighting through the capital tower, Ethimelle finds Avonn at the chamber. Ethimelle says to her angrily that they are the ones responsible for invasion on Ashesta 100 years ago and managed to cover it up. Avonn doesn't buy this, stating that the Ashesta has been evil. Ethimelle then slaps Avonn in the face angrily, stating that she has had enough of these lies and pretending that they're the heroes when in actuality, they're not. Avonn, becoming enhanced with the Slayers' power under Carmone, says that if they can't end this conversation in peace, he has no other choic but to kill her. Ethimelle and Avonn get into a fight, where Avonn uses his power of light under Carmone to attack Ethimelle. With Avonn injured after several successful blows, Ethimelle proceeds to cut Avonn's head off with the scythe, and says that there's still one last thing to do. 
Locking the doors to make sure that no one else comes in, Ethimelle activates the intercom that goes through the entire Atum Havens and has Tamheia speak into it. Tamheia says through the speaker introducing herself at first as the moon goddess, and that the House of Solace were the ones responsible for killing dozens of people and destroying the moon kingdom Ashesta and several other cities that followed the moon goddess Tamheia 100 years ago. She also says that they did everything they coudl to cover up all traces of the so called invasions, and that in the upcoming week, Carmone is going to stage a solar eclipse that is going to destroy everything, except for his followers. The townspeople who had been listening to Tamheia's speech, slowly begin to understand what's going on and the reaason why Ethimelle refused to attack the townspeople at all; she was wanting everyone to know the truth about what happened to her and the moon goddess Tamheia.
In response, the townspeople of the Atum Havens begin to riot, with many of the townspeople turning on the House of Solace soldiers once it became clear to them that the House of Solace were the ones that nearly killed Ethimelle and Tamheia, the moon goddess 100 years ago. With many House of Solace soldiers overwhelmed at the time, the soldiers begin to turn on the sun god Carmone for making them pose as the good guys when in reality, they are not. Carmone, from his royal city of Solsun, says that Tamheia has done it this time, and that there's only one last thing to do as Tamheia refuses to move the moon to commence the solar eclipse early, and that is; killing Tamheia and Ethimelle so he can take her moon powers.
Upon leaving the first floor, Carmone appears in front of Ethimelle and Tamheia, who says that he has had enough of their meddling. He offers Ethimelle one last chance;
"Do you bow to her, or-"
While Carmone was asking Ethimelle, he is then interrupted by Tamheia slashing him with the scythe, stating that she has had enough pulling of her hair. Carmone then proceeds to fight Ethimelle and Tamheia, stating that violence will be the only answer since they both chose not to bow to him. The scene then changes to where Tamheia is the one being controlled against the sun god Carmone. After a battle that spans across multiple floors and destroying the whole capital tower, Tamheia injures Carmone, dealing some damage to him. Carmone then says that no one can stop upcoming solar eclipse, and then teleports away back to Solsun. Tamheia then says that the battle isn't over yet, and that there's still Carmone's last stand.
With all of the townspeople gathering near Ethimelle and Tamheia. Tamheia proceeds to explain the entirety of the solar eclipse, it is a natural phenomenon that spans across thousands of years where both of the sun and moon aligning together. At first, the solar eclipse turns everything to darkness as the the moon obstructs the view of the sun, and Carmone's master plan with the sun is that he is going to crash the sun down on the moon to hit the land, while casting a spell that aims to protect all of his followers to ensure that when he comes out, he will also kill Tamheia and everyone else that bowed against Carmone, and become omnipotent via absorbing Tamheia's powers. She also warns everyone that the solar eclipse's effects, including where the part where Tamheia is vulnerable to its apocalyptic effects, cannot be stopped as the planets align naturally and won't be altered. When Tamheia was asked on whether or not she can move the moon away from the sun, Tamheia says that she is still under a life link within Ethimelle and that there's still one last thing to do before getting ready for the fight against Carmone, and that is, leaving Ethimelle's body for good and restoring her to before what happened 100 years ago. 
That night, while everyone was sleeping, another wave of House of Solace soldiers approach the Atum Havens and proceed to look for Ethimelle and Tamheia. Finding Ethimelle in a house sleeping via its scanner, they, alongside a heavy assassin robot, proceed to bomb the walls, and seeing Ethimelle sleeping, the robot proceeds to fire a machine gun, but a barrier forms over it. The soldier realizes that Tamheia was protecting her even in her sleep, and Ethimelle gets out of bed clad in her shirt and boyshorts, pulling out a scythe weapon. Seeing that the robot is too strong and that they don't want to awaken the people of the Atum Havens, Ethimelle proceeds to leave the city through the gatehouse leading to the direction where Solsun is.
Battling the heavy robot armed with heavy artillery, Ethimelle begins to notice that the robot's barrier is powered by Carmone's magic, and that only Tamheia's powers could pierce through it. Tamheia conjures an arctic wind that causes the robot to eventually freeze, but it regenerates itself via Carmone's power of fire. After standing off between wave after wave of soldiers with the robot still fighting, Tamheia proceeds to unleash one of her stronger powers, where she overpowers the robot via causing the hull to fracture via zero kelvin temperatures, which Ethimelle pulls out the Titan Greatmace and smashes it to pieces. 
After destroying the robot, a woman dressed in House of Solace armor then congratulates Ethimelle for destroying the robot, which Ethimelle begins to slowly recognize as none other than Xiana, the woman that was missing from the Starserena Tribe. Xiana doesn't believe that Ethimelle recognizes her, and then proceeds to get into a fight, with Xiana summoning out two katanas with the power of flora. Ethimelle and Xiana get into a fight, and then after a charge towards each other, Ethimelle then wounds Xiana with her claws, causing her to slow down. Ethimelle then removes the goggles off Xiana, where she recognizes her as Ethimelle, the last follower of Xiana, and begs for Ethimelle to make things right after what the House of Solace did to her. Ethimelle says that they still got time, which Tamheia proceeds to try and heal Xiana's wounded body with her powers, but it was too late, with Xiana dying from the wounds Ethimelle inflicted. Ethimelle then proceeds to bury Xiana outside where they fought, stating that tomorrow, she and Tamheia will avenge her.
Returning to the Atum Havens, some people have already noticed that the house has been damaged, which people state that there was a robot that attacked the city and tried to kill Ethimelle. Tamheia says to everyone that Carmone and the remaining House of Solace are up to no good, and that they're doing everything they can to retake the Atum Havens. She states that tomorrow, she and Ethimelle are going to get into Solsun and do everything they can to assemble everyone to get ready for the final battle against Carmone.
===Chapter 8: Release===
The process of letting go a person or freeing them from their restraints.
The next day, Ethimelle gets ready to head to Solsun, the city where Carmone, the sun god is located. Traveling through the meadows and seeing the iconic city that according to the sign and the map is none other than Solsun, Ethimelle proceeds to enter, but a dome barrier prevents her from going further. Tamheia says that barrier was meant to keep all hostile beings out, and it recognizes her as a hostile being. She also says that even wearing the House of Solace armor that she stole would not fool the dome, as it is capable of detecting her magical powers, as Tamheia tried breaking through the barrier with her own powers, but couldn't even make a dent. She says that this barrier was created by Carmone, and Carmone is already in a complete state, unlike her, Tamheia, which means that Carmone's powers are already exceeding her own strengths right now. Ethimelle thinks of an idea and figures that there must be some way to slide through the barrier. 
Ethimelle investigates the area around the city of Solsun, and finds another House of Solace base near Solsun where she proceeds to explore it, only to set off several defensive robots armed with heavy artillery. After destroying the robots, Ethimelle finds a reactor that holds Carmone's Slayer energy, which Ethimelle believes that she could use to slide through the barrier. Tamheia proceeds to absorb the energy and puts it in a neutral state so that she can hold onto it until they're ready to slide past the barrier. Ethimelle then returns to the entrance of the gates of Solsun, and with Carmone's Slayer energy being prepared by Tamheia, manages to slide past Carmone's protective barrier via fooling it into thinking that Ethimelle is recognized under Carmone's side, and escalates the walls of Solsun as the gates were already shut. 
Ethimelle then looks around Solsun, and notices that the people of Solsun are recognizing her as Ethimelle, the last of the moon kingdom Ashesta. Upon noticing the "wanted dead" posters of her in the area, Ethimelle knows that these townspeople are trouble and seeing that Solsun is none other than Carmone's capital city, there is no converting them to Tamheia's side. However, the people then become enhanced with Carmone's powers, including his own equivalent of Angelic Artillery that allows them to conjure weapons to fight against Ethimelle. Ethimelle battles through the city and looking through a map, finds the location for the House of Solace HQ established in Solsun, and proceeds to go there. 
Upon storming the House of Solace HQ in Solsun, Ethimelle kills all of the soldiers inside with her weapons and Tamheia's powers. Upon looking for clues, Ethimelle finds on a calendar that they're only 4 days left before Carmone's solar eclipse commences, and that its at a rate that they'll never be able to stop it in time until Tamheia can figure out how to safely leave Ethimelle's body behind without killing her or Tamheia. She then finds another document talking about Carmone's Slayer project, stating that its finally perfected and that there's only one subject to put this through; "Princess Ethimelle von Ashesta-Johari"; herself, alongside with the moon goddess Tamheia. The document also says that with the newly perfected Slayer formula for Ethimelle, there is no way for the moon goddess Tamheia to resist it, and once Ethimelle becomes consumed by the Slayer formula, she and Tamheia will both die, becoming possessed by Carmone for their executions, which will follow up with their deaths and Carmone taking Tamheia's moon powers and becoming omnipotent.
Ethimelle then fights her way through the roof-top, dodging through ranged attacks while fighting her way out of Solsun. Just outside of the barrier, Ethimelle is then stopped by the last House of Solace lieutenant, Kani. Kani says that the House of Solace will not accept anymore attempts to stop them and the sun god Carmone from commencing the solar eclipse, which causes them both to get into a battle. During said battle, Ethimelle and Tamheia have been unable to land considerable damage on Kani, as Carmone's latest Slayer formula causes his wounds to regenerate very fast. Tamheia realizes that there's a solution, that she has been managed to convert some of Carmone's Slayer formula that she had used to slide past the protective barrier into her own blue energy. Tamheia, transforming out of her spiritual form away from Ethimelle's body, proceeds to cast her own energy towards Kani, causing Carmone's Slayer formula to weaken as the resistances fight against Tamheia's intrusion with her own energy, and at the same time, Ethimelle proceeds to land a wound that causes him to bleed considerably, rendering him unable to move. At the same time, more soldiers proceed to defend Kani, which Ethimelle proceeds to battle off while Tamheia tries to get Kani's Slayer formula to cease functioning.
After a wave of soldiers, Tamheia finally extracts Carmone's Slayer formula and transfers it from Kani to herself, and then Tamheia proceeds to cast a beam of light on him, freezing him, followed by shattering him to icicle pieces. Ethimelle then returns to the Atumn Havens, who states that most of the House of Solace has already been killed, but as it turns out, the House of Solace was only just the least of the problems, as Carmone has already figured out how to augment his followers to easily take down Ethimelle and Tamheia, including all of their followers. Tamheia said that she'll work on learning how to utilize Carmone's slayer formula to their advantage, and figure out how to share her powers with her followers. Night falls, and Ethimelle goes to bed to rest up for the next battle to investigate further into Solsun.
The next day, with only 3 days remaining before the solar eclipse, Ethimelle then proceeds to head back to Solsun, but before she could enter the city, she is stopped by wave after wave of the Solsun militia, already enhanced with Carmone's powers. Ethimelle ends up fighting wave after wave of militia enhanced with Carmone's powers, to the point where she eventually becomes exhausted and unable to fight. Suddenly, she hears a woman's voice stating to the people not to kill her, and states that they've got a project for her. Tamheia tries to intervene with her own powers, but is stopped by the militia overpowering Ethimelle's body and putting her into a protective coffin that keeps Tamheia's powers sealed.
Ethimelle is then taken to a House of Solace laboratory where several researchers begin preparing Carmone's grand experiment; applying the Slayer's formula into Ethimelle. Ethimelle tries to reason with the researchers, stating that she wants to be free and that Carmone's plan is no good for both her and the moon goddess Tamheia. The chief researcher, Xerxes, states to her that there are rules in the real world that she has to follow, and in the real world, there's no such thing as friends or good guys, and that she should've just given up on her pointless crusade to kill Carmone just because of the moon goddess Tamheia, stating that she should've rather let her die to the sun god Carmone and let him take her powers, which causes Tamheia to become angry at this. After a bit of banter, Xerxes asks everyone to commence the experiment and inject Ethimelle with Carmone's slayers formula. Just as Carmone's Slayer formula proceeds to take control of Ethimelle's body and try to kill Tamheia, the screen then fades to white.
Tamheia then wakes up in the moon kingdom of Ashesta, before it was destroyed 100 years ago, She proceeds to walk through but finds most of the houses empty. Tamheia says to herself that they were going to inject the Slayer formula into Ethimelle, and suddenly, this; Ashesta 100 years ago. Via exploring, she hears voices such as "You have no right to be the Goddess of the Moon" and "Carmone will be the supreme god forever". Inside the alternate realm, Tamheia slowly regenerates her powers, including the ability to hover and cast moon beams with her palms. Tamheia then finds a portal which she enters through, and as it turns out, is Ashesta the day of the House of Solace invasion.
Realizing that this was the night that Ethimelle headed for the church to pray to her, Tamheia proceeds to fight off House of Solace soldiers from 100 years ago with her moon beams with each of them disintegrating afterward. Heading for the church where Ethimelle was shot by the crossbow soldier, Tamheia proceeds to watch the House of Solace soldier with the crossbow make his way through the stained glass windows, and proceed to break the glass. Tamheia then kills the House of Solace soldier with the crossbow, but instead of just disintegrating, it causes the whole area to rupture, causing Tamheia to fall into another dimension with this voice;
Tamheia then finds herself in Ashesta, days after the attack. Tamheia walks through ruined buildings and several dead people at night, eventually crying that she couldn't save them all, and states that she wished that she could've cast the Moon's Seal sooner and saved everyone. Heading for the same church where Ethimelle was shot by the crossbow soldier and the Moon's Seal was interrupted, Tamheia sees none other that Ethimelle, already dead with the same crossbow arrow through her 100 years ago. Tamheia slowly realizes that this is trying to sway her faith towards the sun god Carmone; via making her live through the darkest memories and look back on her regrets. Picking up Ethimelle's body, it then disintegrates, with this voice saying.
Tamheia then recognizes the voice as none other than Carmone, who then appears out of thin air, who says that Ethimelle is his and that her resistance ends here. Carmone and Tamheia get into a battle, where Tamheia uses her newly recovered moon powers to battle Carmone, with Carmone using his signature flames, flowers, and stars. Tamheia becomes very angry at Carmone, saying that he was the one responsible for everything 100 years ago, Carmone refuses to believe this, stating that him becoming the supreme god after the solar eclipse is pretty much inevitable. Tamheia proceeds to utilize one of her true powers as the moon goddess, and that is casting zero kelvin temperatures with a snowstorm that inflicts massive damage on the phantom Carmone, with temperatures so cold, Carmone could not counter with his fire powers, one of the many types of powers as the sun god. 
After destroying the phantom Carmone, the fake dream then begins to collapse, and then Tamheia says that its time to save Ethimelle once and for all, stating that its her only chance to do the most critical thing from the start; finally leaving behind Ethimelle's body. Back at the House of Solace laboratory, just as when Carmone's slayer formula was about to overtake Ethimelle's body, her eyes then turn cyan and then, a beam of light appears through her body. A second beam of light appears, and out of the beam of light comes out none other than Tamheia, the Moon Goddess, having successfully freed herself from the life link that Ethimelle has. Tamheia proceeds to execute all of the researchers, including freezing their blood and killing them with the darkness. While Ethimelle recovers from Carmone's formula, Tamheia defends her from a wave of the last remaining House of Solace soldiers enhanced with Carmone's Slayer formula. 
Upon healing Ethimelle, Tamheia proceeds to cast a beam of moonlight from above that causes the entire laboratory to be in ruins but keeping both of them safe. With Ethimelle in her arms unconscious, Tamheia then teleports back to safety at the Atum Havens. Ethimelle then wakes up back in her bed, and sees Tamheia, now fully materialized. Tamheia says that the process is complete, and Tamheia has successfully went through the Goddess Release procedure, the procedure of releasing her and Ethimelle from the life link without killing her nor Tamheia. Tamheia says to Ethimelle that she still has her permission to use her powers and weapons provided by her, and will still protect Ethimelle until the very end. Tamheia proclaims that with all of her powers fully recovered, they believe that they got what it takes to stop the sun god Carmone, and end the solar eclipse once and for all.
The day of the solar eclipse commences...
The scene then transitions to Ethimelle and Tamheia on the battlefield between Atum Havens and Solsun. Ethimelle and Tamheia fight through waves of militia soldiers enhanced with Carmone's energy, and notices that Ethimelle's attacks could not damage them enough at all, until Tamheia says that she can pierce through their defenses now that she's free of the life link under Ethimelle with her full powers. Tamheia then freezes several soldiers with her moon beam, and then utilizes an enhanced version of the Moon Scythe that is capable of damaging through their defenses provided by Carmone. After getting close to the entrance and getting ready to storm Solsun to head for Carmone's temple to end this, they are stopped by another lieutenant who demonstrates greater power to where only Tamheia could actually defeat him, as he was immune to all of Ethimelle's weapons. Tamheia then turns invisible and casts a flurry of shadow slashes on the lieutenant, breaking through Carmone's shield and defeating him. Ethimelle proceeds to stay in the field while Tamheia marches forward to fight against Carmone, the sun god, at his grand temple. 
Tamheia then proceeds to fight against Carmone, who welcomes her to his kingdom of the sun. Carmone says to Tamheia that he is proud of her never giving up on Ethimelle and her pointless crusade against him. Carmone then says to Tamheia that him becoming the supreme god is inevitable, and by the time Tamheia already kills him afterward, it doesn't matter anymore because he already prepared the spell to commence the solar eclipse, which will destroy everything except for his followers, which he and his followers will rebuild the world to his own pleasure, with him being proclaimed as the greatest hero the world has ever known and Tamheia being portrayed as the anti-Carmone. Tamheia slowly becomes more and more angrier at this speech, and proceeds to cast a moon beam towards Carmone. Carmone says that it's time to die, and he guarantees Tamheia a fair death to her and then Ethimelle if he kills the former.
Carmone and Tamheia take it to the skies and battle out with their sun powers. Carmone uses the power of fire and falling stars guided from the sky to attack Tamheia, which Tamheia dodges. Tamheia then parries some of Carmone's attacks with her own moonbeam that she casts with her palms. After inflicting some damage on Carmone, Tamheia and Carmone get into a huge beam battle which Tamheia manages to overpower, which manages to crystallize Carmone to his death, which Tamheia then finishes off with a scythe slash that shatters it. Tamheia proclaims that Carmone has been killed, and then decides to return back down to give everyone the news that Carmone is dead.
However, at the same time, the sun and the moon indicate that it is already close to the impending hour of the solar eclipse, and Tamheia still hasn't been able to figure out a way to protect everyone from the solar eclipse. Returning to Ethimelle still in the battlefield toward Solsun, she then suggests the Moon's Seal, the spell that kept her alive 100 years ago. Tamheia then agrees, and then conjures up the same Moon's Seal from 100 years ago, and has the people of the Atum Havens enter inside, so that they'll be safe whenever the solar eclipse hits and after the solar eclipse, they'll rebuild the land together. Then, the skies darken, which is when the solar eclipse commences. Tamheia witnesses the sun crashing down on the moon and eventually hit the land.
The Moon's Seal starts to lose shape and weaken, Tamheia is at first confused on why the Moon's Seal is not protecting them from the solar eclipse, until she realizes that the solar eclipse is overpowering the Moon's Seal to the point where it's actually not destroying it, but rather absorbing it. If anything, the procedure that Tamheia setup is actually making the solar eclipse stronger. Tamheia tries to cancel out the Moon's Seal, but it's too late, and an explosive shock wave occurs which destroys all of the land, killing most of the people via burning them to ashes but sparing the people of Solsun, with Tamheia dying last. Carmone, now in spiritual form, laughs at the situation and proclaims himself victorious, stating that their attempts to stop the solar eclipse were nothing but futile, and that there's nothing that they can do about it. He further says that they didn't actually kill him, but only destroyed his physical form, the actual reason why Tamheia didn't get his sun powers after defeating him, which they entirely didn't realize. 
Tamheia wakes up, revealing the whole thing was a vision of the future. Tamheia says to Ethimelle that the solar eclipse is at an unstoppable rate, and the only way to stop the solar eclipse, is killing Carmone and taking his powers of the sun. Shielding everyone from the solar eclipse as seen in the vision is not an option, as it backfired by the solar eclipse absorbing the Moon's Seal. Ethimelle says that tomorrow, the day of the solar eclipse, it's going to be all or nothing. Tamheia says that with Carmone's Slayer formula that she managed to absorb from her, there's a hope that they could do to get ready for the final battle.
===Final Chapter: The Day Tamheia Walked The Earth===
The chapter opens up to a scene taking place 100 years ago, prior to the events of the Prologue. The scene then shows the kingdom of Solsun 100 years ago, where Carmone walks up to a gathering of his people at his finest temple, and thanks everyone for coming. During his speech, Carmone claims that the moon kingdom of Ashesta, the followers of Tamheia, are nothing but worthless, as they have refused to embrace working together with the sun kingdom of Solsun. Carmone says that as part of his crusade, he will aim to become omnipotent, the supreme god that ruled the world, and to do so, he'll aim to take down all of his rivals that oppose him, and that includes his main force, the House of Solace, Carmone's society that specializes in researching the latest and greatest technology to advance the world. He says that within the next week, the House of Solace will conquer Ashesta and therefore, begin the crusade to make Carmone the greatest leader.
The next scene then cuts to the House of Solace soldiers, preparing their operations to conquer Ashesta, the moon kingdom that worships the moon goddess Tamheia. One man watches this, and is opposed to the House of Solace's act of violence, but seeing that the people of Solsun are already rooting for the House of Solace and Carmone to conquer Ashesta and those who follow the moon goddess Tamheia, he realizes that opposing them is no use as the overwhelming majority of them support it. The man then heads for Carmone's temple, and asks the head priest why is Carmone doing this, and the priest says that its for the good of Solsun and Carmone himself, and Carmone wants to make sure that everyone has faith in him, and not the opposing god, Tamheia. The man argues with the priest about whether or not the House of Solace is right about invading Ashesta, the moon kingdom, until the argument becomes heated, resulting in the priest pulling out a dagger and stabbing the man with it to death. The priest sees what he did to the man, and slowly pieces together that the people of Ashesta have done nothing wrong to the sun kingdom of Solsun, and therefore makes the invasion of the House of Solace injustice. The priest then proceeds to oppose the House of Solace invasion of Ashesta outside on the street, but is stopped by people and then Carmone appears, saying to the priest that we do not turn against him, the sun god, and proceeds to execute him via turning him into the gold of the sun, and dematerialized him to ashes. 
On the morning where the solar eclipse is supposed to commence, Ethimelle and Tamheia come up with a plan to make sure the people of the Atum Havens have a means of fighting against Carmone's followers. Overnight, Tamheia begun studying Carmone's Slayer formula that she managed to absorb from Ethimelle while it was being injected into her, and came up with an idea; she will use that Slayer formula and reincarnate it under her own powers, which will allow her to enhance the people of the Atum Havens with her powers, and allow them to defeat Carmone's forces. Ethimelle and Tamheia then begin the process of training people to work with Tamheia's powers, including making sure that they're not harmed and that they both understand what they're doing with those powers.
Prior to the battle, Ethimelle and Tamheia visit the Starserena Tribe, where she informs Jokka that Xiana, the priestess of the Starserena Tribe, has died and killed by her actions, stating that it was Carmone that possessed her. Ethimelle tells Jokka that the solar eclipse is today, and Carmone is getting ready to commence the solar eclipse via having the sun crash down into the moon and into the earth, where he'll protect his followers so that when the solar eclipse ends, he will come out as the omnipotent god by killing Tamheia and taking his moon powers. Jokka understands this, and proceeds to come along to her resistance against Carmone, as it is now or never against Carmone. Seeing that the Starserena Tribe is willing to come along with the fight against Carmone, Ethimelle and Tamheia teleport to Palacia.
At Palacia, Ethimelle and Tamheia inform the people about Carmone's plans with the solar eclipse today, and get the minister, Churchill, the information that he needs to convince the people about Carmone's plan, and join her in the resistance. With the people of Palacia ready to fight against Carmone with the aid of Tamheia to stop his master plan, Ethimelle and Tamheia head to Dovek and later find out that the village has already evacuated to Palacia. Seeing that they have pretty much everyone, Ethimelle and Tamheia teleport to the Atum Havens with the people of Palacia and the Starserena Tribe. Tamheia then prepares everyone for a bloody fight that will take thousands of lives, as they'll be fighting against the sun kingdom of Solsun for the fate of the world and for the fate of both Ethimelle and Tamheia. With everyone assembled together, Carmone sees this and prepares his followers to battle as well.
The people of Solsun proceed to charge towards the people of the Atum Havens, where they proceed to fight with various weapons enhanced with Tamheia's powers. Carmone sees that Tamheia has managed to convert the Slayer formula to her side, and proceeds to get into a battle against Tamheia. The scene then alternates between Ethimelle fighting off waves of Carmone's enhanced followers with her weapons, and Tamheia battling against Carmone in the sky. In the battlefield however, House of Solace mecha robots then come into the field, with Ethimelle seeing that these are the final supply of House of Solace robots, and proceed to battle them. After defeating the wave of mecha robots, Ethimelle then sees a familiar man dressed in House of Solace armor. Ethimelle then slowly pieces together that the man was none other than Arthur, who had left Dovek weeks ago and was never to be seen again, which as it turns out, he was secretly working under the House of Solace to lead Ethimelle to Carmone. Arthur then says that he knew Ethimelle was working for Tamheia, the moon goddess from the start, and seeing how Ethimelle never gave up, that it's time to battle to the death. Arthur then summons out a katana weapon and proceeds to battle Ethimelle, until Ethimelle manages to pierce through Arthur's defenses and weaken him.
With Arthur weakened, Ethimelle proceeds to remove Carmone's barrier with Tamheia's powers, and then Arthur turns back to normal. Ethimelle takes off his helmet, stating that Carmone has no right to be initiating that solar eclipse tonight, and says that it's time to settle the score once and for all with Carmone. Seeing that Ethimelle is refusing to hurt him anymore, Arthur then swears to turn against Carmone, the sun god, after seeing what they did to the moon kingdom Ashesta 100 years ago. Seeing Arthur turn against the people of Solsun after being converted over to Tamheia's side, some of the people of Solsun proceed to turn against each other, with the followers of Tamheia stating to them that they were responsible for destroying Ashesta and nearly killing Tamheia 100 years ago. Carmone sees how he's losing followers, with Tamheia saying to him that's what he gets for covering up everything 100 years ago and making them look like the heroes altogether just to protect their reputation. 
Tamheia proceeds to continue fighting against Carmone, and then after several battles in the sky, proceeds to weaken Carmone and cause his body to degenerate, and proceeds to execute him with her scythe. However, it wasn't quite over yet, as Carmone still has his spiritual form that most of Tamheia's attacks can't hit, as he's under a spiritual form rendering most if not all attacks ineffective against him. However, Tamheia realizes that there is one weakness to Carmone, and that is him running out of followers, because if Carmone runs out of followers, he will have nothing to die for. Tamheia then survives wave after wave of Carmone's attacks, and then eventually, with all of the faith people have built up and with most of the people of Solsun turning on against Carmone. Carmone says that he's out of here and proceeds to head to his temple, where he talks with the head priest about restoring his followers' faith toward him, only for him to break his staff angrily, telling him that he needs to get out and that he already knows what he did 100 years ago to Tamheia and the moon kingdom Ashesta. 
With nowhere left to go and with his reputation left in shambles, Carmone then pulls out his weapon, his golden sun blade, and proceeds to kill himself via stabbing his chest. After stabbing him in the chest, Carmone then disintegrates forever to ashes, and has his sun powers absorbed by none other than Tamheia, the moon goddess, which causes her to finally become omnipotent. Tamheia says to the people down in the battlefield between the Atum Havens and Solsun that there's still one last thing to do, and that is preventing that solar eclipse that Carmone has already prepared. With the solar eclipse already approaching the earth at the speed of light, the solar eclipse then proceeds to crash into the earth and the screen turns back.
The screen then shows Tamheia blocking the solar eclipse against her with a beam, and tells everyone that they need to get their faith together and proceed to prove to her that they will worship her till the very end. Everyone then closes their eyes, with Tamheia's essences flying toward her. At first, the solar eclipse looked like it was going to overpower her and destroy the earth inevitably, but Tamheia saw the faith in her people and knew she had to never give up on them. Tamheia then pulls through against the solar eclipse, and with a giant flash of light, manages to repel it back, sending it flying back into the sky where it came. Everyone then sighs a breath of relief. Tamheia then comes back down, victorious. She states that with the solar eclipse finally repelled and with Carmone dead, everyone will now see Tamheia as the true goddess of the world, and future generations will remember this as the day that Tamheia walked the earth. Ethimelle then says goodbye to her friends, and proceeds to head back to the remains of Ashesta with Tamheia.
===Epilogue===
Several years have passed since the day Tamheia walked the earth, where she fought against Carmone and revealed that he was responsible for the events that happened to Ashesta. The moon kingdom of Ashesta has been rebuilt with the aid of the Palacian people, and Ethimelle becomes the ruling queen of New Ashesta, the new name for the newly rebuilt Ashesta. The scene shows Ethimelle sitting at the shore of a pond in the same forest she went into 100 years ago, visiting Tamheia's new church where the priest is talking about the battle between Tamheia and Carmone, and how she won with the faith of her people, and then visiting the memorial stone remembering those that died against the battle against Carmone in the battlefield between the Atum Havens and Solsun, as well as mentioning those killed in the House of Solace invasion on Ashesta 100 years ago. Here, Ethimelle sees how the people of Solsun have quickly moved on from Carmone's death, and have instead worshiped the moon goddess Tamheia. 
The last scene takes place at the balcony of the New Ashesta castle, the home of Queen Ethimelle. Ethimelle talks with the moon goddess Tamheia, who she had finally let go of her powers borrowed from her, where she states to her if it weren't for herself, Tamheia wouldn't have been saved and Carmone would've ended up being the omnipotent god instead. Tamheia says that she is happy with how the world is right now without Carmone, and says that as the omnipotent goddess, she will always look out for her. Ethimelle then pledges goodbye to Tamheia, stating that she'll miss her, but Tamheia says that she'll always be with her, before disappearing into the sky. 
The very last scene is an image of the Selene stained glass, showing Ethimelle and Tamheia with all three moons, before the screen fades out to show the credits.
The End
==Gameplay==
===Startup===
The main title screen shows Tamheia's full moon in a clear sky with snow falling, where it shows a "Press Any Button" on the bottom-right, where doing so emits a bass-like sound effect where the main menu then appears with various settings. 
===Main Game===
The game is a third person action-adventure game, inspired by the likes of God of War, Stellar Blade, and Final Fantasy XVI. The game has a heavy focus on melee hack-n-slash combat but is more grounded and has a higher level of realism. 
The gameplay has an emphasis on melee combat with a variety of weapons that are unlocked via progressing through the game. Each weapon has a unique utility mechanic that changes depending on the weapon, such as being able to parry attacks with a normal sword, and pole vault toward targets with the lance. 
The Goddess Attack is a major combat mechanic, being that it is a finisher attack that can be used at the end of certain combos but requires a portion of of the Goddess Gauge to activate. If Ethimelle is currently in Goddess Link state, she can use the Goddess Attack without consuming a portion of the Goddess Gauge as it is depleted over time. Lore-wise, the Goddess Attacks are when Tamheia utilizes the Angelic Artillery to destroy her foes, as simply put; Ethimelle doesn't actually do the Goddess Attack, as Tamheia does it instead. In addition, the Goddess Attacks are enhanced when Ethimelle enters the Goddess Link state. 
One of this game's unique mechanics in its combat is where the lower Ethimelle's HP is, usually around the 25% or below state, the weaker and slower her attacks are, but that mechanic also applies to most human enemies, where if they are near death, they are left vulnerable to Ethimelle's Goddess Attacks, where upon execution, they will be absorbed as energy for Ethimelle's Goddess Gauge, giving Ethimelle enough charge to initiate another Goddess Attack on another target. Executing enemies via Goddess Attacks also heals Ethimelle and gives her additional Moon experience, which will be used to unlock new abilities on the three Moon Skill Trees. In addition, if Ethimelle's HP is 25% or below, the Goddess Gauge's recharge speed is increased to represent Tamheia's will to never give up. 
The healthbar has a in-game lore explanation where it is essentially Tamheia's life link to Ethimelle providing a barrier of defense, and if that healthbar depletes to 0, Ethimelle has 5 seconds to not take a hit before Tamheia can heal the life barrier as the life barrier regenerates automatically, as most attacks will kill Ethimelle as well as Tamheia once that lifebar depletes. It takes 8 seconds for the healthbar to regenerate automatically, and 15 seconds for it to regenerate entirely, and taking damage will interrupt the regeneration process.
The graphics of this game go for the anime style 3D with Western-style details, similarly to Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition and Tales of Arise. 
==== HUD Elements & Menus ====
The HUD in this game goes for a very minimalistic approach, consisting of a flat modern design;
*Bottom-left: Healthbar indicated in red, Tamheia's Goddess Gauge indicated in violet below it. Left of the both bars is the icon representing which weapon you are. The icon outline changes shape depending on the Moon Alignment, an octagon star on the New Moon, a cloud on the Half Moon, and a snowflake on the Full Moon. When the Goddess Gauge is filled indicating that the Goddess Link is ready, a "L3+R3" prompt will appear. Prompt can be disabled in the settings. This healthbar is often invisible outside of combat.
*Bottom-right: Tamheia's Goddess Miracles, which change depending on the alignment of the moon. Also tends to be invisible outside of combat.
*Top: Used for enemy healthbars, including bosses. Alternatively in exploration, there is instead a compass. Compass can be disabled in the settings.

===Tamheia's Angelic Artillery===
During the prologue, Ethimelle is limited to the Iron Broadsword, and in certain sections of the game, Ethimelle uses real world weapons that function similarly to the weapons below. 
Ethimelle's weapons are capable of shapeshifting. which means that her rapier can also transform into her bow and other weapons. The game has the unique selling point of there being very few weapons but lots of flexibility for each of them, rather than making them generic damage dealers, and instead of just equipping weapons, you summon them out via Tamheia's Angelic Artillery, 
Basically, the weapon system is where for example, because each weapon is permanently soldered down to the character once it is acquired, instead of just making them generic damage dealers with different movesets, they also serve as an utility in battle and also exploration. It also enforces that the weapons in the game are not crafted or acquired through sidequests, but are instead acquired via progressing through the main story only. 
One thing to note however in terms of its weapon system, there are no flat damage upgrades in this game, meaning there is no upgrade that only increases damage. Aside from the Goddess Link effects throughout the Skill Trees, the damage you do in the beginning is the same in the endgame with each weapon. 
There are three attack buttons, the Light Attack on Square, the Heavy Attack on Triangle, and the Goddess Attack on Circle. Goddess Attack is only recharged via the use of basic attacks and it does heavy damage with effects changing what alignment of the Moon you are on, and what weapon you are using. Additionally, if Goddess Link is active, the Goddess Attack gets empowered. Additionally, attacks can be cancelled out mid-animation. 
Weapons cannot clip through walls, as there is a mechanic implemented where if Ethimelle swings a sword towards a wall, it will clang off the wall and knock her back.

Mace Swing
---
---	Four slow mace strikes that deal heavy damage to armored enemies, including mecha-type enemies. 		 	
Onslaught
-Mash 
-Mash	Perform a forward mace jab, and with both hands, swing the mace repeatedly from left and right on your target. This can be performed at a maximum duration of 5 seconds but will be cancelled via taking damage. 
You can also combo this from a normal Mace Swing combo, where in any part of the combat, you can mash Triangle/Y to perform the Onslaught combo.		 	
Goddess Attack	 	This is the Goddess Attack, which only becomes usable after the end of each combo and when the Goddess Gauge is filled to a certain portion. It comprises of Tamheia swinging the mace on the target dealing additional damage.
The following additional effects are activated when the Goddess Link is active;
*New Moon: Tamheia performs a downward smash, where if the target is knocked down, will be instantly defeated. 
*Half Moon: Tamheia performs an upward smash that throws the target up in the air. If the target is light armored and below a certain threshold of their remaining health, there's a chance that when the target crashes into the ground, they will be instantly defeated.
*Full Moon: Tamheia performs a sideways smash where if the target is currently under frostbite, will be instantly defeated. If the target is not under frostbite, they will receive a frostbite effect from Tamheia.	 	
Ground Smash 	The Titan Greatmace also has the ability to destroy rocks. Via holding down L2 and pressing Triangle, you can perform a ground smash that not only deals damage to knocked down targets, but also smashes rocks and certain walls. Can also be followed up with a Goddess Attack.		 	
Wind Fan 	An oriental style fan. It is typically used to propel wind.
While this weapon does very low damage, the wind waves allow it to hit multiple enemies across its trajectory and even knock them back forward. In fact, enemies can take damage if they crash into walls from this weapon. The damage the enemies take varies on the type of enemy, and the speed that they crash into. 
This weapon is unique as it also serves as an utility. When you are using the weapon, you will have a petal gauge next to you. Each petal corresponds with how many Wind Waves you have. They recharge per 3 seconds when not in use, or one when the weapon hits an enemy. Wind Waves can be used to propel objects, clear away dust, and even knock away enemies. 
Unlocked in Chapter 6.	An oriental style fan. It is typically used to propel wind.

Fan Swing
--
--	Three fan swings toward the target in front of you. These are performed to charge up wind waves. 		 	
Wind Conductor	With the wind waves you’ve charged, you can release them via pressing Triangle. They do low damage but knock away the enemy as well.		 	
Goddess Attack	 	This is the Goddess Attack, which only becomes usable after the end of each combo and when the Goddess Gauge is filled to a certain portion. It comprises of Tamheia conducting wind that will launch the target into the air. 
The following additional effects are activated when the Goddess Link is active;
*New Moon: Tamheia blinds the target, causing them to become confused and randomly attack others. Mecha enemies and certain wildlife will not be affected and will instead take damage. 
*Half Moon: Tamheia suspends the target up in the air, causing them to be unable to move.
*Full Moon: Tamheia causes a frozen wind to blow through the area. The frozen wind will cause enemies to be slowed and have their vision reduced, making them less likely to be provoked from a distance.	 	
Aiming Mode 	Via holding down L2, you can also aim where to conduct wind via the fan. 		 	
Moon Scythe 	Tamheia's prized staff that represents the moon, with a arched blade on one side. It is said to be Tamheia's main weapon of choice.

You can also combo this from a normal Scythe Slash combo, where in any part of the combat, you can press Triangle/Y to perform the Judgment combo.		 	
Goddess Attack	 	This is the Goddess Attack, which only becomes usable after the end of each combo and when the Goddess Gauge is filled to a certain portion. It comprises of Tamheia slashing with her scythe towards the target.

*Half Moon: Tamheia incapacitates the enemy via a rift that causes them to become dizzy.
*Full Moon: Tamheia freezes the target, and depending on the target, they will be instantly defeated. Mecha enemies and certain wildlife enemies cannot be frozen and will instead take damage.	 	
Deflection
Hold	This stance will have you spin your scythe repeatedly to deflect ranged attacks. However, you can only hold this stance for 8 seconds as you'll overheat, cancelling this stance and leaving you open against enemy attacks.
While in Goddess Link state, you cannot overheat.		 	
==Tamheia's Powers==
===Goddess Link===
The Goddess Link is a mechanic Ethimelle unlocks throughout Chapter 2. Lore-wise, it is where Tamheia temporarily takes control of Ethimelle's body and allows her and Tamheia to work together, enhancing their combat abilities for a duration. 
At first, at the beginning of the game, on the Tamheia section in the menu, the three Moon Phases can be hovered over, but as they are currently crippled, the description will read “This Moon Phase is not yet recovered.”. Afterward, hovering over that menu would describe its power;
*New Moon: Enhance your fighting capabilities with the power of night and shadows.
*Half Moon: Endure your way in the battle via the use of clouds.
*Full Moon: Channel the energies of absolute zero onto your enemies.
The Goddess Link recharges over time and via attacking enemies. The duration of the Goddess Link is 20 seconds. You cannot recharge the Goddess gauge while the Goddess Link is in effect. Weapons are pre-assigned to the New Moon phase where if you activate Goddess Link while using the for example the Noble Rapier on the New Moon phase, you will enter Goddess Link in the New Moon phase where the rapier will be enhanced to deal damage based on the New Moon phase. Tamheia however cannot change phases, where if she enters Goddess Link in the New Moon phase, it will stay on the New Moon phase even through switching weapons. 
===Goddess Miracles===
Goddess Miracles are Tamheia's spells that Ethimelle can cast. They each consume a portion of the Goddess gauge and do not have a cooldown before recasting.

50	Aim/Proximity	No special effects.	 	
===Moon Powers===
These are the skill trees for each of Tamheia's powers. There are three types of abilities;
Active: Abilities that only work when said Goddess Link is active. An activated ability on the New Moon Skill Tree can only be used when the New Moon Goddess Link is active. 
Passive: Passive abilities that are usable even when the Goddess Link is inactive and at anytime. 
Connected: Abilities that can work on all three Goddess Links. For example, an ability on the New Moon Goddess Link skill tree that can be used on the Half Moon and Full Moon Goddess Links. 
====New Moon====
Shadow Dash 	Ability unlocked via progressing through the story. Allows you to run real fast via the use of shadows, and is activated via pressing the dodge button twice.
Shadow Within	Ability unlocked via the Skill Tree. When dodging attacks while the New Moon Goddess Link is active, the window of perfect dodging will be increased and damage Ethimelle would've taken will be nullified.
Shadow Fall 	Passive ability unlocked via the Skill Tree. Should you take damage from enemy attacks, Tamheia will retaliate and attack the target for you with the weapon you were using.
====Half Moon====
Cloud Elevator 	Ability unlocked via progressing through the story. Via holding down the Jump button, you can summon a cloud that sends you up in the sky, allowing you to attack targets from above or climb certain areas.
Cloudwalk 	Active ability unlocked via the Skill Tree. Allows you to dodge attacks via the use of cloud teleportation when the Half Moon Goddess Link is active.
Cloud Deflection	Connected ability unlocked via the Skill Tree.
====Full Moon====
Anti-Frost 	Ability unlocked via progressing through the story. Whenever the Full Moon Goddess Link is active, all Frostbite/Cold-blooded conditions will be nullified, and you will be immune to hypothermia, allowing you to swim in freezing water without gaining Cold-blooded condition.
Snow Step 	Active ability unlocked via the Skill Tree.
Goddess's Grace	Passive ability unlocked via the Skill Tree.
===Goddess Release===
==Outfits==
===Attributes===
These are the list of attributes that are seen in the outfits. 
Barefoot 	This trait is only applied when you are not wearing any footwear or are wearing footwear that does not fully cover your feet (toeless socks, etc). Your footsteps' sound effects change, but in addition, your running speed is decreased as your traction is decreased when going barefoot. Also, hazards and attacks that come from the ground, such as explosions from the ground, deal increased damage. Damage from Frostbite and Overheat is increased.
However, one of the upsides to Barefoot is that it increases your speed while in water as you don’t have to worry about water-logged footwear. In addition, walking on molten floors will cause you to take damage over time and will quickly cause Overheat to buildup.
Protected Hands	This trait is applied when you are wearing clothes that come with gloves. It protects you from frostbite or any hazards that stem from holding objects such as ice crystals, allowing you to pick up certain items.
Windbreaker 	This trait is applied when you are wearing clothes that resist winds. It allows you to resist heavy wind currents and avoid being pushed by them.
Heavy 	This trait is applied when you are wearing heavy armor. It allows you to avoid getting knocked quickly by enemy attacks, but reduces your dodging window and makes you slightly slower. Also, you cannot swim in water as the heaviness of the armor will cause you to sink.
Cold Protection	This trait is applied when you are wearing winter gear. You will not take damage from frostbite over time. Though, if the Full Moon Goddess Link is active, frostbite damage will be nullified as Tamheia's Full Moon state revolves around the power of ice. Remember, Cold Protection will not protect you from swimming in freezing water due to hypothermia. The only way to swim in freezing water safely is via the use of the Full Moon Goddess Link.
Eye Protection 	This trait is applied when you are wearing protective eyewear. Your eyesight is never hampered when in snowy regions and flash bombs cannot blind you.
Flexibility 	This trait is applied when you are wearing tight clothes. Your dodging window is increased as you have increased flexibility.
Fire Protection	This trait is applied when you are wearing flameproof gear, including rock-layered armor. In areas where there are very high temperatures, you will take Overheat damage over time. Additionally, you will also resist attacks such as flamethrowers and open flame hazards.
===List of Outfits===
These are the many outfits that Ethimelle acquires and can wear throughout the game. Throughout the game, Ethimelle will change into different outfits to where cutscenes that appear in the main story will have her wear the outfit that she canonically wears at the time. While Ethimelle for example can change back to the House Clothes in Chapter 2, she will always wear the Fancy Dress in all cutscenes.
House Clothes	Ethimelle's blue shirt and olive green boyshorts. Worn during the prologue of the game. 
After the prologue where Ethimelle is put into stasis for 100 years into the Moon's Seal, the blue shirt now has a slight hole below the torso where the mark of Tamheia is.

==World==
This game goes for an open zone structure where each of the regions aren’t connected to each other and are instead fast-traveled to on the map. The first two chapters will be linear though as there is a little emphasis on exploration and almost no sidequests until Chapter 2 is completed.
Certain areas like the Prologue cannot be revisited afterward. In addition, non-revisitable areas have no secret collectibles at all. 
In addition, there will be a Night Mode which not only switches from day to night, but also lets you choose one of the following moons to be out; New Moon, Half Moon, or Full Moon, depending on which has been fully recovered. Some parts of the game will require you to switch to Night Mode in a specific moon phase. You can teleport to basically anywhere in the game via the 3D map system as the map is developed by exploring through the regions and there are no fast travel areas. However, fast travel availability may be disabled if going to said destination triggers a scripted event.
===Ashesta Region===
The Ashesta Region is the first region in the game. It comprises of forest, meadows, and its two towns Dovek and Palacia.

Bleeding 	Whenever you take damage from piercing weaponry, such as spikes, claws, etc, you will also bleed out, which prevents you from recovering for 5 to 12 seconds and that duration resets when taking damage.
Broken 	Whenever you take damage from certain heavy weaponry, certain bones will be broken and depending on the type, you will be unable to perform certain actions;
*Arm: Unable to perform melee attacks. You can still attack via the use of Tamheia's Goddess Miracles and Goddess Attacks, because the Goddess Attack involves Tamheia attacking the enemy herself.
