Spectra

There, they met Persephone, the Agma ambassador they were assigned to defend. She gave Spectra an Agma polearm as a gesture of good faith, and Spectra swore to protect her with their life. As time passed, the two of them and Persephone's partner, Myrddin, all became romantically involved.

Near the end of the war, shortly before the collapse, they were attacked by Cadogan: a Daiten driven mad by the loss of his partner who sought the deaths of all Agma. Torn between protecting Persephone and Myrddin, Spectra failed to fight him off. Persephone was mortally wounded. In the last moments before heaven's collapse, Spectra absorbed Persephone's soul into their own body: breaking a taboo, but saving her life.

The trauma of their souls fusing and the collapse of heaven left the both of them shattered and mutated. They wandered the worlds they found themselves on, slowly working out a new balance between their often-conflicting thoughts. In time, they grew used to their new situation, and slowly grew more settled.

And then they found Myrddin, still alive.
