Not much else to explain after this future stuff!
Now, we'll be getting into the Embodiment of Heat, the truth about Zere's innocence, what Faote has housed inside of him this entire time, and finally, the fate of False Heaven.
Let's start with Zere, since that's the thing that occurs first and foremost in everything. Once this event is understood, everything else can be understood. Therefore, I shall release this shocking statement (That maybe only one or two people care about.)
Zere did not kill anyone from Faote's family. Think that's crazy? Here's something else.
Faote did it. [insert 'ZOMFG' here]
You see, Faote has a dark side to him, a negative side that feeds on everything bad that happens to him. It started as a split personality back when he was just a child, but once he was introduced to magic and the dark energies of alchemy, this side began to grow to something more. In truth, Faote began to have two separate spirits.
This spirit could be compared to a Negi. In fact, one could say it was a fake Negi of sorts, but it is all the same a Negi. Faote's other spirit took control Faote at his most possible weakest point and slaughtered his own family (Except his father, but that'll be explained later.). After the carnage had stopped, before the spirit gave control back to Faote, he left him with one word: Zere.
And ever since then, Faote had disillusioned himself. As far as he knew, Zere did everything.
Let's move on to the Negi inside Faote. It's basically just sitting there. I suppose stuff would happen to Faote during this event since Negi are doing all sorts of stuff, but I have no way to mess with him to act out his part in the event. At any rate, the Negi is Faote, just much more angrier and wants to murder stuff. He also kinda wants to troll the original Faote every now and then by playing mind games, and will occasionally even help the guy in certain fights so as to keep Faote from going batshit insane from losing everything.
Alright, new event to talk about. Faote's death when he first came into SP. This other spirit was not with him. The main thing to note is that the Prophet killed him with his dagger, which contains a buncha souls and spirits. The Prophet stored Faote's Negi inside his dagger when he killed him, and took the alchemist's philosopher's stone. However, the Negi regenerated itself through Faote's constant negative outlook, and was back in full force by the time Faote was done creating False Heaven.
Embodiment of Heat time. The Embodiment of Heat derives off of the belief that Heat = Life, since stars generate warmth and potentially create life and infinite amounts of energies till they die, while cold things are more often than not associated with death. This can be applied to a real world example quite easily: You tend to sleep much, much better when you're warm as if you're safe from harm, in comparison to if you're cold, you can't ever fall asleep and your body tries to stay awake, as if anticipating something.
So, what about this embodiment of heat? Here's another shocking statement.
Faote's Father is the Embodiment of Heat. Or was, anyways. Now, his father is the Prophet, a shadow of his former self and the power he once held. After the carnage Faote caused, his father survived. And after witnessing the horrors his own son committed, he made it his solemn duty to help Faote, whether it involved killing him, or helping him enough to rid him of the negi inside him. And from then on, it can be assumed that Faote's Father went on to researching the philosopher's stone as well and made one himself, or at least an incomplete one. Once he had that, he could freely travel the cosmos to gain the necessary power to help Faote.
In his travels, he met the previous Embodiment of Heat. This Embodiment, impressed with the Father's resolve for his mission, named him the heir to being the Embodiment of Heat, and a year after that, the embodiment had died. Faote's Father was the Embodiment from then on.
Now here is where it gets iffy. I kinda dunno what happens here, because I can't think of a reason for whatever happens here yet. The main gist in this part is that Faote's Father loses his Embodiment of Heat Status and is stripped of his humanity, and is reduced to nothing more than a humanoid creature with a cloak and a dagger. The Prophet. Technically, I'm wanting to lean it towards that this status was sealed inside of him through an event, but eh.
After this, Faote's father notices that the dagger he possesses holds spirits and souls of those he kills. And then he gets the first idea of how to help his son: absorb the Negi within Faote by killing him. He knew his own son would die in the process, but even then the father knew that death is only merely temporary. He successfully kills Faote with his dagger and absorbs the Negi within Faote. This Negi, however, also contained the negative feelings of Faote as well, along with the residual feelings of Faote's dead family after they died. If one listened to the dagger carefully, one could hear blood curdling screaming.
But, this failed. The Negi inside Faote was still growing, regenerating. So, Faote's Father gets an idea: to call himself the Prophet and set up a 'prophecy' of sorts to fulfill one sole thing: Cure Faote of the Negi inside him. And once he took this role, he was forever known as the Prophet. He would ocassionally show up near Faote to give him tidbits of the 'prophecy' to drive him to do certain things, which would drive him ever closer to his self healing.
So how would the Prophet cure Faote this time, since forcefully taking out the Negi wouldn't work? He had one plan: Make Faote the Embodiment of Heat. He can't name him as an heir since he has no access to his embodiment status, so he would figure that he would force the embodiment status onto Faote through other means. The Philosopher's stone he stole from Faote when he first killed him was the first piece of the puzzle. He stole it in the first place so the Negi wouldn't regenerate from it, but it turned out that it would regenerate no matter what. So now the stone he had in his possession would serve a different purpose.
The stone was linked to Faote's Soul. The Prophet would give his life to loosen the Embodiment status from his body, and force it in the stone he stole, and then infuse it into Faote through spirit energy.
Now, we're talking about Embodiment stuff here, so spirit energy from one person wouldn't be enough. This is where False Heaven comes into play.
The true purpose of False Heaven is to gain Spirit Energy from it's residents whenever the time came to force Embodiment status into Faote. However, the space station was built in such a way to the point where that wasn't necessary: Faote had made the structure powerful enough to do it all by itself. And if that wasn't enough, most, if not all of the residents adored the Alchemist. He was nice to them all, understanding, and seemed to love each and every single of them. Or most of them anyways. When the time came, if False Heaven could not provide the Spirit energy it needed, the adoration and love for the Alchemist everyone had would have surely provided enough for it.
"Wait, Faote built False Heaven. He had all this in mind?"
No. Remember, the Prophet tricked Faote into Fleeing from Hikaru and Koty after the Plex tournament, to go back into time. However, when he couldn't do this, Faote did the next best thing and made False Heaven, a nigh impenetrable space station. Probably the best reason why Negative energy could overpower False Heaven if only for a few minutes was because the creator of the station himself was full of Negative energy.
The main thing here is that, once Faote inherited the Embodiment of Heat status, the properties of the Embodiment status itself would 'burn' away the Negative energy inside him itself. Or if not, making Faote aware of this side inside of him (finally) and do an epic fight of awesome proportions. Faote vs. Faote! That would have been an amazing fight, no?
That's it. That's everything to explain! I'll probably work on that story with the card games next.
