When her soul-sister is kidnapped as the central planes continue to fall into conflict, the gestalt mage Alia Mistwalker finds herself waging a war with past and present to defend her home and friends from a specter of her past.
The Paladins of the Divine Flame, a host of encompassing and oppressive Order, seek to conquer the universe in which Alia resides.
She must draw upon her most feral natures and what allies she can rally to her cause in order to stand a chance of survival, but in war one must be careful to not lose themself.

This story has a rather complicated premise for its creation, which will be explained in the preface. It is based upon my time playing the character Alia Mistwalker (previously Aliah) in the r/wizardposting subreddit. The story is also being posted to Archive of Our Own.
