Work Text:
Cecilia’s birth marks the fifth incarnation of Cosmos’ soul, bringing with it a new chapter in the legacy of the deity. Her life is one of discovery, love, and the intertwining of destinies both earthly and celestial.
A Union Across Stars
Years into her journey, Cecilia’s path crosses with Kluya, a Lunarian whose origins lie in the stars. Their union is a testament to the harmony between different worlds, a love that transcends the boundaries of space and race.
The Birth of Theodor
The culmination of Cecilia and Kluya’s love is the birth of their son, Theodor. His arrival heralds a new era, one where the legacy of his mother, the essence of Cosmos, and the heritage of his Lunarian father will intermingle to shape his destiny.
The Legacy Continues
The cycle of Cosmos is an eternal one, her soul’s incarnations a series of beacons in the darkness. With each life, with each story, the influence of Cosmos is felt, guiding the course of events in subtle yet profound ways.
Cecilia Harvey’s story, her marriage to Kluya, and the birth of their son Theodor are threads in the grand tapestry of the Final Fantasy universe. They are reminders of the enduring spirit of Cosmos, whose presence is a constant force for balance and hope in a world rich with magic, conflict, and the promise of adventure. The legacy of Cosmos, carried through her incarnations, continues to be a beacon of light in the ever-evolving story of Final Fantasy.
In the altered world, the second “split” brings about a poignant turn of events. Kluya’s death a month before the birth of his second son, Cecil, leaves Cecilia to face the future alone. Tragically, she too passes away after bringing Cecil into the world, leaving both Theodor and Cecil as orphans. Their lives are marked by the absence of their parents, a beginning fraught with loss and the shadows of what could have been.
Altered World: The Orphaned Brothers Theodor and Cecil grow up with the legacy of their parents’ love but without their guiding presence. The brothers must rely on each other and the kindness of those around them to navigate a world that has shown them both great love and great sorrow.
Original World: The Widowed Father In the original world, the narrative unfolds differently. Cecilia’s passing after Cecil’s birth leaves Kluya a widower, burdened with the grief of losing his beloved wife but determined to raise his two sons with the love and values she embodied. Theodor and Cecil grow up under the care of their father, whose pain is tempered by the responsibility of parenthood and the joy his sons bring him.
In both worlds, the legacy of Cosmos, carried within Cecil and echoed in Theodor’s life, continues to shape their destinies. They are bound by the cycle of life and death, a cycle that is an intrinsic part of the universe’s eternal rhythm. The “split” creates parallel paths, each with its own trials and triumphs, but ultimately leading to the same truth: that even in the face of adversity, the spirit of Cosmos endures, a guiding light for generations to come.
