「黎明圣城奥赫玛为此世之中黑潮尚无法侵扰的净土，但黑潮对其包围之势已显而易见。
千年历史，黑潮所过之处，生灵异化为非人的怪物，城邦风蚀为无人的废墟，即便强盛如悬锋，其神明亦被黑潮污染，一切荒废无存。
逐火至今，大部分火种都已归位，然而黑潮将临，时间已所剩无几，在再创世之前，如若奥赫玛失守，一切都将前功尽弃。
笔者于此大胆揣测，在不久的将来，逐火的英雄必将与黑潮一战。从以往记录来看，哪怕是最为勇猛的战士，也无法在黑潮中坚持长久。黄金裔英雄各有所长，若说此战的希望，若非那骁勇的白厄，便会落在迈德漠斯身上。
当然，那不仅是因为迈德漠斯作为此世勇者之冠，拒绝死亡的天生之命，也不仅因为悬锋旧城位处抵挡黑潮的关要。纵然迈德漠斯如悬锋的狮子般一生迁徙多次，最后停留在离诞生地极远的地方，孤高的王也绝无可能在他国中称臣。一旦安顿好子民，将使命视作生命的迈德漠斯必定归乡，只不过这一次，他背负的不只是悬锋人的希望，更是世界的未来。
塔兰顿的祭司曾预言，千年纷争的历史始于悬锋，亦将终结于悬锋。或许在未来的某一日，那不死之身踏入黑潮，方生方死，那会是怎样的境况，怎样的悲壮……」

Character Story: Part IV
• Unlocked at Character Level 80
"The holy city of Okhema remains one of the last pure lands untouched by the black tide. Yet, the encirclement of the black tide around it has become unmistakably clear.
For a thousand years, wherever the black tide has swept, life has been twisted into inhuman monstrosities, and city-states have been eroded by the wind into desolate ruins. Even a stronghold like Kremnos saw its gods tainted by the black tide, leaving nothing but wastelands in its wake.
Most of the Coreflames had been restored, yet as the black tide approached, we found ourselves desperately short on time. All we have achieved will have been in vain should Okhema fall before the Era Nova.
The author boldly speculated that, soon, the heroes chasing the flame would inevitably face a decisive battle against the black tide. Historical records showed that even the most valiant warriors could not endure long within the black tide. Among the Chrysos Heir heroes, if there was any hope for this battle, it would either rest upon the fearless Phainon or fall to Mydeimos.
This wasn't merely because Mydeimos hailed as the bravest in this world, carried a destiny that defied death, nor was it solely because the old city of Kremnos occupied a strategic choke point against the black tide. Even though Mydeimos, like the lion of Kremnos, had migrated countless times in his life and ultimately settled far from his birthplace, the solitary king would never submit to foreign rule. Once he had settled his people, Mydeimos, who regarded his mission as his very essence, would undoubtedly return home. Yet, this time, he bore not only the hopes of the Kremnoans but also the future of the entire world.
Talanton's priests once prophesied that the millennium of Strife that started in Kremnos would also find its end there. Perhaps, one day, that eternal figure will face the black tide — suspended between life and death. Imagine such a scene, such a profound tragedy..."
