Description
Aura is the youngest member of the Ring of Zephyrs and her popularity among the others accordingly low. Her belief in the New Octavo and its proposition that the soul does not only cling to one body, acknowledging clones as real human beings, only causes the traditional Zephyrs to mistrust her. After Proxima Opal's death, more and more followers of Luminism turn towards the preachings of the Primary Octavo, according to which the Emperor's clones are soulless beings. Inhuman, unnatural. While tensions arise within the Ring, Aura secretly travels to Trantor to inform the Emperor of the dangers ahead and offer her aid. With the Luminists conflicted between following or denying the Empire, Aura only sees one way to preserve the teachings of the New Octavo; prove to the Ring that Emperor Cleon possesses a soul. Meanwhile, an icy power awakens within her, putting her and her growing relationship with the Emperor at risk... ------------------------ Fanfiction based on the Apple TV adaptation of 'Foundation' by Isaac Asimov Brother Day (Cleon XIII) x OC HIGH PRIORITY FIC
