Story - summarized

Perlin is a student at a military academy in North Kingdom, working on a thesis about Yunikina and the Snow Eagles.

Yunikina was an accomplished general even at the young age of 18. She formed the Snow Eagle Revolutionary Force and overthrew the tyrant of White Rock City. But rather than stay and be queen, she established a democratic system and left to bring peace and freedom to other city-states.

No one else could compare to Yunikina, who never lost a single battle. But at the age of 32, she was found dead. No one knew how she died, if it was murder or natural, but some suspected that it was an assassination by warlords that saw her as a threat.

The Snow Eagle Revolutionary Force continued for a while. They stayed and protected White Rock City - until the army from Black Water City came and nearly wiped them out. They were able to use Yunikina's strategies to deal a blow powerful enough to convince the other army to negotiate a peaceful solution. But the price was to disband for good.

Perlin grew up hearing these stories and always admired Yunikina, as do the other citizens. Only upon finishing the thesis did Perlin realize something: while the original Snow Eagles may be gone, their memory continues. Yunikina died young, but her legacy is ageless. And with the rise of anti-war sentiments in Miraland, maybe peace will last longer this time.

Connections

-Yunikina also appears in Love Nikki. She's recounted in the legend told through the outfit pieces and the brief blurb in the "Treasure" section of Achievements.

-When you and Nikki travel to the past, you first meet Yunikina and the Snow Eagles at the funeral for the poet Eagle. You join the group on the march to White Rock City. And right before you return to the present, Yunikina asks Nikki to put a flower in her hair.

-Black Water City is Zoey's hometown.

-So far, the Time Corridor Reflections have narrators reading from the future: the historian in Star Sea, Perlin in Ode of Frosty Sword, and the tour guide in Molten Gold. Glow narrates her own story in Laws of Stars, but she still tells it from the future, rather than show what happened in real-time.

Fun Facts

-This suit is based off the third lifetime suit from Love Nikki, Icewind Warchant.

-Perlin's gender is unknown. We only see them through the first-person narration, not even in a drawing.

-Yunikina's Sword of Legend is based after the long-sword, usually held in two hands.

-"Fleur-de-lis" usually describes a decorative shape, and even though the name is French for "lily flower," it's most likely based after a yellow iris instead.

Chapter 5: Heroes Never Fall

Narrated by Perlin.

Narrator: I think I can finish the draft today. Only the final evaluation is left.

Narrator: There has been much discussion over Yunikina, even now.

Narrator: Some say that she could have built a great empire, if she had half the ambition of the Queen of Arms.

Narrator: She clearly wasn't a warmonger, though, so they thought that she let her talents go to waste.

Narrator: Of course, it's unreasonable to berate a historical figure with modern perspectives.

Narrator: In the past and even now, people hold her might and flawless record in high esteem, hoping for a repeat of her deeds.

Narrator: With the recent rise of anti-war sentiments, she has become a symbol for peace and freedom.

Narrator: More works of art based on her were released. She has become synonymous with the terms Girl Commander, Unforgettable Romance, and Patriot.

Narrator: Yunikina now shoulders so many romantic ideals that her actual life seems boring in comparison.

You: Do you think it's boring?

Narrator: Like many kids in North Kingdom, I grew up listening to stories about Yunikina.

Narrator: But I was never into fighting, so her stories didn't inspire ambition in me, but an indescribable peace of mind.

Narrator: North Kingdom is becoming peaceful now. When I was little, there was always a war going on.

Narrator: I remember watching the war reports, seeing the soldiers' tired faces, burned pictures, and those little sprouts growing in bullet casings.

Narrator: I could almost understand why the invincible commander always regarded herself with a hint of sadness, why she could wield the Sword of Legend, and why I feel safe whenever I hear stories about her.

Narrator: We were both born in times of peace and scarred by war. I began to wonder if history is indeed moving forward, or simply going around in circles.

Narrator: Eagle never sang about war. He only praised the beauty of bygone things, reminded Yunikina and her people of their home that once was, and showed them the way forward.

Narrator: Perhaps that is what I truly want to do. To be calm while I reflect on the past, and maybe have some sort of revelation.

You: Is it why you chose to major in military history?

Narrator: Probably. I don't know if this story has answered your question.

Narrator: If I must say something... I am grateful for her part in North Kingdom's history, and for being my childhood hero.

Narrator: Also, perhaps I was wrong before with what I said.

You: Huh?

Narrator: A hero's story never ends, because memories are never-ending songs.

Narrator: Regardless of time or space, the will to uphold freedom and peace will continue to light the way forward.
