Making an Ashborn/Antares fic in my head about their first meetings, but all the titles of each chapter are Jericho [by Iniko] lyrics.

This is just part 1 btw:

I'm high, I'm from outer space : Ashborn learning the story of his birth by someone he is close to but dies after telling the story of how he once was a little fruit thay came down from a huge tree in outer space. And that fruit had fallen because the storyteller prayed for their creator to grant him a child, but with a condition that he would one day be made to protect its 'perfect' ruler and creator. The storyteller then says that it was happy to have cared for such a beautiful creation and names him Ashborn. (Always used to call him 'little fruit').

I got Milky Way for blood, evolution in my vein : Ashborn then being told he will soon go up to meet said 'perfect' god who created him, milky way for blood being a sudden hint to where Ashborn was originally created and grew up, the milky way. Evolution is also a hint that he was living all his childhood with those that aren't fragments and just animals instead, and that their memories still linger with him, like a 'vein'.

I'm gone, I've been far away: Ashborn basically leaving the world he has grown from to follow where the branches of the world tree lead.

I'ma lumineer now, makin' moves, startin' waves: throughout his journey he encounters hundreds of other worlds that need help and other beings that aren't as strong as he is, so he starts 'making moves' to defend others, and 'starting waves' on the news, by that i mean he gets more recognition even though he hasn't even started his journey as a protector. 'i'm a lumineer' being a fragment and all, but also being a hope to people.

I've been dreaming about flying for a long time: It's here where the story cuts to focus on a small dragon, absurdly weak and small because his parents didn't raise him and instead it was the mana from other monsters that helped him hatch. He of course in return of the favor has been protecting those monsters from everyone that comes close. and secretly been "dreaming about flying for a really long time' like the other dragons, been wanting to be free from protecting those that see him more as a tool than a person, but if he goes towards those that fly high, they will reject him due to being, so freaking weak. And then as he laments his weakness, he sees an angel fly out and chase the monsters away, but unlike other beings that the dragon has fought, this one seems to match his energy, as if they were connected to something, he just doesn't know what, gets confused and eventually loses to him. ["Wait, weren't the fragments the first being in existence?" yes and i'll get to that but hush hush or it will be too spoilery]

I had a vision from the grey's, they wanna co-sign: its then cut to ashborn meeting the other soon to be protectors of AB and the first he gets along with is Solaris, or as many call her, the Brilliant one [yes she is brightest fragment of light and also i wanted to make the rulers complete, literally all complete opposites of one another, so while we have 6 male monarchs and 1 female, we have 6 female rulers and one male, ashborn. i thought it would have been a fun subversion from the already way too male populated series, which i'm fine by but i like to add more fem characters curse me] and from then on Ashborn is told that his meeting with Ab will have to wait, for they want to throw him a congratulatory gift party first, and oh dear that sound like too much party members. 'vision from the grays' refers to Ashborn dreaming about the dragon he fought but wanting to know what the connection was about. and 'they wanna co-sign' is Ashborn and Sol being friends.

Artificially intelligent, new-AI: Ashborn also, not accustomed to a lot of things in this new place, all the sudden casually befriends a being that has literally no feelings and is like a fantasy-sci fi version of an 'android artificially intelligent' being. The android helps him understand a lot about the world he is in and starts telling him about the stories of the past and the beings that surrounded them, who were before him and everyone else, while also helping him train on missions that he will soon take. It's at some point when Manaqi, another fragment of light, tells Ashborn that she created the AI and is happy the AI has made a friend. Although she does mock him a little for being close to an AI more than other beings.

I'm your future, past and present, I'm the fine line: This chapter reveals, as Ashborn and AI pass through the monuments and halls of Abs castle, that at first AB created two powers of light and darkness, the seven great beings appeared from this, they were all stable at first until all the sudden the strongest fragment of darkness starts to declare a war against AB to take his power, all the fragments of darkness fought with the strongest darkness to defeat it but they all lost and were cursed to relive their lives again through their predecesors. Then Ashborn says where all those beings are now and the AI says he will one day be told. That story is ofc 'future, past and present'. 'I'm the fine line' for the introduction of Warmane, another soon to be ruler that is quite... depressing? She is the one to spook Ashborn when she suddenly appears walking in the same hallways that tell the murals and doesn't greet Ashborn back. It's just a fade in character that finishes the story that AI was telling by saying "and for more years to come the fragments of darkness and light will fight themselves until they truly cease to exist."

Yeah, I'm a missing link of this illusion : As he starts studying at the academy for making strong protectors of AB, he suddenly meets with a strong humanoid dragon (in a bar that bans academy students), and stronger than everyone he has ever seen. He declares that no one can defeat him at a fight and Ashborn then tries to see if that's true and they both fight, both being equally matched and they love the thrill of it. They both then erupt in a bigger fight that gets them out of the pub and to make a show withing the plaza. No one wins because the guards appear and they both flee. But before that Ashborn catches him and tries to ask what his name is and he plans to say the name were it not for the spear almost stabbing him so he flees. 'Ima (antares) Missing link of this illusion—> Ashborn with him being in disguise. (For context this is a few years after their first meeting. Ashborn set up to the world tree at 10, he met the dragon around 15, the dragon was also 15, and then Ashborn is here at 20, same with the dragon. Well it took quite a long time to get to that tree alright?)

I am not really here, I'm an intrusion: more days go by where Ahsborn is trying to find who that dragon man is, and keeps reapearing in some places making ruckus around plazas, trying to dimish the social morality of the 'perfect god' when all he does is sit upon the throne. Solaris listens to this and is the first to dispute it all but can't win against the troublemaker, whereas Ashborn just doesn't say anything and is truthful that since he has never seen it he can't make a judgment, but he isnt allowed to disrupt the places and thus at almost every point the dragon dissapears in some way but happy to have fought Ashborn.

I don't swim or sink, I just float: One of these days Ashborn gets up early to the academy and feels confused as to why everyone is different all of the sudden. A lot of the fragments are in missions around the universe except for him and Sunmask. Sunmask who has been here early tells him that everyone is going wild because 4 new students just joined in and ashborn goes to meet him and is, freaking struck by something when he meets the little dragon again, although this time he doesn't have the mask on, and neither does he but it's funny cuz Ashborn just blurts out Dragonewt, what he used to call him during the fights, and it always irritated him. And without missing a beat the dragon look alike human just grumbles angel (cuz he lso doesn't know his name) before immediately realizing (they both do) oh shit its YOU. 'I don't sink or swim' refering to Ashborn getting used to having a new set of wings, he only had one pair, and now he has two, but he still wants to discover something more than the skies, for example the oceans that Rainblood, yet another soon to be ruler, swims or Manaqi who sinks down the earth to gather precious materials. 'I just float' feels more like trapped in then skies for Ashborn than everything. And his wings were also the reason why he was late in the first place.

I don't need gravity, I just need growth: The dragon now named Ares keeps being better than ashborn at everything he does and all the rest of the angels and other beings keep praising him more than Ashborn. And Ashborn isn't jealous of the Fame, he really isn't and he is happy to not have it anymore. However Ares keeps teasing him personally and he can see it, the stares and the grins and how Ares always tries to pick him as a sparing partner, and he doesn't like it because it's just :/ it feels like he is trying to take revenge in him in some form. (He is not, the dragon is just stupid at communicating and thinks that if he becomes the best he can get noticed by ashborn, whereas Ashborn is trying to run away because he doesn't like THAT kind of drama.) 'I don't need gravity' is a reference to being pushed down to the second best spot by Ares and yet he doesn't mind it, he doesn't need any spot anyways. 'I just need growth' is more Ashborn still reflecting on trying to focus on his own weaknesses and not compare himself to Ares who keeps outgoing him in everything. (And tho he really means he doesn't care, the change still affects him, he feels a bit more distant to everyone and gets to see that there won't really be a lot of people who will stick with you if you aren't perfect enough. He does feel happy when he sees that Solaris, Sunmask and Manaqi are still his friends and can rely on them. Same with AI even though he knows AI doesn't really know about it.) (At this point he also meets someone really curious in AI which is Yoggumunt, they don't talk a lot but it's just to start introducing the new monarchs, the 4 students, that came here. And yeah everyone looks much younger here.)
