She was fascinated by the stories the engine and the star rails had in store. It remained so for many years until Himeko discovered its existence. The express could barely run as the blight expanded, and had no choice but to stop when the rails became overly obstructed. However, as the Cancer of All Worlds continue to spread, the star rail that the express runs on also fell victim.

She would repair the train years later to begin her journey across the universe.Īfter the fall of Akivili, the Aeon of the Trailblaze, their trailblazing will was inherited by their followers called the Nameless, including the Astral Express that the Aeon once rode on. The Astral Express was later discovered by Himeko during her childhood, during which she became fascinated about the stories of the engine. As a result, the Nameless faction decided to abandon it after the rails have long been obstructed. When the Stellaron began to spread, the star rail also fell victim under its influence to the point where the train could barely function at all. Shortly after the fall of the Aeon, the Nameless took upon Akivili's trailblazing legacy. In the past, the Astral Express was first bestowed by Akivili. The Astral Express was created by Akivili, the Aeon of the Trailblaze, and legends claim that Akivili's heart powers the Astral Express' core - although Himeko found no evidence to support that claim while repairing the train.
