Chapter 32: The Eclipse and the World
Lyra: "What about them being Constellations?"
The black mist is pouring out the cave like the aftermath of a broken dam.
Eclipse: "Didn't I say? Those three were potential Constellations... until my brother got a hold of them."
The man is trying to get to his knees, but he's coughing blood like a madman.
World: "(weakly) We can find a balance..."
Eclipse: "No, everyone and everything that isn't a Wyvern has no purpose."
He looks back at the heroes.
Eclipse: "With our souls in an eternal link, I know what you've seen."
Ara: "What they've seen?"
He walks up to them, nice and slow.
Eclipse: "One who's home was burned to the ground as others watched and let him suffer..."
Marcus locks up.
Eclipse: "... one who had no family when all he had left faded away and no one ever gave him a second look..."
Nicholas locks up.
Eclipse: "... and a girl who's family was murdered out of jealousy and was sold into slavery with no remorse."
Elizabeth locks up.
Eclipse: "Humans are cruel and vile beings that don't care about their surroundings or each other."
World: "(weakly) Don't listen..."
Pyxis: "Wow..."
They can feel as though a bottle they've been keeping shut as tightly as possible is about to burst open.
Dorado: "Then why are you on his side?! You see what humans can do!"
World lets three tiny orbs of light form in his hand.
World: "(weakly) Because they know what he really wants!"
He tosses the orbs straight at them, pulling them back to their senses.
Heroes: "You're not going to stop at humans"
A slight smirk forms on his face.
Eclipse: "(smirking) Now I have to put an end to more than just my greatest enemies."
Their allies realize exactly what they meant by that.
Orion: "What didn't you tell us?!"
Eclipse's entire stance goes from calm and negotiable to malicious and determined.
Eclipse: "Remember when I said anything that isn't a Wyvern doesn't have a purpose?"
The air grows cold.
Crux: "Y-You're actually going to destroy Teria?!"
Eclipse: "And why shouldn't I?"
They feel as though a truth hiding just beneath their noses just finally came up to say hello.
Vulpecula: "Why?!"
Lupus: "We'll kill you!"
This revelation has completely turned them over to the side of justice.
Eclipse: "I don't need you anymore anyways."
The heroes ready their default stances.
Marcus: "That's why we're fighting."
Nicholas: "We know humans are cruel and heartless, but at least they won't turn the place we call a home into ash!"
Elizabeth: "Everyone here will defeat you once and for all!"
Eclipse looks back at his dying brother.
Eclipse: "I almost had them."
World: "(weakly) That's why I did it."
Their eyes are sparking.
Marcus: "Don't worry, we'll make this quick!"
Eclipse looks back.
Eclipse: "Then I'll take care of your final cycle."
The final battle has begun...
