Chapter 6: Sky
Elizabeth: "Am I..."
Elizabeth reappears in the alley, wearing her tunic.
Elizabeth: "... what just happened to me?"
The chain is attached to her side.
Elizabeth: "The chain?"
No commotion about the guards chasing after Elizabeth has faded away.
Elizabeth: "(tearing up) I 'm finally free."
Elizabeth falls to her knees, crying tears of joy.
Elizabeth: "(crying) Finally..."
She wipes away her tears.
Elizabeth: "(calming down) Sun. Moon, and Star..."
She looks at her chain.
Elizabeth: "... why me?"
She stands back up.
Elizabeth: "I'd better find someplace to rest, but..."
She slinks deeper into the alley.
Elizabeth: "... no one would help someone like me."
People are heard laughing in the streets.
One hour later...
Elizabeth: "Wh-What?"
Elizabeth walk past dozens of sick, homeless, and starved people of all ages as she makes a turn at the end of the alley.
Elizabeth: "(horrified) What's the world coming to?"
She notices an area by some step leading up at the end where she could rest.
Elizabeth: "I have no choice."
She walks over and sits down on the steps.
Elizabeth: "My eyelids feel heavy..."
Elizabeth falls asleep against the wall as the sun sets.
Several hours later...
???: "The Star always dangles in the sky."
A loud explosion jumps Elizabeth back into reality.
Elizabeth: "(panicking) What just happened?!"
Citizens: "W-Wyverns!"
Elizabeth: "Wyverns?!"
Elizabeth jolts up, only for dozens of poor to send her crashing back into the ground.
Elizabeth: "H-Hey!"
She tries to get up and push someone out of the way, but her past won't let her.
Elizabeth: "I'll just wait."
All of the poor get past her, but it's already been too long.
Elizabeth: "O-Ok-"
Elizabeth has a sharp pain in her heart.
Elizabeth: "(in pain) What the?!"
She shakes it of just in time to avoid a crumbling building.
Elizabeth: "I-I have to go!"
She hurries towards the town square.
Half hour later...
Soldier: "We can't get anyone else inside!"
The shelter is packed just before Elizabeth can arrive in time.
Elizabeth: "No..."
Elizabeth is stuck outside with the Wyverns as they stare at her.
???: "The one born of the Star."
Elizabeth realizes that the Wyverns are speaking to her.
Elizabeth: "The Star..."
A Wyvern pins Elizabeth to the ground from behind with it's hind claws.
Elizabeth: "(struggling) Get off me!"
Wyverns: "Without one, the cycle can finally end."
Another Wyvern begins to prepare to crush Elizabeth's head.
Elizabeth: "(struggling) No!"
The Wyvern stops just before crushing her head.
Elizabeth: "H-Huh?"
The man's voice plays in her head as the pain courses through her body.
Man: "Stars are always twinkling in the sky."
Elizabeth: "(in pain) What?"
Wyvern scales begin growing out of Elizabeth's neck as her teeth begin to grow sharp.
Wyvern: "It's always pointless to kill them before they awaken."
The scales cover her right cheek and reach out just past her sleeves.
Elizabeth: "(darkly) Get off me."
The scales form around her left wrist.
Elizabeth: "(darkly) I said..."
The scales cover her stomach and back, then also her right elbow.
Elizabeth: "GET OFF!!!"
Elizabeth pushes herself up and knocking the Wyvern to the ground.
Man: "How bright is your Star?"
Elizabeth: "Enough."
Elizabeth looks towards the Wyverns.
Elizabeth: "I'm going to end this."
Elizabeth grabs the knocked over Wyvern by the tail before sending it flying out of the stratosphere.
Wyverns: "(understanding) Escape is pointless."
Elizabeth is no longer where she was standing before.
Elizabeth: "Sounds about right."
Elizabeth is above the Wyverns.
Wyverns: "The speed is the Star."
Elizabeth begins to unleash a flurry of punches as she descends, pummeling the Wyverns into a pulp.
Elizabeth: "You won't hurt anyone else ever again."
She begins moving lightning fast midair and attacking from different angles simultaneously.
Wyverns: "(in pain) But he's too late."
Wyvern blood begins to spill onto the ground.
Elizabeth: "He?"
All Wyverns drop dead by the final blow.
Elizabeth: "Guess it was overkill."
She lands on the ground as the scales retract and her teeth return to normal.
Elizabeth: "(drowsy) But what were they talking abou-"
Elizabeth falls to the ground, passing out upon contact...
