Legacy of Darkness

Roisin and Treleva rematerialized in the middle of a street in the town of Rivenlake. The same street where Roisin had been attacked by a fiend a few years ago.

Remnants of the Crystech soldiers who once patrolled the town remained. One of their vehicles and several empty tents. Roisin sighed and looked at Treleva.

"What do you want from me?" Roisin asked.

"I want nothing from you, I just need to be rid of you" Treleva shrugged.

"You're afraid of me?" Roisin smirked.

"No, little girl, I am not afraid of you. I'm not afraid of Lumina or Abyssia. Not any more" Treleva laughed.

"You where once afraid of them?" Roisin asked, as she looked at her surroundings.

"Yes, in my past life" Treleva replied.

"I see" Roisin nonchalantly responded. Treleva shrugged. Roisin turned to look at Treleva, with fire in her eyes. Her fist was glowing in flame, she went to hit Treleva with the flaming fist.

He blocked the punch and grabbed onto Roisin's hand.

"Ah! No! Stop!" Roisin begged. Treleva crushed her hand, turning her bones to dust. Roisin cried out in pain, her eyes glowed scarlet and her second fist glowed even brighter, but before she could throw the punch, Trevela kicked her backwards, breaking her ribs and her arms.

Roisin struggled to breathe as Treleva made his way over.

"I am sorry you got caught up in all this, truly" Treleva apologized as he prepared to stamp on Roisin's chest and kill her. As he went to stamp he was thrown across the street. Roisin looked up to see Iceman, Iceman cast a wall off thick ice between them and Treleva.

"Roisin... I'm sorry" Bryan frowned. It was his own voice, he knelt down and put his hand on Roisin's chest, suddenly Roisin began to feel more powerful, Bryan was channelling the Ice Crystal into Roisin. Treleva was back on his feet and running toward the icewall, but was knocked off his feet from a missile from above.

It was the Silver Dart airship, from Disceath. Seb, General Harry Summers and Chrys Iryn jumped out of the airship. Treleva rose to his feet.

"Hmm, cannon fodder" Treleva laughed. Chrys ran at Treleva, with a spear.

"Leave her alone!" Chrys yelled as he charged. Treleva brushed the lance aside and punched through Chrys' chest. He fell to the floor lifeless. A tear fell from Roisin's eye, as yet another life was sacrificed for her.

The Silver Dart landed nearby, and someone came running out. Bryan finally finished channeling the Ice Crystal into Roisin, released from the ice, he collapsed.

"Tell Anya... I'm sorry" He said, before he closed his eyes.

Seb and Harry stood defiant against Treleva, unflinched by the death of Chrys.

"If this is how I meet the gods, then so be it!" Harry yelled as he charged his Celestial Weapon, and charged. Treleva summoned his Infernal Weapon and parried Harry's blow. Harry went in for another attack, but his Celestial Blade shattered upon impacting the Infernal Weapon. The Infernal Weapon went straight through his chest and killed him instantly.

The person reached Roisin and picked her up, Roisin looked up to see their face, half in a daze. It was Amanda.

"I'm gonna get you out of here" Amanda said, with tears running down her cheeks, she ran back to the Silver Dart and boarded.

Seb now stood alone against Treleva. He resigned to his fate, but refused to go out without a fight.

"I'll be proud if this is what I died for. After Avadey, I've felt the need to redeem myself. Now is my chance" He said, looking back at Amanda. "Go!" He yelled. Amanda nodded and took Roisin to the med bay, the plotted in a course to the autopilot.

Back down on the ground, Treleva prepared to attack the airship, he threw his Infernal Weapon in the air, directly toward the ship. Instead, the weapon stopped as his impaled Seb, who had jumped into the air. Seb fell to the ground and doubled over.

"Hah! Too bad" Seb laughed, as he coughed up blood.

"I'll find them... they can't run from me" Treleva shrugged as he grabbed his weapon and prepared to teleport, just before he cast the spell, a deafening roar echoed across the town of Rivenlake, buildings collapsed from the shockwave.

Arranthian flew over, and cast a glyph upon Treleva.

"NO!" Treleva shouted.

Arranthian landed and gazed at Treleva.

"What... what did you do?" Seb asked, still holding on.

"Glyph magic is the one thing that stops the Greater Beings' magic, without it, he is powerless, excommunicated" Arranthian explained.

"So, it's over?" Seb asked.

"For now, at least" Arranthian nodded.

Treleva looked at Arranthian.

"When I have regained the power of the Infernal Ones, I will come for you" Treleva swore.

"I await that day with great patience" Arranthian roared.

"Kill him now..." Seb coughed.

"I cannot, I cast the glyph upon him, if I was to consume the glyph, it would break, and he would regain his power and kill me" Arranthian frowned. "I can however do this" He smirked as he knocked Treleva flying into the far-flung distance. "He may have lost the power of the gods, but he still controls the Celestial power" Arranthian said, he looked down at Seb, who was slowly fading away.

"I'm... I'm sorry I wasn't more use" Seb coughed.

"I am sorry I was too late, child. It was most unorthodox for Abyssia to contact me, but I came as soon as I heard that Syl's brethren was in peril" Arranthian explained. "He will be full glad you gave it your all to protect her, Sebastien" He said, as tear began to form in his huge dragon eye.

"Forgive me..." Sebastien said as he closed his eyes. The Survivor of Terrana's soul faded away. Away to its new destination, to where Abyssia had commanded Sebastien to go. His soul was given to strengthen Roisin's once more, to help her bear the weight of the element of ice.

Aboard the airship, Roisin had fallen into a coma. Amanda sighed and held her hand.

"Hang in there, Roisin" She sighed.
