Shadow Slave

1518 Ruin
Standing on the crumbling wall of the floating fortress, Sunny saw the light grow
dim above Twilight. For a moment, everything was still.
And then, the entire world was suddenly drowned in white radiance, blinding him.
Stunned, he raised a hand to cover his eyes and saw a pristine star ignite in the
heart of the distant city. It swelled, growing into a massive sphere of furious
flame.
Everything happened in an instant.
The buildings nearest to the white star simply dissolved in its pure light,
evaporating. Those further away exploded into dust and were erased from
existence by an obliterating shockwave. Those behind them were flattened and
melted, turning to ash from the immolating heat.
A wave of incinerating fire, taller than the towering walls of the city, spread
outward at lightning speed, consuming everything in its path — buildings, trees,
cobblestones, even air itself... and all the tiny human figures flooding the
crumbling streets.
Behind it, the furious star rose and deformed, slowly turning into a mushroom
cloud of incandescent white flame. The pillar of fire supporting it dwarfed
everything, reaching toward the sky.
'W—what..."
Even driven into madness by fury, he was momentarily paralyzed by the
harrowing splendor of that inconceivable sight. Twilight... Twilight was being
destroyed in front of his eyes.
...That was when the invisible shockwave reached the fortress, shattering its
walls and throwing him down.
The deafening roar of the explosion came next, shaking the world.
Sunny plummeted from the broken wall and hit the cold stones with a sickening
sound. Bouncing off the hard surface, he rolled and then instinctively covered his
head with his hands. In the next moment, a rain of stone debris fell down,
pummeling him like crushing hail.
“Who... who dares..."
Deaf from the cataclysmic roar of the blast, he screamed furiously and tried to
stand up. Something hit him on the head, but Sunny did not care. Hunched, he
rose from the ground and peered into the dust that had enveloped everything
around, searching for the massive figure of the dragon.
So what if all of Twilight was devoured by flame? So what if it seemed like the sky
had been shattered and fell down?
He was still going to kill the hateful worm...
'...Why is it so dark?"
The colossal pillar of flame had reached the heavens and collapsed on itself, torn
apart by the wind. The furious light of the pure white star had dimmed and
disappeared, plunging the world into darkness.
Avast cloud of ash rose into the air and obscured the seven suns, turning the
twilight of dawn into a lightless gloom of dark devastation.

Far away, in the scorched desert that had been Twilight, ash fell from the sky like
snow. In the heart of the ruined city, nothing but darkness remained. Even the air
itself had been burned away by the inconceivable heat of the obliterating
explosion, and so there were no flames burning on the blackened stones.
The only source of illumination in that dark abyss was a radiant figure that stood
amidst the destruction, surrounded by ash and ruins. It was slowly coalescing
back into the shape of a beautiful young woman from pure light.
Her brilliant skin did not have a single blemish on it, and her shining hair flowed
like incandescent silver, emanating a blinding white radiance.
Her pristine light reflected in the boiling water, creating a small island of light in
the sea of searing darkness. Twilight was still and silent, with nothing but water
moving on its vast, smoldering expanse.
The numerous human bodies of Soul Stealer were all gone, devoured by the
merciless flames and turned to ash.
The Nightmare Creatures who had battled against them were gone, too.
Only Nephis remained, illuminating the darkness with her light.
...And because she was the only one left, the indestructible reflection of the
sinister mirror fiend had nowhere to go but into the depths of her radiant,
harrowing eyes.

Nephis was standing on the surface of a calm ocean. The world around her was
suffused with sunlight, and the perfectly still water below her bare feet glowed
beautifully, reflecting the brilliance of heaven.
It was as if she was standing on a sea of golden clouds, awash in breathtaking
light.
Seven suns shone brightly above her head.
She looked at them impassively.
She had felt the terrible agony of one of her soul cores — the Terror Core —
destroying itself before. But so many Defiled abominations had been consumed
by the unleashed flames of her soul that it was reformed anew.
With it, the seventh core was born.
The last core.
The pain of its creation had already passed, and Nephis was a Titan now.
She looked away from the seven suns and gazed silently at the only spot of dirt
and darkness in her perfectly radiant world. Out there, some distance away, a
repulsive creature stood, staring at her with mirror-like eyes.

Soul Stealer grinned, reaching forward with countless hands.
He called her name with countless voices.
His countless eyes festered with hatred and greed.
But also fear.
Nephis looked at him with contempt.
Her even voice echoed across the radiant expanse, uttering a single word:
"...Bumn."
And then, the beautiful landscape of her soul changed.

Most harrowing of all, though, was the light of the seven suns.
Because here in the sea of Changing Star's soul, there was no escape from their
incinerating rays.
The radiance of the seven suns swelled, turning the calm ocean into an
incandescent white void.
And, trapped in that merciless void... Soul Stealer burned.
