Darkness.
Not black.
Not white.
Something beyond both.
Elios drifted silently through an endless void where neither time nor space seemed to exist properly.
There was no ground beneath him.
No sky above him.
No sound.
Only silence.
An unbearable silence.
His body had already begun disappearing.
Fragments of black particles drifted away from his arms slowly like ash carried by invisible wind.
But strangely—
there was no pain anymore.
Only emptiness.
Elios slowly opened his eyes.
"…Where…"
His voice faded immediately into nothing.
No answer came.
The White Domain was gone.
The gods were gone.
Everything was gone.
Even the black flow around him had weakened into faint drifting shadows.
Elios slowly looked at his own hand.
Transparent.
Breaking apart little by little.
"…So this is what's left…"
Not human.
Not alive.
Not dead.
Just… remaining.
Fragments of memory drifted through the void around him faintly.
His father smiling.
Kael laughing.
Mira calling him brother.
Then—
blood.
The village.
The screams.
The bodies.
Elios immediately closed his eyes tightly.
"…Stop…"
But memories no longer obeyed him.
They simply existed around him endlessly.
Repeating.
Over.
And over.
Time passed.
Or maybe it didn't.
Inside this place, Elios could no longer tell.
Days.
Years.
Centuries.
Everything felt meaningless here.
At first—
he waited.
For the gods.
Surely they would return.
Surely they would try to erase him completely.
But no one came.
Silence remained.
Elios slowly realized the truth.
The gods had stopped searching.
Or perhaps—
they simply could not find him anymore.
A faint laugh escaped him weakly.
"…So even gods can lose things…"
The void swallowed the sound immediately.
More of his body disappeared.
His legs faded slowly into drifting particles.
Then part of his chest.
The strange thing was—
his soul still remained.
Held together by something beyond understanding.
By hatred?
By regret?
Or by Black Veil itself?
Elios no longer knew.
The only thing that remained completely intact…
Was his consciousness.
And somehow—
that felt crueler than death.
More time passed.
The memories slowly became harder to hold onto.
His father's voice faded first.
Then Kael's face.
Then even the village itself started becoming unclear.
Elios panicked for the first time in what felt like eternity.
"No…"
His voice sounded weak now.
"…Don't…"
If he forgot them—
then what was left of him?
The void remained silent.
Then suddenly—
something changed.
A pulse.
Very faint.
Very distant.
But real.
Elios' eyes widened slightly.
For the first time in endless emptiness—
he felt another presence.
Weak.
Small.
But strangely compatible.
Not divine.
Not monstrous.
Human.
And yet—
not fully bound by the world either.
The black fragments drifting around Elios reacted immediately.
Slowly.
Drawn toward that distant existence instinctively.
Elios stared into the endless darkness silently.
"…What…"
The pulse came again.
Faint.
Like a heartbeat echoing across worlds.
And deep inside himself—
something responded.
Not Black Veil.
Not hatred.
Something older.
Loneliness.
For the first time in endless isolation—
Elios no longer felt completely alone.
Far away—
in another place…
another time…
A boy named Cain opened his eyes.
And somewhere beyond reality—
the forgotten anomaly silently watched.
End Of Season 2 — Elios Arc.
