I jump into the air and I land on storms last hope. I quickly look around the whole place. Nothing seems too damaged. Thankfully.
"You know, in my whole life i never got into situations quite as dangerous as what you've roped me into, you know?"
I glance over at noctis.
"I'm... sorry."
He waves me off a smile on his face.
"No no. Its fine. I quite like getting out and about. Seeing the world and all that"
I nod slowly
"although it was certainly unique seeing what my home became, I'm not sure if I truly can dislike it. Never thought I'd feel so home sick"
oh.
"And Cassia better be taking good care of my ship, even more so after what she did to it"
oh yeah. I'll have to make that carving in it for younger me.
"Your forgetting to speak again"
"oh sorry noctis. Yeah her and the fire keepers have been taking good care of it"
he smiles for a second before his face drops.
"They wouldnt..."
I glance back and.... its changing stars dream gate, and the chain breaker.
"Way to prove me wrong."
The ship flies next to the runic hall thing of nightgarden. Aether glances over at slightly pale, and slightly frost bitten complexion to him
"Oh... hey. You lowered your ship"
I nod
"had to. You'll all be leaving then. Makes sense. If you're ever in ravenheart, feel free to come to the cold death zone right by it. That area is under my control"
he makes quite the incredulous face.
"Yeah. Sure."
The ship takes off flying. I can hear noctis still quietly cursing that his ship is in such danger. Soon I step off of the ship on the palace island
"hey everyone. Oh thats where you went."
Its entropy, next to a now very uncomfortable looking nightwalker.
"Take your echo back. She's demented"
oh damnation
"that's quite the switch up you've made."
He scoots away from her, who's in a fake innocent way of standing
"even i have my limits"
I glance at sunny and neph
"okay kiss-less dwebs it's about time to fight"
sunny seems bothered, neph seems mildly amused, and nightwalker is confused.
"Are.... are you sure you aren't siblings with the lord of shadows?"
Heh?
"Yeah i am."
I stand on the bow of storms last hope raining spears on the ghost ships. Every minute another of the siege engines go off. Oh that is nice, a good trickle of essence.
"Aren't you going to use a bow?"
I dont look back at noctis, now embarrassed
"no no. This seems like a better strategy"
I'll need to check in on everything. I summon the mirror to float next to me, the other next to cassie.
"■■■■!"
I glance over
"yes?"
I glance back as a figure lands on the ship. It's velvet who's massively panicked. She's desperately pointing to the east. She lifts a note book on it
"madness of kanakht?"
It seems I'll have a better battle.
"To the east noctis. Drop me off there and continue here"
I glance at the mirror
"all of parts of Kanakht seem to be here"
oh come on!
I land down on the water. I glance at the....who the hell is that?
"Who is that neph?"
She seems more then a little scared. Although it's a fake kind of fear
"I'll leave this to you. Mind attacks are your thing after all"
and she's gone.
"A little rude."
I look back at the weirdly guy. Why is he now a different person? Is that... Gunlaug?
"well its been some time ice hunter"
oh fuck.
"So... so your a shape shifter. Can't be original can you, madness of Kanakht?"
He tilts his head
"your the one to say that."
I scowl lifting my daggers
"and what does that mean?"
He takes a step forward. I want to step back.
"Isn't all you do, copy others?"
His form shifts to... that fuck! How dare it take the form of Kelly!
"You copy her after her death, the death you could have prevented if you worked harder."
It turns into healer
"how many of the dreamer army died due to your inaction. Your weakness has caused so many to die."
It shakes it head
"truly. Your a sad creature."
I slowly start cracking up
"really. Really? Aren't you the one who went and angered a god? Aren't you the one who went mad because of so many years of immortality? Aren't you the one who planned on killing your whole kingdom for your selfish wants? Most of what I do might be unoriginal but, frankly at least I care, at least I look out for others, at least I'm not alone and insane."
It goes to speak again, but I simply lift my dagger and i blow it away with a massive push of wind
"truly a coward"
I jump into the air my wings opening up. How had it gotten so distracted? It seems the flesh of Kanakht is now a titan. Unfortunately for it, I have my own supreme titan. In a massive boom its cut in half as two figures rise to meet it, the king of ashes and changing star. I turn back to the dark mist rushing towards me. I fly around slowing it down using snow storm. I summon the mirror back and I glance at it.
"Entropy, what's the plan here?"
She glances at the mirror, her veil is off and there's a devious look in her eyes.
"You know theres-"
I cut her off
"I don't need to know it, whats the damn plan!?"
She laughs
"prepare the speech. I will take on the madness. You go for the flesh."
I nod flying off. Wind and white flames rush past me.
I assign ashes to help with the soul fight. I change my size to match that of the newly formed titan and I simply crash into it. We land on the falling apart city. It cries out in anger, in hate, in sorrow. I lift the two daggers and I start stabbing. Die die die die. Just die already! After each cut the flesh around it slowly comes back together. It tries to take control of my body, but I simply break off those chunks and I recreate it, I'm a self healer too dip shit! I freeze for a second as I hear laughter. Don't look back. I can't look back. That laughter is filled with madness, no insanity. Pure insanity. Its like thousands of voices laughing in pure glee. Is she in her transcendent form? She was once a human after all. I jump off of it as the mass of flesh starts moving, trying to swallow me. Although, its odd. It's getting more and more.... unstable. Wait. Well then i guess I'll have to make my speech.
"Those of this city hear me, and hear me well!"
It seems entropy awakened the minds of the Immortals and super charged them. Their minds didn't seem to have been 100% gone, and thus she pulled on them.
"Will you let this creature take hold of your body, your mind, your very soul!? Or will you fight!?"
I burst to the side dodging a swipe of flesh that's becoming more and more unstable, closer and closer to falling apart.
"This is your home it stole from you! It has take so much! Help me, no help us fight this creature back!"
Even if for only a few moments I feel a person enter my domain. Their soul broken trying so hard to fight back, yet so full of hope.
"You aren't alone, it is only one beast, together we can take back whats been stolen!"
I feel more and more souls enter my domain reaching for me, and I reach back.
"May we defeat this foe together!"
I let myself fall, I gather all of the power I have, and more thanks to the Immortals and I let it all go in one single burst of ice.
