It's all over. The Meropide seal stands broken. The Primordial Sea has burst forth, and the Hydro Sovereign stands there, drenched and horrified at his supposed 'carelessness.'

Fontaine no longer exists. Neuvillette's pale face grows as pallid as his hair, and he gazes on, in shock and horror. Melusines are the only population left standing, their little paws helping the other ones get back to their feet, wringing their clothes of the magical, all-destroying water. The flood doesn't affect them, after all, they are creatures of the sea itself, as is the Iudex. But the people of Fontaine were only human... The cane clatters to the ground from his hands, and Neuvillette collapses to his knees in sheer shock. The prophecy... finally became reality. I have failed... A small noise distracts him. It is coming from the waterproofed chambers of what's left of the Fortress of Meropide. Is this a hallucination? He wonders wildly to himself, convinced he's going to lose sense of self soon. Clawing at rapidly withdrawing hope, he staggers to the door and slams it open. "Is t-there someone alive in here.....?"
