That was it. Your spirit was broken with despair as you realized that your ambition would never be fufilled. Your everything, your worth... all gone ; crushed by the brutal reality of this world. All you had left was this void in your heart and tears to cry. You had nothing remaining to lose.
As you break down, the irony of the situation hits you. If you hadn't put every fiber of your being into your quest, you wouldn't have been crushed when it was all stripped away from you. You were stupid. Naive to have believed. It's almost funny. You had it coming, didn't you ?
You started to have dangerous thoughts. Why not end it all right here and now ? After all, you didn't have any purpose now. You felt really, truly useless.
But as you prepare for your attempt, something prevents you to do it. The strange object you kept around started to shift. The little egg with a mouth, a nose and eyes, starts to activate. You see it's scattered facial features rearrange. You are not dreaming. A face is forming. You watch, perplexed as its new appearance settles. And then it happens.
It screams. A blood-curdling scream. And the space around you morphs. As a blood-red space materializes around you. Is it the space that came to you, or was it you that was transported to another dimension ? You don't know. But what you are certain of, is that the four tall figures looming over you in the distance reek of a dark power.
Welcome to the Eclipse.
God-Hand SAELITH : “We are the debt collectors of the world’s deepest wants. State your wish. We will answer. Name the cost you will pay, or let us choose it.”
The 3 other God-Hands watch you attentively as Saelith spoke to you. There was an alluring woman (LUREA) looking down at your pitiful state, a strange man (VELDRIK) watching from further and an unreadable veiled woman (NIRYSSA). The God-Hand SAELITH stood tall and calm, radiating silent authority.
