*As thunder and lightning crashed around them, the mighty storm dragon's maws snapped down on its opponent.
 	
*Saerenthis: Mnahn' hlirgh...!
*With one last pained snarl, Saerenthis thrusts his relic forward with a burst of eldritch energy.

*Tevarius: Ah...
*Tevarius: This is familiar.
*Tevarius: I'm falling. Again.
*Tevarius: ...I'm a terrible dragon. I can't even stay aloft.
*Tevarius hits the surface of the lake, plunging into depths deeper than was possible.
*It swallows him whole, an interminable darkness blocking out the distant flashes of lightning,
*leaving only the faint aura of divinity emanating from his body.
 	
*???: ... ...
 	
*Tevarius: ...?
*Tevarius: (Who...)
 	
*???: ... ...
*???: <Insolent whelp.>
*???: <You dare strike my priest...>
*???: <Mark my words...mark this curse upon your very soul...>
*???: <You shall be the first I personally drown.>
*The figure draws itself out of the abyss, and a phantom force throttles Tevarius's neck.
 	
*Tevarius: (Gghh...Aaagghh!)
*Tevarius: (I can't...breathe...)
 	
*???: <Remember, and remember well, whelp!>
*???: <So that in your last throes, you may beg the Goddess of the Endless Abyss for mercy!>
 	
*Tevarius: Tso...vi...nar...
*Tevarius: *choke*

*Tevarius: Hhhhrrk...
*Tevarius sits up and coughs violently, spewing water and flecks of blood onto the ground.
 	
*Tevarius: Where in the seven heavens have I been?
 	
*Juno-Seto: Tevarius! Are you all right?!
 	
*Tevarius: I haven't perished yet, I think.
*Tevarius dusts himself off, and looks around. The Naga are nowhere to be seen.
*Tevarius: (I'm in a completely different part of the plains.)
*Tevarius: (What WAS that...?)
 	
*Juno-Seto: I felt that sweeping blanket of energy... but I could do nothing to help.
*Juno-Seto: Just like...back then...
 	
*Tevarius: I'm fine now. Thank you, Juno.
*Tevarius: The rains have stopped, so I'm sure the flooding will subside soon.
*Tevarius: I hope those Naga will think twice about coming here again.
 	
*Tevarius: If it wasn't for you I'd have drowned in my own altar. Thank you.
 	
*Juno-Seto: I am glad, Tevarius.
*Juno-Seto: What will you do now?
 	
*Tevarius: The Sage should know of this. It involves her Vale, after all.
 	
*Tevarius: I fear there's more to come...especially after what I've seen.

*Tevarius: (Tsovinar...)
*Tevarius puts a hand to his throat and winces. No dream or nightmare could be this vivid.
 	
*Tevarius: Looks like there's a lot for me to catch up on...
 	
*Juno-Seto: I will be here, Tevarius. I have little power left, but I will do my best to aid you.
*Juno-Seto: Go now. I trust you will extend your protection beyond these lands.
*Juno-Seto: May your golden splendor bring light to the earth, great dragon...
 	
*Juno-Seto fades away, leaving a bright whisper on the wind.
 	
*Tevarius: ...I wish I was half the "great dragon" you made me out to be, Juno.
*Tevarius: What have I gotten myself into?
*Tevarius stands and looks far into the distance.
*The lingering rains fell warmly about him, bringing what little solace they could to the storm dragon.
 	
*Yet, the sinking feeling in his heart had far from abated.
*Slowly, surely, the darkness would return to drown them all...

*Zeruiah: ... ...
*Zeruiah: A chill on the wind.
*Phantom flickers of fire dance in her mind, a vestige of the visions she had seen.
*Zeruiah: Eirwen...What would you have me do?
*Zeruiah: I do not wish for more bloodshed.
 	
*Zeruiah clenches the small silver pendant close to her heart.
*Zeruiah: But neither do I wish fire—OUR fire—to be our ruin.
