The edge of the players world.
A expanse that spread out to the north and south as far as the north most reaches of Esulius and the south most point of Norfova. Yet water does not fill this place. The strange unknown magic that could be felt across in the mysterious Kingdom of Tertoria seemed to bounce off a invisible barrier the moment it reached Astorean land. Dead, gray, faded Astorean land. Those in tune with magic would know. This was far from normal.
Nani said nothing as she walked. Guiding them to this edge. One a swordsman noble with few peers, another a aspiring paladin still seeking true justice, and finally a cold magical girl who learned through experience the less savory truths of Terrasphere. Yet...
They did not gain Nani's approval, but rather her anger.
We are here. I brought you as I said I would. To the source of The Fade.
Her head turned slightly to show a profile of her face. She seemed to almost be paling as the fog crept in from all sides. They party would feel the eyes of a unimaginable creature lurking somewhere... yet nowhere.
I did not like you from the moment I laid eyes on you. But... but you...
A hand reached up quickly for where a sword may have once been. It grasped a few times at the air above the empty sheathe. Nani's eye closed and a odd tight lipped smile crossed her now bleach white face. The fog covered her slowly as half her body became like a shadow. The party felt their needs meters unnaturally dropping. Their spirits being sapped without any clear signs other than the female before them, the eyes of the unknown, and the endless fog.
"Huehuehue.... Old habits die hard."
The voice was hollow. Nothing like the one she used earlier.
"All of you Astorean's share a type of arrogance that I have only seen in a few others in all my life.. If... if I could, I would enjoy debating you and put you in your place... You are.... so much like her. It only makes me hate you more. My days of arguing points and helping guide misguided children are over. You are correct... I have spent far too long in this canyon. I have wasted my little left time, conversing and advising you all. Why do I bother? She.... always said... I gave up too much... time....."
Her eye closed.
"The cause of this is Titanius. Titanius will.... not stop.... until it has devoured.... everything that is both physical.... and magical in this plane. All will be.... devoured so that it.... may rise above. Death cannot stop the progress of revenge,. Death cannot end the rebirths of new dawns. It cannot.... end the final twilight."
Her eye reopened widely as the veins in her face began to throb.
"Roland, leader of Astoreans. Fight. Fight and watch them fail. I've given you more than enough reason arrogant Duke."
The fog covered her and she was gone.
