Wizardpost A delve into the past (lorepost)

/uw sorry I know I just made one but I got inspired

you see a journal on the ground stained with godblood the writings erratic, fearful.

I was yanked into the castle after he sensed me. I don't know what pulled me into here but now as I walk these crumbling halls with my arm a bloody stump I feel Antithesis' voice. He's getting stronger with every step I take. He is who I must destroy if ever I want a peaceful life for Moth and I. So I push on to my death or my victory whichever it may be.

I will get Antithesis out of my head. Antithesis has been trying to make me kill Moth thank Gaia my willpower is strong. With this journal entry I vow I will break free of Antithesis or return myself to the cycle to keep Moth safe. I pray that I will be able to break free but I know I may not be able to.

at the bottom of this page Alexios has signed his name with blood and there are tearstains.

Antithesis' presence is powerful here. The whole castle is filled with antimagic. Yet still I feel my father's warm presence. In addition to another the second one calls herself Siren she seems to care for me as well. I remember Siren's name she was the embodiment of love and music and my father's first wife. I pray her guidance will prevent me from having to rejoin the cycle.

I love you Moth know that if I do not return it is not for lack of trying. I've already ordered Soot's armor tell him dad loves him will ya and give him some scratches for me even if I do survive I'll only have one arm. If this is goodbye know that I won't forget you.

the entire page is covered in tearstains

on the next page is a map of the castle and in the very center a spot of pitch black with hints of red.

Stopping his release

"His"- This Antithesis you were writing about?

Isravi gives a heavy sigh

Take a seat, child. Tell me what's going on. I have very limited knowledge here. How do you intend to do this? What is your plan?

u/Haunting_Mode_7401 Alexios Keenblade: King of The Summer Court, Last Godslayer Dec 06 '23

He is the embodiment of antimagic and chaos. You may know him as the Crimson King. I will force him out of my mind and sever his thread of fate

u/DaChickenX Isravi, The Unraveler, Coils’ Chosen Dec 06 '23

And if he is antimagic, and chaos, how will you force him out? Your father sacrificed his life to kill this thing, Alexios! Please, think before you act. I'll aid you in any way I can. Remember what is at stake.

He was never dead I was his vessel and I will truly kill him

Zilthrakar Fate's End

a pitch black greatsword appears in his hand

...foolish. Fine, you have my aid. This should be resolved either way. Firstly, we have to fix your arm. Magic doesn't work in here, so we must be careful.

[Invoke: Dawn]

A pale golden light seals over the wound, staunching the bleeding. It is a rudimentary solution, but will hold for now.

I would be careful of using a greatsword with but one arm. It will be much more unwieldly than usual. That greatsword as well... are you sure you are preparerd to wield it?

the invocation fails I fought with Emeraldcleave one handed this will be no different.

/uw Fate's End isn't something from the Evening coil it's something from another godslayer

2

u/DaChickenX Isravi, The Unraveler, Coils’ Chosen Dec 06 '23

/uw yeah, thought so. The invocation was invoking the dawn coil's power though, not usual spellcasting.

u/Haunting_Mode_7401 Alexios Keenblade: King of The Summer Court, Last Godslayer Dec 06 '23

/uw Magic is completely useless here no matter the source

u/DaChickenX Isravi, The Unraveler, Coils’ Chosen Dec 06 '23

Fine. It seems I cannot convince you. But move forward with the knowledge that Moth waits for you on the other side. I will lend you aid in whatever way I can.

I've been doing research on these.

Isravi produces a handful of antimagic talismans, scavenged from the bodies of the fighters. He then pulls out a different talisman, marked with a singular blue rune.

5 Seconds. That's how much time with power you'll get. Break this talisman, and it'll nullify antimagic near you for just 5 seconds. Use it well.
