Godless Knight: Ark's Story

Do you remember me?

I remember you

Are the words you utter to Selena as she stares you down, Lexida in her hand and a defiant look on her face. You remember the little Sama girl with the longsword, always one to prove just how good she was.

Selena shakes her head.

"No, Oracle Knight."

"But I know what you are. An ENEMY TO ELGAIA!"

She does not lunge, she does not block, she does not move. She lets the blade touch her, poke through all those layers of flesh, blood and bone and ultimately, press, like a lover's hand, to her heart. It beats feebly and softly. It is pierced. Her gaze does not flinch, it is unfaltering.

"L-Lexida, F-father, I am sorry."

Ice-blue eyes with equally cold fire in them. How Arius, Mega, Stya called them. The fire is quenched, and the ice is hardening. They close and her ribcage's motion stops. The icy cold is over.

You can hear, and so can I, the sounds of Sama and Savat people alike, wailing for their god-killer, their true hero, the Ice Legend Selena. Only a legend now. Arius and Lucina will find her, dying with that fierce defiant fire.

They will hunt you down. You must find Iria and leave with her. Leave this land, go to Lucius' Gate, escape to Kikuri's world.

One down, five to go. Iria, I'm coming for you.

Lucius watches you. You don't know, but I do. I know your demise is coming. Clearly as Maxwell's defeat by Kanon, Kanon's own downfall by Tora's power, the fall of Zevalhua, Zurg's last breath.

The Earth Legend's next. You are hardly strained from you battle with Selena, and its obvious he is just as weakened. But still, Drevas is with him. What a fool. Then again, what does one expect from a simple pikeman? Drevas is, after all, his world now.

Rowgen is dead. But Lidith and that annoying archer, ah yes, Gaia Bow Lario, will be back soon. Make this quick.

And so, you do. Like Selena, he gives himself up, but just as your sword is poised above him, Drevas takes action.

Vines clamber up his body like a forest. Bark grows over some. Lance is changing.

A tree.

Fine, a plant is good as gone. Magress, you're next.

The young girl bows to Maxwell, Cardes, Zevalhua, Afla Dilith. "Masters, I swear I shall exterminate Oracle Knight Ark for all that he has done! He will not live!" Maxwell speaks. "Coronides, our time comes soon. Promise us he shall join us in the Spirit World." "Yes, masters. He will."

The Dark Legend, huh? Narza gave up his life for that one. Oh well, Magress has to die anyways. You raise the sword. I am by your side.

You do not see me. How ironic. The undefeated Oracle Knight will die.
