Eclipse accepted the bunch of charms in his open hand, all the while standing strong and proud before Kiyoki, respecting him as an equal, yet showing no deference. The moment he touched the wad of charms, he felt the power in them and recognized it. It was the same magic that he had felt before, flowing through everything, tainting this place like a giant spider's web. Kiyoki had his hand in everything in this realm. He was the source of the illusory sinister force. Fortunately, Eclipse knew that Kiyoki was sincere about his wards. He wanted the hydra stopped as much as anyone else or more, and these wards weren't some kind of a trap for Eclipse and the outsiders. Somehow knowing the customs, Eclipse bowed and spread his wings before vanishing into thin air. 

There wasn't time to explain. Eclipse would do just as instructed, just as promised, however, there would be one little change. It wouldn't be Iomedae channeling the Emperor's worship. Being a lesser god himself, and being physically and spiritually present, Eclipse would provide a much better choice as a focus for all that power. He would call upon his matron goddess for aid, but he would be doing the work. 

Very quickly, he flew in blinks to even points around Yamato and set the magical wards of paper. They floated obediently in the air where they were placed. Eclipse would fight to bring this titan down, but afterward, he would need to confront Kiyoki about the hidden truth.
