Artifact

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*The light blasts into my chest, without breaking skin but is sent sliding a short ways away from its impact. I lean to the side slightly, then suddenly explode from my current position, disappearing from view while a black, cyclonic inferno roars to life where you stand*

@Galaxy Raider

*Dashes backward without any apparent movement of my wings, and casts a golden light around the planet, highlighting the position of any living being*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Grabs the arm and removes the claw from my palm, and it begins to regenerate while burning with a slow black ember*
What kind of afterlife were they denied?

@Galaxy Raider

*Extends my hand to you, palm forward*
I'll gift you the opportunity to find out for yourself.
*The movement of light is distorted around my wrist as if being crumpled like paper, before culminating in a ray of golden light into your heart*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Throws a hand up and catches your arm, protecting my neck by allowing one claw to impale my palm. From my the wound, a black flame creeps up your arm and engulfs you, not burning physically, but instead burning at every soul inside you*
I wonder if they're still suffering.

@Galaxy Raider

Why don't you ask them yourself?
*Bites off the inflamed arm, triggering a transformation with the essence of the dragon god*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*An explosion rings out as I burst from my position, instantly appearing directly in front of you and unleashing another explosive auric burst, cutting at you countless times over from point-blank*

@Galaxy Raider

*Lacerations burst from my skin up and down my body, and I follow up by thrusting my claws into your neck*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Rolls my neck*
I wonder how many people will be spared with you behind bars.
*A white aura bursts explosively from my body, turning the solid rocky ground into loose debris the goes flying in all directions*

@Galaxy Raider

*Dives into the ground and uses it as a springboard to overcome the repulsion*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Turns around while you detour to pick Ridge up by his shoulders, stand him up and dust him off*
Come on, big guy. The world doesn't need to lose you, they just need time.
*Opens a portal and shoves him through*

@Galaxy Raider

*Veers into a sharp turn once I make it to your side of the wall and bullets toward you at full speed*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*A trail of black flames erupts from my feet, very quickly spreading into a wall of dark fire between you and us*

@Galaxy Raider

*Takes off horizontally across the flames to get around them*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*The unmanned armor blasts you with a suppression field, then lunges at you, grabbing you and carrying you up into the sky*

@Galaxy Raider

*A pair of wings rip from my back, and I launch toward you both*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Stands facing each of you, unwavering*

@Galaxy Raider

*Dense plates erupt onto my limbs, and my fingers scratch forward into pointlike claws*
Your friend has already forfeited his life. Are you sure you want to join him?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

You don't even know who you're talking to.
*The armor raises its hands at each of you, and a high-pitched whirring starts up*
It's not too late to leave a good man alone.

@Galaxy Raider

A good man would have stepped aside long ago. But I’ll humor you.
*Bites into my thumb, enveloping me in an obsidian-turquoise aura and awakening the dragon souls within me*
