Following clues left in the marsh, Rahul's team discovered the truth-the Abyss Monarch was once a guardian of the Gods,corrupted by greed and envy,twisted by fragments of the Dark Seed,the God Seed's evil twin.
Rahul challenged him.
Their battle cracked mountains. Sword against staff, light against abyss. Aria joined, weaving songs of purification with blade strikes. But the Monarch unleashed forbidden arts, targeting her.
To save Rahul, Aria threw herself between them-and took the fatal blow.
As she fell, Rahul screamed. The God Seed exploded with wrath, and he tapped into a terrifying level of power but too late he held Aria's fading body in his arms.
