A portrait of Kyrie and Vala, the Shadow Dragon. They are posed in a garden scene; Vala is curled around Kyrie and looking at her. Kyrie gently rubs the scales under Vala's head as she smiles at him.

A portrait of Golbez (from the voidcast AU) against a black background. There are two versions of him, both in the same white shirt and black leather jacket set. The Golbez standing in front has his arms folded and looks to the distance with a troubled face. The Golbez behind him looks downward with an inscrutable expression, his face spattered with blood.

In a candlelit sanctuary, Kyrie reclines against Zero, who is dressed in their holy knight's armor. Zero holds Kyrie's face close, pulling her in for a kiss. Kyrie smiles with a pleased expression in return.
An alternate angle of the same scene. Zero's thumb gently lays against Kyrie's chin.

Under the light of the reddening moon, several champions gather (left to right): Zero, Cylva, Kyrie, Durante, Unukalhai, and Golbez. Everyone is in their battle regalia, prepared to fight through a long night to see the next dawn.

A scene of Kyrie and Golbez in a darkened cavern path. A dim blue gleam is the only source of light. Kyrie stands before Golbez, her hands clasped in front of her. Golbez is sitting on the ground, waiting, and doesn't notice her at first.
Realizing that someone now stands before him, Golbez looks up hesitantly. We can only see Kyrie from behind.
A look from over Golbez's shoulder. Dressed in all black, Kyrie's form is difficult to see in the darkness.
Slowly, Kyrie raises her hand, cautiously reaching out and speaking something to Golbez. From his point of view, it is too dim to see her face.

a voice that came from the abyss
Leonora, one of Troia’s esteemed Epopts. She stands before a glowing fireplace, holding a staff with a snakelike design and red jewel in its center. She is an older Elezen woman with graying blonde hair tied with intricate metal accessories and features meant to resemble the original Leonora (if she were a 60+ year old Elezen). She wears an aqua blue dress with pink wrist dresses. Much of her outfit is decorated with metallic accessories.

Igeyorhm and Kyrie lock blades, dueling in the depths of the Lunar Subterrane. Igeyorhm, in front, is unmasked and wearing a black dress with pale blue side panels; she has a sword of crystalized ice. Kyrie is wearing a revealing red dress with a black corset and similar leggings; she wields a blood red pair of swords. Dialogue - Igeyorhm: "So this is who has been unraveling all of my plots. First, Baron, then Troia..."
The camera shifts to focus on Igeyorhm, who appears clearly displeased despite her cold manner. Igeyorhm has shoulder length dark blue hair and green eyes. Dialogue - Igeyorhm: "Those memoriates scattered in the dark whisper of undead. Death-mender. Witch of ash. Who are you , trespasser, to interrupt my work?"
Shifting to Kyrie's view. Kyrie has long white hair framed with a silver circlet adorned with black wings. Her bright, acidic green eyes pierce through the darkness. Dialogue - Kyrie: "Those who still walk in the light send their regards, Ascian. My name is Kyrie Silverwings, though you need not commit it to memory."
Igeyorhm's brow furrows, her expression unwavering. Dialogue - Igeyorhm: "Indeed. I came here to rid myself of an annoyance, not to treat with one."

A portrait of Durante, host and wielder of the eidolon Odin and former knight of Baron. His face, partially obscured with a black mask, is smeared with bright red blood. His hand is raised to wipe away the excess.

Kyrie sits perched on an altar in a dim, abandoned church. A blue glow is cast over her, along with the form of a spirit floating behind her. A skull lies in her lap with her hand holding it. The spirit behind her billows ominously, as if challenging the person facing her.
Dressed in an intricate black gown with silver and gold accents, Kyrie very much looks the part of death-mender and a caller of undead and other revenants. She laughs at her challenger.

"You say that there are no heroes who will stand against the Dark? I believe there are a staunch few who would... disagree with that claim of yours."
Cylva, a memoriate of the Thirteenth, stands with her blade drawn and her hand resting on the wolf form of the Shadowkeeper - this form being a conjuration of her own making. She is dressed in dark armor with a red coat, her face protected by an ornate guard.
A closer shot. She issues a challenge to those approaching. This may be the edge of the woods, but wolves still lurk nearby.

"Leave this place. Hie away to your walls and safety. The Dark will not find purchase among those who keep the old ways!"
A scene with Durante, Kyrie, and Golbez. The three are gathered around one of Kyrie's conjured bonfires. Golbez kneels down and reaches out to the coiled greatsword, curious of the pyromancy spell that Kyrie cast. Kyrie looks cheerful at her work. Durante is sitting on the ground with his sword held in one hand. He has a neutral expression, watching over Golbez.
Golbez is absorbed in thought, but Kyrie glances over to Durante.
With this night as the first time all three could sit together, it appears to hold the most meaning to Durante. Words are left unsaid - he simply watches his friend pore over a strange spell, surely something that he has done many times in the past.

A screenshot of Golbez, a close up. He is mostly shadowed in dark violet, but a dim light shines on one side of his face. His unobscured eye glows slightly. He has a mournful expression, as if regret weighs him down into the darkness.

"It's a second chance. Maybe not in the manner that you wished, but it is one, regardless..."
"That is what you say, but is that what everyone will accept?"
Deep in the shuttered halls of Troia Castle, away from prying eyes, a meeting is conducted and a challenge posed. Ringed by dark memoriates, Kyrie stands over them. In her right hand, a memoria holding the secrets of power, and in her left, a plain apple. The memoriates all reach for her prizes, some on their knees. One of them fearfully looks at the others. The room is lit with a fell viridian glow as the statues behind them all pass their silent judgment. Of the two prizes, which is true and which is poison? Only the fairy tale holds the answer.
A close up of Kyrie's face. She grins widely, her smile curving devilishly in the glow.

Zero rests, fast asleep, while Kyrie is curled up over her side and caressing her cheek. The undead needs not the oblivion of sleep, but she will watch over her companions who still need it.

sweet dreams - "as the only one of us who possibly still dreams of the light, may those visions be sweet indeed."
A close-up portrait of Golbez. A blue light illuminates his face in the darkness, with faint red lighting across his features. A black scar runs across his neck, and he gazes to his left, towards the distance.
A more distant shot, revealing Vala, the Shadow Dragon. The same bluish light glows on his underside, and a bright violet shines on his horns. He and Golbez look at one another with a sense of understanding and calm.
Alternate angle 1. Golbez's hand reaches up, almost brushing against Vala's scales.
Alternate shot 2. Golbez is cast in silhouette.

Golbez got appointed as Baron’s envoy to Troia after recovering, but with the memoriates / Igeyorhm manipulating the scene, it was apparent that the whole thing was a trap and the only way out was through death (theirs).
Golbez and Vala, the Shadow Dragon. Golbez is crouched on top of a black metallic coffin, his hand resting on its chain. Vala floats next to him, and both gaze downward at something below.
Another angle of the duo.

Kyrie is technically an aether vampire as an undead that requires bits of souls, Zero qualifies as half-voidsent, and Golbez has to take living aether thanks to sharing a body with Vala
A close up portrait of Golbez and Kyrie. Kyrie has her arms wrapped around Golbez’s shoulders and her head resting against him. Golbez is leaning back and looking towards her, his face covered in purple lipstick marks.

marked by death (affectionate)
Kyrie stands in an abandoned cabin in the middle of a foggy woodland. She has a familiar, a talking skull gifted with prescience, floating above her right hand and is speaking to it.
Something her familiar says catches her off guard, her eyes widening.
Dispelling the familiar, Kyrie looks to the left behind her shoulder to catch a glimpse of the person - Durante - standing behind the door, presumably waiting for her for some time.

"Do me a favor, would you? Are there any living souls around here worth asking about this place?"
"Of course, my lady - 'tis easily done. There is such a soul here...just behind you."
In the world of the Thirteenth, there was a girl who dreamed of living and a half-human who dreamed of being a light shining in the darkness. Theirs is a joyous friendship, full of warmth and trust.
In the world of the Thirteenth, there is a half-human who dreams of companionship and saving those who cannot save themselves and an undead who dreams of finding purpose in the void. Theirs is a tale forged half of legend and of unyielding tenacity.
