[Edanian Journey] Orbita

Description

Chapter 4: Echoes of Stone

From the shattered stone emerged a figure—Valkyrie in form, yet cloaked in shadow. When the battle ended and the darkness fell, a lingering will appeared amidst the ruins.

"...Valkyrie... a disciple of Lady Enslar... For Lord Elion... we... are here...""

It seemed the spirit wished to speak, but Ashen Wing's blade cut it down before the words could form.

"You mean to say—how could I strike down old comrades, even in such a state? Ha... is that what troubles you?"

Ashen Wing referred to them as Fallen Valkyries, claiming Orbita's dark energy flowed from them. To save Enslar, to uncover the truth of Orbita—our paths were one.

Together, we shattered each sealed stone. Each time, the Fallen tried to speak—voices crying out in anguish. Yet Ashen Wing showed no mercy.

"Specters oft cling to grudges, yes. Yet with the passage of time, even that bitterness wanes."
