Astra Blight: glares, frustrated You g-gotta h-hurry! The d-demons are c-c-coming!
You once were a Blight, infesting a Block. But then one day a mysterious Dungeon started to form alongside your partner. Inside, you transformed into the Triumph of Destiny. What is your name, oh faithful reader?
I-I'm Astra Blight, t-the one who rose f-from the depths of despair... d-don't expect m-me to play by the rules Astra Blight: S-stop staring at me like that...
You two will never be truly alike. You are not them, they are not you. The same mold cannot be expected to produce the same results. The blue print was not made to be an exact copy. I am unique. He continues searching through the blank space.
Y-you think you can t-take me down? H-ha! I've survived th-the Great Devouring; y-your petty attempts won't even scratch my armor Astra Blight: What are you g-gaping at?
And you haven't changed. It was your choice to change yourself out of necessity. That can only mean... He continues to search.
D-don't get too close, or you'll r-realize that being around me is l-like walking on thin ice... f-frail resolve quivering beneath Astra Blight: G-got a problem with my d-dark magic? W-well, I've g-got a p-problem with your s-sunny disposition...
... It still continues on searching the blank space.
F-forgotten magics are where it's at... anything b-brighter than this abyssal darkness is just... t-too much
Still no response. He seems to have stopped moving. Could he have found what he was looking for?
B-be careful of what you wish for, because w-whatever it is, I'm sure you won't like it... Astra Blight: D-do you really want to see what I have in store for those who dare to oppose me?
After awhile of silence, he feels something behind him. He quickly turns around.
A-a little dramatic, aren't we? Astra Blight: T-turn around, and face what you really fear... it's me...
Sure enough, there was something behind him. He had found the one he was looking for. He turns around.
T-so you want to face the darkness? Very well, I'll give you a chance to c-chOOSE... Astra Blight: C-close your eyes, and feel the darkness surrounding you... and then make your choice: embrace the darkness within, or continue running from it?
There is no darkness in me. He steps towards her. I came here to show you something that is pure light.
P-pure light, huh? W-well, let's see how bright it can shine when faced with the true darkness within Astra Blight: T-then show me this light...
Without any hesitation, he quickly opens up his book and flips to the first page. He sees her name there. He turns the page, and so does she.
Astra watches intently, curiosity piqued by this new light, yet feeling an inexplicable sense of dread... Astra Blight: W-what kind of power do you possess to make you so confident in your abilities to fight against the darkness?
Let's make a deal. If you can defeat me, then I will turn the page. But if you can't, you have to stop running from your darkness.
Y-you underestimate me... but fine, I accept your challenge. Prepare yourself... Astra Blight: I, the Triumph of Destiny, challenge you to face your own darkness... and if you can defeat me, I will do as you ask...
Alright, let's see if you can stop running from your darkness. He brings his hand forward in a circular motion, creating a large cloud of dust that explodes and forms into a humanoid figure.
W-what in the world...?! Astra Blight: I-I know what you are... a monster born from the darkest of places, created from the suffering and despair of others... Astra Blight: But mark my words, I will not be the one to fall...
The creature smiles, seemingly pleased with his creation. You are quite interesting. But before you can defeat me, you must learn how to use your darkness correctly.
Y-you think you can teach me how to harness my darkness? W-well, let's see if you can back up that talk... Astra Blight: I will crush you and your demonic creation, or die trying...
Don't worry about killing me. Killing me would cause you to turn into a demon yourself. I will allow you to keep your freedom, but I am giving you a taste of my light.
F-fine, bring it on! Show me the true power of your light, and maybe I'll consider changing my mind... Astra Blight: I will not go easy on you...
He gets into a battle stance.
Astra channels her dark energy, preparing herself for the battle ahead... her resolve unwavering, determined to overcome this trial... Astra Blight: I will show you the true power of my darkness...
Astra lunges forward, her dark energy crackling with malevolent intent, aiming to strike down her opponent with a devastating blow... Astra Blight: Feel the wrath of my darkness!
The humanoid figure blocks all of her attacks with ease.
W-what the...? Astra Blight: H-how...?! This isn't possible! My darkness should be able to overpower you...
The humanoid figure does not answer. Instead, it summons a sword in its hand.
Astra watches in shock and disbelief as the humanoid figure produces a weapon that seems to counteract her dark energy... she takes a step back, re-evaluating her strategy... Astra Blight: Very well, I will change tactics...
The humanoid figure charges up its weapon.
Astra closes the distance between them, her movements quick and agile... she aims to overwhelm the humanoid figure with her speed and agility... Astra Blight: Prepare to face my wrath!
The humanoid figure slashes out at her, but she dodges. She then shoots out her hand and creates a thin circle of black energy in front of her. The humanoid figure runs into it, and it cuts into it, destroying part of it.
Astra grins with satisfaction as her dark magic proves effective, managing to wound the humanoid figure... she takes another step forward, her resolve strengthening... Astra Blight: Now, let's see how you handle this! Astra channels more dark energy, aiming to deliver a final blow to her wounded opponent...
Before she can land a hit though, the humanoid figure disappears in a burst of light, leaving behind only a necklace with a sun symbol on it.
W-what the...? Astra Blight: I-I can't believe it... Astra Blight: It seems that you have bested me after all...
