Huney faces the Herald in a final, desperate battle.

The battle begins with ferocity unlike anything Huney has faced before. The Herald's power is overwhelming, and the crystal pulses with dark energy, amplifying the shadows. Huney's flames, though strong, flicker against the void.

Herald: "You cannot fight eternity, child of flame. The gods have lied to you. You are but a pawn in their game!"

Huney grits his teeth, feeling his strength wane. The shadows around him close in, threatening to extinguish his flame. Meredith watches in horror from the edge of the chamber, unable to help.

Huney: (to himself) "No... I won't let it end like this!"

Just as Huney is about to falter, he hears Meredith's voice cutting through the darkness.

Meredith: "Huney! You're stronger than this! You've fought harder battles, faced worse things! You can win!"

Her words resonate within him, and Huney realizes once again that his true strength lies not just in the flames of the gods, but in the love and hope of the people who believe in him. Drawing on that, he taps into a power he never knew he had—the Flame Eternal, a force that connects the divine fire with the human heart.

With a roar, Huney's flames explode, burning brighter and hotter than ever before. The shadows retreat, unable to withstand the purifying light. The Herald, shocked by the sudden surge of power, falters.

Huney: "You're wrong. I'm not just a spark in the void. I'm the fire that will burn through the darkness, no matter how long it takes!"

In a final burst of energy, Huney unleashes his full power, directing it at the crystal. The flames engulf the dark heart, shattering it into a million pieces. The chamber collapses around them, but the shadows are gone, consumed by the Flame Eternal.
