The stars shimmer over Fire Island, and the village of Tilaris is quiet once again. Rebuilding has begun, and peace settles over the land like a warm blanket. The victory over the Herald brought hope to the people, but deep in Huney's heart, he knows the real battle is still ahead.

He stands alone at the edge of a cliff, gazing out over the ocean, his fiery eyes reflecting the endless night. Meredith joins him after a while, her presence comforting, but the silence between them is weighted with unspoken fears.

Meredith: "We won. You did it, Huney."

Huney: "For now. But it's only the beginning, Meredith. I can feel it. The Last Senniel—it's older, stronger, and far more dangerous than I imagined. And there are things even I don't understand about it."

Meredith: "Then we'll fight it together. No matter what."

Huney nods, grateful for her unwavering faith. But something inside him stirs—something ancient, something he has yet to uncover. He turns to Meredith, looking into her eyes with a hint of hesitation.

Huney: "There's something I've never told anyone... not even you. Before I came to Earth, Ignivor gave me a message. A warning."

Meredith frowns, her eyes narrowing in concern.

Meredith: "A warning?"

Huney clenches his fists, fire flickering faintly in his palms.

Huney: "Ignivor told me that there's a truth buried deep in the heart of the Last Senniel—a truth even the gods fear. And that truth... it's connected to me."

Meredith's eyes widen, but before she can respond, Huney steps forward, his gaze fixed on the horizon.

Huney: "The Last Senniel... it wasn't always darkness. There was a time when it was something else—something the gods don't want us to know. And Ignivor warned me that when I find out what it is, everything will change. Not just for me, but for all the realms—human, divine, and beyond."

A chill settles in the air, and Meredith wraps her arms around herself, sensing the gravity of his words. But Huney stands tall, his determination unwavering.

Huney: "I don't know what that truth is yet. But I can feel it calling to me. And when the time comes, I'll face it. Even if it means defying the gods themselves."

Suddenly, a faint glow appears on the horizon, far out to sea. Huney narrows his eyes, recognizing the ominous energy in the air. Meredith steps closer, her voice trembling.

Meredith: "Huney... what is that?"

Huney: "The Last Senniel... it's stirring again. This is only the beginning."

Meredith reaches for his hand, and Huney squeezes it tightly, the warmth of his flame mingling with her strength. They stand together, side by side, facing the unknown future.

But as they do, a voice echoes in Huney's mind—Ignivor's final words before sending him to Earth, words he has kept hidden for so long:

Ignivor's Voice: "You are the key, Huney. You are the flame that will decide the fate of all. But remember this: the fire that burns within you is not just divine... it is also the fire of the Last Senniel."

Huney's eyes widen as the memory resurfaces, and a cold realization sinks in. The truth he has been searching for, the truth buried deep in the Last Senniel, is not just connected to him—it is him.

The glow on the horizon grows brighter, and Huney feels the familiar pulse of fire within him, but this time... something darker pulses alongside it.

Huney: (whispering) "I am the Last Senniel..."

Final Message

The fire and the darkness are two sides of the same coin. The gods created one to fight the other, but now the balance is slipping. And only Huney can decide which side will prevail. The truth lies ahead, and with it, the end of all things. Or the beginning of something new.
