Bladedance stared at the last page for a while, her lips frozen half-open, her eyes brimming with concern.
Alex's eyes narrowed in worry and impatience.
Bladedance finally read it out loud.
"The Savior shall announce, and the world shall listen, for he shall herald the battle for the End."
The air in the room froze as the three stared at each other, two with more surprise in their eyes than the third. The Wine God had known about the prophecy for a while, so he could hardly be surprised by it. Still, accounting for everything he had learned today, he showed some emotion.
Alex broke the silence. "The… End?" he asked, his voice cracking. "End of what?"
Bladedance pursed her lips, turning to the Wine God for answers.
"Once again, it is unclear," he said. "But… it may be the end of a realm. Maybe even many realms. Some say this prophecy speaks of the end of the world itself."
Alex froze. "End of the world? Is that even possible?"
