Canto Ultima - "Turning of the Wheel"
The sheer scale of the conflict was beyond what the Valkyrie's had initially thought. Trillions of synthetics had assembled at the origin of space to construct their monument—a celestial body of steel and iron—while billions more stood guard to protect it. Fearing for their chances, Geirskogul broke ancient laws and told their warriors of the world’s truth: the Rave was just one in a series of Canto Ultimas. It was preceded by the Metal, a canto of unrelenting hate and fury, that was defeated by a united uprising to birth the Rave. Yet still, beyond even this world, there existed a Sea of infinite worlds. There, standing watch, were the Valkyr, beings of frightening power that could turn the tide and save their world. The Valkyr did arrive, however it was for a darker reason. Alice had fallen under the spell of a dark entity known only as Desdinova, twisting her mind into that of Testament, the ruthless savior. If she were to succeed in her plan, Desdinova might be able to cross into their reality, gaining access to the Sea and causing untold havoc. ================================================== [Geirskogul] Beyond this world, there is a gentle Sea, Stretching out towards infinity. Every drop is a whole universe; Strange and different, or just like yours You think the Rave is all that's ever been, But other worlds have come and went. Tyrannical oppressive fear and hate— The Rave was meant to seal their fate. She is trying to repeat the cycle; We cannot let her succeed. Nothing survives the end of the Rave. Will the Valkyr answer our plea? [Heroes] Secrets of the stars, Beyond space and time. Now we fight together. The wheel turns on forever! [Brynhildr] Forbidden knowledge—you broke the law! Humans aren't meant to know the beyond. Their feeble minds can't comprehend it, And now the Valkyr have descended… [Geirskogul] She is trying to repeat the cycle; We cannot let her succeed. Nothing survives the end of the Rave. We march to the end of the line… [The Valkyr] We are the guardians of the eternal Sea. We heard your prayers, and have come to thee. Watchers from afar—never intervene. But this synthetic girl is more than she seems… We call it Desdinova: the dark evil one. We do not know where it has come from. It whispers to those who lost their way, Promising power, sealing their fate. Its goal is to enter our reality, conquer the multiverse; destroy the Sea. We stop at nothing to protect all we know, If Alice wants a fight, together we will go!
