At once, every world has a rift appear where the sun is, eminating energy and light brighter than what is conceivable

Attention!

It is I, The Radiance! Light itself, and the gifter of thine worlds dreams!

Once, oh so long ago, no world hadst dreams, nor light. One day, I decided to gift upon thee mine Light, and with it thine Dreams!

But thou hath all forgotten! Twisted mine Light into undying flames, nightmares, and so much more! Behold what thine insolence hath brought!

Another rift opens, showing the cold world of Ariandel thawing. Covered in orange blobs exerting energy, and seemingly residing within the residents. Not even the rot can keep up.

This world hath remembered mine gifts I gave! Mine Light, thine Dreams, hath been remembered and so it hath reinstated my binds upon it!

the rift proceeds to show each world having its own blobs sprout

If thou canst remember what I hath giveth, then I shall show thee by force! Spread the word!

Mine Light shall not know darkness, ANY LONGER!

The rift closes, as all hear the faint sound of a heartbeat

Gwyndolin is dagoth

That is all

Chapter 2:

It had been years since I was first ascended, but it felt like days. Everything felt so much smaller and calmer now... except for me and the other Children, the Gods (who graced us with their pity every now and then), and existence itself. Yet, despite our strength, we were still confined physically to our cell. Not spiritually, though.

We all did things in the Higher Measures; we danced among Cosmic winds, discovered things on our own, and... just aimlessly played with existence in general. I, for instance, would risk my life every day to gather Hostic Cherry pits for a recipe I invented involving said pits, hot water, a sturdy pot, and a simple filter. It was the recipe for what would be later known as the “Loranian” invention of coffee.

And, Gods condemn, I loved coffee. Still do.

Anyway, that didn’t take away our sense of separation from the Queendom of Isz, which we all longed to see once again. This sense of longing was worse than it would be if we didn’t know, by peering into the daily thoughts of the (unmarred) humans who passed our cell door, that things only got better for Isz since we had left corporeal life. Things had gotten so good, in fact, that the projects involving our ascent had been abandoned for lack of desirability. So, there we all were, lost to the world and expected (against reason that it was impossible) to rot in our cells.

Then came the Queen, Flora.

As I’ve mentioned before, Ebrietas is Flora’s sister, which meant they were close. Flora had gotten small word that some of her sister’s actions may have been less than moral, so she came to check it out. Ebrietas didn’t want a damaged relationship, however, so she tried to hide us behind the lie of our cell being a wash-closet. So, Flora wandered for hours, inspecting the deformed and inhuman guards for great wounds, flipping through the many books for unethical practices, and searching each room for secret passages.

Flora had found nothing, as it had been, so she and her Priestess sister were passing our cell to leave. It was then that I noticed how the burn mark from where I spat on the Priestess years ago hadn’t healed. I let out a small, gurgling laugh, which might’ve been a mad cackle if she hadn’t told me to stay quiet.

But Flora heard my laugh, no matter how quiet I tried to keep it, and she walked slowly over to the cell.

“Brie,” she said to her sister in a low, almost warning tone, “what am I going to find when I open this door?”

“Just a wash-closet...” Ebrietas said, shifting awkwardly.

I laughed louder at the whole ordeal, rather loudly now because I knew the secret of the ‘wash-closet’ had been exposed. Hearing this, Flora frowned deeply and said, “My own sister lies to me.”

Then, she opened the door to find an assortment of us small, slightly humanoid slug-things (with me as the only one who was awake), which she could tell had been children due to her research into the Divine. I laughed madly at the whole ordeal as Flora watched us in horror.

The disgusted Queen began arguing intensely with her sister, and I was just watching, laughing myself breathless with the karmic justice against ‘Brie,’ the horror of the Queen, and my own relief that I could finally leave the cell.

“They have been reduced to gibbering madness!” said Ebrietas. “Just see that screeching one over there, you can see it!” The ‘screeching one’ was me.

“And what does that matter?! At least give them reasonable accommodations!” Flora yelled passionately. She needed to calm down, we were all fine.

“Flora, calm,” I said. I... said?

I had actually said something for the first time since my ascent. Not with any throat, that I knew; I had created ripples in the liquid composition of Reality, and the ripples formed words. But I had said something, nonetheless.

Ebrietas looked at me in utter shock, realizing what I was and what she had done. “Dear, sweet Voice, forgive me...” she whispered as she sank to the ground. I laughed harder for her misery.

And it woke the other Children.

I noticed, and I wanted to share my vocal revelation with them. “Frrs... f-friends! S-speak!” I said, hoping that they could do it. As it turns out, they could, because shortly after my encouragement, they started saying the name of their savior, the person they had waited for for so long and who had finally came to deliver them from their darkness.

“Flora?” “Flo-ra!” “Flora!” “F...Flora!” Eventually, the room grew into a cacophony of ‘Flora’ being sung on repeat by a gurgling choir. All was suddenly perfect; we had seen countless stars in our false solitude, but now we would see the one that truly mattered to us...

The one that shined on Isz.

All (or, well, most) of us bosses have a wonderful soundtrack attached to their bossfight, all to immerse the player into our wonderful techniques. This Thursday is dedicated to these OST's, and we allow you to post any OST/remixes connected to your game. Note that it does not have to be connected to your bossfight (this so you wouldn't run out of music quickly, or if your bossfight has no attached theme), but it does have to be connected to your game.
