I see Eidhin has descended after me. He’s staring. At first I think it’s at Ysa, but then I realise his gaze is fixed behind, over my shoulder.
For the first time since the Iudicium, I see him smile.
And before I can turn, before I can process it, the familiar voice emerges from the murmurs behind. Wry, and quiet, and utterly perplexed.
“Hail, Vis.”

CALLIDUS??!!! AND HIS MOM AND SISTER HOLY SHIT!!

“A great, independent machine made up of the dead. Interlinked, each one carefully purposed. More vast and complex and impossible to fight than you can imagine.”

Omg this reminds me of foundry side trilogy alot!!! Especially THIS plot line

“But Vis? It was also because you came. You came on two broken legs, and you asked. You would not have forced me to stop, but you were willing to strip yourself bare to save me. You reminded me that we are not friends. You are my brother . My kin. To abandon you to the right and narrow path …”

I loveeee Eidhin.

“Yes. Well. I assumed the other versions of me never made it. I was never able to do anything like that.” He gestures to my glinting arm. “I am fortunate, in many ways. If they had survived, I may never have learned the truth. I would have been hunted. As I had to do with you.”

I don't trust this guy! Honestly from his name which sound so much like Caesar it did feel weird that he was THAT nice on obiteum

And then my friends are around me. Forming a protective circle. Heads bowed, close to mine. Arms around me. And I let go. I cry. I cry for the father I thought I lost years ago but now have in truth. I cry in a way I never did after Suus, because I was never afforded a chance to say goodbye. And saying goodbye like this hurts. It hurts . My friends hold me up. Patient. Just being there.

There are no tears, no wailing, but those would have been false given that they did not know the man. This display is for the living. This display is for me. It means more than I can say. It brings tears to my eyes again and again as we make our steady way down the hill and out the gate.

Luceum Vis' life is the best one in my opinion

NOOOO DONT JUST KILL KA AND MOVE ON WTF??!!!!

Diago!!!!

They know we value loyalty and family and friendship above all else. But my friend, they don’t, and there will always be people for them to hurt. To threaten us with. As long as we let ourselves be their prisoners, nothing will change. and in the end, they will destroy the ones we love anyway,

But if I don’t try, I’ll never forgive myself. I cannot lose him. Not him too.

Yes you can't lose him Vis!! Bcuz I swear to God I'd hunt you down!!! Eidhin can not die.
