The Cauldron Scene
The devil sits in the middle of the room in a chair. his smirk still ever present, the chain still hung around his neck. @zan looks to the others and nods. They take their positions around the chair and Zandala begins chanting some words in Elvish. You all understand them as she says, "For those who wish the truth to be known, let us glimpse into the mind. Let us perceive your guilt or innocence. Let us view what must be understood." And the others begin repeating and chanting these words. As you see a red circle appear around the devil and in front of them. Zandala takes the hand of Crane and Ginger who take the hands of Luticia and Elrik. They all stop chanting and lower their heads closing their eyes. For a moment nothing happens. You all stand there it seems tense and quiet. The devil twitches slightly and the Viewers do the same. As soon as he does so you all fear this wave of fear. Each of you in your own right as you immediacy think of the things you fear most.
Nero- the feat of losing the rest of those you love. Of watching Ivalice fall and not being able to do anything about it.
Deirdre- Fear of her... and everything she touches.
Teran- the fear of not being loved anymore in her light. Of being held in a small space in the darkness again.
Rain- Fear of losing your mom, your siblings. Not being able to protect them, not being able to find... him. Ikalgo - Fear of these memories overwhelming you. That you are not mentally strong enough - that you'll fail.
Wyanel - Fear of the woman you saw. And if she is what you think she is, and your connection to this "Black Wave."
But no, this fear you feel is greater than that. It's deeper, darker... Is it even yours? Yes, it must be. How much time has passed? You look back at the circle. Their grip on each others hands seem to tighten as another synchronous twitch happens among the group. A small whimper comes from Luticia and the others seem to be breathing heavily. The lights flicker, Min takes a step forward.
Suddenly you blink and the room around you is white, you are not where you are. You look around and see 6 blurred figures. You can't make out their faces, their details, but you know they are there, adn you know them. You've known them for ages. How is that possible? You feel this fear among all of them, but with it- understanding, determination... finality. When you blink again your back with the Cauldron and the blurred images you saw were those six people you've been with for the passed 6 days. You all briefly look at each other curiously, thoughtfully then your eyes shift back to the circle as the Devil begins convulsing. His chest shooting upward. The others are groaning and tears are coming down their faces. Your hearing returns... when did it leave? As you hear Pepper shouting "break!" But they can't seem to let go. Suddenly everything happens at once. The chain shatters into a million pieces, flying out and hitting the dome, which flickers but holds as the shards spill around it onto the floor. He stands slowly and looks to you Nero. He says in your head. "Nice try. I'll see you again." Then he opens his arms as giant like dragon wings expand outward shattering the circle and he explodes. Blood and vile and gore and wood from the chair shoot outward. All the glass from the windows shatter...
