Pov Eclipse
I am starting to really dislike humans, being with my Mother would have been better than this, there I was able to move anywhere, here humans constantly bother me.
Is this why Mother wanted to blot out the sun?
No that doesn’t make sense, humans are clearly the problem here, not the sun.
Ugh I'm so bored.
I got taken away from my takers, but this time I could barely do anything, or see anything. Even biting the furry human didn’t work, all I got was a mouth full of fur. Something I was not a fan of.
Alea couldn’t find me either cause the furry human crushed the amulet Alea gave me. What to do....
Oh, wait the other amulet that Knight gave me!
Uh what did Arrogant say again... Break the amulet? I think so.
I tried moving around in the murky black and green surroundings, yet there was a great weight pushing on me. Thankfully, it didn’t fully stop my movements which allowed me to, although slowly, bend my leg far enough that it was able to reach my thorax.
I felt the amulet well enough that I didn’t have to look around for it, rather getting it off my thorax and into my mouth where I could break it was going to take some time...

Pov Researchers from the Tower of Eternity
“Miss Culu, I am hoping that the task was completed?”
A deep and soothing sounded out from a large figure with a black and green orb floating beside it.
“Yes Bane, there is not a piece of evidence left~.”
A mass of pink tentacles replied, its voice sweet, the form of a human somewhere deep in the mass.
“That is good, come let us make haste then, the Great One does not wait. You three stay and remove any parasites.”
Without another second wasted, Bane and Culu sped off into the dark forest, Bane running on all fours, and Culu using each of its tentacles in rapid succession. The orb never strayed too far.
The three oddities stood, one tall and as stone, another short and with a never-ending twitch, the last average and pacing.
“t-t-talk n-now pos-pos-possible!”
The one twitching said, raising its arms high above its head, laughing insanely. The robe covered all but the deep red hands.
“There is nothing to speak about, silence for master would rip out your voice.”
The one pacing snapped at twitching one, a low grow emerging. The twitching one stopped laughing and shied away.
“M-ma-master he-here n-n-n-not!”
The one twitching stated, suddenly gaining confidence. The one as stone grabbed the twitching one’s shoulder.
“Do not fight with him, you may talk with me, Number 10.”
The stone one said calmly, its voice like rock.
“Fools you are, you may be the favorite Number 7, but that does not mean master’s wrath will not touch you!”
The one pacing pointed at Number 7 with its purple hand, a liquid dropping off its hand in the process and killing the grass it was dropped on.
“Do not be paranoid Number 8, unless you do not bring satisfactory results to master, you are safe from the wrath.”

Number 7 said, yet Number 8 was not convinced.
“You do not understand Number 7! You are living in a dream!”
Number 8 spoke, yet Number 7 turned its attention away from Number 8 and spoke in a hushed tone to Number 10, something that caused Number 10 to giggle.
Number 8 threw its hands up in exasperation and walked away from the two of them, staying quiet yet its thoughts louder.

Not too long later
“Bane are you sure leaving the young ones was a good idea, who knows the trouble they could be up to~.”
Culu and Bane slowed down and approached a swirling blue disk emitting a small glow.
“Yes Miss Culu, even without me, Number 7 will keep the other two in check.”
Bane said confidentially.
“Oh, is that the successor~? You are getting old now~.”
“Miss Culu, must I remind you we are of same age? But yes Number 7 will be my successor if something would happen to me. The other Numbers are not as... good as Number 7.”
“Wow look at you, you're like a proud parent right now~.”
“Technically they are my children, anyways let us drop the subject, we must focus on the Great One’s task.”
“You’re no fun Bane, we still have so long-”
Suddenly the swirling disk turned green.
“Oh, it seems I was wrong, how interesting~.”
For an odd reason, Culu was suddenly extremely interested.
“That may have been the Great One’s doing, you cannot see what the Great One does after all.”
“Perhaps, we shall see Bane~.”
The two of them walked through the green swirling disk, the disk disappearing, as well as the two of them.
The two of them were now in a plane of ever-changing grass, strange creatures grazed on the grass, their forms were indescribable. Pieces of the ground floated in the air forming an oval with a rock shining in many colors in the middle of the oval.
Suddenly the rock in the middle moved and watched Bane and Culu bow their heads low to the ground.
“Oh, Great One, Lord of the very ground we stand on, Nurüiath our beloved master, we bring to you the one you have asked for. The spawn of the Brood Mother.”
The two of them spoke in unison. And the orb following them moved in front of them. A thousand piercing wails sounded out, the wails lowering and decreasing in pitch, almost as if they were forming words.
A stream of blood flowed from the two, clearly coming from their ears, yet neither moved nor flinched.
The orb started melting and the form of Eclipse upside down appeared. The wailing stopped and Bane and Culu suddenly disappeared from the Medow.

Pov Eclipse
Good news, I now have the amulet sitting in my mouth, bad news, where am I exactly?
Getting up so I wasn’t on my back, I looked around the new place I was in, and it made my eyes and brain feel strange. The surroundings reminded me of the one place I had to go through before I was in this world.
“Spawn of the Wretched One, why have you come and soiled this perfect world of mine.”
The sheer loudness of whoever just spoke was disorienting.
Can you speak quietly? I can hear you just fine.
“You have not answered me lesser one.”
Suddenly the ground below me was moved and I was getting dragged upwards, up towards a beautiful object.
What is there to say? I don’t even know what you mean... Wait, can you even understand me?
“Are you questioning my intelligence lesser one?”
I am guessing you can, I should be happy about that, but I feel like talking with you will be annoying.
“You dare speak to me that way lesser one? My I was allowing you to explain yourself, yet you speak this way? I should just remove you from the world.”
I mean who would want to talk to someone who can’t even speak quietly, can you just remove me from this place. I really don’t like you.
Silence filled the air as the object in the air turned red. Which was weird, but I didn’t bother to understand why, I already had too many questions.
“I should not be surprised as you are a child of the wretched one.”
Uh... I think I’m just going to go...
Whoever was talking to me was... bothersome, I hadn’t broken the amulet immediately because I had someone to talk to! But whoever that is, I dislike them, a lot. So, without a second thought, I snapped the amulet in my mouth.
Nothing happened for a bit but then I felt liquid fill my mouth for an odd reason, but I didn’t focus on that, rather I looked at the large crack in front of me which increased very quickly.
“What have you done!!!”
The crack, as if responding to the voice, started branching out. And not too long later I was falling. Looking down I saw the strange world melting and breaking.
I heard a loud screech which caused me to tightly close my eyes.
“I will find you; the system may hide you, but I will-”
There was the sound of something breaking and I hurriedly opened my eyes as everything turned silent, only the sound of the wind remained. The strange surroundings changed to more familiar surroundings, but this time I was high in the air.
Remembering that falling from a great height was bad, I hurriedly spread my wings, but one of them didn’t move even a bit, causing me to glide slightly, but at the same time go into a spin. Not too long later I felt myself hitting something that snapped and later something hard. My vision once again going dark.
Not... again...
And then the world went black.
