Finietis
He saw the First embrace what should have been the first Cruxia, saw the Gathered hold onto the one that could have been a traitor to them all. Malakai was more than pleased that the Darkling had risen above what 'fate' might have dictated, giving him a small amount of hope that maybe - just maybe, he could save the Luxia where he failed his own kin.
"Just as the Darkling was intended to be Azael's First, so too did we have ours." The Elder offered no fancy moves, no show of magic, no uttered incantation; he stood there, stoic and silent as ever, even as the soul realm began to move. The anima regnum itself seemed to lift, the dark tendrils entwining the two children. Despite the appearance, it was warm and non-threatening, enveloping both of them in the very fabric of the realm. "I free you of your seal, Darkling, to join the Luxia -- and with it, so too has yours been released, Silence." There was a distant thrum of power that resounded through the anima regnum, an extra defense given with the power of the two on the side of the Luxia. As the darkness withdrew from the two, they were children no longer.
"We will need both of you in the days to come."
And just like that, he felt the distant strike of something unnatural, of something...wicked. A twisted knot around his chest that told him that Azael had succeeded, even without Exon on his side. The first Cruxia had been prepared for conception, and now...now it was just a game of waiting...
