Description

Thalara claims a weapon of terrible legacy and stolen divinity. The Witness's scythe was forged from Lady Ruben's own spine during her transformation, humming with celestial power drained from Thalara's veins. When the young warrior picks it up, the blade recognizes its rightful owner—shrinking to fit her grip and answering to the blood that was taken from her. This weapon represents both trauma and triumph: everything stolen from her family transformed into an instrument of justice. As Thalara carries the scythe forward, she wields not just a powerful artifact but a physical manifestation of reclamation, turning suffering into strength.

Truth's Echo

After defeating the Witness, Thalara claims the scythe-like weapon forged from Lady Ruben's own spine—a devastating artifact humming with celestial power stolen from Thalara's own blood. When she picks it up, the weapon recognizes her: it thrums with her power, feels hot in her veins, and shrinks to fit her grip. She tosses aside her old greatsword and straps this new blade where it belongs, claiming both vengeance and reclamation. The scythe represents everything taken from her family transformed into an instrument of justice—her mother's divine heritage, her sister's stolen life, her own drained blood, all forged into a weapon that answers only to her.
