#I'd draw the scene where with his last bit of strength after plunging the sword in

[verridaiya]

I finally sat down and watched Sylus's new myth card (late to the party, I know) and I fear I will never be the same person again. I loved everything about it, I don't even know where to start-

(Beyond Cloudfall spoilers under)

The defiant struggle against fate, the Hades and Persephone-esque themes (the pomegranate, the Abyss/the Underworld), the inevitable tragedy. The way they were made to kill each other but chose not to and instead became so intertwined that when they chose to kill themselves instead it would still hurt the other (thereby still sort of fulfilling their fates while acting against it)

How fleeting their first life was, and how it was so steeped in catastrophe and curses that a simple, quiet life together could only be a dream and nothing else (Abyssal Blossom killed me, but more on that later)

How MC taught Sylus how to not just survive, but enjoy the pleasures in life. Music, companionship, warmth, love. Not just desires and wants, but something that goes beyond that. How he finally kissed their forehead back in the end, which they taught him was a sign of love, before he departed from them forever.

And how this young dragon has grown into something more, in another life, in this current timeline, this present Linkon. I actually really love how smoothly myth Sylus transitions into present-day Sylus and how we can see his past life directly influencing this current life. Everything he does now is because of MC, because they were and are his everything.
