Since I accidentally wrote recaps for chapters 7-8 of Sylus' myth, Beyond Cloudfall, for a topic, I decided to torment myself and reread the myth and write recaps for the other seven chapters 🥹👍
Note: I will be addressing Sylus as "the Dragon" until he is properly introduced in the myth. My own commentary will be included for scenes I find intriguing, especially since this will be my second reading (technically third since I'm going through the caps 💀).

SPOILERS FOR SYLUS' MYTH - BEYOND CLOUDFALL, CHAPTER 1
Tumblr media
CHAPTER 1
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The myth begins with MC's narration of her story. She had received judgment for her "crimes," as declared by the arbiter of Philos:
The Sorceress has been judged! Greed and evil shall perish so long as His Majesty and the Sacred Judicator protect Philos for all eternity!
Her sentence is execution, and for that, MC had been thrown into the Abyss, where wanderers roam and are now hunting her down to kill.
Even as wanderers are closing in on her, MC's will to live is strong. She silently and vehemently renounces her fate:
I can't die here... I won't accept this... ...I refuse to accept this!
Another being hears her adamant refusal to accept her sentence and fate, and calls out to her:
There's a flash of lightning, and MC sees the shadow of a massive beast with horns against a wall. His wings are chained tightly, and a greatsword is lodged in his chest. MC appears to recognize this creature, known as "The Fiend." It offers her a deal in exchange for her survival.

Although she has questions about the creature, he urges her to make a decision quickly. The wanderers are closing in on her, and driven by her fury and determination to live, MC pulls the greatsword from the Fiend's chest.
I want to live... No matter... the cost!
When she has pulled the sword free from the Fiend's chest, it turns into light, and as it mingles with a strand of black-red mist, it disappears into her body.

The scene changes. It appears they are no longer in the Abyss, but a chapel instead.
MC feels a heavy weight on her body. The Fiend is pinning her down with his claw on a platform. There is a faint golden light being pulled from her body. She is in agony and as she struggles, she sees the shadow from earlier and realizes this is the Fiend's doing. She decries this:
Stop it...! Our deal... I would be kept alive!
The Fiend, now referred to as Dragon by the dialogue box, taunts her:
To be a dead person walking counts as being alive.
MC continues to struggle, and as she tries to free herself, her will to live strong as ever, a phantom greatsword appears in her hand and is plunged into the dragon's chest. The dragon recoils from the pain and MC is freed. She hears the dragon's voice:
I vividly recall you saying "No matter the cost."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
MC reminds him of their deal: she had set him free, and he had saved her. The deal they have made in the Abyss is done. The dragon says nothing and continues to approach her silently, eyeing her as if she is his prey.
As she tries to keep her distance from him, MC is stumbling over her feet and her words. She reminds him:
Dragons can only feed on human souls if they're offered up willingly. So... as long as I don't agree, you can't eat me.
However, it appears the dragon doesn't want her soul, but his.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
As she struggles, the Dragon taunts her again:
It's not that unbearable, is it? Having your soul torn apart and all.
The dragon pulls her to him from across the platform, his blood-red right eye inches from her face. Her mind gets distorted, and her vision changes. The dragon is no longer in front of her.
She finds herself in a crimson valley where countless solders of the Legion of Justitia are thrusting their weapons at her chest.
Quickly, though, she realizes this isn't her past and the body struggling in pain isn't hers either.
This is the dragon's memory. (SYLUSSSS 😭😭😭💔💔💔)
MC manages to break free from the memory, and the traces of light that was pulled from her chest returns. The Fiend is also pulled closer to her.
He covers his right eye with his hand and demands:
Your power... What is its source?
MC herself doesn't even know, so she doesn't answer him. He grabs her chin and tells her to look at him. He has his grip around her neck, and terrified, she can't help but meet his gaze. In that instance, she hears a voice in her mind. It is undoubtedly hers, but the tone sounds strangely foreign. The voice is ranting:
His eye... I want that eye... It's mine... It belongs to me...
The dragon quips that her scent of desire is getting stronger. He gives her another offer:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She shows hesitancy, the very idea of selling one's soul to the Fiend seems unfathomable in her mind. She rejects him, telling him she doesn't want anything. He calls her a fool.
The dragon's right eye gleams again.
MC is struggling to breathe. Her determination to live kicks in again. She is frantically thinking, needing something—anything—that will allow her to survive. She goes through several thoughts before grasping onto one: she wants to return to Ivory City.
There is a final exchange between her and the dragon:
Dragon: Your life is hanging by a thread, mortal. And yet you still dare to play tricks. MC: ...I'm being honest! I used to live in the Sanctuary, but they judged me as a sorceress and threw me into the Abyss. I won't accept this... I want revenge!
As MC silently panics, her hand reaching for her dagger, her restraints is gone and she is flung back.
The dragon tells her, "Lead the way."
Tumblr media
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
MC is declared a sorceress and sentenced to be executed in the Abyss
There, she meets the last dragon of Philos—also known as "The Fiend"—who's been sealed in the bottom of the Abyss for over 1,600 years.
The greatsword that's been lodged into his chest is pulled free and transforms into light that goes straight into MC's body. Along with the sword, it appears part of the dragon's soul is also absorbed into her body.
The dragon attempts to reclaim his soul, but MC's unknown power counters him.
The dragon's right eye appears to hold some sort of power. MC was able to witness the dragon's memory from when he was attacked and captured over 1,600 years ago.
MC also starts to hear a voice in her mind. It desires the dragon's eye.

it's literally not a good idea in any way shape or form but I want to get a second job in fast food
#it's not a good idea bc the wages are GARBAGE compared to retail#Macca's base rate for my age is less than half my sunday rate#and they don't get much beyond the base rate#whereas retail we have an incredible base rate AND more weekdays past 6pm and weekends (sat is the same as mon-fri 6pm#and sunday is significantly more)#and like yeah im not getting many shifts but if i were to ask for more I still wouldn't be able to work more than 4 hour shifts til july#bc my retail corporation is surprisingly ethical and extends the age limits by a lot#whereas my friend has a 7.5 half hour shift tomorrow AFTER school. on a week night 😁#which is actually horrifying and should nawwt be legal. thats school 9-3 (+20 min) then work 4-11:30 btw#like i should just wait til my birthday in july n ask for more shifts in retail but i want to try fast food#even though the pay is incredibly ridiculously bad (<10 AUD) (yes our adult minimum wage is a good ~23 but under 21 is a percentage of that#like the pay is so bad so i would earn the same or more doing wayy less hours than retail#but i kinda want to get the fast food experience bc it'll be more difficult to get hired as i age#bc i want to save up 20k for top surgery but at the rate im going it'll be difficult to have even thay#let alone savings after top surgery or money to get a car before#and as school gets more difficult it'll be harder to work more#so maybe i should just grind for a few months or til the end of the year then go back to retail exclusively?#and enjoy higher pay and some longer shifts?#but idkkk it's just such a dilemma bc i want more shifts than I'll get at retail but fast food pays so little#but i also really want the experience and to just try it out#im gonna. idk im gonna sit on it for a bit bc i want to get my legal name change sorted before i apply to any second jobs and that will#take a while#so i shall consider. draw up a timetable. write a pros and cons list#yes that sounds like a solid plan#whoop typo but im on mobile i meant 'wayy less hours IN retail'#oscar.exe
