While the realms bask in the aftermath of the Celestial Convergence, a mysterious phenomenon begins to unfold—the gradual darkening of the sun and moon. The occurrence is unlike any eclipse witnessed before, as the shadows seem to linger longer each day, casting an ominous pall over the lands.
Lysander and the Black Knight Squadron are summoned by the Council of Elders to investigate the Shadows of the Eclipse. Sensing an ancient and malevolent presence behind the phenomenon, the council believes it poses a grave threat to the realms.
As Lysander and his companions embark on their quest, they uncover a dark prophecy—one that speaks of an ancient Eclipse Guardian, a being of immense power, whose return will plunge the realms into eternal darkness.
To prevent the fulfillment of the prophecy, Lysander and his companions must traverse treacherous terrains and ancient ruins, seeking ancient texts and the counsel of wise sages. Each step of their journey brings them closer to the truth behind the Eclipse Guardian's return.
Along the way, they encounter a forgotten sect of mystics—guardians of an ancient Eclipse Temple. The mystics hold the knowledge of a powerful ritual—one that can weaken the Eclipse Guardian's influence over the celestial bodies and restore balance to the realms.
As they undertake the ritual, Lysander and the Black Knight Squadron must face the malevolent shadows that seek to thwart their efforts. The darkness grows more persistent with every passing day, testing their resolve and unity.
In a climactic battle within the heart of the Eclipse Temple, Lysander faces the Eclipse Guardian—an entity cloaked in darkness and despair. The battle tests not only his prowess as a knight but also his unwavering belief in the light and hope that binds the realms together.
As the Eclipse Guardian's power wanes, Lysander realizes that the key to defeating this malevolence lies not in direct combat, but in a symbolic gesture. With the Nightfall Blade in hand, he reaches out to the Eclipse Guardian, offering a chance at redemption and freedom from the shadows that ensnare it.
Moved by Lysander's compassion and selflessness, the Eclipse Guardian relents, dispelling the malevolent shadows that plagued the realms. The sun and moon once again shine bright, restoring harmony to the lands.
In the aftermath, Lysander and his companions are hailed as the saviors of the realms, their valor and unity celebrated by all. The Eclipse Temple becomes a symbol of hope, a testament to the strength of light over darkness.
As Lysander reflects on their journey, he realizes that the true power of a knight lies not only in the strength of their blade but in their heart—a heart that embraces compassion, empathy, and the unwavering belief in the goodness of the realms.
Chapter 104, "Shadows of the Eclipse," explores Lysander's quest to confront the ancient Eclipse Guardian and dispel the malevolent shadows threatening the realms. The arc emphasizes the power of compassion, empathy, and the unity of the Black Knight Squadron. As Lysander continues his journey as a knight and protector of the realms, he carries with him the understanding that the light within his heart is the most potent weapon against any darkness that may arise in the future.
