Chapter 19

**Silas's Determination:**

The aftermath of the intense battle left the battlefield shrouded in an eerie calm. Silas, his form radiating with the residual energy of the Eclipsis Stone, surveyed the remnants of Lord Malachi's forces. Amidst the shadows, he saw the defeated warlord, Lord Malachi, standing with a defeated resolve.

Silas: "It is time to unveil the truth behind this conflict."

**The Capture:**

Silas, with a determination to understand the forces manipulating the cosmic balance, approached Lord Malachi. His radiant presence contrasted starkly with the warlord's now weakened aura.

Silas: "You sought revenge, but your true enemies are the shadows that manipulated you. Tell me who commands them."

With a swift yet controlled motion, Silas used the radiant energy at his command to immobilize Lord Malachi. Bound by the ethereal glow, the warlord was captured without resistance.

**Transporting to the Castle:**

Silas, his allies surrounding them, transported Lord Malachi to his grand castle. The journey was silent, save for the echoes of the warlord's footsteps resonating in the grand halls.

As they entered the castle's interrogation chamber, Silas released the ethereal bindings, allowing Lord Malachi to stand before him.

**The Interrogation:**

Silas, his eyes piercing through the shadows that clung to Lord Malachi, began the interrogation.

Silas: "You were a pawn, Lord Malachi. Now, tell me about Moros and Saraphel. Who pulls the strings behind the shadows?"

**Lord Malachi's Revelation:**

Lord Malachi, weakened and humbled, spoke of the forces that orchestrated the cosmic conflict.

Lord Malachi: "Moros and Saraphel are the architects of this grand design. I was but a pawn, a test to gauge your power, Silas. Moros, the puppeteer in the shadows, sought to understand the extent of your abilities."

As Lord Malachi revealed the details, the magnitude of the cosmic struggle became apparent. Silas listened, his focus unwavering as he sought to grasp the depths of the manipulation that had ensnared them all.

**Moros's Power:**

Lord Malachi, his voice filled with a mix of awe and fear, spoke of Moros's unparalleled power.

Lord Malachi: "Moros wields the darkest of shadows. His power eclipses anything we've faced. He is the true orchestrator, pulling the strings from the veil of darkness."

Silas, absorbing the revelations, recognized the gravity of the situation. The destinies, Moros, and the shadows that danced on the periphery—all were pieces in a cosmic puzzle that required unraveling.

The grand chamber resonated with the weight of the revelations, setting the stage for a confrontation that transcended the battlefield—a confrontation that would decide the fate of a Better World in the face of the shadows that sought to shape its destiny.
