Then something else appeared atop its right shoulder.
A silhouette...
He stood with a simple posture, arms crossed, head slightly tilted, eyes glowing like eclipsed stars. His body radiated a suffocating darkness deeper than the void around him.
He had no wings, yet space bent around him as if he commanded every particle.
This was none other than Nocturnis...
The one sealed away for tens of thousands of years.
His cloak fluttered in a wind that did not exist as he inhaled sharply.
"Oooohhh…"
His voice vibrated through galaxies.
"That is the freedom I remember."
Even the Executioner bowed slightly beneath him.
Nocturnis tilted his head to taste the air of the universe he once ruled.
Then…
He sniffed.
Sniffed again.
Exhaled in satisfaction.
"My son," his voice echoed across worlds as he called out. "Why do you flee?"
Falco heart frozd as he stopped mid-flight.
E.E clamped onto Falco's arm. "H-He sees us?!"
