Original title - Rebirth of the "evil" Witch
Here we are the final battle. I dark witch Excella faced off with the legendary hero Caius.
Our battle was fierce with neither side willing to back down.
...only to be betrayed by my second in command. My...
So I messed around with those AI art generators and they're kinda neat. So I was able to get some cool designs ideas to use for the titans instead of just artwork taken from google images. You'll be seeing one of those designs this chapter (note not all of them are gonna have a design change)
-Deep in the northernmost regions of Avos-
Hmmmmmm
Footsteps... a child of man is approaching this place.
No... they've already reached the sanctum so they must have passed the trial before.
That woman from a distant Star but... I sense another presence with her. I suppose I must wait to find out.

After making this journey 2 years ago reaching the chamber of the masked Titan wasn't nearly as difficult since I already cleared its trial.
Still this place was brutally cold even with my special heat lined Parka.
But I needed to ask Northeas about those mysterious lights. They almost seemed like something from the Ark but... something about that just seems off. Plus there's that prophecy he mentioned last time. Maybe I could get more answers on that.
I entered the cave and noticed things started to warm up a bit. Not so much I needed to ditch the jacket but now a bit more comfortable.
Normally I'd expect some sort of ice or water elemental creature to be involved with this cold but no Northeas was a being of fire be just happened to absorb so much heat that unless he chose to let it out like he is at the moment the area around would be well below zero.
After reaching the end of the tunnel and entering the chamber I looked up to see the giant with fire emanating out of its body and many masks adorning it's face. This was Northeas.

The giant did not move its body but I could feel his gaze shift to me. Then a deep yet calm voice spoke inside my head.
"Welcome back Talia. Daughter of the distant star. I take it you've come to ask me a question."
"Yes Northeas. I have two questions. First something that's been bothering me is the prophecy you talked about when we last met. You said I was the second but what does that mean?"
"Five years ago Eos informed me that this world would face a cataclysm the likes have only been seen once before before during the Titan wars."
"But what does the second mean? How many of us are there?" I asked him growing anxious by the minute. I always got bad vibes from the whole fate and prophecy thing.
"Very well Talia. The numbers indicate those given a gift by one of the titans powers. For we wish to avoid interfering directly to not risk destroying the world. Wishing to test the Son from the foreign star I informed the creator I would bestow him my power to test him. He proved himself worthy as you may imagine."
