Victor, the Eclipsebringer, had presented the Nocturnal Scholars with a choice—to join forces with him in protecting Elmsford or to face the consequences of their malevolent ambitions. However, he had reservations about aligning with any organization.

For Victor, the role of guardian of Elmsford's night was a deeply personal one. He had always operated as a solitary force, carrying the responsibility of protecting the city on his shoulders. The idea of being part of an organization, even one with good intentions, did not sit well with him.

He understood that his power as the Eclipsebringer was a unique and solitary gift. The Whispering Shadow, a voice of wisdom in the night, reminded him that his role was to be the city's protector, and it was a burden he had carried for as long as he could remember.

The Nocturnal Scholars, recognizing the determination in Victor's eyes, made their choice. They decided to cease their pursuit of control over the supernatural forces and instead focus on preserving the delicate balance of Elmsford's night.

As a result, Victor remained a lone guardian. He continued to patrol the city, using his unique abilities to protect it from supernatural threats and enigmas. His eyes could still turn fiery red, a sign of the monstrous power within him, but he wielded that power with a sense of restraint and discipline.

The nights of Elmsford, though still mysterious and shrouded in enigma, were safer thanks to Victor's vigilance. He knew that his role as the Eclipsebringer was to preserve the balance of light and shadow, and he did so with unwavering dedication.

The journey of shadows, secrets, and power had revealed to Victor that his path was one of solitude. He accepted this fate with a sense of purpose, knowing that the city relied on his unwavering commitment as its guardian.

Elmsford's enigmatic nights continued, and Victor, as the lone guardian, was ready to face whatever challenges the darkness held, standing resolute and vigilant in his role as the protector of the city's secrets.
