The gates of Nyx's obsidian temple groaned open like the maw of an ancient beast. Cracked pillars lined the entrance like broken teeth, and the air was heavy with ancient magic. Shadows coiled along the blackened walls, whispering secrets only darkness understood.
The Godsworn stepped forward, their weapons drawn and hearts pounding. The vast chamber before them was unlike any they had seen-a dome of black crystal so pure it absorbed all light.

Aeris stepped forward, fury blazing in her emerald eyes. "Where are Darian and Luna? Release them!"
Nyx smiled coldly. "I can. But only after you defeat me." Her voice dripped with mockery. "If you can."
Thalor scoffed, gripping his trident. "Then let's end this, you shadow-loving coward."
"You come to end the night," Nyx said, her voice echoing through their bones like thunder across a graveyard. "But the night... ends you."
Before they could act, Nyx raised her hand, and a pulse of pure darkness exploded outward. It slammed into the Godsworn like a tidal wave. They staggered, thrown off balance, and then it hit them-harder than any physical blow.
Selene gasped as her staff flickered and died in her hands. Aeris stared in horror as the vines wrapped around her wrists withered to dust. Thalor's trident dulled, and Alexander's lightning fizzled out, leaving only silence.
"You are in my domain now," Nyx purred as she stepped down from her altar. "No god hears you here. No blessing touches you. You are ants clawing at the stars."
With a gesture, Nyx summoned her divine power-Eternal Night. The crystal dome dimmed further until blackness swallowed everything. Shadows became solid. The Godsworn cried out as true, blinding darkness engulfed them.
