Scene 12 {Finale}. The Fated Stroke of Midnight

Unique Trait: Favored by Nihila, this aetherling serves no primal but the Sister of Void herself, acting as Her champion of shadows. This manifests in a Fated Gift -- the power to make soul-binding contracts to those who possess a powerful enough dream.

The dream of a darkened heart brought to light.

Six shadowed wings across a starlit sky, fluttering silent as the winter stillness.
A call has been delivered, and the Void hath answered.
Nihila brings forth her champion to answer the plea of a man at a desperate crossroads.
Fate shall play her hand upon this winter night as the hour strikes twelve...

Summoned by one of the Cirque's founders at the start of its tale, this child of Nihila was sent as a champion of Her dark gifts, and Her truth as the secret guardian of the emptiness of the Void beyond all knowing.
A paragon of countless centuries, this aetherling has seen the darkest of the worlds -- and as eons passed, allowed that darkness to cloud their soul in a haze of bitterness.
Perhaps it was Nihila's wish to see light brought to this soul.

Binding the three founders of the Cirque into an oath upon their collective dreams, this Paragon is the hidden final act of the show -- perched upon an ancient grandfather clock, their magic of fate ringing out as the doleful chime strikes twelve. Behind their luminous eyes rests the hopes of a thousand dreams.

And perhaps someday, as midnight after midnight passes...this Paragon too will find in their crystallized heart the dream long lost.
