[ The ripples of fate flow. The moment Cyrene and Subaru reach out together with their hearts, Caelus feels the answer coming to him right away. That's right, he knows how to escape… How to call for help, and who to call…
He looks at his hands. He sees it all, especially this gentle ink that connects to a certain someone. Subaru… A familiar warmth fills him, recalling the gentle faces of the people who matter so much to him. Of the memories he's made here. Of the reasons why he's fighting so hard. This planet, Amphoreus, and a planet that he has to return to after all this, the planet Earth… He has much to accomplish. He can't stay here like this.
So, Caelus takes hold of the warmth enveloping him and calls out, raising his hands.
"I'm here. I'm right here. So, please…" ]
— Answer me!
[ And answer they did. First, it's Evernight, who reaches out to him to shatter the cage. Even she has someone dear to protect, so she will never allow the Destruction to reach that person: her other half, March 7th. Following Evernight's reach, Sunday has made an attempt as well, then eventually it's Dan Heng who has done everything he can to finally locate Caelus entirely. ]
"A pathstrider walking both the Remembrance and the Trailblaze… Come… Leave the cage of logos… The mythos of Amphoreus… waits for you to continue its story…"
"Finally… I've found you, Caelus."
[ At this point, Evernight returns into March 7th's heart, allowing her other half to reemerge. After being reunited with March 7th and Dan Heng, they are finally ready to continue their Path to Trailblaze. For the future of Amphoreus.
Dan Heng steps forward, a hand on Caelus. "You once asked what trailblazing meant to me. It has taken on thousands of wills and thousands of forms. To trailblaze to be with those who save themselves. It is to be with all living things. And to be with you. No matter the eb and flow of fate, even in the face of tempestuous seas, in the name of trailblazing, I will guard your way forward." ]
Let's go! On the Trailblaze, no one gets left behind! We'll not only Trailblaze into the future together and save the world… We'll also return to the Express together and head towards our next destination.
"Mm-hmm. After we complete this Trailblaze, let's hold hands and head home together!"
[ And so, they continue forward, guided by the light of their friends. It's almost time to finish the 33 million cycles of sadness.
The echo of friends reaches out.
"If I can defy fate... Then in the name of "Worldbearing," I promise you: Kephale will never forget this. Farewell, Caelus. This is where I fulfill my final destiny. The prophecy of the "Deliverer" means nothing to me now. It belongs in the hands of someone far more fitting. Someone like you. As the prophecy foretold: "I, Phainon, will bear the blazing sun, until the pale dawn— you, Caelus— breaks." May the name accompany you in my place in the epic you write with your own hands."
"Finally. The end of this journey. All of us. Reuniting. Beneath a vast. Endless sky. All the companions who sacrificed themselves. Their wishes. It's all here." "Tomorrow, the stars will sing of the story of the Flame-Chase Journey." "And it won't just be "you" in it. There will be "countless numbers of you." "Amphoreus will be a glorious and magnificent world of heroes in the universe's "memories." Hence, for this world we so deeply love..." "Let us write its ending." ]
"Are you ready, Caelus?"
Yes. Let's move forward. The Flame-Chase… was never about Destruction! It was about breaking free… And Trailblazing! "I" shall compose four hundred million sagas— We will rewrite the Flame-Chasers' path!
[ And now, THE FINAL BATTLE with Irontomb begins, with Subaru as a witness to the very end. However, through their tether, Subaru will constantly feel Caelus's undying fighting spirit. His courage, hope, love. As if he's reaching back to him, asking for the onmyouji's support through this battle. ]
