And with that, he faded out of sight. Gone...and I looked around, surveying the damage he'd done. I'd been a hero before he came into my life and now...what was I? I wasn't a hero anymore. I knew he had spoken the truth. I felt too different.
Eddie still lay where Khaeon had flung him. Lost to unconsciousness. The author of this unfolding tragedy? Yes, but...I was to blame. Ultimately, this was on me. I didn't keep the suit safe. I had unleashed this dark terrible threat onto the world. The heroes, they had to be told of this. They needed to prepare for the coming conflict...whenever it was going to be.
My knees gave way and I crumpled to the floor beside Eddie and fell into unconsciousness myself.
