Across the low table, he watches Ardyn's expression as it shifts to contain his fury. Somnus watches this, then replies in a measured voice, stating simply:
"You have won."
The endless night, the corruption of three kings of yore through the scourge, and the end of Lucis has all been realized by Ardyn's own hands. Even the end of the royal line, Somnus' own, is just within his reach, and there is nothing to stop this. Ardyn's vengeance is sanctified by the gods themselves. But of course even that would not be enough. Unfortunately, the gods' promise to an end of their immortality cannot be obtained while in Avalon. They are bound to be bleed eternally.
"If your victory is not enough... then the end you seek is not here. For neither of us."
