Title: Eclipsed Truth
Chapter 34: The Wrath of Eclipse part 2

Eclipse Storms the Order’s Stronghold

The sky above the Order’s hidden fortress was alight with crackling frost and searing rage.

Eclipse did not slow down.

She did not hesitate.

She did not care about the bodies that hit the ground as she tore through their defenses like a living force of destruction.

The first wave of Order guards barely had time to react before Eclipse obliterated them with a wave of Hell Ice Eclipse, freezing them solid where they stood.

Another group charged her with weapons and spells, hoping to overwhelm her—

She blasted them aside without even looking, her eyes glowing brighter and more terrifying than ever before.

Nothing mattered but Vinyl.

And anything in her way would suffer.

The Order Realizes They’re Outmatched

Inside the fortress, a panicked Order scout rushed through the halls, his breaths ragged as he burst into the main war chamber where Sombra and the higher-ranking Order generals stood.

The scout stumbled forward, nearly collapsing. “My lord—!”

Sombra turned slowly, unimpressed. “Speak.”

The scout gasped for air. “Eclipse—she—she’s already at the outer gates! She’s tearing through the defenses!”

One of the Order generals scoffed. “She’s only one mare.”

The scout snapped his head up, eyes wide with terror. “She’s not a mare.” He swallowed. “She’s a storm.”

Sombra raised an eyebrow, amused.

Then—

Another scout burst into the room, even more frantic than the last.

“My lord, there’s—there’s another problem!”

Sombra’s eyes narrowed. “What now?”

The scout gulped. “Queen Chrysalis is with her.”

For the first time, Sombra’s amusement vanished.

The room fell silent.

The Order’s generals shifted uneasily.

“…That,” Sombra muttered, his voice lower, “was not in our calculations.”

Chrysalis Joins the Fray

Outside, Chrysalis was right behind Eclipse, her wings buzzing as she dodged falling ice spikes and bodies flung by Eclipse’s raw power.

“Damn it, filly, slow down!” Chrysalis snarled.

Eclipse ignored her.

A wave of Order mages formed a blockade, summoning barriers and shields to try and slow Eclipse down.

“STOP HER!” one of them screamed.

Eclipse roared, her voice shaking the very air, and sent a titanic wave of Hell Ice Eclipse surging forward. The sheer impact shattered the Order’s shields instantly, freezing half of them where they stood, while the others were blown away by the raw force of her magic.

Chrysalis landed beside Eclipse, grinning as she observed the frozen battlefield. “Hah! You’re even scarier than I thought.”

Eclipse’s eyes burned. “I am going to tear this place apart.”

Chrysalis chuckled. “Good. Let’s make them regret ever touching what’s ours.”

Sombra Prepares for Eclipse’s Arrival

Sombra’s mind raced.

He had accounted for Eclipse’s rage. He had expected her to come blindly into battle.

But he had not expected Chrysalis.

And that changed everything.

One of his generals stepped forward. “Should we activate the final trap now, my lord?”

Sombra’s crimson eyes gleamed.

“No.”

The generals hesitated.

Sombra smirked. “Let her come.” He turned toward the chamber where Vinyl was being held.

“Let her see what we have done.”

Eclipse Reaches the Inner Fortress

The final gate leading into the fortress crumbled under Eclipse’s power, the doors blown inward as she stormed inside.

Chrysalis followed right behind her, her fangs bared in anticipation.

The inner halls of the fortress were filled with Order members, all waiting in formation—hundreds of them.

One of the high-ranking Order commanders stepped forward, sneering. “You’re too late, Eclipse.”

Eclipse’s breath came ragged and seething, her magic crackling like an untamed storm.

Her rage coiled inside her like a beast ready to devour everything.

She took a slow step forward, her voice low and filled with absolute venom.

“…Where is she?”

The commander smirked. “You’ll find out soon enough.”

Then, he snapped his hoof.

And the torches in the fortress suddenly dimmed.

A voice echoed from the shadows—

A voice Eclipse knew all too well.

“Welcome, little monster.”

Sombra had arrived.
