 ====== III. God of the Suffering Abyss ======
+----
+==== 3-1 ====
+Another century of the Chrysos War.\\
+Rust, wails, and the blood of living souls,\\
+Seep into the Earth, into the Giant Dragon's decaying bones and flesh.
+The trembling bedroom is the Giant Dragon's eyes —\\
+They see dromases reduced to laborers and food,\\
+Mythical beasts turned into weapons of war.
+War and flames extinguish all their siblings,\\
+Yet the Giant Dragon is powerless.\\
+Left only with bitter silence,\\
+And memories filled with guilt.
+For Earth's trial\\
+Is to bear the anguish of every living being that walks its surface.
+----
+==== 3-2 ====
+{{ :readable:saga:soaring.dragon.without.restraint:dan-heng3-2.png?200|}}
+Upon the edge of doomsday,\\
+The Giant Dragon's will lay shattered, its scales broken.
+What greeted them,\\
+Is not a flower-covered Era Nova...\\
+But a long-fallen black sword.
+//<color #efe4B0>"Though we... are strangers...\\
+Please... surrender the Coreflame... for the Dawn."</color>//[(Spoken by Khaslana, as the Flame Reaver.)]
+Dawn... Dawn?\\
+If this puppet of destruction years for Dawn,\\
+Then what awaits...\\
+At the end of the Flame-Chase?
+The torment of the black tide,\\
+The sacrifice of their kin...\\
+Is it an undeserved destiny,\\
+Or merely futile lament?
+----
+==== 3-3 ====
+//<color #efe4B0>"I... won't... accept this!"</color>//[(Spoken by Terravox.)]\\
+The twisted rocks rise like a roaring tide.\\
+Yet the swordmaster shows no fear, merely sighs,\\
+As if long accustomed to such sights.
+The rusted joints are shattered one by one.\\
+The cracked husk peels away,\\
+Spilling golden blood...
+The earthquake that engulfs Amphoreus\\
+Lasts for three days and nights.
+In its final moments of defiance,\\
+The Giant Dragon suddenly realizes —
+This Flame-Chase...\\
+Is nothing but the kindling of self-pity,\\
+The breeding ground for calamity.
+----
+==== 3-4 ====
+Yet, Earth's end,\\
+Is not dimmed by the shadow of the dark blade.
+In that special recurrence,\\
+The blazing sun extinguishes itself to set <color #993333>"the Destruction"</color> aflame.
+At that time, as the Giant Dragon sinks into the earth,\\
+Still chewing on the pain of betrayal,\\
+It hears the footsteps of <color #993333>"Evernight."</color>
+//<color #993333>"I need a helper...\\
+To watch over Time until the very end."</color>//[(Spoken by Evernight.)]
+{{ :readable:saga:soaring.dragon.without.restraint:dan-heng3-4.png?200|}}
+<color #993333>"Evernight"</color> waves her sleeve,\\
+Bathing the Giant Dragon in a memoria tide —
+And so, the Giant Dragon sees the past and present of Earth,\\
+And understands that the starry sky is forever out of reach.
+----
+==== 3-5 ====
+The 33,550,337th Eternal Recurrence,\\
+The Demigod Terravox feigns their fall,\\
+Using the tides of memories to dilute their existence,\\
+Forging an ark with Earth's Coreflame.
+In that thousand years of defiance,\\
+Heroes of golden blood meet their tragic end,\\
+While the Giant Dragon remains deaf to their plight,\\
+Only silently gathering their exiled kin.
+The pact with Evernight is simple —\\
+<color #993333>Time</color> would erase the pain of <color #993333>Earth</color>,\\
+And cradle it in peaceful slumber among its own.
+And <color #993333>Earth</color> shall become <color #993333>Time's</color> ally,\\
+For it alone can keep watch...\\
+Until the end of the world.
