"What?! No!" Gwen protested.

"It may be the only way." Athyis pointed out. "A life activated the Star, a life may be the only thing that can reset it."

Thynvil crossed his arms. "You're the Arch-Paladin, so if you ordered one of us to do it..."

Athyis cut him off. "Lilyarel and Serenarth sacrificed themselves alongside the Nords to let us escape Blackreach. Engwe sacrificed his legs against that sea monster. Mirtil sacrificed his life against those enraged Atmorans. We were 12, now we're 8. Gwenring, Thynvil, Aurora, Nirilor, Faire, Edhebor, Sidanyis and I."

"We all knew that death could come to any of us when we set off on this quest, Arch-Paladin." Edhebor said. "To give our lives so that our race can live on is the highest of honors."

"I will not ask you to do this." Athyis said.

"I'll volunteer." Edhebor affirmed.

"What about your family?" Aurora asked.

"This is for my family. So they can have a future alongside our people." Ed argued. He stepped up to Athyis and the Star. "Sir, if you'd do me the favor of wielding the blade."

Athyis nodded and drew his sword. "May we meet again in the Eternal City."

Edhebor smiled and get in betweent he artifact and Athyis.

The Arch-Paladin put a hand on his shoulder then drove his sword into his chest.

The Star began to glow as Edhebor fell to his knees and thumbled over.

Athyis knelt down and closed his comrade's eyes, then looked up at the artifact and touched it. Unfreeze time. He thought and a wave of energy errupted from the relic.

The three priests fell to the ground and the group no longer felt their lifeforce being sapped by the Star.
