Synopsis
Griffith, leader of Band of the Hawk, faces supernatural choice with Crimson Behelit that alters destiny and reality.
In a dark medieval world where ambition and destiny intertwine, Griffith stands at the pinnacle of his power as the charismatic leader of the Band of the Hawk, a legendary mercenary company that has carved its name into the annals of history. However, when fate deals him a devastating blow that threatens to shatter his grand vision, Griffith finds himself at a crossroads where the boundaries between human will and supernatural forces blur. Drawn to an ancient artifact of immense power—the Crimson Behelit—Griffith faces an impossible choice that could alter the course of his life and the fate of all those who have pledged their loyalty to him. As he stands on the precipice of decision, the very fabric of reality begins to unravel, revealing glimpses of a cosmic design far greater than any mortal ambition. In this tale of ambition, sacrifice, and the price of dreams, the boundaries between good and evil become indistinguishable as Griffith confronts forces that exist beyond human comprehension, forever changing the destiny of the Band of the Hawk and the world itself.
When Griffith realizes that he will no longer be able to actualize his dream in his debilitated state, he wishes upon his Crimson Behelit as a final resort. Doing so triggers the "Eclipse"—a ritual in which the invoker sacrifices something of significance in exchange for great power. Griffith ultimately chooses to offer his legion of devoted followers, the Band of the Hawk. Subsequently, Griffith transcends to the Abyss where he faces an enormous entity akin to God. The being introduces itself as the Idea of Evil. Coveted into existence by humanity's collective subconsciousness, it has gone on to manipulate the lives of humans throughout all world events. As Griffith now exists as a part of the human consciousness, present in the Abyss, the Idea of Evil eerily declares "Your desire is my desire... May your actions bring pain or salvation to mankind. Do as you will, Chosen One." With that, Griffith harvests the pain of his comrades to transform into his ideal self.
