Like you've predicted, I've only brought harm and destruction to my surroundings, no matter where I went... And to make matters worse, I have infected my son with the same defeatist attitude that I wished he would escape from." Despite forming a heart in her chest time and time again, her deteriorating body works as fire to a forest, with Femto ensuring that she would not regenerate from her wounds like he has.
"Vlad... I know how you feel right now, but please, don't give up! Remember... Your fight has not been in vain! The world claims for a savior from darkness, and you know it's not Griffith! Remember all you've met in your journey, all the bonds you've formed, and all the ones still believing in your cause! Life does not end, nor does it begin, it merely transforms... I will always be with you, deep down in your heart, as well as all who have passed away... I love you, dear halfling of mine."
With the light of a thousand suns, Skellig disappears into a white void, the tidal wave of darkness and the infestation of demonic energy disappears from the entirety of the island as it's seals are reformed. The crumbling roots of the Cherry Tree regrow into a larger form. Danaan's bleeding body is healed from the wounds you've gave her, and Femto is blown away into the stratosphere thanks to the powerful expulsion of dark Od, forming an impenetrable barrier around the elf island as it began to rise back to it's previous position, undoing all the damage Femto had made, and reinforcing a barrier so strong that not even he could break into a second time.
Using Lucio's power to control the astral tree, Griffith makes his leave, with Guts shouting at the sky while you lay half awake at the newly formed Cherry Blossom Tree with a live Danaan still at your side. In your hand is the Orb Sivir had absorbed, once as big as her torso, now small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.
With the remaining of her life force, Sivir managed to bring the one that seemingly despised her from the brink of death, and left her corpse as a substitute of the astral tree root she was meant to be since her inception.
"COME BACK, DAMN IT! COME BAACK! THIS ISN'T OVER!" Guts shouts to the point of his voice cracking, still donning the armor and letting it take over as Hyde and Serpico fail to hold him in place as he bashes and bruises them, until your soft-spoken defeated words snaps him back to the truth of the events.
"Guts... Stop. It is over."
The beast of Darkness mischievously pounces away from him, letting the defeat and the pain from only being able to defeat Griffith and save Casca by murdering his newfound beloved son to sink in.
As your head hangs low, so does the branded swordsman's, both robbed of your power to believe and to prosper for a good life.
