In a climactic confrontation, Lilith, an enigmatic figure with a hidden agenda, finally revealed her true intentions to Gabriel. As the words spilled from her lips, a tidal wave of revelation crashed upon him. Lilith claimed to be his long-lost mother, stolen away from him at birth. She insisted that the darkness that tormented Gabriel was his birthright, a heritage he could not deny.
The weight of this revelation caused Gabriel's mind to whirl in turmoil. Caught in the crossroads of love and power, his heart ached for Eric, his beacon of light, but his eyes gleamed with the intoxicating allure of the darkness Lilith promised.
Just as Gabriel teetered on the edge of their choices, the balance tipped with a resounding crash. Lilith, her powers unleashed in their full might, enveloped the world in an impenetrable darkness. Eric, battered and bruised from the earlier battle, watched with growing dread as Gabriel was swallowed by the void, vanishing from his sight.
