The onlooking Arcadians view the new development with interest. One of them opens a spell-mirror to the Council.

'My lords and ladies. There's a Stigma on the battlefield. He appears to have lost control, wiping out the Ollish forces in mere moments, and he has a Divine Armament, likely Amenonuhoko.'

'We'll have to bring him in, so that the Empire doesn't figure out a way to kill him. You know what to do. Erect a barrier and hold him there until the First Highlord arrives.'

The spellcaster nods, before closing the spell and turning to his comrades and nodding. All of them blink, revealing their own crests burned into their eyes, blazing like molten steel.

'I implore you, O Seeker, to lend me a shield for the battle, that I might defend both worthy and unworthy!' The spellcasters cry, with one voice, and a dome of energy erupts out of the ground around the new Stigma, separating him from the rest of the Empire, as well as the Empire from him.

'This is unexpected. Ollin's a law-abiding nation; He'll undoubtedly initially be from the Inquisition.'

'Well, they'll kill him. We have no choice. First Highlord?'

Azarias nods tiredly, drawing forth Bahamut's call device.

'I'll bring him to his senses. Though he won't want me to.' He sighs, and stabs the blade into the ground, holding the pommel with one hand and extending the other to the sky.

'O dragon who devours the flesh and blood of the Gods, heed my call, and appear before me. Bahamut, serve your rider!'

A moment later, and Azarias is encased in the jet-black dragon Divine Armament, thin lines of pulsing dark violet energy traced along the joints. He draws the sword from the ground, and waits patiently as two pole-like arms protrude from the armament's back, purple-black energy rushing out to create dark wings of æther.

'I implore you, O Seeker, to lend me a shining gate of the heavens, that land after land may know your wisdom.' Iris recites, as her magic circle spirals into existence and blurs, revealing the carnage. Azarias steps through.

And with that, the most powerful known Stigma drops into the battlefield.
