The Heroes of Light that were absorbed in the Calamity will find themselves waking up on the ground in a void, even though they cannot see the ground beneath their feet. Upon touching the ground they'll be able to feel it is slimy, viscous and downright gross. As if their hands were grasping at the innards of a creature.
Ere long, a voice echoes around them. One they might recognize as Shakyamuni's if they have spoken with her before.
"Kalki is not only one of our facet but also one of your kind. Her desires are that of past Heroes of Light - of all living consciousness - who wish for an end to cycles and hope for a different kind of existence. But your fight against her reflects the desires of those consciousnesses who would continue with this world and better it in spite of the pain rather than negate it. She is avatar of ours, but you are avatars of yours."
The ground shakes very slightly and the aura grows oppressing-- Listening into the distance, it sounds as though faint and ethereal screams can be heard. Thousands, millions, billions of voices? It was hard to tell, the noise is too faint and the cacophony too grand to be understood.
"By having merged with Narayana, Kalki gained all of its strengths and resistance. But Narayana gained all of her weaknesses. This is no coincidence. For so many shattered consciousnesses to find wholeness, we shall need your melodies. We cannot die yet perhaps we may find rest. This, too, is no coincidence."
A pause.
"Neither side is right nor wrong. But if your will to live in our world exceeds her will to exist in another... Defeat us now and give birth to a new beginning."
