On the eve of the occultation, apostles pilgrimage to the event's pre-ordained setting while killing part of the Band of the Falcon on the way. The Eclipse occurs a year after Griffith is rescued by the Band of the Falcon from his crippling imprisonment in the Tower of Rebirth. In a fierce battle with Guts and Griffith, Zodd recognizes Griffith's importance after noticing the young man's Crimson Beherit and so spares him. Griffith's occultation is alluded to in a Holy See prophecy which states that the appearance of a red lake when the sun "dies five times" heralds the birth of an angel signaling the beginning of an "age of darkness". Griffith, having invoked the Eclipse, is flanked by approaching apostles. Having experienced the aforementioned event as a phantasm by way of a "blood memory" imbued in the Berserker Armor, Guts is personally confident that the event was an Eclipse. In the distant past, Void manifested at a temporal junction point alongside four inhuman beings distinct from his later kinsmen and was witnessed by an unidentified man clad in the Berserker Armor. Void alongside four inhuman beings at a temporal junction point believed by Guts to be an Eclipse.
The ruins of the ancient imperial city and its littered dead, all bearing the Brand of Sacrifice on their foreheads, could be found at the bottom of the Tower of Rebirth. All that remains are traces of the fallen kingdom that were buried under the land which Wyndham would come to be built upon. Legends tell that, in the ancient Midland empire ruled by Gaiseric, disaster destroyed the imperial capital city and was brought forth by four or five angels. After the invoker's rebirth is complete, the event is soon after brought to a close, unless the newborn Guardian Angel of Desire has other theatrics in-mind. The invoker is overcome with a surge of sensations derived from the slaughter of their sacrifice(s) before they assume their proper form. Consequently, their sacrificial offerings are consecrated as such and left to the ravenous apostles present.Īs the feasting on the sacrifice(s) proceeds, the gestation of the newly conceived "child of darkness" undergoes. With the invoker's utterance of "I sacrifice," their rebirth as a God Hand member is initiated. The event's demonic conductor(s) play their part(s) in compelling the invoker so as to realize the invoker's pre-ordained decision. The bearer of the Crimson Beherit is then presented the choice of offering as sacrifice what is most precious to them, in exchange for kinsmanship with the God Hand as a demon. After the Crimson Beherit is activated upon its owner reaching a point of profound despair, it creates a dimensional plane known as a "temporal junction point" in which the Eclipse takes place. Apostles eagerly anticipate the Eclipse, traveling to the designated site of the "promised time" in advance, and ominously awaiting the event at its predestined setting. Only those possessing the Crimson Beherit are able to trigger the Eclipse.
