--> But the names...the names will be the worst. When all others praise and exalt those names, cheering them for all to hear, the names will cut into your soul.

[[Roleplay/TheDigimonEpics The Digimon Epics index]]
!!Tropes:
* ArcWords: The title. It's the question which has consumed Osiris and left him an empty wreck just living for the next battle.
* BloodKnight: Osiris. [[spoiler: At first]].
--> '''Ajax''': Until all you can look to is the next battle, that next war. That will be all that drives you forward. Only rage and hate and blood. Because anything else...anything more...simply hurts too much.
* TheCameo: Maybe Strom and Nova. It's left unclear whether it actually was them.
* ContinuityNod: Several. Dracul Samhain is mentioned throughout, quotes from Ajax, Tytania, Isis, Ragna, Strom and Azazel show up too. The Dramon SuperSoldier project is mentioned as the source of one of the monsters Osiris fought and killed in the past.
* CoolSword: The Wrymflame.
* CueTheSun: In the ending, symbolizing Osiris letting go of his guilt and the past, and looking to the bright future.
* [[spoiler: EarlyBirdCameo: That white-clad Digimon at the end who ultimately gives Osiris the lecture which breaks him out of his {{Heroic BSOD}}? That's Adirael Armaros, and he'll be in tSI, the continuation of the Civil War/Dark Reign universe.]]
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Even after his death, Dracul Samhain is known as the Black King by most, ala [[Franchise/HarryPotter Lord Voldemort]]. Osiris is the only living character in-fic to use his true name.
* FallenHero: Osiris serves as this throughout, and the whole thing arguably is about him finding a way to get back up again.
* ImplacableMan: The Reapermon, which gives [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail the Black Knight]] a run for his money. It survives being ''beheaded''!
* IronicEcho: Between Dark Reign and the fic, Ajax's words take on different meanings to Osiris:
--> But the names...the names will be the worst. When all others praise and exalt those names, cheering them for all to hear, the names will cut into your soul. Their very utterance will bring about a rage you have never known. You will come to hate their names and hate the world. But more than that, you will come to hate yourself. Until all you can look to is the next battle, that next war. That will be all that drives you forward. Only rage and hate and blood. Because anything else...anything more...simply hurts too much.
* ItsAllMyFault: Osiris blames himself for the deaths in Dark Reign.
* PantheraAwesome: Osiris as BanchoLeomon.
* PrecisionFStrike: Mostly due to the fact when it was being written, Word of God states he realized he hadn't justified PG-13 and so pulled this trope to justify the rating.
* RedBaron: BAN-TYO for Osiris.
* RunningGag: While not exactly a gag, the fic continues storymasterb's trends of ending each installment of the CW-verse with silhouettes of the dead appearing on the sun.
* ShipTease: This is the fic which really started to lather on the hints about Osiris and Tytania.
* ShoutOut: [[spoiler: Adirael]] dresses like [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed Ezio Auditore]] and drops both a line from the man himself, and one of the iconic lines from the series, 'nothing is true, everything is permitted'. In Italian, nonetheless!
* SinisterScythe: Wielded by the Reapermon in the opening fight.
* TheseHandsHaveKilled: Much of Osiris's issues stem from his feelings of responsibility and guilt regarding the deaths of the Dark Reign which happened under his leadership.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: WordOfGod has said that he considered a different ending involving reincarnated versions of Ragna and Valra, but shot it down for the same reason which stopped him reviving Ragna ala two certain characters in Dark Reign, it would have cheapened his sacrifice and what it represented.
