The Warriors at the Edge of Time are an army of Eternal Champions waiting at the edge of time for their final battle.
Background[]
The Warriors at the Edge of Time are said to be lost, ravaged, unkind, and cold; the veterans of a thousand psychic wars. They once fought for the Cosmic Balance, and they wait at the edge of time for their time to fight for the Balance to come again. They can only be summoned once every cycle of the multiverse. After the end of the battle they are summoned to fight for, those who survive are returned to the edge of time to await the day they are summoned the next cycle.
Summoning Commands[]
The speech John Daker used to summon the Warriors after Princess Sharadim shattered the Actorios Stone with the Dragon Sword in The Dragon in the Sword:
“NOW I RELEASE YOU! WARRIORS, I RELEASE YOU! YOUR MOMENT HAS COME AGAIN. BY THE POWER OF THE SWORD, BY THE DESTRUCTION OF THE ACTORIOS, BY THE WILL OF THE BALANCE, BY THE NEED OF HUMANKIND, I SUMMON YOU. CHAOS THREATENS. CHAOS SHALL CONQUER. YOU ARE NEEDED!”
“WARRIORS! YOUR TIME HAS COME. YOU MAY FIGHT AGAIN. ONE MORE BATTLE. ONE MORE CYCLE! COME! CHAOS RIDES AGAINST US!”
The speech Elric of Melniboné used to summon the Warriors with his Ring of Kings and Eric Beck's Murakamo-No-Tsurugi in Elric: The Balance Lost:
"WARRIORS, I RELEASE YOU! YOUR MOMENT HAS COME AGAIN. BY THE POWER OF THE SWORD, BY THE POWER OF THE ACTORIOS, BY THE WILL OF THE BALANCE, I SUMMON YOU.
WARRIORS! YOUR TIME HAS COME. YOU MAY FIGHT AGAIN. ONE MORE BATTLE. ONE MORE CYCLE!
WARRIORS! CHAOS AND LAW ALIKE RIDE AGAINST US! YOU ARE NEEDED!"
