Is this "eternal" adverb?
"Legend has it that on the longest day of thousandth year, the stars will aid in her escape and, she will bring about night-time eternal."
This word form belongs to adjective but is used like an adverb? Could you tell me the reason why this happen? Thanks in advance!

"eternal" is an adjective, but it's placed after the noun "night-time" instead of before. This is not normal word order, but word order is sometimes reversed for poetic effect. I don't recommend doing this in ordinary writing and conversation.
