#war timeline

“Oh dear... did you really believe that you could run away from me?” Spoke a silver haired being in a cold, icy tone as she rather casually reduced the wall to nothing more than the dust that blew away in the wind. It should not be possible for anyone to be able to reach the inner sanctum of the temple, but here she was... the anomaly herself as defiant of the rules of the world as ever.

The frightened god’s eyes would widen as he spotted the weapon in her hand, it’s blade glowing whiter than the purest of whites... practically blotting out the world with it’s light. At first one might have expected it to be the prismatic blade that she was said to have stolen from it’s bearer only a month ago, but something would feel terribly off... It was not the same weapon of legend, but proof of a matter far worse.

The holy weapon, Aether... It had been not only completed and forged as the queen had planned, but it had found an acceptable master that could wield it’s terrible power... and it had to be her. It just had to be her... That horrible breaker of cycles... One single swipe would mean that he could never be reborn into this world. However as he would discover, it was severely outclassed by it’s partner.

The other sword, while of the same size and girth as the legendary blade was comparatively simple and practical in design until you found the blade had this strange and sickly dark color... an infinite darkness... almost like it threatened to devour everything it touched...Something about it would make what little hope he had in his heart go cold. That was the weapon that destroyed the wall of his inner sanctum with ease... a cruel and vicious mockery of existence that would lay all that would face it’s terrible power low. Yet at the same time... it looked so... plain compared to it’s far more ornate sibling. However, appearances were always deceiving... they made the same mistake before.

As tempting as it was to fight judgement for his action, the old god knew that no matter how far he ran, no matter what he tried to delay his own demise, his fate, like all the others before him would be inevitable. He will have to pay for his actions with his life... and his soul will perish with it.
