It's Been A While

It's been a while, hasn't it? Only one left, then we shall move on.

We've been thinking, she has grown quite strong, above the gods of this world, above the God of this world, she's on a whole other level compared to those we've faced recently. We could ask her to help us face our master. Maybe if we explained things-

No. We've already taken everything from her. To ask such a thing would be dishonorable. We refuse.

Well, we aren't strong enough to defeat it alone, so what, we just continue to kill? We can't live like this anymore, we have to try.

We can't try, if we try, we will be killed. We must continue, this is the only path. She's had ten years to prepare, ten years since we saw the world on the other side of the barrier be consumed by fire and rise like a phoenix for first time. Ten years since that one being escaped. We have to finish the job. She's had time to prepare. She's already killed two of our minions, and there goes five more. We must act now. She's killing them fast enough that they can't revive eachother. We must strike now!

We're right, let's go.

We fly towards where the last squad of corpses was killed. When we arrive, there she stands, stronger, more direct. This is not the child we spared all those years ago. This is our enemy, and we must not relent.

Would it be more honorable to offer her the first strike?

Probably, yeah. Let's do that. After all we'd rather be dead than kill more.

We don't all agree with that.

We do!

Shut up!

Come on guys, focus, let's offer the first strike and whatever happens happens.

She strikes at us, her green eyes stare into our empty sockets, she stares at us with death in her eyes. It's her or us.

She strikes us again and again with everything she has. Not enough, we don't even flinch. Gods dammit.

They're dead.

Well fuck.

Hey, we're just glad to be alive.

How can we say that? The longer we live the more people die! The needs of the few do not outweigh the needs of the many.

Our master disagrees. Just finish the job.

Fine. We strike her into a wall, knocking her out. We prepare to strike, but we hesitate. What are we doing? Committing mass murder without a second thought, killing everything in our path? And for what? So our master lets us live a little longer? We're gonna run out of worlds to destroy, and what happens then?

Will we shut up! Kill her!

We try again. Just one quick strike, she won't even feel it. It'll be quick, just one quick strike, just one...

We can't do it can we?

No, we can't. She's still weak, she never stood a chance. Just once, we want our for to have a chance, we want a chance for this to end, no matter how it ends, as long as it's over.

If we do not attack, our master will get upset. We have no choice.

Let us try something, I mean, what have we got to lose?

OK, we got a plan.

Gods, mortals, anyone left, hear our plead, we need help. We need an excuse, any excuse to flee from this location. If any of the gods survived answer our prayer!

How can we stall longer?

Let's see, aim for the neck or the back? Where would be more painless?

Neck.

Back.

We say heart

Are we out of our mind? She'd choke on her own blood!

We're stalling aren't we?

Totally.

Ah, well we vote stomach.

After we pretend to argue for a while, being on the astral plane arrives, but he has no physical form. Eh, it'll have to do.

We try to lure him into attacking, and it works. The being attacks. First with an unfamiliar form of magic that appears to be a mix of sun and moon magic. We'll call it eclipse magic. Afterwards, he strikes with sun magic, the devine light burning our flesh.

OK, there's an excuse. Let's go!

Wait! We need to make it look like we're still trying, send a small squad of corpses, say, six?

Six sounds fair.

Great, now, let's go and if our master asks, we're healing from the wound, staying on the other side of this miniverse to prepare for combat. Got it?

Yeah we got it.

Great, let's go.

We flee back to the other side of the world. Now, we await, her arrival, hopefully she'll be stronger then, maybe strong enough to kill us, or even erase us. Just as we did to this world. We have no way to know what comes next, but we can't wait to find out...
