A castle was left in destruction fire everywhere money was scattered around the castle floor with insignias of merchants. Flags incrested with gold and the intricate design as a bull or a chest full of money on flags scattered across the floor covered in fire some burnt to a crisp. The fog of death radiates on the castle as people run outside wondering what happened.
A face of death appears above the castle. Its teeth were sharp and its eyes black with dreed. As its gaze fell over the small town covering it in black, snuffing out any light in a second before returning to normal. Only with a couple of differences. The town was covered in an uneasy red fog mixing with black. The place was isolated and eyes seemed to be on you.
A man walked out of the castle with a ghostly figure.
"I am the bringer of death the god of death, I have come to claim the lives of the people who have resented and dreaded the touch or smell of it."
He pointed at one of the people in the crowd.
"That is you"
He pointed at another and then another.
"And you and you but don't be so sad you are not alone"
A smile appeared on the ghost's face if you can even call it that.

The night before the overtaking
"what do you mean you have no plan"
"It's as I said I have no plan Elinor I was making it on the fly and I liked him so might as well make him someone useful"
"He doesn't even know your identity what if he finds out after this? You dim wit I should have known when you made such a wholehearted speech it wasn't even that it was a sentence I'm surprised he even honored you."
He let his disguise fall his boney ghostly body returning the tormented souls slithering around his body almost pleased to see his form.
"Well I believe it's time to honor our promise it's good to see such a town like this"
The hustle and bustle of so many citizens pleased him. The fancy flags stir everyone's happiness as only Matthew could look in disdain but started to feel overjoyed by what is going to take place.
"Elinor you know did you feel joy when you looked at a town happy"
"Well ya, I have it shows prosperity."
"Oh no no no that's not what I meant. I meant during your time when you wanted to destroy the world."
"No, I didn't what are you getting at"
She looked over and she didn't believe it. His bones were moving slowly in and out almost feeding on the souls of the crowd as the tormented souls were happy in their service. moved his body in place making for an awkward feeling for whoever was around him. It was like he was enjoying something else playing in his mind.
"Elinor I'll always support you but just know your goal and mine are different."
His bones rattled loudly.
"You want to stand above everyone and I'll make that happen"
He turned around his unusual body coated in death as his ghostly figure become more clear. Making his rib cage and eyes look blacker than an abyss. Elinor gulped as she realized what he was going to say next causing her to black out for a second and stare in disbelief.
"I want to cause suffering of the people of this world, and suffering makes people want gods to protect them. I'll be the demon in your shadow as you puppet the people around to your liking because that's what you want is it not."
She respected Matthew a lot and seeing this made her realize how lucky she was to be beside him, But deep down it scared her to the ends of the earth. How can I follow someone like him how can I? Why should I? But for Some reason in the same pit or even further than that she didn't just respect this person. She was jealous of how an aura of death can be produced. How can someone like him do this and make me feel so enamored with the fear? It was almost comforting to her but she didn't want to admit it at all.
"I know but just so you know"
She paused feeling conflicted before making her mind up.
"Don't go easy on them and also one thing before you go do this become death itself it's not fun playing a demon be a god instead take a page out of my book"
"Sure will do also one thing make sure you have something of light or warmth. I'm sure you will understand. Something that a beloved god has. I know you only deal with whips and other things but-"
"SHUT UP I do not"
She said pouting cutely
"And I know I'm not a dimwit like you who needs to think later I've already reaffiliated my magic"
(Reaffiliating your magic means differing your attribute and only high-level mages can do it but it comes at the grave cost of not being able to use any spell you previously knew. So if you were light affiliated and went to dark and shadow magic you cant use any of the light and also the dark and shadow magic will only be at half mastery which is simple to fix if you're at a high level it's like playing pool and taking a break for a while you need to freshen up)
"I knew you can darling just wanted to make sure"
I jumped down teleporting into the castle setting up many fire-related magic traps that only light when I tell them to. A couple of guards looked at me, But their heads slide off their bodies as only the sound of wind could be heard not even the weapon was visible. I opened my hand and their souls took their place in it before being crushed and consumed. My body feels overjoyed at its new slaves being introduced to their new cruel home.
"let's start the performance shall we"
I let the magic release sending the castle ablaze and into destruction, I walked out after sending my message. My message of
DEATH.
