Chapter 5 - The Dark Gods

Out of the corner of your eye, you see a planet-sized golden chain come flying at you with the speed of a meteor. You turn to react, but you can't react fast enough and you close your eyes as the chain hits you directly. Upon contact with you, the chain dissolves into a bunch of butterflies that lose their inertia and sparkle out of existence like fireworks in a grand display.

The One speaks to you inside your mind.

" ᴅᴏ ɴᴏᴛ ᴡᴏʀʀʏ, ᴍᴏʀᴛᴀʟ. ɪ ᴡɪʟʟ ɴᴏᴛ ʟᴇᴛ ᴀɴʏ ʜᴀʀᴍ ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ᴛᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀꜱ ʟᴏɴɢ ᴀꜱ ɪ ᴀᴍ ᴘʀᴇꜱᴇɴᴛ. "

You look at where the chain came from and you see a colossal golden titan glowing with a golden fire of wrath. You can see the space and existence around the titan completely shattered as its colossal chains swing and circle around it. The titan raises its arm slowly and points its finger directly at you.

" ꌦꄲ꒤. "

The titan glares into your soul and his cosmic demonic voice shakes you to the bone.

"

" ᴇɴᴏᴜɢʜ. "

The One exclaims as the titan's body, legs and neck are wrapped by his own chain and he is forced onto his knees. The titan screams with a cosmic rage and 2 planets around the titan crumble into dust by the sheer power of his voice. The chain then wraps around the titan's face multiple times, causing the titan to calm down and be obedient.

" ᴍʏ ꜰᴏᴜʀᴛʜ ꜱᴏɴ ᴀɴᴅ ꜰɪꜰᴛʜ ᴄʜɪʟᴅ. ɴᴀʜᴢɢᴏʀ. ɢᴏᴅ ᴏꜰ ᴅᴏᴍɪɴᴀᴛɪᴏɴ, ᴠɪᴏʟᴇɴᴄᴇ, ᴇɴꜱʟᴀᴠᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ, ᴀɴᴅ ᴇɢᴏ. ꜰᴀᴛʜᴇʀ ᴏꜰ ᴀʟʟ ᴅʀᴀɢᴏɴꜱ ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇꜱꜱᴇɴᴄᴇ ᴏꜰ ᴘᴜʀᴇ ᴅᴇꜱᴛʀᴜᴄᴛɪᴏɴ. ᴀꜱ ᴍʏ ꜰᴏᴜʀᴛʜ ꜱᴏɴ, ɴᴀʜᴢɢᴏʀ ᴡɪʟʟ ɢɪᴠᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏʀᴛᴀʟꜱ ᴡʜᴏ ᴡᴏʀꜱʜɪᴘ ʜɪᴍ ᴜɴʏɪᴇʟᴅɪɴɢ ᴘᴏᴡᴇʀ ᴀɴᴅ ᴀɴ ᴜɴᴅʏɪɴɢ ᴀᴍʙɪᴛɪᴏɴ ꜰᴏʀ ꜱᴜᴘᴇʀɪᴏʀɪᴛʏ ᴏᴠᴇʀ ᴛʜᴇ ᴏᴛʜᴇʀ ɪɴʜᴀʙɪᴛᴀɴᴛꜱ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇɪʀ ᴜɴɪᴠᴇʀꜱᴇ. "

The One's voice can be heard throughout all of space as he commands Nahzgor.

" ʙᴇɢᴏɴᴇ, ᴍʏ ꜱᴏɴ. ʏᴏᴜ ᴍᴀʏ ᴄʀᴇᴀᴛᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʀᴇᴀʟᴍ ᴛᴏ ʀᴜʟᴇ ᴏᴠᴇʀ ʜᴏᴡᴇᴠᴇʀ ʏᴏᴜ ꜱᴇᴇ ꜰɪᴛ. ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜ ᴏᴠᴇʀ ᴛʜɪꜱ ᴜɴɪᴠᴇʀꜱᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ꜰᴜʟꜰɪʟʟ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴘᴜʀᴘᴏꜱᴇ. "

" ꌦꄲ꒤ ꅐ꒐꒒꒒ ꋪꏂꍌꋪꏂ꓄ ꓄ꁝ꒐ꇙ, ꂵꄲꋪ꓄ꋬ꒒. "

Nahzgor says to you in his deep ominous voice as he is sent into his own dimension by The One.

You begin to see the space distort around where Nahzgor shattered it. Sharp lines of what looked like broken glass turn into glowing orange vines with thorns and spin to form a cosmic circle where Nahzgor once was. Suddenly, one of the planets that Nahzgor destroyed poofs back into existence and what looks like a cosmic old man wearing a mask and purple outfit steps through the glowing circle. Space and time distort in all directions as this being stands before you. It starts giggling and rambling like a crazy person.

" ꁝꏂꁝꏂꁝꏂ! ꇙꄲꅐꁴꄲ ꒒꒐ꀘꏂꇙ ꅐꁝꋬ꓄ ꇙꄲꅐꁴꄲ ꇙꏂꏂꇙ! ꅐꁝꋬ꓄ ꊰꋬ꓄ꁝꏂꋪ ꒯ꏂꋬꋪ ꁝꋬꇙ ꃳꋪꄲ꒤ꍌꁝ꓄ ꓄ꄲ ꂵꏂ! ꓄꒐ꋊꌦ ꂵꄲꋪ꓄ꋬ꒒ ꊰꄲꋪꏂ꒐ꍌꋊ ꂵꄲꋪ꓄ꋬ꒒ ꁝ꒤ꂵꋬꋊ ꂵꄲꋪ꓄ꋬ꒒ ꂵꄲꋪ꓄ꋬ꒒ ꂵꄲꋪ꓄ꋬ꒒! ꋪꏂꋬ꒯꒐ꋊꍌ ꅐꄲꋪ꒯ꇙ ꒤ꉣꄲꋊ ꓄ꁝꏂ ꇙꉔꋪꏂꏂꋊ! ꓄ꁝ꒐ꋊꀘ꒐ꋊꍌ ꓄ꁝꄲ꒤ꍌꁝ꓄ꇙ ꋬꋊ꒯ ꒯ꋪꏂꋬꂵ꒐ꋊꍌ ꒯ꋪꏂꋬꂵꇙ! ꇙꄲꅐꁴꄲ ꒐ꇙ ꉣ꒒ꏂꋬꇙꏂ꒯! "

The being begins to dance around the formerly destroyed planet in a circle like a lunatic while singing and rhyming nonsense. Then it looks at you and grins from ear to ear before asking you a question in a deep inquisitive tone.

" ꒯ꄲ ꌦꄲ꒤ ꒒꒐ꀘꏂ ꓄ꁝ꒐ꇙ ꉣ꒒ꋬꋊꏂ꓄? "

Before you can muster up a response, the being claps its hands twice and the planet turns into a planet-sized version of Faerah that looks at you intimately and starts dancing slowly. Her hands run up and down her body seductively as she dances and holds your gaze with a look of desire. Sowzo asks again.

" ꁝꂵꂵꂵ? ꁝꄲꅐ ꋬꃳꄲ꒤꓄ ꋊꄲꅐ? "

Suddenly, the being manifests a whip in its hand and starts violently lashing Faerah with it. The whip strikes her body and face and you can see a white cosmic blood start to drip from the lacerations. Faerah falls to her knees and begins to cry while begging you to help her.

" ꅐꁝꋬ꓄'ꇙ ꓄ꁝꏂ ꂵꋬ꓄꓄ꏂꋪ, ꂵꄲꋪ꓄ꋬ꒒? "

Sowzo teases you and cries out in Faerah's voice while continuing to mercilessly flog her. Faerah screams in pain as each strike cuts her deeper and deeper.

" ꄲꅐ꒐ꏂ! ꄲꅐ꒐ꏂ! ꁝꏂ꒒ꉣ ꂵꏂ ꂵꄲꋪ꓄ꋬ꒒! ꒐'ꂵ ꃳꏂ꒐ꋊꍌ ꅐꁝ꒐ꉣꉣꏂ꒯ ꋬꋊ꒯ ꃳ꒒ꏂꏂ꒯꒐ꋊꍌ ꋬꅐꊰ꒤꒒! ꉔꄲꂵꏂ ꋬꋊ꒯ ꇙꋬ꒦ꏂ ꂵꏂ, ꉔꄲꂵꏂ ꋬꋊ꒯ ꓄ꋪꌦ! ꒐ ꁝ꒤ꋪ꓄, ꒐ ꁝ꒤ꋪ꓄, ꒐ ꉔꋪꌦ ꉔꋪꌦ ꉔꋪꌦ! "

Faerah continues to cry on her knees in a pool of her own blood as she screams in pain after each laceration. All the while you sit there completely powerless to do anything about it.

" ᴇɴᴏᴜɢʜ. "

The whip explodes into nothingness and both of the planets return back to their original state before Nahzgor had destroyed them. Sowzo's sinister grin turns into a smug smile as he stares at you while The One speaks to you.

" ᴍʏ ꜰɪꜰᴛʜ ꜱᴏɴ ᴀɴᴅ ꜱɪxᴛʜ ᴄʜɪʟᴅ. ꜱᴏᴡᴢᴏ. ɢᴏᴅ ᴏꜰ ᴄʜᴀᴏꜱ, ᴍᴀᴅɴᴇꜱꜱ, ᴅʀᴇᴀᴍꜱ, ᴀɴᴅ ɴɪɢʜᴛᴍᴀʀᴇꜱ. ꜰᴀᴛʜᴇʀ ᴏꜰ ᴀʟʟ ꜱᴘɪʀɪᴛꜱ ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇꜱꜱᴇɴᴄᴇ ᴏꜰ ɪʟʟᴜꜱɪᴏɴ. ᴀꜱ ᴍʏ ꜰɪꜰᴛʜ ꜱᴏɴ, ꜱᴏᴡᴢᴏ ᴡɪʟʟ ɪɴꜰʟᴜᴇɴᴄᴇ ᴍᴏʀᴛᴀʟꜱ ᴛᴏ ᴘᴜʀꜱᴜᴇ ᴛʜᴇɪʀ ᴅʀᴇᴀᴍꜱ ᴀɴᴅ ꜰᴀᴄᴇ ᴛʜᴇɪʀ ɴɪɢʜᴛᴍᴀʀᴇꜱ ᴡɪᴛʜ ʜɪꜱ ᴄᴏᴍᴘʟᴇᴛᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ᴀʙꜱᴏʟᴜᴛᴇ ᴄᴏɴᴛʀᴏʟ ᴏᴠᴇʀ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍɪɴᴅ. "

The One's voice can be heard throughout all of space as he speaks to Sowzo.

" ʙᴇɢᴏɴᴇ, ᴍʏ ꜱᴏɴ. ʏᴏᴜ ᴍᴀʏ ᴄʀᴇᴀᴛᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴏᴡɴ ʀᴇᴀʟᴍ ʜᴏᴡᴇᴠᴇʀ ʏᴏᴜ ꜱᴇᴇ ꜰɪᴛ. ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜ ᴏᴠᴇʀ ᴛʜɪꜱ ᴜɴɪᴠᴇʀꜱᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ꜰᴜʟꜰɪʟʟ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴘᴜʀᴘᴏꜱᴇ. "

Sowzo's face illuminates with joy and he speaks to you in a laughter before he departs to his own dimension.

" ꁝꋬꁝꋬꁝꋬ! ꂵꄲꋪ꓄ꋬ꒒, ꁝꏂꋪꏂ'ꇙ ꋬꋊ ꋬꉣꄲ꒒ꄲꍌꌦ ꊰꄲꋪ ꌦꄲ꒤! ꒐ ꄲꋊ꒒ꌦ ꅐꁝ꒐ꉣꉣꏂ꒯ ꌦꄲ꒤ꋪ ꍌ꒐ꋪ꒒ꊰꋪ꒐ꏂꋊ꒯ ꓄ꄲ ꇙꏂꏂ ꅐꁝꋬ꓄ ꌦꄲ꒤ ꅐꄲ꒤꒒꒯ ꒯ꄲ! ꋊꄲ ꋊꏂꏂ꒯ ꓄ꄲ ꁝꋬꋪꃳꄲꋪ ꁝꋬ꓄ꋪꏂ꒯ ꄲꋪ ꉔꄲꋊꊰ꒤ꇙ꒐ꄲꋊ! ꁝꏂꋪ ꉔꋪ꒐ꏂꇙ ꋬꋊ꒯ ꃳ꒒ꄲꄲ꒯ ꅐꏂꋪꏂ ꄲꋊ꒒ꌦ ꋬꋊ ꒐꒒꒒꒤ꇙ꒐ꄲꋊ! "

Sowzo then explodes into a fiery assortment of eyeballs and roses that burn into nothingness, and he's gone into his own dimension.

Still upset from what you just witnessed, you begin to feel an icy coldness creep over you. You notice that your nose begins to bleed, and a few drops of blood float out a reasonable distance before they combine together and begin to create a human-sized disc of blood in front of you. From the outside of the disc going inwards, the blood turns from red to blue to the white cosmic blood you saw dripping from Faerah's body earlier. Then, the blue and red blood grows from the bottom of the disc and takes the feminine shape of a beautiful woman with fair dark blue skin. Her only clothes are what looks like 2 strips fabricated out of red blood, running and dripping down her curves into the disk that she came from. She speaks in a soft and alluring tone as she approaches you.

" ꅐꁝꋬ꓄ ꒯ꄲ ꅐꏂ ꁝꋬ꒦ꏂ ꁝꏂꋪꏂ? "

She puts her arms up and blood continues to flow from her hands down onto her body. The blood covers any obscenities from your sight as it runs down her curves. She gets even closer to you to the point that you can feel her breathing on your skin and she grabs your hand.

" ꋬ ꂵꄲꋪ꓄ꋬ꒒ ꅐ꒐꓄ꁝ ꂵꄲꋪ꓄ꋬ꒒ ꒯ꏂꇙ꒐ꋪꏂꇙ. "

She says softly as she puts your hand on her chest. Your hand passes through the strip of blood and you can feel her bare skin and areola. Her skin is warm and soft to the touch and you feel the blood that's running down her curves coating the top of your hand as she uses your hand to caress herself. You feel as if you're cast under a spell and you're unable to resist her advances. She continues to speak to you seductively.

" ꒐'ꂵ ꍌꄲ꒐ꋊꍌ ꓄ꄲ ꁝꋬ꒦ꏂ ꇙꄲꄲꄲ ꂵ꒤ꉔꁝ ꊰ꒤ꋊ ꅐ꒐꓄ꁝ ꌦꄲ꒤, ꂵꄲꋪ꓄ꋬ꒒. "

She begins to move your hand downwards from her chest, to her stomach, then down to a more sensitive area.

" ᴇɴᴏᴜɢʜ. "

The One interjects and stops her before your hand gets to where she wanted it to be.

You snap out of the trance and fall on your back, stumbling down and spinning backwards in space as you float away from her. You look at your blood-covered hand and feel drained of life, as if this woman siphoned the blood directly from your veins. You look back at her in terror and see her gazing at you with glowing red eyes like you're her next meal. The One speaks to you inside of your mind.

" ᴍʏ ꜱᴇᴄᴏɴᴅ ᴅᴀᴜɢʜᴛᴇʀ ᴀɴᴅ ʏᴏᴜɴɢᴇꜱᴛ ᴄʜɪʟᴅ. ʀᴇʏʟᴇꜱʜ. ɢᴏᴅᴅᴇꜱꜱ ᴏꜰ ꜱɪɴ, ᴅᴇʙᴀᴜᴄʜᴇʀʏ, ᴍᴀɴɪᴘᴜʟᴀᴛɪᴏɴ, ᴀɴᴅ ꜱᴜꜰꜰᴇʀɪɴɢ. ᴍᴏᴛʜᴇʀ ᴏꜰ ᴀʟʟ ᴅᴇᴍᴏɴꜱ ᴀɴᴅ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇꜱꜱᴇɴᴄᴇ ᴏꜰ ᴠᴏʟᴜᴘᴛᴜᴏᴜꜱɴᴇꜱꜱ. ᴀꜱ ᴍʏ ꜱᴇᴄᴏɴᴅ ᴅᴀᴜɢʜᴛᴇʀ, ʀᴇʏʟᴇꜱʜ ᴡɪʟʟ ᴇɴᴛɪᴄᴇ ᴍᴏʀᴛᴀʟꜱ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴅᴇꜱɪʀᴇꜱ ᴀɴᴅ ʜᴇʀ ᴄᴏɴᴛʀᴏʟ ᴏᴠᴇʀ ᴛᴇᴍᴘᴛᴀᴛɪᴏɴ ᴀɴᴅ ᴍᴀᴋᴇ ᴛʜᴇᴍ ꜱᴜꜰꜰᴇʀ ɪꜰ ᴛʜᴇɪʀ ᴡɪʟʟᴘᴏᴡᴇʀ ᴀɴᴅ ᴅɪꜱᴄɪᴘʟɪɴᴇ ꜰᴀɪʟꜱ.

The One's voice can be heard throughout all of space as he speaks to Reylesh.

" ʙᴇɢᴏɴᴇ, ᴍʏ ᴅᴀᴜɢʜᴛᴇʀ. ʏᴏᴜ ᴍᴀʏ ᴄʀᴇᴀᴛᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴏᴡɴ ʀᴇᴀʟᴍ ʜᴏᴡᴇᴠᴇʀ ʏᴏᴜ ꜱᴇᴇ ꜰɪᴛ. ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜ ᴏᴠᴇʀ ᴛʜɪꜱ ᴜɴɪᴠᴇʀꜱᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ꜰᴜʟꜰɪʟʟ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴘᴜʀᴘᴏꜱᴇ. "

Reylesh gives you one last gaze, looking you up and down. She responds to The One before she bites her lip and disappears into her own dimension.

" ꂵꁝꂵꂵ. "

Completely scarred from what you've just endured, you feel like a husk.

The One reads your thoughts.

" ʏᴏᴜ ᴍᴀʏ ᴊᴜᴅɢᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍᴏʀᴛᴀʟ ᴡʜᴏ'ꜱ ᴀʟʟᴏᴡɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ ᴛᴏ ᴡɪᴛɴᴇꜱꜱ ᴛʜɪꜱ ᴜɴɪᴠᴇʀꜱᴇ, ʙᴜᴛ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴊᴜᴅɢᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ ᴡɪʟʟ ʙᴇ ᴍɪꜱᴘʟᴀᴄᴇᴅ. ɪ ᴀᴍ ᴜꜱɪɴɢ ᴛʜɪꜱ ᴍᴏʀᴛᴀʟ ᴀꜱ ᴀ ᴡɪɴᴅᴏᴡ ꜰᴏʀ ʏᴏᴜ ᴛᴏ ʟᴏᴏᴋ ɪɴᴛᴏ ᴛʜɪꜱ ᴜɴɪᴠᴇʀꜱᴇ, ᴀɴᴅ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴀʟʟ ᴜɴɪᴠᴇʀꜱᴇꜱ, ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ɪꜱ ᴀʟᴡᴀʏꜱ ᴀ ꜱᴘᴇᴄᴛʀᴜᴍ ᴏꜰ ʟɪɢʜᴛ ᴀɴᴅ ᴅᴀʀᴋ. ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴡɪʟʟ ᴀʟᴡᴀʏꜱ ʙᴇ ᴇxᴛʀᴇᴍᴇꜱ ᴏɴ ʙᴏᴛʜ ᴇɴᴅꜱ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴘᴇᴄᴛʀᴜᴍ. ɢᴏᴏᴅ ᴄᴀɴɴᴏᴛ ʙᴇ ʀᴇʟᴀᴛɪᴠᴇ ᴡɪᴛʜᴏᴜᴛ ᴀɴ ᴇxɪꜱᴛᴇɴᴄᴇ ᴏꜰ ᴇᴠɪʟ ᴛᴏ ᴄᴏᴍᴘᴀʀᴇ ɪᴛ ᴛᴏ. ʙᴏᴛʜ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪɢʜᴛ ᴀɴᴅ ᴅᴀʀᴋ ɴᴇᴇᴅ ᴛᴏ ᴇxɪꜱᴛ ɪɴ ᴏʀᴅᴇʀ ꜰᴏʀ ᴛʜɪɴɢꜱ ᴛᴏ ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ɪɴᴛᴏ ʙᴇɪɴɢ, ᴀꜱ ɪ'ᴍ ꜱᴜʀᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ʀᴇᴍᴇᴍʙᴇʀ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ᴡʜᴇɴ ɪ ꜰɪʀꜱᴛ ꜱᴘᴏᴋᴇ ᴛᴏ ʏᴏᴜ. ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴍᴏᴠᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴀʀᴋɴᴇꜱꜱ ᴡᴏᴜʟᴅ ʙᴇ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴍᴏᴠᴇ ᴇxɪꜱᴛᴇɴᴄᴇ ᴇɴᴛɪʀᴇʟʏ. ᴛʜᴇ ᴀʟᴛᴇʀɴᴀᴛɪᴠᴇ ᴡᴏᴜʟᴅ ʙᴇ ɴᴏᴛʜɪɴɢ ᴇxᴄᴇᴘᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪɢʜᴛ.

The One turns you around to look at the planet he's chosen for you. The beauty of the planet comforts you as you stare in awe at the magnificence of it. You look forward to seeing what fantastical environments await you on the surface.
