55 Regre

Behind us the vast empty Void that once was is no more, in front of us the young dark skinned youthmarches on tearing every Creed that approaches him apart. As the True Gods recover from their dazed states we all come to find ourselves being protected by Dashnell's Domain.

All True Gods possess a Domain, but once it is placed down it can never be moved until death. Think of it as setting up a territory, it provides significant boost to the owner while striping the attacker of most of their power feeding it to the Domains creator. Most True Gods only deploy their Domains when they are on the verge of dying, while the Domain can not be moved it can expand and grow covering more space as the True God becomes stronger.

We can all feel that this is Dashnells Domain and that he is moving it in the direction of Teressa, even I fail to understand how he is able to display such ability and power. How much time did we spend holding off the Creed before they pushed us to flee into the Void, how long did it take for us to retreat out of the hellish area around Teressa. Yet now he is simply walking through time and space as if he is taking a breath of air, all the while he is massacring the Creeds unending numbers making even it seem as if my power amounts to nothing before him.

Before we can get over the shock of his ever expanding Domain and power ahead of us we spot the Creed nest.

"Crest you are a fragment of him that is a fact I have known since I failed to kill you all those years ago when you were first born, so tell me right now why do I feel that you have more power than he does?" Said one of the True Gods, a tall frail looking man with golden eyes.

"I- I am stronger yes but I am sure if we fought he would kill me as soon as I would try to move."

I do not know how to explain my masters power to them I can't even explain it to myself so how could I provide information to them.

The Creed in this area go into a rage as Dashnell keeps moving towards Teressa, looking around I fail to spot any of the Guardians she had protecting her before, did they die? That's not good as I start to panic I ask the others to help me scan the area for the Guardian Teressa created with red eyes, moving closer thanks to Dashnell not stopping at all we come to a battlefield inside the nest.

Reaching the inner region of the nest we finally find the Guardians we were searching for, dying to their Creed brethren. In the center of this battlefield is Teressa guarded by the red eyed Guardian, it's true body a massive dragon that is doing it's best to aid the other Guardians that are under its command. As if knowing my intention Dashnell roots me to the ground his Domain created looking at me with a smile he says. "Stay here you will only get in my way, I will kill her and stop these 'Creed' so you just stay here inside my Domain it is more suited to protecting you than I am. My other Domain will not be able to tell friend from foe, maybe you can survive within it as you are my Guardian but just stay put."

Walking away from us he makes his way towards the battle taking place below, I look back at the True Gods to ask them if they also have two Domains. They all just stare at Dashnells back unable to say that he is also one of their race, be it his power his behavior and personality he is nothing like a True God he is more like their very own God!

"Crest he said he is the one to bring about the end! Do you think that because Teressa's Creed destroyed everything before a 'True End' could happen it caused him to awaken earlier than he was meant to?"

Looking at this True God everyone believes this is the case, even I had already come to think of this outcome. He was born to bring an end to everything but if everything is already gone what would he do then? So he woke up to fix that which he deems to be a problem in the natural flow of things thatwere to happen, that still does not explain how I can not sense any power from him. Looking at him it feels as if he is empty, the dead Creed that fail to even get close to him tell a different story. Thinking back I remember the time I poured all of my power even some of my life essence into him, at that time to prevent me from dying and attempting the same thing again did he not change the energy he absorbed to something foreign to even me.

Telling the True Gods we agree that Dashnell's power is a new energy that he found either in the Void or created himself, both cause us to look at him like the monster he is. No one has ever created a moving Domain let alone two, along with his ability to travel such a vast distance in a few unhurried steps while dragging us along. The most terrifying part is that we are unable to agree on how the Void simply vanished when his body became physical, inside him it has to be inside him. What would allow him to carry the entire vast forever expanding Void into himself.

...

"Leave from here True God! Do not make an enemy out of us, we only wish to kill these Guardians and take our Creator away so she never stops creating our kind!"

"I fail to see why this has anything to do with me. I am here to kill everyone of you along with your 'God'!" Said Dashnell as he looks over at the half dead red eyed Dragon Guardian wrapping itself around Teressa. Before he could take another step in the direction of Teressa the Creed that spoke before rushes at him, the strange thing that shocked us was not that it died but that another Creed was the cause of its death.

"Don't attack that True God his Domain nullifies the abilities of any who enter you would be rushing to your deaths. Throw everything you have at him at a distance we will fight the Guardians after we kill him, remember avoid his entering his Domain!"

After making this speech looking down at the battle we are not given the time to take in the ability Dashnell's Domain possesses, before another shock arrives as that Creed against his own advice rushes at Dashnell.

As the two clash Dashnell is sent flying before halting himself with the black blade, looking at the Creed that sent him flying we see he also has a Domain one that we all are very familiar with.

"Yes, you are correct I posses Teressa's Domain of Absolute life, so 'monster' what will you do now! I feel that you are something more than just a True God so before you can even use your true power I need you to die for me!" After saying so he once more rushes at Dashnell, now with his Domain covering the inner area of the nest we panic not wanting to have Dashnell die here we all move to aid him.

As we rush to his aid so do Teressa's Guardians, before we could get close the Creed surround and block our path.

"Kill them we can not let Dashnell die if they gain his abilities nothing we do will remedy the catastrophe that will follow!"

Once more we fight against the Creed putting it all on the line, I will not lose my master if someone is to die this day it shall be me! Rushing past the Creed enduring every injury they cause I break through to arrive before him, his entire being covered in his own blood. I can see he did not expect things to go the way they have against this Creed, as his blood drips down his mouth I come to find an eerie smile across his face. How could I not know what that means as a fragment of himI know he is excited beyond belief at the opponent before him, but from his wounds I know he is on the verge of dying. If they clash again he will lose his life.

Looking at the Creed rush at us I use every ounce of my power before rushing ahead to receive the attack in his stead, with my trusted weapon the double sided curved blade.

.....

I remember this scene I played it again and again trying to find a way to prevent her death but I could only watch as she threw her life away right in front of me. This is my regret and the reason for my undying hatred and rage, I the most powerful thing in existence could not even save his own Guardian because I woke up to 'early' what kind of shit is that. To save her even if it cost my very life I activated the power of my eyes knowing the possibility of forever losing most of my other abilities if I overexert myself, with a wide smile blood pours down from my eyes that shine a bright emerald green.

As space around me begins to collapse the Creed, Teressa's Guardians and the remaining True Gods retreat from the roar of madness that erupts from me, to bring about the end before the right time what effects will this cause are not things I have on my mind. It is the fact that a few survived, my Domain has wiped out all life but that of the Red eyed Guardian and Teressa who are both within her shattered and broken Domain.

The only things not affected and remain in the pitch black space that is the Void are those who failedto be erased from my attack, Teressa's red eyed Guardian how has her entire hand inside the Creed who possesses the Domain Absolute Life. So Absolute Destruction failed to kill Teressa and those within the Domain of life, such shit is this the one who is to recreate existence after I destroy it!?

Shocked by this revelation I make my way towards the dying Guardian the dead Creed and Teressa.
