The Sun - Lord of Mysteries (fanfiction)

Chapter 130: Death

10 minutes Earlier, Amantha Mountains, Northern Continent.

Evernight Goddess, they call her. Her origins are unknown, as are her intentions. Her true name was lost in the fables of history, only to be remembered by the godly beings who stand with her above all.

However, no one can deny her power. Her arrival had caused the heavens themselves to tremble. Her action, though rare, shook the illusory river of fate, sending impacting waves that alerted fates in untold numbers everytime.

She rules the night. She is mankind's first darkness. She is also moonrise and midnight. She is a primal being, more eternal than eternity itself.

The darkness, on the other hand, was never without its own untold secrets. A terrifying legend, fabled from the truth, told of a woman who was strikingly similar to the night, walking out of the mountains of corpses holding a dark styx drenched in the blood of her own kinsman, her lips adorning a gentle smile throughout the act. It was as though she was carrying out an act of kindness rather than vengeance.

The woman went on to be known as the Bane of Demonic Wolves, the True Empress of Horror who conquered the Darkness as her own Crown.

The night goes by many titles and names, but at the end of times, she will always remain as a survivor from the forgotten times.

For, she was Amanises, the Ruler of Tenebrous Heaven; the obscure realm of Eternal Darkness.

Her realm was always shrouded in darkness, hidden from all eyes, mortal or divine. It was the final resting place for all who believed in her, where they found eternal peace in her arms.

It had always been perpetually dark since its creation, as the sun had never graced the dark lands of Tenebrous Heaven.

But, the eternal night has come to an end, as the 'Concealment' of kingdom was torn by the mighty hands of a god.

A white sun invaded and emerged from the dark horizon, signifying the wrath of the Eternal Blazing Sun.

The white sun emitted blinding beams of light that smote down on the darkness, shattering it in the most viscous way. The divine kingdom was filled with brilliant light, collapsing and purging it all in an ocean of light.

The entire tenebrous heaven began to crumble into void under the assault of the sun.

The dark mountains, palaces, and even the crimson moon began collapsing in order with the crumbling divine kingdom. It was all coming to an end under the wrath of the Eternal sun.

But just then, Amanises emerged from the ruins of the dark caste, unaffected by the beams of light. She looked indifferently at the rising Eternal Sun and the chaos it had wrought in her kingdom in a fraction of a second.

She then waved her hand. A flood of darkness erupted from her. It was akin to a dark beast of judgement, reaching the bright sky and swallowing the Eternal Sun, extinguishing every ounce of light within the crumbling divine kingdom.

Amanises then swept her gaze over the ruins, causing it all to fade into eternal darkness, leaving only her floating in the eternal void.

She raised her hand and reached into the dark ocean above her to retrieve her night scythe.

Her form transformed with a shimmer. Her torso and waist grew a pair of massive arms covered in dark hair.

A crimson moon and an invisible fog also descended into her massive arms from the void.

She held it all together, gazing ahead into the darkness, piercing into the outside world, to the Eternal Sun in the sky.

"Aucuses.." She spoke, her voice low, almost a whisper. The darkness grew thicker around her, surging and thrashing against itself in a frantic manner.

Present.

The sun and moon rose from the horizons, heading for each other with all their might, sounding the symphony of calamity across the sky and earth.

The gods, who had been focusing their gazes on the battle in Callide Valley, were taken aback by the sudden celestial phenomenon.

The war came to a halt as the beyonders gazed at the sun and moon in the sky, their eyes gradually filling with hopelessness and despair.

It was a cataclysmic sight. The sun's scorching rays and the crimson moon's ethereal light were unleashed on the world with no restraint. It was charging towards them with the intent of wreaking total carnage.

Regardless of their sequences, they felt so insignificant in the face of the coming cataclysmic force. Many dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground, laughing and crying as they spread their arms at the sun and moon veils.

Lucas, Blaise, Laius, and Madilyn stood together in the ruined ground, their armour tattered and their swords rusted.

"What just happened...?" Laius wondered aloud, his face illuminated by the sun.

"Something terrible for sure..." Lucas replied, his voice low and his gaze fixed on the crimson moon.

"The sun..." Madilyn asked, her voice quivering. Laius turned to face the white sun with her. The scorching rays of the sun were like veils covering the sky and descending on them. They were too small, almost a speck of dust in comparison to the size of veil.

"The sun never harms his own..." Blaise reassured them. They looked at the sky, as the sun and moon were closing in on each other ever so close.

In the sky, Eternal Blazing Sun and Evernight Goddess charged at each other with their fabled sun spear and night scythe.

The sun and moon. The light and the darkness. The day and night. These primordial forces were at odds, bending to the will of their rulers.

Boom!

They finally collided in the sky, causing an illusory light to erupt, illuminating the majority of the world.

The light vanished as quickly as it appeared, with no visible damage anywhere in the world. The sun and moon were still adorning the sky, only inches apart.

It looked as though a mighty force intervened and stopped the collision of the celestial bodies.

In the silver tower, Diana opened her teary eyes, gazing at the situation in the sky.

"Stop this madness!" Earth Mother yelled, standing between Evernight Goddess and Eternal Blazing Sun. Her glowing hands rose up at them, holding them down with the might of the entire earth.

Evernight Goddess finally put her scythe away and floated high in the sky, gazing at the Eternal Blazing Sun.

Eternal Blazing Sun, on the other hand, waved his spear, breaking the earthly authority that had bound him. He then lunged at the Goddess of the Night, his spear aimed at her heart.

Evernight Goddess stood there with her hand folded against her chest, indifferent.

"Stop, Aucuses." Earth Mother embraced the sun god from behind, halting his attack.

Eternal Blazing Sun appeared to have finally calmed down. Even so, he continued to point his spear at the Evernight Goddess.

"I assumed you, for one, would understand the significance of relationships and promises. Yet, how terribly wrong I was," He seethed. "You're just a cold-hearted bitch who cares about nothing but your own pathetic excuse of self!"

Evernight Goddess continued to stare at him indifferently, seemingly unphased by his insults. Earth Mother, on the other hand, looked at her love with wide, sluggish eyes.

"Mark my words, bitch." Eternal Blazing Sun spat. "I'll make sure you feel every ounce of the pain he felt in his final moments. Then I will throw you to Antigonus. I will see to it that he feasts on you to the last of your bits."

He took Earth Mother's hands in his, their figures glinting in the light and fading away from the sky.

Eternal Blazing Sun finally looked Evernight Goddess in the eyes.

"I should never have trusted you." His low voice lingered in the air as he and Earth Mother vanished in a light flash.

For a few moments, Evernight Goddess floated in the air, her indifferent gaze fixed on the fading light. Then she, too, vanished from the sky in a flash of moonlight.

Diana finally averted her gaze from the sky, wiping away her tears.

Edward had died. The blessing he received from the Evernight Goddess was abruptly withdrawn by her, causing his situation to deteriorate beyond any hope of recovery. Her lord was ultimately forced to slay Edward himself, as all hope had been lost.

She moved towards the table at the far end of the room, which held a blue sword.

Diana wielded the handle with great force. Her outfit changed on its own, revealing a black fit armour stained with blood splashes.

Then she dashed towards the tower's exit, her face emotionless, her eyes dull.

Her figure broke into a flurry of information, surging towards Hornacis Mountain like a tsunami, leaving death and destruction in her wake... .
