The battlefield lies silent under a sky choked with ash, the only sound the crackle of dying embers and the ragged breath of a fallen god. Shadows pool around him, seeping from his wounds into the scorched earth. The god of darkness lies crumpled, his crimson eyes half-lidded, blood staining his lips. A figure of pure light approaches, kneeling beside him. He flinches, then forces a weak, crooked smile. "I beat him... the war is over," he rasps, coughing crimson. "But I think... I need you now, you."
