“The universe is a fragile place, its parts constantly shift and turn like cogs in one immense, and perfect machine. But if only one piece were to fall from its place, the consequences would be far greater than any could imagine….”
Somewhere at the edge of the universe, a grand citadel rises from nothing, and upon its highest peak sits the god of order whose throne is surrounded by 7 pillars, all of them have colored rings that adorn their tops. Presently only one of these pillars is occupied…..
“Do you feel that Razeus? That is not something that I have ever felt before, but it’s something powerful, more powerful than almost any other being in the universe. It’s a presence filled with anarchy, chaos, and deathless hate…it’s very existence puts me at unease” said the first guardian, a hooded monolithic giant dressed in robes of flawless white and blue with eyes that shone like azure stars.
Razeus seemed to be in the middle of some deep slumber but he was never truly asleep, in fact he could see more than most from his seat of power even with all eyes closed. But both sun-like eyes opened when he heard the exclamations of his offspring, for he too felt the presence of something that opposed every fiber of it’s being…and he recognized it like some misbegotten twin….
“Hmmm…I hoped this for this day to never come again, even if it was inevitable” The god of order spoke through the very universe itself as his voice seemed to come from everywhere at once. Razeus then arose from his throne and the whole of creation seemed to buckle under his sheer power and might. The deity than stepped out into the void as platforms of white light formed beneath his feat, he than spoke again “The ultimate force of chaos in the universe has finally taken shape once again…and its name is Kain, my greatest foe and the bane of creation”.
The Blue guardian had many questions for his father but he knew his time was limited, “Does that mean that he is as powerful as you my lord?” the guardian asked in a decidedly worried tone. “Yes, possibly even stronger. But the only thing that matters is that we prepare for his arrival.” Razeus said, never losing his calm demeanor. “I also have no doubt that your siblings have felt his presence as well, so that gives us precious time.” Razeus than looked at his loyal servant and his gaze was met with nothing but absolute resolve. “Zahrus, you must tell Furiese to prepare the armies for war, and Mercuria to send out the emissaries so that I may commune with the other deities, for they have most likely felt Kains presence as well”.
Zahrus simply bowed his head and said “We will be ready to fight any enemy my lord” and with that the blue guardian disappeared in a flash of light. Razeus now alone, was for the first time in many millenia uncertain about the future, and as he looked upon the universe he could only think “I wonder how many worlds will succumb to his wrath this time, and who will join me and oppose him….”

Qan’cath looked to the skies from deep within her Eternal Archives, she felt it and she knew what was happening, or rather she had known it would happen. Knowledge was her domain past present and future little could be hidden from her if her might was applied and thus she knew all the prophesies of doom in all the worlds and had long ago started preparing for the day. Still she was not ready she had not gathered all the knowledge in the universe and saved it. She would need time to fulfill her plan, though that might not be time she had. She could feel the dramatic rebirth of Kain and knew that the chaotic entity was foolish, just as she saw the order god was flawed; yes she saw things others didn’t and she knew though simple reasoning what could happen.
Qan’cath descended deep into her archives past the seemingly limitless rows of books, tablets, stones, and scrolls and into restricted depths. She rarely limited what could be found here even what was called dark or forbidden in other places was found with ease here. Still there were things she knew to be too dangerous for even the most pure of heart, though that phrase didn’t really apply but the most well intentioned person with some of the knowledge she locked away could do harm unlike any other. Still she traveled down the other records were dangerous yes and might cause harm but even they were not truly forbidden she allowed a few select individuals who had brought her proper gifts to look though those restricted areas, but where she went none but her servant made to work the archives went, no being no matter how much they pleased her was allowed into the forbidden depths that made up the secret core of the world.
Here was where she kept the most dangerous of knowledge written in a language she had made just so only she could read these records, here were the answers to the greatest questions ever asked, here was the secrets of the birth and nature of gods, here was the answers to the exact rules to how the universe functions, and here was how to change or destroy all that. This was also where she kept her book, the Index a book with every record in the entire archive inside it, the index was the archive and the archive was it, though the destruction of one did not mean the destruction of the other, something of a failsafe in case something happened. Still she had other precautions the Index was written in a third script made just for it in all the universe only the index contained the living moving script that while similar to the first two was completely different as well.
Taking the Index in hand she accented though the levels leaving behind the army of servants that stood an eternal vigil over this forbidden knowledge of the very fabric of all things mortal and divine and went up into the public levels of the archive. Many might think that when they heard she hoarded knowledge in her archive that qan’cath would never allow any in, but instead she let all in, or at least those that could pay a fee of something new to be added, or if they worked here, something most of the planet did, they got in free she was nothing if not giving with what she learned. Still she only let people copy what they wanted never allowing the records of the archive to leave only copies of its contents.
Qan’cath moved though the archives not really interacting with the patrons, though most were absorbed in the knowledge they sought some even spending so much time they died in the archives having forgotten to eat, though that had been fixed when she had started building the indoor parks and gardens and bothered to include food courts, which served every kind of food known in the universe. She needed to be somewhere right now and that was in one of the observatories. While the world’s sun was still out which would normally stop such star gazing these were made from knowledge from civilizations that had advanced beyond such problems and as such they could be used no matter the time of day. She would search the skies for a scar, and infection, a wound where the foolish god of destruction had come into it and then she would find out how much time she had before she had to take action

Ah'zuul was bored, very bored, so bored in fact that he had fallen asleep, a destroyer god often does that when they have not destroyed something for an extended period of time.
But then he felt something, something he had not felt in an age, it was a presence of immense power that on some levels radiated with an energy almost identical to his own whilst other parts seemed unfathomable. Ah'zuul awakened in his grand room, surrounded by a nearly perfect model of the universe, with planets that were off limits to him marked in red. "Do you feel that Archibald? That incredible power, filled with limitless possibilities and terrible strength?" the god of destruction spoke out loud to his loyal(and only) servant, a stout and dwarf-like specter who possessed pale robes that hid his face and body. "Yes sir I feel it as well" the dwarf said in a concise and monotone manner.
"Well, that kind of power is possessed by only 1 being in creation" said Ah'zuul as he rose from his obsidian throne "That's Kain....hmmm, I was wondering when he would return to the universe though I can imagine that many did not want him too" Ah'zuul looked upon his map of creation and could already see worlds vanishing from the universe, taking billions of mortal lives with them. "I have no doubt that many spineless gods have already flocked to his banner" said Ah"zuul with a slight hint of disgust in his voice. Archibald than spoke to his master "But what will we do my lord, I know you have no love for Kain but you aren't exactly fond of Razeus either....". "Archibald we will simply go on until we are forced to deal with it, as with every issue we face, but I can assure you....I bow to no one...." And with that Ah'zuul took a seat upon his throne and calmly watched the present universe, for he knew that it was going to change a lot soon and he wanted relish it as it was before it all went to hell.....

Lord Anubis
A coin that landed on its edge.
[Necropolis, Capital of the underworld]
Xenon sat upon his throne of bones blackened to a dark ash color. Nether energy radiated in tendrils of darkness from his throne. Bright green lights shined upon a black marbled room with people wide strips of white marble crossing his throne room. In the center of a massive spherical room that was his seat of power scuttled about many undead servants each assigned their roles. Large terminals displayed various information ranging from troop deployments to statues of resource production. Xenon in his normal form a 6 ft. 5 in. stature Gazed forward at a hologram of the Know universe.
Armored hands pinged against the bone arm rest, as he observed the appearance of a being he had long since wished, had stayed away. Kain the god of Chaos had returned, and he watched as world began to fade from the universe. What Turned his frustration at Kains return into joy, was one simple fact. All the death Kain created only served to strengthen Xenons domain. He could already feel the souls flowing from the living realm into the underworld residing within the nether realm the place all souls go after death. He smiled as his face faintly became transparent showing his true skeletal form underneath. He turned his head towards one of the generals within his undead army " Impirius Take the reapers to this world here...it is time to expand my domain death shall fall upon the mortal worlds, and reign over existence for Nothing Can Stop Death!" He said in a powerful voice, that boomed within the capital. The undead warriors raised their spears, as they praised their god. His finger pointed to a small pulsing blue dot on the universal map.
[Mortis World of the Dead]
Inside a massive black metallic structure a Giant gateway came to life, as bright green energy filled the circular device. Through it came Impirius a 6 ft. tall being clad in black Armour, and held no physical form from what could be seen(which is nothing really only bright purple eyes where the eye sockets are in his helm). He spoke in the ancient language of Latin language of the dead. He ordered the four soldiers that came with him to assemble the troops while he made way to the orbital ship yard. There he would Board the capital ship Tiranius to take command of the main fleet residing there composing of two death dealers ships designed to convert a planet into a world radiating with death energy. Four Ravengers battle ships designed to siege a world from above or attack enemy fleets. Along with three carrier ships to transport thousands of troops, and four Decayers light cruisers, that support the fleet and enter atmosphere to defend key positions or provide assistance with enemy ships in atmosphere. A massive Gate way resided in orbit around Mortis that transported vessels across Universe to designated places within minutes. The ships departed Dry dock heading towards the Gateways known as Deaths gate.
The flag ship Tiranius Broadcast a transmission to the main fleet ships. Impirius appeared on their screens" Reapers of the Necronian Empire You will be claiming a new world in the name of Xenon lord of death Show no mercy harvest every soul for your GOD!" He yelled at the end before cutting off the video broadcast. Impirius sat within the commanders chair looking to a undead navigator" Begin jump sequence." he said the undead navigator nodded its head turning towards a screen tapping away. From outside their massive ship almost the size of a small moon began to glow a bright purple. Within seconds a large portal opened up before them, as they entered into the nether. It closed behind them, as they sped away towards the designated world.
[invaded world designation Barilia]
After some time a rift opened in orbit around a lush green world with two massive oceans on either side of a single massive land mass. The capital ship Tiranius held position, while the back of the ship began to open. From within this compartment floated out a single spire like object. It drifted away while the compartment closed behind it. The its true purpose came to light, as it sped away a good distance before deploying. It began to extend into two directions from the spire, then began to form a large circular shape. Within minutes the object had deployed revealing what it was. It was a Deaths gate deploy able only by capital ships and higher. Impirius smiled underneath his helm" Bring the gate online...our soldiers are dying for a feast." he said, as another undead officer tapped away on a console. The gateway began to power up before filling with the same bright green energy. The gateway formed held stable by the device. Ships began to come through, and within the coming moments the invasion would begin. On the planet was a somewhat advanced race who had detected a unknown alien race in their space. Several ships from the planet where making way to space to defend their world.

Somethings wrong, Geir could see it. There has been a shift in power and the fragile balance in the verse he's been ceaselessly maintaining is all but gone. Some form of chaos has been added to the equation that he cannot identify and compensate for. Pacing back and forth in his grand observatory as servants went about their duties Geir watched as everything fell apart.
"what are you?" he asked more to himself than to anyone in particular. Something about it seemed familiar but he just couldn't place what. stopping to watch the mental picture of "The Balance" in his head. He saw what acted like gravitational waves punch through a thin sheet of white only to leave large spot of darkness. The way it moved and how it disrupted the light, Hes seen it before but every time he tries to remember, it slips past him. Turning to the center of the room, Geir watched as planet after planet winked out. "I will find you, and i will correct you" He whispered. "But first, I need answers." Turning towards the exit, Geir left the observatory in a brisk manner. " Ready me a ship, I leave immediately."

Obi-Wan Kenobi
A Bold One
Oaris was sat in the grand Throne of Ancients, reading a tome on the workings of Fate and how to manipulate it. Particularly, it was all about divining what the strands of fate entail. One of his spells had detected a bright, yet dark presence coming from this one particular day. The webs of Fate were woven tightly around this day as well. Despite all of Oaris' magics, he could not determine what this meant. Every time he tried to understand it, he came to an entirely different conclusion. He needed to discover its purpose soon, as the day was nearly upon him.
Several hours later, the new day arrived and Oaris was no closer to understanding. He mentally summoned another book to him, but didn't even get the chance to open it as the strands of Fate burst wide open, revealing the true nature of this day. His head was wracked in pain as the finely tuned link to the Fate of this day in an attempt to understand tore itself apart. Kain had returned. He'd hoped that Kain would never come back after last time. He was sure Qan'cath had felt it too. He'd considered asking her if she knew what would happen, but some simple Precognition determined that she would refuse.
Oaris pushed himself slowly out of the chair, telekinetically bringing his staff to his hand. Preparations were needed for a visit to Qan'cath to consult and hold a council to determine their actions. Magic and Knowledge were so tightly linked that it was only natural that Oaris and Qan'cath were friends. He could certainly have simply forged a telepathic link to use, or even used a highly advanced Future-telling spell to see the entire conversation before it happened; Qan'cath preferred a face-to-face conversation though. Most Gods did. It tended to put them off when he knew what they were going to say and do before they did.
Oaris wasn't expecting anything other than a peaceful meeting to take place. As such, he didn't take any magical artifacts, as they were only needed when he needed more power. For now, though, he sent a cosmic message to Qan'cath to expect him, then raised his staff slowly and carefully, then striking the smooth, eternally shiny tiles to move himself to The Eternal Archives, or at least one of the entrances. Around him, dust slowly settled back to its original space after being knocked up by the wind of his spell. In kind, a passing Musceshan Dove had its flight interrupted, plummeting down to the ground. Moving quickly, Oaris created a tiny gust of wind to soften its landing to a precise landing without moving a muscle, then began walking in past the Watcher keeping an eye on the door. As he passed, Oaris nodded almost imperceptibly to it. Qan'cath was many kilometres away and it would take Oaris too much time to walk there. Time was of the essence at these moments. The strands of Fate were regathering around the new nexus in time, and any small action could vastly reshape where they were going. Oaris shunted his body into the Traveler Realm as he walked. Distances here were much shorter than normal, and one could walk a planet in a matter of hours. Oaris rose above the common level, above the advanced level, and even above the archmage level. Kolbin waved to him as he rose, clearly also on Musceshan and in the libraries. Kolbin was Oaris' favoured student, and he was taught more magic than he taught Qan'cath. He was abandoned in a remote location as a newborn. Oaris discovered him, and he was overflowing with magical energy and potential. As such, Oaris took him in and taught him in the ways of magic. That was seven thousand years ago. Today, he maintained his life with magic, and was the most powerful magician that had ever existed besides Oaris himself. Even more powerful than Qan'cath. The reason Oaris hadn't taught her more magic was because she had a need to share it with others. This was something he disapproved of, as he understood better than anyone that magic was not a thing to be simply handed out. It was a powerful, mystical, and mysterious thing that should be wielded only by those who truly can. Oaris smiled back at Kolbin. He ascended to the level only he could use, where The Eternal Archives were a second to traverse entirely.
Within less than a second here he was within a kilometre of where he wanted to be, so he pushed himself back into the Material Plane. He didn't want to startle her, although he really doubted it was possible for ANYONE to get the drop on a God of Knowledge. Even still, he thought it polite not to simply appear next to someone he wanted to talk to. Instead he resumed his walk, the gnarled staff in his hands clicking dully against the polished floors. Others wondered why he preferred this form when he could assume any. This was also true of his staff. Again, he was sure Qan'cath knew this as well. He rounded a corner, probing the area with a wide area scrying spell. He saw a figure here and there browsing the vast libraries. He saw a Cataloguer reaching for a shelf three hundred metres up to retrieve a tome the size of a human male. He saw a Watcher around another corner, keeping an eye on a woman with a large bag and a notebook which she was scribbling quickly on. Most powerful of all, however, was the presence of Qan'cath walking the halls with a purpose. She was carrying the Index with her. He divined her path, determining that she was heading towards an observatory which was nearby. By now, he was sure that she knew of his presence, especially as there was a Watcher looking directly at him. He realised that he was being very hasty for his usual self, but Kain's return called for swift action, even if it was only a meeting with a friend. He needed to confer with her to determine their courses of action, and whether they were going to join Razeus, Kain, or neither. He walked slowly in her direction, though she was still some distance away.
Several hours later, the new day arrived and Oaris was no closer to understanding. He mentally summoned another book to him, but didn't even get the chance to open it as the strands of Fate burst wide open, revealing the true nature of this day.

Moving quickly, Oaris created a tiny gust of wind to soften its landing to a precise landing without moving a muscle, then began walking in past the Watcher keeping an eye on the door. As he passed, Oaris nodded almost imperceptibly to it. Qan'cath was many kilometres away and it would take Oaris too much time to walk there. Time was of the essence at these moments. The strands of Fate were regathering around the new nexus in time, and any small action could vastly reshape where they were going. Oaris shunted his body into the Traveler Realm as he walked. Distances here were much shorter than normal, and one could walk a planet in a matter of hours. Oaris rose above the common level, above the advanced level, and even above the archmage level. Kolbin waved to him as he rose, clearly also on Musceshan and in the libraries. Kolbin was Oaris' favoured student, and he was taught more magic than he taught Qan'cath. He was abandoned in a remote location as a newborn. Oaris discovered him, and he was overflowing with magical energy and potential. As such, Oaris took him in and taught him in the ways of magic. That was seven thousand years ago. Today, he maintained his life with magic, and was the most powerful magician that had ever existed besides Oaris himself. Even more powerful than Qan'cath. The reason Oaris hadn't taught her more magic was because she had a need to share it with others. This was something he disapproved of, as he understood better than anyone that magic was not a thing to be simply handed out. It was a powerful, mystical, and mysterious thing that should be wielded only by those who truly can. Oaris smiled back at Kolbin. He ascended to the level only he could use, where The Eternal Archives were a second to traverse entirely.
Within less than a second here he was within a kilometre of where he wanted to be, so he pushed himself back into the Material Plane. He didn't want to startle her, although he really doubted it was possible for ANYONE to get the drop on a God of Knowledge. Even still, he thought it polite not to simply appear next to someone he wanted to talk to. Instead he resumed his walk, the gnarled staff in his hands clicking dully against the polished floors. Others wondered why he preferred this form when he could assume any. This was also true of his staff. Again, he was sure Qan'cath knew this as well. He rounded a corner, probing the area with a wide area scrying spell. He saw a figure here and there browsing the vast libraries. He saw a Cataloguer reaching for a shelf three hundred metres up to retrieve a tome the size of a human male. He saw a Watcher around another corner, keeping an eye on a woman with a large bag and a notebook which she was scribbling quickly on. Most powerful of all, however, was the presence of Qan'cath walking the halls with a purpose. She was carrying the Index with her. He divined her path, determining that she was heading towards an observatory which was nearby. By now, he was sure that she knew of his presence, especially as there was a Watcher looking directly at him. He realised that he was being very hasty for his usual self, but Kain's return called for swift action, even if it was only a meeting with a friend. He needed to confer with her to determine their courses of action, and whether they were going to join Razeus, Kain, or neither. He walked slowly in her direction, though she was still some distance away.

The Mechanical Creator, a massive robotic machine, was preparing for war with the dwarves upon his planet. thousands of robots were being made, many to be combined together. The Mechanical Creator could not speak. Perhaps when robotics advance greatly, but not yet. The Creator was a massive behemoth, a thousand of his robots high and ten times as strong as his Goliaths, which were huge, rumbling beasts with a clamp arm and a buzz saw. The Mechanical creator appointed these great beasts as his bodyguard to warn him when someone was to arrive.
The Mechanical creator finished up his final little mechanical beast; he had made a massive army of little warrior robots. The Mechanical Creator suddenly felt a great evil presence and let out a long, sad note. The Destructor had arrived. He had heard tales of the great evil from dwarves in their mines. They had told him as a being three thousand times the size of their small sun and powerful enough to destroy entire galaxies, though he suspected they were embellishing, it was still terrifying. The Creator did not want to get involved in this war; He was an extremely young god, who had very little powers and even less knowledge of the universe besides his own little home.

Qan'cath was not only observing the skies but also she had started running simulations. She had the entire universe molded before here a glowing shape with no real definition and she watched as slowly the universe was eaten away at by darkness. This was not good, she started the simulation again and this time it was eaten away at from a different direction. She ran it over and over and each time she got a different result.
That was not a good thing, she did notice the presence of Oaris the second he was in her archives, she had expected him coming, they were close after all and she did know some things about divination and where the gods were, it was her sphere after all. Still there had been a chance he wouldn't come as the simulation where not just computers and data they worked on arcane divination as well making every simulation accurate. That was what was troubling about the array of different simulations they were all the same data and should come out the same, but they weren't the god of chaos was already making changes just by existing.
She started up new simulations this time instead of the results of the coming conflict she chose to figure out who would ally with who, this included who the neutrals would one day be forced to ally with as in this conflict there was no third side. It moved though different gods changing sides and once again each simulation had very different results there is even one where she joined chaos, something she didn't want to do but apparently she could. This was troubling there was always a minor amount of difference and variation in divination but this was wrong the results should not vary this much , it seemed that the maybe had been introduced to the is and is not behind the world.

"I hate to question your decision making lord but maybe just sitting here and waiting for something to happen is not the best course of action"
Said Archibald, the dwarfs tone was lifeless and cold which seemed to suit his personality nicely as real passion seemed to be a foreign concept to him though Ah'zuul made up for his lack of enthusiasm in spades. Archibald than went on "Maybe it would be best to seek conference with some of the other gods and see their plans of action, maybe you can even help form an alliance so that you won't have to chose a side".
The god of destruction rotated his chair fully in order to face his stout servant and give him a proper response. "Ahhhhh, now there is an idea Archibald, marching into glorious battle against the god of chaos, who I may remind you is possibly the 2nd or even 1st most powerful being in existence, only for most of us to be spectacularly butchered, with those at the back possibly surviving depending on how fast they can run away". Ah'zuul than rose from his seat and swiftly glided across the massive room to Archinbald whom he bent over so he could look his loyal follower in the eye only to slowly say "No thank you". As Ah'zuul began to float back towards his blackened throne Archibald decided to speak up again "But how is doing nothing any different than simply submitting to Kain....or Razeus". Ah'zuul stopped in his tracks and turned his head back towards Archibald "Actually, to be honest Archibald you have given me an idea....perhaps I should seek conference with Qan'cath- heavens knows she's probably outlined this whole thing before it's even started and her knowledge could prove valuable to me". Ah'zuul than levitated over to the large open balcony which lie past his throne and observatory, from here he could observe his home planet of Mordeus as well as his own scenic and colorful corner of the universe. Mordeus itself had long ago been scoured of all life as Ah'zuuls extended presence on the planet had caused an apocalyptic reaction that had slowly caused the planet to destabilize and fall apart, in fact the only thing holding the entire planet together was the destroyer gods gargantuan tower. "It is settled, Archibald we will make way for Mues- Mushca- Mesech- Qan'caths planet with all haste, but I swear if I see one of her creepy house pets they're getting vaporized".

Sonata was gently resting in her night room, calmly looking at the night sky of one of the many worlds, now entering the calm of night. She had spent the last few hours in this room, bored and tired. She could almost sleep but she was too intrigued by the many worlds that shone as stars in this sky. As she resettled her head on one of the blankets, she noticed something that was strange and dangerous. The stars were disappearing, one by one. Soon the sky almost appeared like a black empty void until the sky changed to a different world. Sonata know all too well that darkness falling on multiple world's was bad, for without a day, there would be no such thing as night. Sonata needed answers as her very existence wad now at stake. She stood up grabbing her cloak and left towards the entrance, hoping that some part of the goddess of knowledge library was covered in shadow.
As she past, one of the few priests that roamed and loved in her temple stopped her. His black robes quivered with excitement, or was it fear. He appeared to be one of the older priests as his hands were wrinkled and dry. "Mistress, the stars are disappearing, they are disappearing!" It was clear that this priest was star gazing as well but she still hated the fact he was telling her what she already knew. She smiled and nodded as she continued on, fastening her cloak as she walked along at a brisk pace.
She passed by the many rooms of stories told, one containing a man strangling another man which was most probably a secret told by a father, another with a mother and a newborn baby, a story told by the many people who knew them and a last one with a unicorn, a wish of a young girl, maybe a boy. The rooms of her temple were still working but if the darkness claimed everything, these people would most probably stop talking to the night.
She arrived at the portal, stopping just before she entered. She knew that the goddess of knowledge had ties to the god of magic so he would probably be allowed in but she didn't know if she would be allowed in. Being scared and cautious she wrapped herself in night, making anyone who saw her think it just got incredibly dark, even with magical sight. Though if people were smart enough they would question why it got so dark all of a sudden. With that, Sonata took a step through the portal, arriving immediately in a very dark part of the library homeworld, well to everyone else. "Anyone home?" She muttered to herself as she made her way through the aisle of books. The night will end when she reaches the day part of the library but bother, she won't need to hide.

A coin that landed on its edge.
[invaded world]
The invasion was running smoothly any vessel that attempted to flee or fight was struck down, by the Nether energy weapons of Deaths army. The world was slowly converting into a dead world radiating with nether energy. As the green beams struck the planet a circular spreading of the nether energy was spread onto the planet. Souls were harvested by collectors airship sized vehicles, that absorbed the souls of the dead before they entered the nether realm.
[Necropolis underworld capital]
Xenon gazed upon the doomed planet smiling with joy of the sight. Then from across the room a set of massive double doors opened another general made heist towards Xenon. She bowed before Him placing her arm across her chest bowing her head while on her knees. She spoke with authority" My Lord the troops are assembled and the ships are ready." She said a hint of excitement towards the end. Death smiled his eyes glowed he spoke with a dark joy" Excellent Gehenna very good news indeed. Make your way to your legion the armies of death shall be set free upon the universe, and decay shall spread like fire." He said Gehenna stood up smiling before pressing her arm across her chest again her fist over her Vamperic heart. She turned on her heels making heist to her legion. Xenon's form shimmered till it dissipated into nothingness. he appeared above Necropolis In his true form a massive figure He radiated death dark energy flowed around him his eye sockets glowed a bright green. His wings extended fully in either direction, as he held out his skeletal hands. They began to glow with purple light from nether flames. He smiled in a sense before his power was unleashed. Beams of purple energy shot out in all directions to staging areas where his armies were present within the underworld. Portals swirled and expanded into massive gateways connecting themselves to approximately several hundred worlds within a designated galaxy. The power boost from Kains devastation allowed for him to open so many gateways. His armies began to poor through ships exited first into the surrounding space of these worlds, while several legions of troops exited portals on the surface. Within moments he could feel the hundreds, then thousands die within the galaxy. He began to laugh a dark most sinister laugh. Finally after eons of waiting death would begin his move to become the most powerful being within the universe, and all will truly know the power death held within the universe.

Qan'cath knew those that would visit before they even thought of coming their arrival had long ago been calculated before the maybe had been introduced and confirmed using powerful divinations that had focused on short term visions rather than a long term vision. It also seemed the god of death the fool that he was taking this time to once again try to become supreme truly he did not have the knowledge of his own spheres. Death it seemed would have to die, well not death but simply a lord of it, though few other gods had this understanding even if he was gone death would exist. She could write him off as idiotically siding with chaos as he would simply see it as a chance to cause death . This furthered her conviction that the plan she had thought up eons ago was the correct path. As for her current visitors she had servants stationed in their paths ready to met them and tell them exactly where to meet her. Also for the goddess of night to stop sneaking around like a thief the archive was open to all. She also made sure to have the exact section the little destruction god would arrive in completely clear no servants, no mortals, no records she would not have him mess up her archive just because he had a short temper.

Sonata didn't take long to start to rummaging throughout different books and scrolls that were on each shelf, looking for something on what has happened to the world's she saw disappearing. "Doom, doom, doom, death, death and... Ah, darkness. Hmm. Darkness is caused by the absence of light, blah blah blah. It can also be used to define evil, blah blah blah, oh look, it's me. I was so young back then." She thought to herself as she flicked quickly through the pages of a dark book, with the word, darkness printed on the front and spine.
As she moved to replace the book she heard the sound of one of Qan'cath's servants heading towards her. Slowly she replaced the book and then began sneaking off when the servant simply said this: "Goddess of Night, my mistress has already known that you are here, there is no need to hide as this archive is open to all. Follow me and you can meet the goddess herself. I would advise in doing so if you wish to learn of what is happening." With that, Sonata leaned out from behind one of the bookshelves and removed the night surrounding her. She was very out of touch with the other gods but she knew that the goddess of knowledge rarely tells lies. The servant simply turned around and began walking off, and so Sonata followed, although cautious.
It wasn't that long of a walk from where she had entered but it was clear that it was beginning to become day on this side of the world. She noticed the goddess busy with work so she simply stood off to the side, watching her. It had never interested me but Qan'cath was smoothly working, accessing data and calculating. Sonata soon got bored so she simply began pacing. "Maybe she will notice me sometime soon?"

" The answer to your question is Kain has returned and Xenon has gone on one of his rampages in doubt in a foolish and shortsighted attempt to become supreme" Qan'cath said noticing the goddess but still watching how things could play out and how her plan would work out with the others. She noticed all that came to her .
" I suggest you stay even if you want to leave I will be having other guests and we will need to talk on what is going to be done as some who aren't that bright will be joining kain on his rampage" She continued never looking away from her simulations as there was still many permutations for her to go over though most were rather worrying.
