The End of All Things

"ENOUGH!"

I couldn't move, my palm was still extended, even my magic seemed to freeze. I turned my gaze from my opponent, Zakare; god of lightning, to where the shout originated.

"We are disappointing in the both of you"

Ah, of course. Even gods have gods, and those before us; were are gods. The gods of the beginning and end. They moved to stride around us, looking at each of us in their scrutinizing gaze, as if daring us to deny them. I was unable to find my words, however, Zakare had no such problem.

"Release. Me. He. Needs. To. Die!" He barely stuttered out, before the gods turned on him.

"Zakare, despite our many warnings and commands, you have still disobeyed us, and invaded many realms; none of which were under your sphere of influence."

"Nothing. He. Hasn't. Done. Before." Bad move Zakare... The Beginning went to him and lifted his chin while The End began to walk over to me.

"So now, you feel yourself on our level? You believe YOU know better than we? Pathetic" He said has he walked away. The End continued,

"And You Amiin. Did you think I wouldn't notice? Or did you just believe yourself beyond our reach?"

"I. Was. Merely. Following. Your. Orders!" I got out, how could he say this to me when it was he who ordered me to do this in the first place!

"You misunderstood my command. I demanded you to begin the fourth Cycle, not to end the world. Must I remind you of the task you were given?" I managed to look away, "I thought so"

The Beginning once more took over, "As punishment for both your crimes, you will be banished. Amiin, you will stay in the mortal body you currently posses." I let out a quiet growl, "And Zakare, You will be cut off from your own realm. Do not disappoint us again." They then turned to talk to someone else, nut I couldn't hear as I was being sucked out of this dimension.

"Amiin? Amiin, Get up!" I slowly opened my eyes.

"Where, Where are we?" we were in the space between dimensions, the astral plane. The End had limitless power here, and I had none.

"You know where we are, I am disappointed in you. you were my favorite, and had such promise. But I am not cruel, You will keep the abilities you have now, and you will follow my commands To. The. Letter. Am I understood?" I nodded, "Good. The world you will be sent to goes my the ancient name of Mundus, though they have changed it to Equis for some reason-" I cut him off.

"Why are you telling me this?" He silenced my with a stern glare.

"Because, you will do my bidding there. It is ruled over by two gods, such as yourself, they have taken mortal bodies to live among their populace. Their names are Celestia, and Luna. I am  sending you to their world because they have disobeyed the world of the gods! They have refused to commence the Cycle!" Still confused, I cut in again.

"Why do I need to know this?"

"You, as the god of death, are responsible for ensuring the Cycle happens. Their denial is not your fault, but for you to redeem yourself-"

"I have to kill everything, I got it." He looked mad.

"I'm telling you this because you DON'T get it. You THINK you got it which isn't the same as actually getting it. Got it? The purpose of the Cycle is to ferry the inhabitants of the world into the next, AND to guide the new inhabitants into the world." I was silent again. "There is one more thing, I cannot tell how they will react to your presence. When you begin the Cycle, do so carefully and quietly, or you might die. Ironic, isn't it?" I grunted. "And before I forget, I must remind you; There is only one way to enter a new dimension for someone with a mortal body."

Wait, WHAT! before I could say anything, everything turned white, then faded to blackness.

To oblivion with the consequences, next time I see him, He is dead!
