Cold.

The void is cold…  A forgiving chill that allows one to forget, for eternity, the pain and suffering in the world.  The void is nothingness… 

I sought to end the suffering of mankind. 

By destroying humanity, by bringing people to the void I will end their tormenters.

Pain.

Loss.

Grief.

Hate.

What more could they want?

We were not meant to live here. 

It was our destiny to die on this rock. 

This desolate plain underneath the clear blue sky. 

We were not meant to taste the freedom here. 

Not life, love, happiness…  We were meant for nothingness. 

The assigned end of all "Gods" creatures.

Why does man struggle to survive?

Bearing the chains of hardship and sacrifice to simply continue.

The void is emotionless.

Free of such things.

Free of life.

Free.

I promised to bring the world to the brink. 

I wanted to take people with me to the void.

They would join me on the glorious return to nothing.

But instead I will go alone.

It was my destiny to die at his hand.

My antithesis.

Only he could bring me to the end.

The void.

My home.

I feel the darkness of the void. 

Its familiar chill, coming to stay this time.

Coming for me this time.

Instead of glory though,

Instead of my promised reward,

My triumphant return to nothing,

All I can feel is…

empty
