The view cuts to a scene taking place in yet another universe, in a planet that is arguably Earth but may be called differently by its inhabitants. Zooming into the planet's surface, we, the viewers, see what kind of civilization exists there: one of fantasy. Scanning over this world of fantastical setting as if we are looking in the eyes of a powerful avian, each imaginary wing beat the force of a tsunami, we see many a settlements in ruins, creatures of darkness, corrupted and natural alike, sprawl all over the earth like the plague of the land they are, and a tower of obsidian juts out of the earth, presumably the source of this disease.
Moments later, we all lay witness to a story of hope and miracle as four young adventurers march towards the heart of this madness. We all follow these four as they trudge on through moments of hardship, revel in chances of celebration, and appreciate the times of camaraderie. In their wake lay cleansed lands and recovering civilizations, a sign of success in their task. It takes not a long period of time for the party to reach their destination. Besting each and every challenge inside, the group finally reach the one that oversaw the corruption in its beginning, the one who is responsible for it in the first place, the ancient evil released from its prison through the actions of a foolish one, the one that holds many a tortured souls within its own body purely for the pleasure, the designated bad guy of the story. Both the group of heroes engage the adversary in front of them in one last combat.
Though the battle proves to be grueling, the heroes stand near-triumphant over their opponent, whom has been reduced from the being feared by all in the land into the blubbering mess kneeling, begging for its life to be spared, "promising" to be good. It begging for its life is genuine, but the promise is not, and the heroes do not fall for this attempt at trickery, no. Instead, a plucky young boy, whom the viewers have known to be the protagonist of this story, raises his sword high in the air. The sword, in response, glows a blindingly golden glow. Those who did follow through the story know one thing of this sword: it has been enchanted not to imprison the ancient evil as have the previous group of heroes did. What a mistake that turned out to be. No, this sword is enchanted to vanquish the ancient evil once and for all. The evil, knowing of what this will mean to it, makes one last attempt at preserving its own life; it opens a portal that leads to lands not known by neither heroes nor itself and enters it, but not before being pursued by a ray of golden light coming from the sword. Both the evil and the ray enter the portal, the latter being cut off from its source after the portal closes.
The portal does close, and the heroes wait in worried anticipation of what comes next. Then, like a wish upon a shooting star come true, all of that blot of corruption begin dissipating into nothingness. Spires of black, mounds of darkness, tendrils of evil, all disappear with nary a trace left behind. The same goes for the corrupted ones, sentient or insentient; the taint that forcefully took over innocent lives and inanimate objects are all ejected from their hosts, leaving behind many that gratitude for their restored freedom of will. With the ancient evil's influence eradicated from these fair lands, all lives still present for this moment rejoice with the metaphorical energy of ten suns. The four heroes, though only called that initially to bring a placebo of hope to all who were in despair, are now recognized and hailed as the true heroes of these lands. Within the four's carefree chatter with each other, a question, though with lighthearted intention, is asked:
"What did happen beyond that portal?"
The view goes back in time and in position of this specific Godmodding war. It's yet another turn of the Godmodder fighting off the multitude of beings that want her head off, however metaphorical that statement may be. In the midst of all the goings-on in this combat, a portal of jet black opens up. From it, a ragged cloak connected to a skeletal figure comes out, making the unfortunate misstep of bumping in the Godmodder. At the exact moment this newcomer makes contact with the Godmodder, a spear of golden light flies out from the portal and pierces both newcomer and Godmodder through their chests. The spear then dissolves into a swarm of golden light that fly into the indefinite. The Godmodder most definitely lives through this new wound and most probably does not give too much attention to it. The newcomer, on the other hand, is reaching to its own chest, disbelief being an obvious expression that it's wearing right now.
The newcomer lets out a wail...no wait, two...no there's another one...hold on a moment.
ahem
A horde of wails comes out from the newcomer's maw, as hundreds, if not thousands, of souls fly out, revealing themselves to be the actual source of the wailing. Though one would expect relief to be the emotion that should be felt by these freed spirits, they have been under too much torture that any semblance of sanity is no longer present. Their drive, though allegedly revealed to be a bid for vengeance through a mad mantra of the same word uttered by each and every soul, is, in reality, a horribly deformed definition of the word; that is, they intend to indiscriminately tear through any living being they see. And oh, what a coincidence! The only living being they can see, thanks in part to the debris that's been blocking any sight of the others and the fact that she was next to that newcomer when it died, the Godmodder. As they do spot the Godmodder, their one-word mantra changes by a whole word.
"tear tear tear tear tear tear tear teAR TEAR TEAR TEAR TEAR TEAR TEAR TEAR TEAR"
The vengeful spirits all march menacingly towards the Godmodder as they repeatedly scream their mantra towards her. Then, one takes the initiative and lunges itself towards the Godmodder, followed by all of the others.
The Godmodder would, of course, triumph over these souls, but not without obtaining some damaging wounds herself.
