The Final Day

The dwarf watched his massive hammer tumble down, down, and further down yet until it hit the ground with a great thud. He then turned towards the general only to find the general’s blade at his throat. “You may best me here, but my comrades will be here soon enough to overtake you and your remaining soldiers. Just you wait. They’ll be-.”

Those were his last words as the blade pierced his throat, spilling blood everywhere. The general then pulled the sword from the dying dwarf’s neck and wiped the blood on his sheath. Moridan tried to breathe, but the only thing that came up was blood that pooled in his throat and mouth. He felt light-headed, sputtered, and after a few moments, slipped into unconsciousness. Minutes later, he died.

The goddess Gaia had witnessed all this from her place in the heavens, and was greatly saddened. Having created this world, she decided she was able to destroy it as well. So, that is what she did.
