Destroyer of Worlds
Blood. Mayhem. Ash. Absolute chaos. My hands were those of the betrayer, the destroyer of mankind. I laid waste to the exquisite and delicate works of humanity, built desert wastelands on the foundations of paradise. My sacrifice was absolute as I transcended, rising above the bondage of my mortality. Now I was alone, the last sentient being in all creation, ruling over a wild expanse of nothingness. A proverbial Eden. My choice? Whether re-create Adam and Eve, knowing their betrayal and the inevitability of the original sin.
