Chapter 4: Conclusion of Eternity

Dark clouds blotted out the morning sun. Just beyond the city marched the Cursed King's army, demons of the night that threatened the survival of humanity. Kalir stood from his mountain-top throne and watched their approach.

"This is the final day, my lord." A small man in ornate robes took his place beside Kalir. "It is time to say goodbye to your people. Our time with you has brought us fortune man has never known, but all things good must eventually end. It is the law of this world." Kalir stood silently as he looked over the city—his city, his people. People of this world he as grown to love over his thousand year reign of man.

"I have lived as long as everything that is. One thousand years is no different to me than mere seconds for you, yet I regard my time here as something to cherish." Kalir turned to the man and bowed. "It is time to take my leave but it is not time for humanity to end."

Kalir walked to the edge of his shrine and raised his hands. The clouds above parted and the sun shone upon him, igniting the shimmering brilliance of his icy-blue skin. A column of blue light burst from the heavens and swallowed the Cursed King's army. The earth shook at the touch of Kalir's might, its light blinding, its power incomprehensible. The robed man shielded his eyes.

As quickly as it came it was gone. The man looked up and saw the demon army was gone—and so was Kalir.
