The rain fell without mercy. High atop the pale mountains Tullec edged his feet towards the edge and breathed in deep. Tullec exhaled sharply said a prayer to the goddess Anra, one he learned as boy to secure his faith in her. Poised gently on the edge of the world he jumped forward, plummeting quickly towards the earth he extended his arms in front of him. Focusing his weave he began casting, first forming a singularity of pure energy. From the singularity came his conjuration, a wyvren let out a massive cry barely getting its head trough the singularity.

    Come On, Tullec muttered to himself as the wyvren struggled to gain full form. The wyvren trashed around barley getting its one of its massive dark wings through, Damn it all Tullec said to himself knowing the wyvren would not form in time to stop his descent. He broke the cast and began a new weave, this one had to be perfect and fast. Forming a new weave he began casting, a new singularity formed then expanded. This singularity was black as the void and began to engulf Tullec’s body. The darkness began swallowing him whole pulling into the abyss. Fool a voice echoed in his head, a voice that was not his own.

          The void swallowed him whole, Mortal you have no idea what powers you play with. A pair of large crimson eyes appeared out of the blackness and stared at him, Why are you here? The voice demanded, “I…I....summoned...you.” Tullec stammered. Why? The voice growled “To save my life, I jumped off the edge of world.” A life for a life the voice stated as large footsteps approached him,”Yes I will give you a life if you spare mine.” A life for a life the voice repeated as the footsteps got closer, “Please I will give you a life.” Tullec bargained. The large red eyes towered over him and stopped moving, Your life I will spare the voice stated. A life for a life the voice stated again as Tullec was lifted into the air.

           He could see it almost clearly it was Ysdis, the harbinger of the end times. Ysdis was a large behemoth, a bear like creature with curled horns, razor sharp teeth and. God of the rebirth and ruin, Ysdis opened his mouth wide and Tullec saw only darkness. Look deep into the abyss Ysdis commanded, out of the darkness sprang another Tullec. This other Tullec was dressed the same blue silk mage robes, same long black boots, same thick woolly black hair, same dark skin yet his eyes were different somehow. Tullec was not sure but there was a certain glow in them, he tried to see this doppelganger closer by leaning forward but it was no use it was reclaimed by the darkness that birthed it.

    “I beg of of you Lord Ysdis, God of Rebirth and Ruination.” began Tullec but was cut off by a loud boisterous laugh from the God. Look around mortal what do you see? Ysdis demanded with voice that was barely over a low growl. “Darkness.” Tullec answeredExactly I am god of nothing now, everything needs to reborn. “I do not understand milord.” Tullec said as he forced closer to Ysdis.

I will reclaim this world and rebuild this world mortal, and all will tremble at my return he roared.Ysdis mouth opened wider almost to a grin, Rebirth and ruination will cleanse this world.

    “Milord?” asked Tullec tilting his body to try and stand up straight. “What are you planning milord?” Tullec asked, Soon you will know mortal, Ysdis replied as he opened his mouth wider and swallowed Tullec whole. Tullec fell through the void and landed on cold wet ground. He was back on the mortal plane.
