Prologue

"The end approaches" - one voice spoke. It was deep and rough, and seemed to come from every direction.

"It is not the first time you have spoken those words" - a much lighter and calmer voice retorted.

"Can you not feel it? Nearing. Advancing. The finale looks down upon us. Readying itself, for its impending arrival" - the first voice spoke again.

"I feel it. But it is not the finish that you so crave so bad. It is your desperation, that increases as you realize that just as I have held my ground for the last 15 billion years... I will continue to" - the light voice spoke and a loud rumble could be heard throughout the emptiness.

"Laugh all you want" - the light one said in slight irritation.

"You think me desperate?" - the jagged voice sounded in amusement.

"I have only been biding my time. Waiting for the perfect moment... to strike!" - the deep voice continued.

"My children are nearing. And my greatest accomplishment is due for his return" - the dark voice said.

"We will see" - the light one said.

"Indeed we will. We will see your puny defenses fall. Unlike mine, your children are dead" - the gravelly voice said gloatingly.

"Not all of them" - the light one retorted in a tired fashion.

"They will be. When I pounce upon our battleground, your kais will be all gone" - the dark voice said.

"You continue to underestimate them" - the light one said.

"Perhaps. But let us lean back, and watch your world... crumble" - the deep voice spoke, ending their conversation. With a shift of everything, the dark presence had left. From seemingly nowhere a bright man leaned back against the edge of space.

"We will see" - he said with a silent voice.

This should have been posted before I posted chapter 1. But I apparently it wasn't. Sorry about that!
