For 425, character: Lord Demon

79. Domination

Conquering is who he is. It's what he does. It's in his code.

He has built towards it, built on it. Trampled thousands, as was his due. Death meant nothing. Only his life would matter. That was the purpose of Arcadia. That was his destiny.

Right up there. He just has to keep going up. Keep swatting these flies. Keep moving forward. It's there. It's present. His claws can almost reach it.

His claws almost do. And then the world distorts, fades.

No, he does.

He dies.
