1 The Battle for the End
Reaching high in the sky, long covered by a thick layer of black cloud, right at the very center of the world stood the white tower.
Standing as though in defiance of the havens, it stood, radiating through the storm that threatened to envelop it. Something slammed into its majesty, a large black serpent, slamming into the tower. Above it rested a golden titan, armor of plate and marble with a mask that appeared to be chiseled by hand, a massive great sword that ran the monstrosity through, pinning it to the tower, defiling it with its blood.
The titan held fast, keeping its sword lodged in the long scaly body until its movement ceased. The Titan pulled its sword free, allowing the body of the monstrosity to fall before descending towards the madness that ensued around the tower.
A battle to determine the fate of all. War barges of purest gold and white, against beasts and monsters that assaulted them. Through fire and flame, holy light and purest dark, the two forces assailed one another in a ferocious battle of attrition.
The celestial beings, with armor of gold and marble, armed with golden weapons, aided by divine serpents, titans and beasts, held back the tide of darkness, monsters and deformed humanoids that seeped out of the portals that dotted the sky. Flame rained down as the barges and broken monsters collapsed to the ground, disappearing into ash.
In the midst of the battle, on one barge that held twenty celestial warriors, a lone warrior landed at the center.
A beautiful girl, dressed in armor fit for the legendary Valkire, armed with a sword of purest silver with a golden star cross guard in her right hand, around silver shield in her left. Her armor a mix of gold plates with a feather half skirt extending from her hip. Her golden hair flowing from behind her helm.
The warriors yelled in alien tonged as they branded there spears at the warrior, spitting their hatred at the golden warrior.
The girl stood firm as one lunged, blocking a jab from a spear, allowing it to pass before striking it in the back, rendering it to golden dust. Two more charged, but the girl disappeared, repapering in a flash behind them, cutting upwards, disposing of one before following up with another strike, killing the second. She pivoted around, intercepting another attacker, blocking and parrying with her shield before jabbing it into the face mask of the attacker, cracking it.
Golden energy radiated from her sword as she pivoted again, sending a horizontal swing. The energy was released, sending a golden wave that blasted the deck along with three of the incoming attackers.
At the rear of the barge, a larger celestial emerged, armed with a golden shield and a mace, preparing to charge when something landed behind it. A blade of purple energy sliced the monster in half, causing it to phase out. The golden warrior looked to the rear to see her companion, dressed in similar armor, only tilted black and purple, armed with a long two-handed sword with a purple blade and black hilt. Her hair, what emerged from behind the helm was silver, with a golden left eye that stood out to all. The celestials attacked, and the warrior dodged with grace despite the long sword, kicking aside one while cutting the other in half, following through with a downward strike on the fallen celestial.
The newcomer charged forwards, swinging her blade towards an incoming attacker as purple energy formed on her blade. At the same time the girl charged towards the girl, golden energy forming on her blade. The two reached each other, lunging forward as though prepared to strike the other down, but ended up passing by, releasing the golden and purple energy, blasting aside the remaining celestial warriors.
Black portals began to open, causing the girls to go back to back, bracing themselves for what was to come. Emerging where skeletal like beasts, there bodies adorned with flame and following behind where armored warriors with gray armor that looked to have been melted, an encrusted, armed with swords burning a black flame.
A second battle ensued on the deck, the two girls combatting the onslaught of opponents while the titan fought back a large winged beast that befell it, grabbing a hold of it before throwing it towards the barge where the girls where.
Sensing the danger, the girls jumped to safety as the barge was destroyed, falling towards a black flying manta ray, finding themselves surrounded by another onslaught of celestial and demonic enteritis while the battle between the titan and the beast continued. The fight ending with the titan severing the creature's entire arm, sending crashing into another of the barges, followed by a downward strike, cutting the beasts left wing, grabbing a hold of it before it could fall and plunged its sword into its belly. The Titan pushed it off, letting it fall before turning its attention to the manta ray which circled it amits the chaos, the girls continuing there dance of blades against the onslaught of celestials and demons. Bringing its blade high in the sky, the Titan struck the manta ray, carving it in two.
Seeing the girls jump off again, it pursued, falling admits the burning barges and the falling bodies.
The girls continued to free fall admits the burning barges and broken bodies of demons, avoiding the fire and flames as a barrage of projectiles came from outside of the battlefield, ripping both sides apart. The girls fell without any interruption, falling between the debris and shots fired with skillful agility.
The target of the free fall, a golden sphere in the center of the battlefield close to the tower.
The titan caught up to the girls, swinging its blade at them. The golden warrior was the first to turn, blocking the incoming strike with her shield, which emitted a golden glow. At the same time, the purple warrior sends an arc of purple energy, hitting the titan's face with enough power to force it back slightly.
Throwing her blade up in the sky, the golden warrior appeared, grabbing a hold of the purple blade in her left hand, both blades letting out a powerful aura of energy as she turned. The energy that radiated slammed into the titan's chest, causing the armor to crack. She finished with an upwards strike, the streaks of gold and purple severing the right arm, freeing the sword from its grip.
Following the attack, the girl threw the purple blade aside as it began to glow in unison with the golden sword. Caught by its owner, the girls floated towards each other, smashing their swords together in a bright light. A large glowing blade, combine the gold and purple emerged from the light, clutched by both girls. A green energy formed on the blade which the two brought down onto the titan, severing it in two.
With one large death groan, the titan dissipated, leaving only its massive sword. The girls, with there weapons in hand, fell towards the sword, the purple warrior landing on the blade, resting her sword into the blade, as the golden warrior emerged at its rear, gathering energy on her blade before striking the pommeled of the sword, launching it like a missile towards the sphere.
The purple warrior reached out her free hand to catch the Golden warrior who had just emerged, the two riding the makeshift missile until it struck its intended target, smashing a wide hole into the golden surface of the sphere.

To any onlooker, this must look like an average battle, one of the light making a stand against the darkness. A battle against good and evil.
Throughout my existence, I have always pondered this very concept. What does define good when the very notion is debated? What defines evil, when others can see it as good?
I for one have never questioned the notion. I vowed to remain neutral in the affairs of mortals, observing from a distance and preserving there tales, there struggles within the pages of this compendium.
But this particular tale is one that has defined my expectations. One that has caused me to question my very logic. Is this a battle to restore the fragile notion of order? Is it to embrace the cold liberation of chaos?
Or is this a battle for freedom? Freedom from the very notion of destiny, a rebellion carried out by individuals, struggling against all the odds and adversaries layout in their path.
To be honest, I still have no clear answer to this query as I sit here, watching this event unfold. And If this conclusion is what I believe it to be, I feel I will not be able to come up with that answer. Even if I was, it is entirely subjective and includes variables that I myself may be able to miss. Therefore, I require assistance from whoever finds this to come up with there own judgment.
Hm? Oh! I suppose I haven't given you my name.
Hmmmmm....
Call me Ark. I'm a recorder of events, keeping meticulous records of mortals.
As for this battle and it's meaning.... I suppose the only course of action is to start at the beginning. The beginning of the battle for the end of all.
What follows are the records of Allisa Reed and her struggle, trials, and tribulations as the Goddess Chosen.
