55 Regre (1/2)
Behind us the vast empty Void that once was is no more, in front of us the young dark skinned youthmarches on tearing every Creed that approaches him apart. As the True Gods recover from their dazed states we all come to find ourselves being protected by Dashnell's Domain.
All True Gods possess a Domain, but once it is placed down it can never be moved until death. Think of it as setting up a territory, it provides significant boost to the owner while striping the attacker of most of their power feeding it to the Domains creator. Most True Gods only deploy their Domains when they are on the verge of dying, while the Domain can not be moved it can expand and grow covering more space as the True God becomes stronger.
We can all feel that this is Dashnells Domain and that he is moving it in the direction of Teressa, even I fail to understand how he is able to display such ability and power. How much time did we spend holding off the Creed before they pushed us to flee into the Void, how long did it take for us to retreat out of the hellish area around Teressa. Yet now he is simply walking through time and space as if he is taking a breath of air, all the while he is massacring the Creeds unending numbers making even it seem as if my power amounts to nothing before him.
Before we can get over the shock of his ever expanding Domain and power ahead of us we spot the Creed nest.
”Crest you are a fragment of him that is a fact I have known since I failed to kill you all those years ago when you were first born, so tell me right now why do I feel that you have more power than he does?” Said one of the True Gods, a tall frail looking man with golden eyes.
”I- I am stronger yes but I am sure if we fought he would kill me as soon as I would try to move.”
I do not know how to explain my masters power to them I can't even explain it to myself so how could I provide information to them.
The Creed in this area go into a rage as Dashnell keeps moving towards Teressa, looking around I fail to spot any of the Guardians she had protecting her before, did they die? That's not good as I start to panic I ask the others to help me scan the area for the Guardian Teressa created with red eyes, moving closer thanks to Dashnell not stopping at all we come to a battlefield inside the nest.
Reaching the inner region of the nest we finally find the Guardians we were searching for, dying to their Creed brethren. In the center of this battlefield is Teressa guarded by the red eyed Guardian, it's true body a massive dragon that is doing it's best to aid the other Guardians that are under its command. As if knowing my intention Dashnell roots me to the ground his Domain created looking at me with a smile he says. ”Stay here you will only get in my way, I will kill her and stop these 'Creed' so you just stay here inside my Domain it is more suited to protecting you than I am. My other Domain will not be able to tell friend from foe, maybe you can survive within it as you are my Guardian but just stay put.”
Walking away from us he makes his way towards the battle taking place below, I look back at the True Gods to ask them if they also have two Domains. They all just stare at Dashnells back unable to say that he is also one of their race, be it his power his behavior and personality he is nothing like a True God he is more like their very own God!
”Crest he said he is the one to bring about the end! Do you think that because Teressa's Creed destroyed everything before a 'True End' could happen it caused him to awaken earlier than he was meant to?”
Looking at this True God everyone believes this is the case, even I had already come to think of this outcome. He was born to bring an end to everything but if everything is already gone what would he do then? So he woke up to fix that which he deems to be a problem in the natural flow of things thatwere to happen, that still does not explain how I can not sense any power from him. Looking at him it feels as if he is empty, the dead Creed that fail to even get close to him tell a different story. Thinking back I remember the time I poured all of my power even some of my life essence into him, at that time to prevent me from dying and attempting the same thing again did he not change the energy he absorbed to something foreign to even me.
Telling the True Gods we agree that Dashnell's power is a new energy that he found either in the Void or created himself, both cause us to look at him like the monster he is. No one has ever created a moving Domain let alone two, along with his ability to travel such a vast distance in a few unhurried steps while dragging us along. The most terrifying part is that we are unable to agree on how the Void simply vanished when his body became physical, inside him it has to be inside him. What would allow him to carry the entire vast forever expanding Void into himself.

”Leave from here True God! Do not make an enemy out of us, we only wish to kill these Guardians and take our Creator away so she never stops creating our kind!”
