Chapter 3: Minutes Before The End
A large pulse of dark energy beamed upwards, originating from the Shadow Queen. In the moments that followed, all was still.
Mustering every strength I had left, I rose up and turned to Daevalia.
"What was that?" I asked. "What did you do?"
Her body was sprawled out motionless on the floor, but her eyes twitched as a faint smile appeared on her face.
She had used all her remaining powers to cast a spell, and I could feel the mana draining from her.
"What did you do?!"
Then, I heard her whisper.
"Eternal rule... or eternal destruction. Either way, I win."
In her eyes, I saw a faint glimmer of joy. Although her strength was waning, she let out another horrible laugh.
That was the moment it began.
At first, I could not see exactly what it was, but deep down, I could sense it.
The sky looked... wrong.
