_____________________________________

A sudden sense of dread overwhelms my body.
Something huge and unstoppable was tearing though time itself.
Annihilating the universe itself, I could sense it coming, past preset, future, in, out, everywhere.

I stood.

I turned to my mate and whispered into her ear
"Goodbye"

There was no time to react as the heavens crashed down upon me.

I stood strong and futilely fought back towards the end.
The end of eternity itself.
I stood by myself and with myself as time ripples and breaks apart around me.

Anger, dread, hopelessness welled up from inside of me.

Yet there was a spark.

A spark of life, a spark of willpower.

I gaze to the sky and with all my might I fight back.

I was not strong enough to stop it

But I continued to fight, not wanting to loose this insignificant planet I called home.

Stars ripped apart, everything destroyed.

But I still stood to the might that was oncoming.

The power grew stronger and I push back.

The power and will welling up from deep inside of me.

Tearing my body apart.

Tearing my soul apart.

Tearing my mind apart.

All that was left was a burning desire to save this world.

A desire and will larger than ever thought possible.

Yet my power was only that of a child's.

Still to grow, still to learn, still to blossom.

My unmovable will clashed with the eradicating wave, piercing the void of nothingness, protecting my world.

I was loosing the battle, the void closing in to envelop my home.

I give everything I could even as the breath of life, the either, that had allowed life to exist had burned away. Everything was dieing as I struggled in this instant, in this moment.

I lost myself as well.

I was consumed by the unstoppable force.

but there was a spark.

a spark of will to protect the world.

And so I did, sacrificing myself to protect that which I cared for.

I had diverted the wave of destruction.
To protect an insignificant speck of dirt.

My home, I protected it.

Everything went dark, there were no stars left. Just this world drifting in the void of nothingness.

Time had stopped, rain fell in sorrow of the fate that is to come.

Yet there was a spark.

A Spark of life.

My essence, flowing into the world.

Giving the world life again.

My name is Duke, I am the Guardian of this world.
