The Realm of Alagir

The Destruction of The First Realm

(Case's POV)

I had just finished dumping the last few chickens off at the farm since someone had filled my house with chickens as a prank, when I saw Bryce sneaking away from the Mianite temple. He was spreading redstone dust behind him as he went, pulling handfuls out of a bag at his waist.

Sensing something was up, I approached Bryce quietly.

"This'll teach them not to steal my stuff." Bryce muttered under his breath.

"Bryce?" I asked. He jumped and stepped in front of the dust trail he'd been making.

"Hey! Case! I didn't hear you coming." He said nervously.

"Yeah, I noticed." I responded "What are you doing?" I continued.

"Ummmm, nothing?" Bryce tried.

"Mhmm." I replied sarcastically.

Suddenly, Bryce took a step forward and his boot, made partly from iron, sparked on the stone and ignited the redstone.

"Crap! Run!" Bryce yelled, sprinting away from the temple. Not knowing what else to do, I ran after Bryce.

"Wait!" I called after him. I looked back at the temple just as it exploded with a deafening boom that echoed across the land, followed by another explosion, further away.

I tackled Bryce from behind.

"What did you do!?" I demanded.

Bryce smiled and said, "Taught those thieves a lesson."

"What was the second explosion?" I asked tiredly.

"Dianite's temple." Bryce answered. My eyes widened as I realized the scale of what had happened.

"Do you know what you've done?" I whispered angrily into his ear. I felt Dianite and Mianite's presence enter the world, and Bryce felt it too. He looked at me fearfully and we both stood up.

"Who did this?" Mianite boomed.

"My temple!" Dianite shouted angrily. I saw Mianite floating high above us in the air and I watched as a red figure joined him in the air.

"You will pay!" Dianite yelled, drawing his crimson-colored sword. Mianite drew his sword and the two flew at each other, blades ringing sharply.

I saw Braxton running towards to us.

"What's happening!" He yelled.

"Bryce accidentally started a fight between Dianite and Mianite!" I shouted back at him. "Oh dear." Braxton replied, stopping near us.

Mianite and Dianite continued fighting while we watched in awe. I heard a yelp from my side and I looked over to see Bryce jumping away from a hole in the world that had just appeared. The world was dissolving into the Void! By now, all the inhabitants of the area had come out to see the commotion.

'We need to leave, now!' I thought. 'Lady Ianite, help us!' I cried mentally. The world continued to dissolve around us.

'Please!' I projected mentally. I heard a portal open behind us. I turned around and saw a purple and black oval. Ianite stepped out of the portal. Me and Braxton immediately fell to one knee.

"M'lady." Me and Braxton murmured respectfully.

"Stand." She commanded. I stood. "Go through the portal, it will take you to safety." She said. The others rushed through the portal.

"Go." She said, looking at me.

"M'lady, what about you?" I asked.

She smiled grimly and said, "I must restore balance, I need to stop them from fighting. I will bring you all back once they stop, now go!" I looked once more at Ianite, then plunged into the portal.....

(Ianite's POV)

I watched as my Priest dove into the portal. At least they were safe for now, but I needed to stop my brothers. I hadn't told my Priest that this world was probably doomed, He needn't know that now. All I could do was restore balance, after all, that's what I was born to do. I drew my sword, a fine blade made half of black and half of white metal, and flew at my brothers. I surprised them and knocked Mianite's blade away. I quickly disarmed Dianite in a similar fashion.

"Stop!" I yelled as they both retrieved their weapons.

'I don't have a choice, I'll have to destroy this world completely. That's the only way to drive my brothers apart.' I started muttering an incantation. Runes appeared around me. I saw a patch of Void appear before me and I condensed it using more magic. The Void collapsed in on itself, creating a black hole.

"Ianite! Stop!" Mianite yelled, but I wasn't listening. The orb grew and grew. I released the magic and then watched as Mianite and Dianite retreated back to other worlds. I nodded in satisfaction and opened a portal back to the End. With a final pitying glance, I went back home.....
