Grilfer emerged from his portal, now missing an arm and a hand, letting out a loud shriek. The sound was so loud it shook the dark world deep in its core and the God of Darkness made his way straight to Grilfer. The God was left astonished at the sight he was witnessing, how could this have ever happened?
How could some mere mortal have maimed the Creature of Darkness?
Grilfer fell to his knees.
"Son what happened to you? How did a mere mortal do this to you? "he asked
"This was no mere mortal father, this was another God, another God for sure" he replied
"The God knew not only my weakness, but the weakness of us all, All Hallows Eve and the full moon in the sky. He was sent to kill me Father, she knows, Solveig knows everything" he whispered to his father, his energy dropping
"How is this possible, how do you know this?" the Dark Lord asked
"There was a spy, on the day that you were telling mother about the prophecy of the Seer. I was there that day listening and I heard a noise. I thought nothing more of it but she had someone here, someone in your kingdom" Grilfer added
Grilfer seemed to be fading with every moment. The blade that had been used to cut him was forged in the land of light and was enchanted to banish all darkness and fill it
with light. Something was coursing through him. Grilfer leant towards his father reaching behind him and pulling a knife out from his own back, wedged into one of his vertebrae. The blade had managed to hit him before he got to his portal, it was a direct hit from the young God. The blade burst into light and vanished. Grilfer put his hand on his father's shoulder and said
"Father I tried; I tried my best to make you proud. I tried my best to win you the war, I just wasn't enough. Please remember everything that I have done for you. I didn't live up to my destiny and I am sorr..."
Grilfer froze with his arm still outstretched and fell landing on his side, rigid as the bodies he had once left behind in their rooms. After a few seconds Grilfer turned into a pile of dust. He was dead. The God of light had put an end to the loophole once and for all, there was an even playing field again.
The God of Darkness let out a cry of rage, looking up he shouted
"THIS IS NOT THE END SOLVEIG; YOU HAVE TAKEN MY SON FROM ME. I WILL BRING A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF SUFFERING FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. THE GREAT SOUL WAR WILL BE THE LAST OF YOUR WORRIES"
Back in the land of light, the young man was now being attended to by doctors in order to heal his wounds. There was no saving his eye though, that would be a reminder for the generations to come of the sacrifice he made to save humanity. Word had reached the God of Light that Grilfer was dead, her plan had been a success.
"Mother, I wasn't able to finish my goal, he got away" the young man said to his mother as she walked into the room
"No son, you did perfectly, the blade you launched met its mark and the Creature of Darkness by the name of Grilfer is
dead. He will no longer burden the people of humanity" she said
"Thanks to you they are safe, and can sleep easy knowing their souls are safe. Your story will be told for generations Nido, to show your heroic act and how you saved humanity" she added
Nido continued to tell his mother what had happened and how he defeated Grilfer Mortal Reaper, the Creature of Darkness.
