The Book of Abbadon

The End of All Things

As Izael continues to weep for Nahzgor while he floats alone in space, you hear a familiar voice speak to him from behind in a loving tone.

“ Do not be bereft, brother. It is just like Our Father told us… We were not all meant to last. “

Aatu says as he gently puts his hand on Izael's shoulder, using his power over Time to restore his brother's physical form back to perfect condition. Izael asks his older brother a question as he continues to struggle with his emotions.

“ But why… why must we be the ones that remain? Why must it be us to endure this pain of watching our siblings fall one by one? “

“ It was the way our father intended. Reylesh and Nahzgor both fulfilled their purposes to the letter. There was nothing more for them here. “

Aatu replies as he finishes healing Izael, who then turns around and looks Aatu in the eyes while Aatu continues to speak to him.

“ The moment we were born, Father told us to fulfill our purpose. You and I still remain because our purpose is yet to be fulfilled… There is one final thing we must do. “

Izael wipes the tears from his eyes before coming to a realization. You can tell from his facial expression that he now has a new sense of clarity before he makes a remark, obviously referencing something that only the both of them know.

“ It was always going to be Faerah… “

Aatu silently nods his head before putting his hand on Izael's arm and looking in the direction where you're observing them from. Aatu then closes his eyes as he uses his powers to merge your perception of them with your current position within space and time in the present, and in an instant, the final vision that The Holy Omniverse Transcript was presenting to you fades away and the book closes itself.

As your perception returns to its normal state, you immediately see Izael and Aatu floating in front of you just as they were in your vision before noticing that Izael still has a grief stricken expression from losing his brother. Aatu, however, remains seemingly unbothered by the recent turn of events as he opens his eyes and nods at you with a soft gaze.

“ What are you guys doing here? “

You ask them in a confused manner before diverting your attention away from them and towards the light in the distance that's getting brighter as it continues to rapidly approach.

“ We never expected you to face The None alone, Abbadon. In this confrontation against all odds that dictates the fate of my father's creation, we are here to fight beside you and back you up. “

Aatu says with conviction as he focuses his attention on the approaching object as well. Izael then speaks to Aatu in an honorable tone as he begins to regain his composure and concentrate on the matter at hand.

“ I may not have been able to fight for you back on that moon in the Immortal Realm where you first perished, brother, but I am grateful now for this opportunity to stand beside you against Father’s equal. There is no higher honor than to face the end of creation itself alongside the sibling who has always mentored me and helped guide me along the path of Godhood. “

“ The honor is all mine, Izael. Together we rose, and if we must, together we will fall. “

Aatu says as the three of you all float in space side-by-side, watching the distant light approach you at an unbelievable speed. Then, almost immediately, the radiant light emanating from the approaching object vanishes with a loud boom as it instantly stops right in front of you, going from 600 million light-years per second to completely still in the blink of an eye.
