Titans of Ages Current

The End

There was no light, no darkness... No sense at all...

"Kid, stop tripping out on me."

"Dad? The hell are you going here?"

My old man was sitting in this vacuum of darkness, drinking coffee of all things.

"You did it son!"

Boom

Confetti burst from the darkness, as if randomly.

"You stopped that damned prophecy, and kept reality from going down the shitter... Nice"

"Oh thanks, I wasn't sure all that would even work."

"Well, you made a judgement call. Sure it was a shit idea to begin with, but it all worked out in the end."

"So it all worked, huh? I was really worried that Mammon would go crazy after he won."

"That's the beauty of it... They both killed each other out there. Crazy shit, I'd watch it again if I could."

"Again? Where you there?"

"Course not, but being the divinity of will has its perks."

"Divinity of will?"

"Oh yeah, the old one died or something, so now that position was appointed to me. Go me... Yeah if you couldn't tell... This ain't heaven. You my boy, are in the void!"

"Shit, the maelstrom hates us."

"Damn right! Now... Down to business.. You saved reality, so you get one desire fulfilled on your command. It can be anything you want, but you can't ask me how the void works, because I have no clue."

Where have I heard this before?

"Dad, I have learned a very powerful lesson these last years. Everything that happened to me and everyone else stained my mind....

Dad... I want you to fuck yourself."

My old man chuckles before looking up to me, "maybe I'm not as bad a father as I thought. I'm proud of you son."

I feel warmth in my heart, and comfort in my decision to not decide. I feel safe to confide with him further.

"So the world's safe right? No more reality bending shit."

"Maybe in that sense, but the world will never be safe. After all this, do you think the world will just gather round and sing verses? The world in getting back on its feet, and soon, so will those that want to rule it. That's inevitable."

I look around at all the nothingness that is the void. Looks like I got a lot of free time now.

"Hey Jack, what was that lessoned you learned anyways."

"It was the secret of the universe."

"Oh? And that would be?"

"Shit happens."

I share a laugh with my father again. It's strange to feel comfort in all that happened, and the people I lost. But you know what, they are probably carrying on in the next world.

Well........ This is the void? I'm sure Torpor could conjure entertainment... We could spruce this place up in no time.

Funny.... My greatest victory, and all I had to do was quit, and let destiny take it's course.

Makes me wonder, if I had chose to do nothing from the start, would the world still be safe?

Of course not! I'm Jack, the savior of humanity!

Yep, they're probably writing stories about me right...... Now..... Fuck it.

I need a drink.
