It was something only a callous and careless God could come up with.

Something that had no regard for mortals whatsoever.

It seemed Gabriela's experience, her impression of the Gods, wasn't going to be much different from Corella's after all. History was repeating itself now. The only difference was that Gabriela felt her eyes fading, her personal light grew dim, and it almost felt like she was losing control of her own body.

Regardless of what she wanted to do or not, all that mattered was that she would probably be turned into one of his Champions. And, as Gabriela's light faded, Kyne's light began to shine a bit more brightly. He smiled for real, for the first time since she had met him, and his eyes opened from that narrow glare they had always shown.

Now, open fully at last, she could see them shining like bright red autumn moons. But it was really that smile which scared her. Because she saw, in that moment, the madness which had infected him. Mona's purely evil and warped conception of Love had infected a God. It had brought him here... by coincidence or whatever you want to call it....

Everything that Mona had done had actually summoned a God to this exact place after all.

Now, thinking the same way that Mona thought, Kyne was imagining returning back to see a special and warm smile, a smile that he had always yearned to see. And in his own warped and purely evil mind, he thought this was the way to achieve it.

That mortal worm had somehow crawled back out of the tunnel and escaped, but that was fine. Jamison would serve as a nice pawn; a piece who could set up the forces on the other side and make sure that there was a story to tell at all. It would be better than having the Champions run over this world and effortlessly destroy it.

Kyne knew how fun it was going to be to burn this world down. He finally understood the joy of playing games with mortals. They could always do things you might not expect, and you'd be forced to react to the 'free will' that had been imparted upon them. That was such a novel idea to a God of Magic who had ignored the Mortals for so long!

Now, at last, he understood.

"... I'm starting to get into it..."

Well, to whoever said they would actually like a very long chapter, be careful what you wish for. I couldn't figure out any other way to complete this except to post it exactly as it ended up. There's nothing I felt I could safely edit and keep the spirit of this epilogue intact. Hopefully this ending doesn't leave anyone feeling too unsatisfied.

It actually ended up being well above 35k

I believe the longest chapter I've ever written/posted for one of these projects...

For those who didn't want a galactic sized update: I am so sorry. I have no idea how this happened lol
