'''The Last Battle'''
<br /><br />
The Hopeslayer had never been more powerful than on that last day.
<br /><br />
He had learned much since his last defeat, and his fury made the earth's bones groan with agony.
<br /><br />
The world would pay at last for his torment.
<br /><br />
But Asheron had not been idle either.
<br /><br />
He had learned to tap dormant energy that no Empyrean had ever touched.
<br /><br />
His aspect as he confronted Bael'Zharon was that of a god, wrathful and awesome to behold.
<br /><br />
The Virindi Imperator watched, the forces of Portalspace at his command.
<br /><br />
He could not defeat both foes at once, but a weakened victor would be an easy target.
<br /><br />
He bided, waiting to launch his own attack.
<br /><br />
They were the Great Ones, titans of inestimable might.
<br /><br />
None knew how the battle would end &ndash;
<br /><br />
only that when it did, only one would remain, and Dereth would be his prize.
<br /><br />
But something went wrong.
