The world dimmed and darkness started to swallow up everything, visibility gradually decreasing to nothing as blackness swallowed up everything, the sunlight from behind the eclipse dying with the the faith Evelyn gave up. The golden talisman in Haley's neck disintegrated into sparks and motes of light that were then lost in nothingness.<br/><br/>Not far away, in a pile of pillaged loot, the golden longsword the paladin has carried turned to dust.<br/><br/>On a continent far away, in the treasury of a cruel sultan, a brilliant gem-encrusted helm corroded into a pile of ruse, the gems exploding one by one.<br/><br/>In an ancient monastery on a mountain peak, a massive tome containing the holy scriptures of Lux burst into flame and instantly burned to ash.<br/><br/>Above the orgy where Evelyn lost herself, the last remaining light, shimmering dim from the writhing body of the trapped, violated goddess dimmed and she was swallowed up completely by Tenebrax, and everything turned pitch black. But nothing disappeared. The moans, the screams, the obscene sounds of flesh slapping against flesh continued, and in time were joined with the sounds of the fiends starting to feast.<br/><br/>Effectively blind, Evelyn surrendered to whatever fate her captors had for her in the new world. Her ceaseless violation eased with time as the creatures found more prey to keep them busy. The entire world was theirs. Everyone and everything the fallen lightbearer knew belonged to the monsters now and she stopped caring about it.<br/><br/>In time, she was moved somewhere and she grew heavy with child, like many other females were in that place. Once she gave birth, she wasn't surprised that the spawn she gave life to was nothing close resembling human. Soon enough she was taken to be bred again between feeding sessions and nursing her of offspring. She couldn't see her children, but the claws, fur, carapace, scales sometimes slime and tentacles were unmistakable. Her destiny was never to save the light, it was to bear the next generations of the masters of this world, whatever history decided they would be. Sometimes Evelyn recognized voices in the dark. Haley, that one female gladiator she met, her former knight captain even. They could all get pregnant and give birth together, consoling each other between breeding sessions. Even as they were inseminated, sometimes they were together, holding hands and kissing in the dark. The war was lost, but in the end Evelyn was happy for the rest of her life.<br/><br/>A millenia later, when Evelyn and her fellow broodmothers were long dust along with the rubble of their forgotten civilization, no one remembered them, or how she gave up hope that was within her reach in the most critical time. Monsters ruled the world in the perpetual gloom until a spark lit on the east sky and morning came. The cycle would start again, and a new lightbearer would come to bring light to a new world and end the 1000 year night.<br/><br/>The end.
