Fiction:Quietus

"Do you see the futility of trying now? The fate of the Gigaquadrant was written in the stars long before you or I came into existence, and at long last, it has come.

This purification has long since been halted by the likes of you, so permit me to smile in relief as your worlds burn. It has long since been a dream of mine."
