The body laughs as it looks over it’s new form, “Oh yeah, that’s more like it!”
Beast takes a step back in shock, “What are you?”
The body grabs it’s weapon, and uses the crystal spear’s reflection to look upon itself, “I, or we, are a combination of Sombra Noche and Ravens Breath. Call us, Noven.”
Beast tries to take advantage of Noven’s distraction. He stabs forward with his blade, expecting to meet the warm flesh of the body. His attack is instead caught by the scythe head of the halberd.
Noven tosses the blade away from Beast, and throws it’s weapon as soon as it is level. The entire sword splits in half as the spear goes right through it like butter. Noven rushes into Beast’s face within a nanosecond, “Tonto incompetente! Did you really think you could strike us like that?!”
Beast quickly backs away, “You cannot do a thing! The fire shall come to me!”
Noven laughs uproariously, “Do you not know who we are? Your fire is ours!” Noven simply snaps, and the fires in the room change color. They go from their regular red to green, “You hold nothing over us. We are Noven, King of Shadows, Death given form, Lord of Laughter, Lord of Unity, Specter of Darkness, the Conflagration among Flame!”
Beast staggers forward, “And I am the Beast!”
Noven stops his advance, “Is that so? But a beast means naught if there is no prey. There is nothing to hunt, for we are the ápice depredador. You are our prey!”
He doesn’t back down, “I do not fear you! I am eternal, I am the beginning and the end, I am potential! This world dared to hate us, Raven! I am strong enough to stand up against them and hit back! I-“
“Fool!” Noven growls, “You think you know anything about the end?”
He takes a step back, “I am the only one who can know!”
Noven starts to march forward, “You know nothing! You were unworthy, and you will never be any different!” Noven stops in his tracks, “We can see that now. We tried to make an outcome where the two of us can live in harmony and unity. It has become clear that the two options offered are the only two. Prepare, Beast, for you will not have the satisfaction of an afterlife.”
Beast tries to be confident once more, “You will not kill me! You shall die!” He summons another blade, and charges.
Noven holds out his hand, and a large purple book appears in it. In their magical grasp they hold a quill. They begin to write.
Beast misses his hit, instead tripping on the spot. He looks at the odd magical aura surrounding him, “What are you doing!?”
Noven continues writing as he speaks, “Writing the ending. Edis could only read from this book, being a lowly God. We, however, control it. The ending is set, but we can change what happens up to then.”
Beast scrambles away, trying to climb out of himself, “What do you mean!?”
Noven smiles, “Everything that is currently happening only is happening because we are writing it. Everything happening at this very moment is controlled by our quill. For example. ‘Everything being revealed to Beast caused his mind to nearly break.’ Now, observe.”
Everything being revealed to Beast caused his mind to nearly break. His fate being controlled by a simple book seemed like an impossibility. He refused to accept it, yet he had to.
It would even break the mind of Noven. But, when they exit from this state of ascension, they will not remember the specifics of their victory. They will instead believe that Noven killed the Beast with their halberd.
“The giant skeleton was suddenly defeated as Discord summoned the Infinity Gauntlet and snapped it out of existence. Brass managed to stun Saeva for a second, and punched through his neck with the power hoof at one hundred. It killed Saeva instantly. The dragons of the Beast’s army all fell as the Dovahkin let loose a single shout, forcing them to obey him and pass. The skeletons all collapsed as Beast drew the power back into him. But, it was too much. With a simple flick of the halberd, Beast was slain. The world left in peace, left to morn for the tragic losses of the battle. The world will struggle to overcome this near extinction once more, but they will manage. For they are not just Rangers, Enclave, or Sparrows. They are not just Orcs, Men, Elves, and Dwarves. They are not separate anymore, for they realize a simple fact. Unity is the way to advance, and those who gave their lives will not have them be given in vain. They will unite into one, if not in name, then in everything else. The Confederation of Harmony, the Empire, Drayden. They will stay together in the future days. They shall rebuild. And they shall repel any threat that comes against them.”

Noven finally separate into their regular forms. Raven and Sombra lay on the ground, alive, but exhausted. Outside, all cheer as the battle ends. Louis and Sweetie Belle find the two within the tower, and take them to be healed.
The sun rises and the moon sets, the world back to normal. At least, what normal could be these days.
This is not the end of this world, no, this is only the prequel. The most important fight has yet to come. Raven May have reached the end of his power arc, but he still has many emotional scars to be healed.
One once said that there is nothing to be done when destiny calls. But, such is wrong. Endings are not singular, nay, they are many. Never bow when you can rise.
Death never changes. A payment is always due to the reaper, a payment none can escape except the reaper himself. Death may never change, so it is up to the life within to change for it.
Change comes on the back of many. A bird can only carry so much alone.
Unity is what will carry the world forward. And this world stands united behind a single leader. From now until Infinity rises again.
