On Roanoke Island Klarion places a gem in the ground, which he uses to form a magical pentagram and summon four more sorcerers: Wotan, Felix Faust, Wizard and Blackbriar Thorn. The group begins chanting a spell that splits the world into two, one for adults and the other for children. The spell work splitting the world into two, but suddenly the spell was dispelled putting everything back as it was.

“Alright who messed up?” Klarion asked looking around at the other magic users.

Teekl his cat familiar gave out a hiss as she was grabbed out of Klarion’s hands and thrown into a large mirror that wasn’t there before. Klarion’s eyes widen as Jeffro having just taken care of his familiar grab him by his neck and carried him into the mirror. Behind them the four magic user villains are attack by the Avengers who came with their boss.

Inside the mirror -

“Really splitting the world into two?” Jeffro asked as he held Klarion by his neck.

“You… YOU!” The witch boy's face had twisted, sharpened in demonic traits, blood red pearls for eyes that bespoke a nameless fury. “What is one of your kind doing here?”

“Making sure you’re not going to be causing trouble for a very long time,” Jeffro said dropping the witch boy who tried to use his magic but found nothing.

“What did you do?” Klarion asked sweating upon finding himself without his magic.

“Not me. You really should look around you and see where we are and who is keeping you from using your powers,” Jeffro said.

Klarion looks around and pales upon seeing where they are. A all but empty realm that is full of mirrors, from small compact mirrors to ones that seem to fill the otherwise empty realm. And there are rats, millions of rats all watching, from behind the mirror frames and out in the open.

“For those who are just tuning in, the thing that just happen where the adults disappeared for the kids and the kids disappearing for the adults. Was caused by Klarion here who looks like a boy but is really millions of years old chaos lord, helped by four other villains, Wotan, Felix Faust, Wizard and Blackbriar Thorn who are being taken care of by the Avengers. I undid the spell before much harm could be done that a world without adults would had done to the children. And now I’m making sure Klarion won’t be causing a mess for a very long time,” Jeffro said to one of the camera pods he brought along with him that are broadcasting live. 

“You brought us here? Do you know what she’s capable of doing to either of us?” Klarion asked looking around for his cat. 

“I know and it’s the reason why no one has ever bother to escape to here,” Jeffro said as he brings two giant mirrors that shows the demon lord Trigon and the new god Yuga Khan two of the most powerful entities of evil. 

“What’s this?” Yuga Khan asked finding himself able to move once again.

“Mirror magic?” Trigon asked peering through the mirror.

“Just showing Klarion here how bad he’s in for when you two being two of the biggest bads around. Trigon the terrible demon lord and Yuga Khan or Zonuz the last of the old gods, the god of evil and torment. Who have a way to free yourselves out of your prisons won’t dare come through the mirror portals right in front of you and enter the realm of Despair of the Endless.,” Jeffro explains causing both evil entities to jerk back from their mirrors. 

“You brought that chaos lord to her realm?” Trigon asked.

“What better way to make him feel utter despair losing all hope then bringing him to the one who is despair made flesh?” Jeffro asked.

“Few would even dare think let alone doing what you have done,” Yuga Khan said.

“It’s been a long time since I had anyone but family visiting my realm,” a dark voice said causing all but Jeffro to feel dread.

Stepping out from behind a mirror is a figure that cause making to shield their eyes upon seeing the female. Short, fat and ugly, gray skinned, with sullen eyes, goes around naked. Impulsively tearing at her skin with a hooked ring, the sign of her office. The Endless known as Despair, who carried a cage holding Teekl who is mewing as she huddles up scared.

“I brought you a toy to play around with,” Jeffro said while Klarion is openly weeping seeing her. (1)

“Yes this will be entertaining,” Despair smiles as she walks up to Klarion and trace her ring hook on his face, 

“Make sure his despair be legendary and your tab is pair in full,” Jeffro said.

“I will,” Despair said smiling sweetly at Klarion that only made him more fearful of her.

“Also I would think you would have more visitors. You are the holder of the Infinity Gauntlet,” Jeffro said.

“None dare to come,” Despair said.

“The what?” Trigon asked confused like Yuga Khan.

“You two never heard of the Infinity Gauntlet? The gems, the crown or the necklace that goes with it?” Jeffro asked and was met with confused looks. He turns to Despair. “You and the others have told people about the items the Presence gave your family for safe keeping?” 

“I did before a long time ago,” Despair said.

“Well I should spread the news,” Jeffro said broadcasting the event further out into space. 

From the Green Lantern world to the worlds of the new gods, many began getting a signal coming from mirrors. 

“After the creation of the universe the Presence created items of power that would give the wearing his power. The Infinity items, will only work when they’re brought together and only when the trials to get them are pass. Given to the Endless for safe keeping. The gauntlet that is held by Despair being the only thing that can handle the power of the gemstones. There are six gems each having a different power and held by an Endless, Desire has the Power gem, Delirium has the Reality gem, Destiny has the Mind gem, and Death has the Soul gem. The Time gem and Space gems are held by their parents, Time and Mother Night. Then there is the Necklace of Creation held by Destruction it allows the holder of the gauntlet to be able to understand how to use their new found powers and to master it. And the crown is the Crown of Imagination held by Dream, gives the wearer the creativity and imagination to do anything,” Jeffro explains. 

Both overlords of evil stared in shock of the power the items held and what they could do with it. Across the universe others have the same thought. 

“Of course the problem is that you have to get past whatever trials the Endless have in store for the item they have and how hard it is to even find a way to their realms in the first place. And stealing said item will just have the Endless you stolen from being able to do what they like, no longer bond by the rules that are only known to them that limits their power and what they can do. Which are pretty objects till you pass the trial and have them all together,” Jeffro said and looks to Despair. “How many have gotten pass your trial and went ahead to collect the gems?”

“None have ever gotten pass my trial,” Despair said.

“Well that explains why no one has heard about it,” Jeffro said. “You took care of everyone who knew about it. And the ones who didn’t just either kept it to themselves or no one believe them.”

“You have spread the tale, there be those who will come and find their way to my realm,” Despair said.

“And most will end up like the ones who failed,” Jeffro said opening a portal. “I’ll take my leave now and let you have your fun.”

“I never got to play host to a chaos lord before,” Despair said staring at the shaking form of Klarion. 

“Oh yes. This is something that no one should see,” Jeffro said looking at the camera pods and turn to Trigon and Yuga Khan. “As for you two, both of you would be taking notes. And before I sigh off, remember I’m one of those all powerful bystanders who really don’t do much or answer the call of action. Bit doesn’t mean I won’t when someone thinks it be fun to split the world into two like Klarion did. And now he’s going to be the play thing for Despair who is the master of bringing despair to anyone and is rightly feared because of it. After all if Yuga Khan the father of Darksied, and is far more evil and powerful than his son. And Trigon the terrible one of the strongest demon lords ever. Both have a way to escape from their prisons and only have to enter Despair’s realm to do so, and won’t. It means they know that they have no chance against her in her realm. Of course she can be killed but they’re old enough to remember what happen last time one of the Endless were killed and rather wait for another time for a chance of escape then have what happen to the one who killed the first Despair happen to them.” (2)

The feed turn off and Jeffro left the realm. leaving Klarion with Despair who closed in on him and sank her ring hook into his eye. Which Klarion would think back as a happier time compared to what Despair did to him afterwords.
