into the nothing

Who: Everyone
What: Jagannatha makes his move, and the game begins.
Where: Everywhere
When: Saturday, June 11

It was time. The preparations had finally been completed. Alexandria was completed.

Darkness sprang forth from the Hearts of Worlds, Denizens of Light, and the Denizens of Darkness celebrated. Those of the Light - Key Bearers, "Refugees," and civilians alike - all began to succumb. Few would be allowed to remain.

The era of Light was over, each and every one of his subjects knew. This was their time to shine, ironic as it may be. And they could do nothing to stop it.

It was, all in all, turning out to be an excellent day.

It felt like H-Day and the loss of Radiant Garden all over again. Despite all Ren had done to try and find a way to stop the encroaching darkness, it was once again taking over. She had felt both fear and a desperate need to cling to hope the first two times. Now, she just embraced a state of cold fury. Jagannatha wanted to play that way? Fine.

She had seen enough people get sucked through the dark portals to know that fighting it was futile. So she used what time she had to prepare. Laptop, first aid kit, potions, water, nonperishable food. Key necklace, Wayfinder, the rosary her father had given her. Nailbat, Reflect-imbued knitting needles, staff, Alexander's summon gem.

"Do not go gentle into that good night," Ren recited quietly when a ring of darkness appeared under her feet. "Rage, rage against the dying of the light!"

As the darkness began to pull her in, she let out a Valkyrie howl and called on Alexander. She didn't know for sure what lay on the other side, but she meant to give it one hell of a greeting when she got there.
