The attack upon the camp went as Raije had planned it. The armies of Malachive that tried to protect him fell to Kadiyas Angel Araadul and to Devions Demon Gohrlex, both of which were obviously upset at being around each other.

Raije watched on. He showed no emotion.

Kadiya and Devion stood side by side, interfering in the battle only when their servant became out numbered. Just when it seemed all was lost for Malachive's army, Malachive came out of hiding.

"And so this moment is finally upon us" Malachive said as if he had been waiting for this to occur for a very long time. "I will not go willingly and I will not go slowly. I hope you both know this."

Just as Malachive spoke, Raije stormed down the mountain towards him. Malachive’s eyes grew from confident to fearful and he began to fumble his next few words.

"Abohorrants, repay your debt to me! Attack these servant and these Gods that oppose us!"

From the shadows appeared Deathmeere and the two other Abhorrants freed from their prison only a few years ago.

The two Abhorrants attacked the Demon Gohrlex first. Deathmeere attacked the Angel Araadul. The image of Deathmeere tearing off an Angels wings before killing it easily for all of the Gladiator fans to see raced through Kadiyas mind as she went toward Araadul trying to assist him in the battle with Deathmeere, the most dangerous of the three Abhorrants.

Devion stood and watched. Malachive dissolved into the pile or snow in some sort of transportation spell. Raije stopped and remained still looking around as if he were about to get ambushed.

The battle with the Abhorrants was extremely one sided in favor of the Abhorrants. The demon Gohrlex was getting completely obliterated by the Abhorrants. Devion remained still and offered no aid to his demon. His mind and thus his attention were on Kadiya who along with her Angel Araadul were fighting for their lives against Deathmeere.

Deathmeere grabbed the angel by his wings and begin to tear as the Angel shrieked out in agony. Kadiya closed her eyes and thrust her hands out towards Deathmeere and a blinding light of white energy shot from her hands into the Abhorrant Deathmeere. Deathmeere cradled down to one knee and then turned translucent as the energy passed through him. Kadiya stopped and looked just long enough for Deathmeere to turn solid and run upon Kadiya sending a thundering punch to the Goddesses face, sending her to the ground.

Blood flowed from her nostrils.

"The Goddess Bleeds" Deathmeere said loudly. "She will die here today." Deathmeere pounded his fists into Kadiyas face over and over as blood spat over the Abhorrants arms and fists.

Devion watched and did nothing.

Deathmeere wrapped his hands around the Goddesses neck and began to squeeze it, hoping to snap her neck.

Devion watched and did nothing but turned to see the Demon Gohrlexs back being broken to the other two Abhorrants. As the demon died, Devion turned his attention back to Kadiya.

"They call our kind the God slayers for a reason! You are mortal here upon Algoron and you will die here today on Algoron!" Yelled Deathmeere.

Deathmeere lifted Kadiya into the air and with a great roar began to squeeze the neck of Kadiya as tight as he could. From nowhere, the bloodied Angel Araadul dove into Deathmeere and sent him into the ground. The angel sent several punches to Deathmeeres face. The sight of an Angel in such a rage was a rare one and it made Raije smile as he scanned over, still waiting for a sign of Malachive.

Deathmeere took the Angels punches one after another and then slowly began to grin. Deathmeere slammed his two hands together over the Angels ears making a thundering noise and Araadul fell to the ground gripped his head in agony. Deathmeere stood and placed his foot upon Araaduls neck and began to shift his weight and his strength upon it. Kadiya rose and leapt at Deathmeere. The Goddesses struck the Abhorrant with fury that no one, mortal or God alike had even seen from the Goddess of Peace. Deathmeere flew into the air with such force that he seemed to carry on forever into the air and disappeared in the distance. Kadiya dropped to her knees in complete exhaustion. Both she and her angel were unable to move much from their injuries.

Devion turned to look at Raije who was now fighting the two remaining Abhorrants. Raije had sent his axe into the head of one Abhorrant, killing it where he stood and had grasp upon the other. Devion walked over to Kadiya calmly and knelt down beside her and began to speak. "You are a much more brave woman than I have ever given you credit for" Devion said with some emotion in his voice. "You fought bravely and you fought well."

Kadiya attempted to smile at Devion, but she was too weak to do so. She laid there, her blood stained face looking at Devion weakly as he caressed her hair.

A loud *CRACK* jolted everything around the area.

Even Raije and the Abhorrant stopped fighting. Then, Raijes Balanx Amethenius appeared out thin air, startled by what he has just seen, unable to write it down.

Devions hands left Kadiyas neck. Her limp head falling to the ground first followed by her lifeless body. Devion had broken Kadiyas neck.

"You killed her!" Cried out the balanx Amethenius.

Devion stood slowly while staring at the corpse of the Goddess.

Raije himself stood in disbelief. The remaining abhorrant that he was fighting fled from the scene as soon as he noticed Raijes attention was on Devion and Kadiyas corpse.

Devion grinned and looked upon the Balanx. Devion's eyes were tearing up, yet his smile remained stone like. "You’re going to be one hell of a busy Balanx now, aren’t you? Youre about to document the greatest war that ever existed and I started it!"

Noticing Raije approaching, Devion quickly leapt into the air and flew up into the heavens, leaving Algoron as quick as he possibly could.

Raije looked emotionless at the corpse and then picked her up gently.

Looking at his Balanx Amethenius, Raije spoke.

"Record this event, servant. Share this event with all. A God War has now begun and the mortals need to know that it was Evil that started it. I will take her home to Austinian and then I will consult Kwainin so that I know where we are to stand in the events that come."

Raije rose into the air gently and then carried Kadiya into the air and returned her home.

Just as he was gone, Malachive walked as if out of nowhere and stood behind the Balanx. Malachive thrust his hand into Ametheniuss back and removed its heart from the Balanxs body. Amethenius fell to the ground lifeless. Malachive then leaned down and picked up the Balanxs book, which faded before Malachive could do anything with it.

Malachive smirked before hearing a rustling in the snow.

The Angel Araadul tried to rise but his body was too broken and he was in too much pain.

Malachive smiled and approached the downed angel.

"I know that you can already feel what happened to your Goddess and while I could easily kill you now, there is something very satisfactory about having an Angel trapped on Algoron with no Goddess to serve. Your misery will be both entertaining and well deserved. The War between all of the Gods is well deserved. I hope they ALL kill each other. I hope they ALL do their work for me. Enjoy the next moments of your pathetic life, Angel, no matter how painful it is. This world as you know it is about to burn."
