The End...

THE END...

[When the Titled wake up next, it's to void darkness.

There is nearly nothing left after what has happened, save for the blackness. Save for themselves, the Dragonborn and Serana as they hold each other, the Thalmor prisoner (who is clearly in shock), the body of the dragon they had attacked in the distance, the tower in the even further distance...

and an old man, sitting on nothing, clapping wildly.]

Bravo! Bravo!! Encore!! That was just amazing.

[Confetti starts to fill the air. It catches fire mid-way to the..ground. Whatever counts as ground now.]

Nothing like a good old world-ending riot, I always say! You all deserve an award for ending the universe as I knew it. Have some bread!

[Bread that looks like Papyrus' pops into their hands. It smells like chicken and god only knows what it tastes like.]

Go on, have a bite!

[This was probably not what anyone was expecting when the world ended.]

Comments

[carries_war]

[Once he's done crushing Yusuke's poor ribs, Jr. walks over to McBurn and...gives him a solid punch to the side.]

What's the big idea, dying all heroically without giving us a chance to say goodbye?

[almightyconflagration]

[Yeah, and he probably deserves that.]

Blame the invisible bitch for that one.

[carries_war]

Can't. She's already dead, so you'll just have to take the punishment for her!

[Another punch. It's pretty obvious to someone who's fought him before that he's not going all out.]

[almightyconflagration]

[And Jr. may well recall that McBurn never did comment about sparring after that trial.]

You know, if you keep that up I'll have to punch you back.

[carries_war]

You can try. I've got fourteen years' more training than the last time we fought.

[Punch!]

[almightyconflagration]

Yeah, and I've probably still got plenty more training than you do.

[So yeah, now he's going to go ahead and punch back.]

[carries_war]

[And he's going to dodge, laughing. It's a bit easier to get out of the way of an attack when you know it's coming.]

I dunno, I've been at this since I could walk. Not many people can say that.

[almightyconflagration]

[And it was probably obvious enough that McBurn wasn't really trying that hard.]

My actual powers manifested quite early and I'm older than I look. Just a shame those were taken away.

[But he'll actually make a better attempt at punching this time.]

[carries_war]

[This time it clips Jr. on the shoulder, but he doesn't seem to care. He just aims a playful kick back.]

Heh, that makes two of us. We could probably use the Tower to get our powers back, but I'm not sure that's a good idea until we're done here. I dunno if we'll still be able to use it if we undo the Mantling somehow.

[almightyconflagration]

Oh, that woman mentioned that. Said it was something like we were possessing some Princes. Also told us to tell someone named Alexis the Evergloam awaits them, whatever that meant.

[And he's going to dodge that kick and instead attempt his own.]

Hmm, would be nice if I could get my sword somehow. Haven't been able to summon it since arriving and that would be tolerable if I can't have my fire.

[carries_war]

That woman...was her name 'Elenwen'?

[He's going to block that kick and push forward in an attempt to knock McBurn off balance.]

[almightyconflagration]

She didn't mention her name. Only other thing she mentioned was a deal with the Intercessor for protection. She opened some doors and we walked through and came out here.

[And throwing McBurn off balance isn't going to be an easy task. Definitely isn't working as of now and he's seeming to just find the attempt amusing.]
