We have to distrust each other. It's our only defense against betrayal. - Tennessee Williams

This is a continuation of the story. We are getting closer towards the end now.

Right now things have moved to a more artistic and peaceful setting. In a cold, tall room which has several platforms needed to cross in order to get towards the top. None are particular happy, but all are very determined and they speed up. Getting closer and closer, however, one gap in particular is so wide that they need to throw each other to get past. The sub-protagonist and the support characters are the two ones that are quick enough to get over on their own, so they do that. It is during this moment, that the protagonist does notice that the support character is acting kind of strange. This worries him, but suddenly a sick smile is shown as the support character, on the other side of a rather large gap stabs and kills the sub-protagonist character. This unexpected betrayal makes the protagonist enraged.

Questions are thrown each way, the sidekick/support character reveals himself to be much more able than before. Before all this, he had always been somewhat clumsy and unreliable, bringing in more trouble than what he was worth, it was all however a play on his side, this he makes quite crystal clear. The protagonist, faced by a large gap is by now fuming. The support character after a long conversation which he in a sick way seemed to enjoy leaves giving the following message. " You and I are all the same".

He works his way towards the top, what was a cold blue light have now turned dark red. There is absolutely no mercy left in him as it has been replaced with a powerful rage. Before reaching the top he finds what seems to be an altar of some kind, a rather large room. Here he sees the sub-antagonist stand. His back turned towards him. However, it was clear he knew that his presence was here.

" I must congratulate you. You have successfully dismantled the infrastructure that torn this nation apart for several years, yet kept us safe. The nations we have been feuding against will see this weakness and now strike, soon, nothing but death and decay will grace this land. Was our system cruel? Of course it was, but it worked and we were so close to world domination, but, I guess the hearts of man never will gift their neighbor with peace, neither despot nor statesmen. Power corrupts all who touch it, but it feels right, even now at our final encounter, it all feels right".

They talk for a short period of time, but surprisingly, there is no hate from the protagonist or the sub-antagonist. The one that was behind all the slaughters. However, there is a common agreement that only one can stay on this world, the other has to go.

The sub-protagonist goes for his signature move, to rush ahead and pull out the heart of his opponent before he has time to react. However, to the protagonist, this all seems slow and predictable, he manages not only to block, but to counter. It was slow, much slower than expected. The fight goes on and proves hard, but manageable for the protagonist. The antagonist combines the grace of his rapier while unflinching determination, however something seems to be slowing him down. More and more during the course of the battle. A critical hit is finally thrown upon him, by the protagonist which without mercy stabbed him with his own rapier. Only to find that another wound was present. The sub-antagonist goes to the floor. He seems very satisfied. The madness was coming to a close. He reveals to the protagonist that the main antagonist was indeed considered a God before, and had been choosing both civics and rule from earlier days. Only today the modern technology had nearly overthrown him as his powers was limited. Beyond the gates was the road into the immortal city, the one which only a single legendary warrior had entered before him.
