Gethe was defeated in the most painful way to date in his time conquering many dimensions. When he arrived in his realm of origin he could tell something was different. This was because his space was disturbed, another demon had dared to enter his piece of the abyss. The wards had been shredded by a powerful one at that. The dark one immediately used the spiritual resonance left behind by a very blatant enemy like a hound with a scent.
Gethe's gray hooves crunched along the roads of bone that acted as paths all over the abyss. The trail was easy to sense and led him to the sector commander of his area. It was a two story building of flesh branded with the owners name above the entryway. The current resident was an elder demon of madness that had held her post for about a thousand years. Ever since the last battle to establish the hierarchy of the abyss. This vicious cycle had been going on for ages as demons found any reason to redefine leadership. Gethe wasn't powerful enough at the time to do anything, but reach the status of greater demon after crushing any lesser being that desired the same.
As he stood on his enemies stoop outside the core of her strength he pulled the power he left scattered across the multi-verse over the past millennia effectively increasing his greatness. In Nirdor the dark clouds that covered the sun for almost thirty years dissipated allowing sunlight to kiss the landscape once more. The twenty four remaining celestial weapons awoke to set their realm to rights again. A war was coming but, this time it was for freedom not slavery. The snakes head was gone but, it would still struggle for some time. Other dimensions held particles of the demon of darkness. However, they were already destroyed, now they could finally recover. Aleris' residents indirectly saved seventy realms by defeating Gethe.
His power was greater than he calculated as he gathered all he could. Then he walked into his foes home after ripping her barrier apart. The female greeted him with the twisting of the fabric of reality expecting to at least slow him down. The lady of madness was wrong as the entire area was plunged into infinite darkness. While she attempted to locate him thru other senses Gethe grabbed her tail and ripped it off. She screamed in agony, but he wasn't done yet, and tore off both her wings in his next move. She was kneeling now quivering in pain, madness begged to serve darkness. "You won last time and made me your subordinate rather than absorbing me. I'll not make the same mistake." What was left of the lady of insanity was drained increasing his power exponentially.
Then the new sector leader sat his throne of bone and smiled. He liked being in control it was as it should be. However, being ruler of the abyss was so much more appropriate for his greatness. He called his minions of lesser demons and began making plans to take the throne of blood. The next war of succession had begun it could take years or even centuries. Gethe almost wanted to thank the weaklings that sent him back, maybe he would in time. Sinister laughter echoed in the hall of darkness.
