INTERLUDE: BURNING

It was a beyonder. An inhabitant of wild space, a child unit of the extra-dimentional beings that resided above the material plane.

Curiosity had led it to the planet Earth and entertainment had caused it to stay. The beyonder was amused with the inhabitants of the small planet. They were so varied and unique, each in its own way.

They were individual and contained a sense of self.

The concept of individuality was strange to the beyonder, to experience what the humans called self, it copied them. But could find nothing unique about itself. It was just a beyonder child unit, there was nothing unique or special about it, from where it came, there were many more exactly like it.

The beyonder was perplexed. It sought to understand the humans, perhaps then it would truly understand itself. But humans were illogical, it concluded.

They would constantly contradict themselves. They would like one thing and then hate that same thing the next minute. They preached of love and yet hated each other. They valued life and yet took it. Fearing death but knew they would all succumb to it, some would even beg for it.

It made the beyonder confused. Was constant contradiction unique? Was hypocrisy what made self? This line of thought was becoming inefficient for it. The beyonder wanted to be entertained.

It took the best parts of Earth that it liked, adding some features it had seen on the entertainment medium called TV and created a new world with it. It changed reality to please its whims, bending the fabric of matter to its desires. It made the ones called heroes and villains battle against each other in the new realm it called Battleworld.

Sometimes it would even allow them to fight against it. Those times made it laugh the most. The humans could do nothing to it, not their gods, their magics, their mutations, their technologies, nothing they had could stand against the beyonder who could bend reality and matter at anytime it wanted.

The beyonder enjoyed the power it wielded. It enjoyed the game, so much so that it did away with the consequences. First of which being death, the entity annoyed it, taking away its toys! What defiant audacity. No one can stop the beyonder's game, no one. So the beyonder in its childish anger and annoyance, erased the entity which dared to mock him even as it was cast into oblivion. A fundamental force of nature, was eradicated with naught but a thought. The child unit was happy, its entertainment could now continue uninterrupted.

*.*.*.*.*.*

Thanos the mad titan drove his double edge blade through the magus. The evil counterpart of Adam Warlock, ridding himself of the head that controlled the universal church of truth. Finally destroying the faith engines that dared challenge the rightful claim of death over her souls.

But then came the perplexion. Death was no longer by his side, he could no longer feel the cold caress of her lovingly slender fingers on his back. He could no longer hear her seductive silent whispers of love, nor could he see chilling beauty.

He reached for his connection to her, but like a man drawing at the end of a broken rope, it was empty. His lover was gone and not of her own will. The souls in her realm wailing at the disappearance of their mistress.

In his black, beating heart, an emotion that was long silent in the titan overwhelmed all others. It was –

Rage. A rage so pure it kicked up a power storm around him. His anger stewed the particles and burned through photons of light. The murderous aura rising from his body stained the world he stood on, reaching even through the material plane. His black order felt his anger, they prostrated and prayed. More so out of dreadful fear than fealty. Fear, not for their own well beings, but for what the being who had caused the titan to react in such a manner would soon face.

The titan humored the magus no longer. Without death, only oblivion remained and that was where the dismembered magus went. His soul corroding in the nothingness, an act so vile, wicked and malicious that it stained the natural order.
