Alex felt as though his mind was moving through molasses. Each thought came late, each reaction delayed by seconds. He could only helplessly watch as the Sun God improved his spirit by the second, getting closer to forming into a full-on Creation and taking over his body.
As it progressed, Alex felt his mind slipping away, mere moments away from fully vanishing. At that point, the Sun God would take over completely, and everything that was Alex would be gone.
As the darkness came closer, Alex couldn't help but remember the prophecy that had always foretold his death.
You hold the Key to a fallen power. You shall help restore that power, and that shall be your death.
He held the Sun God's body, helping the Sun God restore his power, and that was going to be his death. Despite knowing for so long how he was going to die, Alex couldn't believe that it was really happening. In some ways, he had always believed the prophecies to be false, at least when it came to him.
