Despair and Outcome
Ashton stood there, watching as the Holy Spirit disappeared into thin air. He knew that it was not the end of their encounter. The Holy Spirit had made its intentions clear - it was here to restore balance to the cosmos, and Ashton could not let that happen. He knew that he had to confront the Holy Spirit head-on.
The terms it used might sound pleasant, but since it came from a Celestial, then there is no doubt that its plans would cause harm to the citizens of Elstar, and Ashton couldn't just let that happen. Not now when he's this close to the completion of his mission.
With a deep breath, he closed his eyes and focused his mind. He could feel the magical energy coursing through his veins, and he summoned all his power, ready for the battle ahead.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself standing in a vast, featureless plain. In the distance, he could see the Holy Spirit, its form glowing with a bright, unearthly light.
