Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-27950421-20180714232138

(This canonish MGE, no Reptile King, no super gods like Aro, no travelers from other dimensions with super technology, nobody who can just fix everything. you get the idea)

It was a day that the world would never forget. The day the gods learned fear. You had been a paladin of the order. One of the best. Your kingdom had put out some of the strongest heroes to ever rise against the demon hordes. Druella herself had come to stop you, bringing her atmies and lay siege to your home. You had prepared yourself for a glorious battle, one where you would pierce the heart of the demon lords daughter with cold steel.

Then it happened. A mad sorcerer appeared behind the demons army. He proclaimed an end to the petty squabbling of the demon lord and chief god. He proclaimed that he would bring forth the true king. Perhaps he was right. As he cast his terrible spell, the very fabric of existence was torn asunder.

What came forth was something like the world had never seen. It's size alone marked as a divine being, akin to the titans of old who birthed the gods. It's foot steps shattered the earth beneath it. It's voice shook the heavens. It was the beasts eyes that you remembered best though. Even from miles away you see them. Glowing orbs unlike anything you had seen, filled with a primordial intelligence, and an unyielding rage.

Druellas hordes reacted quickly. Dragons, Harpies, and Demons took to the sky to fight back before their compatriots could be crushed under heel. But it was a futile endeavor. The beast opened its toothy jaws, and in flash of pale blue, they were gone. Not even ashes remained. Druella herself took to the air to face the beast, calling for her armies to retreat, but the creature right behind them, they had only one direction to run, right towards your city.

Your men, shocked and paniced at the arrival of this beast put up little resistance as the equally paniced mamono swarmed over the wall. Though mamono did not attack, if anything, most seemed more concerned with grabbing and carrying everyone they could to safety.

Despite your hatred, you had to commend Druella for her valor and skill in this battle. Her blows sounding like the crack of thunder, her wings carrying her between the monsters teeth, claws, and the azure death it breathes. Seeing it could only prove to you that you never truly had a hope of ending her life. It would have been impressive had it done anything. Instead she only seemed to antagonize it, failing to wound it at all. Instead the beast thrashed about as if trying to swat an annoying fly. Still in hindsight she bought everyone quite a lot of time.

The baphomets and witches of the demon army acted quickly, opening a portals leading to far, far away and for the first time in memorable history, the Order and Demon Armies worked together, shuttling as many people through as possible. You remained as the last to flee, to ensure that everyone made it through, as any honorable general should. As the last few make their escape, you hear a thunderous blow and Druella comes crashing through a nearby building.

She rises out of the wreckage and calls out to her baphomet lieutenant, "Take everyone that's left and leave!"

She turns to face the beast, "This monster dies."

She called forth an immense amount of power, enough to shatter a mountain, enough to monsterize an empire, and unleashed it upon the beast. For a moment you think that she won. The irony of having placed your hope in a lilim almost being lost on you. However as you go through the portal, you look back. What you saw would haunt you till the end of days.

Druella had not been seen from again after that. Word of the beasts rampage travels quickly. Apparently Poseidon had attempted to stop it when it entered the sea on it's march towards Zinpangu, she barely escaped with her life. You can only pity the easterners.

Weeks later you are approached by a baphomet, bringing news of a the Chief God and Demon Lord had come together, trying form a united front to stop this beast and that you were wanted you to take part in experimental program to grant a single entity the blessings of the your goddess and the Demon Lord. Rumor has it neither of the two would face the beast themselves. That they were too afraid.

What do you do?
