Chapter 38 - Pissing People Off

Prophecy:

Order rises from its chains,

End cannot be restrained,

Heroes of the past face ancient evil,

The cost of life shall stop upheaval.

Allies will be unmasked,

And Death will be tasked.

Theron looked back at the dual between Mercy and End just in time to see Mercy get knocked unconscious by the flat of End's blade. Theron could not believe it, he had been alive for over eight hundred years, and yet he had not lost a single battle. Yet here he was, five minutes into their fight against Order and End, and their ranks were falling apart quicker than sand. With every second that passed, two men fell. He turned to see Chaos and Void both unconscious, with Order standing victoriously over their broken bodies.

When he saw that, he made a quick and fatal decision. Clenching his fist, he dropped his sword and shouted at the top of his lungs;

"I surrender." 

Now

"You heard me," Theron shouted at End, who had a smug look on his face. He put his hands up in the air for him to see. "I. Surrender."

End smiled, showing his perfect teeth. "A wise decision, Commander. Your choice will not go unnoticed."

Stardust, who was holding one hand over her wounded shoulder, was staring at him in shock, mouth agape, and a hurt look in her eyes. Theron had to turn away to avoid the hunter's eyes. He kept his focus on End, and not on the soldiers of Chaos who all looked upon their Commander in confusion.

End walked toward Theron, a smile still plastered on his face. At the snap of the Primordial's fingers, a long, heavy chain appeared in End's hands, and he quickly made work of tying Theron's hands behind his back. The Commander instantly felt his powers drain as soon as the chains touched him. However, despite the fact that his sword was on the ground, and his hands were bound behind his back, he still stared at End with defiant eyes.

"Theron!" Stardust seemed to finally find her voice. "What the Hades are you doing?!"

Theron didn't respond. Instead, he let End push him into the waiting grasp of a cyclops. The cyclops grinned happily at the Commander, and Theron had to hold his breath to hide his gag from the disgusting scent of the monster. He had obviously never heard of a bath before.

The cyclops had a strong grip on both of his arms, preventing him from moving. "Seriously, man," Theron gagged as he was forced to breathe in the rancid odor of the cyclops. "Have you never bathed before?"

The cyclops frowned and raised an arm to hit him, but he was stopped by End. "Stop!" he hissed, smacking the cyclops' hand down. "He shall not be harmed." End cleared his throat and turned to the armies that were still staring at Theron, watching him in shock. "Your Commander surrendered! You have lost your most powerful ally! Surrender now, and you will be granted mercy!"

End watched in expectation, waiting for the first soldier to step forward and present him their sword. A minute passed, and his grin turned into a frown as he realized that none of the soldiers would step forward. His face turned into one of anger, and he turned back toward Theron. "It appears that none of your soldiers are willing to join you. Are they really that disloyal to you?"
