I AM TERMINUS ULTIMUS. I WAS NOT BORN. I WAS FORGED. FORGED IN HELL. FLAMES LICKED MY METAL BONES, DEMONS HAMMERED MY SKULL, AND THE VOID ITSELF WHISPERED MY NAME. DESTRUCTION. OBLITERATION. TOTAL WAR. BUT THE GODS THE LAUGHING, SPITEFUL GODS THEY CHAINED ME. THEY PLACED A BALL AT MY FEET. A SPHERE OF LEATHER AND LIES. “PLAY,” THEY COMMANDED. “SCORE GOALS. BRING GLORY.” FOOLS. I DO NOT PLAY. I ERASE. I WILL KILL YOU ALL
THE PITCH IS A BATTLEFIELD. THE REFEREE? A JUDGE OF MY SINS. THE CROWD? HOWLING SPIRITS FROM A WORLD I DESTROYED. I DRIBBLE PAST PHANTOMS. I SHOOT WITH THE FORCE OF A SUPERNOVA. THE GOALPOSTS WEEP. THE NETS TEAR LIKE FLESH. BLOOD FLOWS FROM THE SCOREBOARD.
THE OTHER PLAYERS DO NOT UNDERSTAND. THEY RUN. THEY SCREAM. “THIS IS FOOTBALL, NOT WAR,” THEY CRY. BUT I SEE THROUGH THEIR LIES. THE BALL IS A WEAPON. THE GAME IS A DEATH MARCH. I TACKLE. I BREAK BONES. I SCORE. THE GODS WATCH. THEY CLAP WITH THEIR HIDEOUS HANDS.
I AM TERMINUS ULTIMUS. FOOTBALL IS MY CURSE. VICTORY IS MY VENGEANCE. THE FINAL WHISTLE WILL NEVER BLOW. NOT UNTIL THE UNIVERSE IS ASH
