The runes read:
[Thus spoke Weaver
"They will open the Gates"
And they did
Calling forth doom and destruction upon us
Now, in the ruins
Gods lay dead
And the daemons have fallen
The Forgotten One comes
Wide awake
To consume them].
The rest were ineligible.
Sunny shivered.
'No, wait...‘
What did it mean? They had opened the Gates? Who had opened them, and which Gates? Not... not the Gates of the Void, surely?
That was impossible. If the Gates had already been opened, and the Forgotten God had already escaped from the Void, wide awake, then there would have been no existence left. Everything would have been consumed by Corruption.
But it wasn't... yet. Which meant that he was still asleep, seeing nightmares.
And yet, the runes clearly stated that someone had indeed unleashed the God of Corruption. Not only that, but Weaver had even foretold that they would.
'Gods lay dead, and the daemons have fallen...‘
Was that the answer to the question that had been tormenting Sunny? The question of who had won the Doom War?
According to these runes...
No one had? Both sides had been annihilated?
How could that be?
Had it been mutual destruction, or had someone killed them all? If neither side had won, then who had?
Suddenly, a chill ran down Sunny's spine.
He looked down, at the familiar string of runes written in a different script from the rest of them.
"Hail Weaver, Demon of Fate. Firstborn of the Forgotten God."
He suddenly had an ominous feeling.
Everyone assumed that there had been two sides in the war between the gods and the daemons... but was that really true? After all, there had been one deity that had refused to participate, standing in opposition to both the gods and the daemons.
The Demon of Fate.
So, if both sides had been annihilated... then wouldn't it mean that there was only Weaver left?
Sunny suddenly remembered the description of Bone Weave...
[When children of the Forgotten God rebelled against the gods, Weaver was the only one to refuse the call of war. Despised and hunted by both sides, they disappeared. No one knew where Weaver went and what they did... until it was too late.]
Until it was too late.
Unnerved, Sunny took a deep breath.
'...What the hell did Weaver do?’
