   Summary

   "The trap had been set. The Dragonlord had the two deities right where he wanted them. All he truly needed was to keep the Goddess distracted, but with the God of Destruction with her, he was certain no one could stop him now. They would be too caught up in the little illusion to realize the truth. And if they did manage to escape, the Goddess would find her beloved creation in complete shambles."
