After the death of Xinef, the two remaining Masters, MrBlonde and kirchj33, went their separate ways. They traveled across the entire land of Elements, looking for other Masters who were still alive. But they both knew that there were none left. Not a single Master in the game had escaped the destruction.
As the days passed, MrBlonde and kirchj33 felt an inexplicable pull toward each other. It was not because the two old friends wanted to spend time together reminiscing about the golden days of Elements. No, it was because they both knew that one of them had to die.
There had been rumors that the old Master of Death was hiding in an abandoned cave, awaiting his final battle. After a long period of hesitation, kirchj33 decided to head over there. As he walked into the deepest part of the cave, he found a large stone blocking his path. In front of the stone was a note.
Hello, old friend.
From the day I met you, I knew you were different. The other Masters had such evil, tyrannical motives. They wanted to rule over the community as vengeful gods. They were going to ruin Elements just to prove their strength to everyone else. But not you, kirch. You were unlike all of the other Masters. You felt no hatred or malice, not even against a forum who had exiled you because of crimes you did not commit. You wanted to rebuild the Elements community instead of tearing it down. You were the only one of the Masters who I would trust to lead Elements into a brighter age.
The fate of the entire Elements community depended on your survival. In order to keep you safe from the rest of the Masters, I created the Shadow Master Syndicate. The whole purpose of the alliance was not for my own survival, but for yours. Yet, even that was not enough. When the Shadow Master Syndicate disbanded, some of the Masters wanted you killed. I had to stop them.
And so, I betrayed the members of the alliance I had once formed. I did so with the help of two of the most wicked Masters in all of Elements - xdude and Kael Hate - just so that I could eliminate the Masters who were after you. When xdude and Kael Hate tried to kill you, I betrayed them as well. After many more murders, all of the threats to the fate of Elements were removed. All but one.
Through my murders and betrayals, I too have become a tyrant. I abused my Power, solely to further my own goals. I now realize that I am no better than the Masters I tirelessly fought against. I have no place in the future of Elements.
By the time you read this message, the last of my Power will have left my body. I trust you to use it well.
- MrBlonde
When kirchj33 moved the heavy stone out of the way, he saw the dead body of MrBlonde on the floor. MrBlonde’s own sword, tipped in a lethal dose of Arsenic, dug deep into his heart. A cloud of silver energy, floating above the corpse, drifted into the body of kirchj33. He became completely reenergized and more Powerful than ever before. Yet he felt sad for all the Masters who had died. Most of all, he felt sad for the ultimate sacrifice made by MrBlonde, all for the future of the Elements community.
With a tear in his eye, kirchj33 set off on his journey to rebuild Elements. It would be difficult and tiresome, but he was the only one who could get the job done. For kirchj33 was no ordinary Master. Thanks to the sacrifice of MrBlonde, kirchj33 had become the Grandmaster.
CCCombobreaker has died. His master identity was MrBlonde.
