The woods around the obelisk were quiet, but noise began to stir. The echoes of cries of pain came from the woods, faint at first and becoming louder with each passing moment. The trees were turning brown at an alarming rate, and leaves were falling from the trees an an eerie fog came out of the woods. Preceeding them was Gado, a smile on his face as he approached the Goddess and Rowan.
"Sorry to keep you two waiting. I suppose you two know why I am here, and I have a deal to offer."
His hands opened up, and two glowing lights formed in them. The lights slowly formed into two small humanoid shapes, vaguely familiar to Rowan. Such familiar eyes and faces, and they opened their mouths to speak. The wind carried their voices to him, faint cries of ' Daddy!' . Gado grinned and looked at Rowan. "A trade. I break the rock, you can have these two souls back. Sound good?"

The Goddess knew how Rowan would react, but the tactic by Gado was more than she'd expected for him to use. It was a cruel tactic, but she'd known Rowan would see through it. So when her brother made his stand, she did as well.
She extended a hand towards the obelisk and activated it's natural protectors, the plants and animals of the dark forest who were, by their natures, immune to the harsh cries of Gado's magic.
Then she turned her endless starry gaze to Gado, "You will not have this obelisk. Instead, you will die here. And I will see to it that your soul endures the worst punishments imaginable for the crimes you have committed. You cannot win here. Your master has sent you against foes that cannot fall, sent you to fail and die. You had best prepare for it," she warned him in a cold voice and drew her sword.
That sword hadn't been drawn in countless centuries and actually sang in counter to what he'd called up, driving the harsh cries of his souls back. Her sword had been forged so long ago that even the gods had forgotten how to make another like it. While Gado thought he could harvest souls, the Goddess' sword actually did so. It was also unbreakable and fully able to harvest the souls of other gods. In short, she used a god-killer, a type of sword that could kill any being.
She considered Gado for a moment then looked to her brother, "Would you care to use my sword, brother? Or will your own suffice?" she asked him, her voice calm and simply asking him a rhetorical question for the benefit of the soul reaper...

((No worries man. We'll wrap this up quickly so the guild can get back to normal.))
The demon let Rowan close in, and used the shaft part of his scythe to slam into Rowan and push him back just enough for the tips of Rowan's blades to connect with hhis midsection. Gado stumbled back a little, noticing that his flesh was cut clean, and some foul smelling tar-like liquid was seeping from the wound. The sadistic smile never left Gado's face as his fingers traced the cuts and rubbed some of the liquid against his stomach, and brought his finger to his lips to taste the 'blood'.
"I'm very impressed Rowan. Not many weapons can cut me, let alone make me bleed. I see that perhaps I should take this fight more seriously."
The wound at Gado's midsection began to open, causing more foul liquid to fall to the ground. Like acid, it was burning holes through the natural magic the Goddess and Rowan had set up, a testament to the power this Harvester held. His skin was peeling off like poor plaster, and the human-looking frame of Gado melted away into the disgusting tar. The massive pool of corrupting filth bubbled as a massive, grotesque enetity began to coalesce inside it. It towered over Rowan as the tar began to solidify, looking like some twisted fiend out of a madman's nightmare. The beast growled loudly as one swipe of its large hand knocked Rowan back, and the scythe it had dropped grew to accomodate its' size.
"Cast your eyes upon my true self and tremble, puny god. Tonight, I feast upon your soul, and then I will have your wife and your sister for dessert!"

Gado let out a gurgled groan as he dropped to one knee, coughing up whatever putrid bile he was composed of. Rowan was making short work of him at this rate, but the demon was not without one last laugh. The power required to sustained this form wasn't going to last, so he chose to let it all go. The tar began to flow back into whatever pile of goo it was, evacuating Rowan to the grass as Gado's human form fell out of the beast. He was cut up badly, bleeding profusely but still smiling.
" You win... god.... this obelisk....stands" He coughed up more bile and fell to his back, staring up at the sky. Funny, for now that the Harvester was dying he could see the world different. This was what it was like to see the world as dying man.
"You may free the souls of my captives..... but... your children die with me." He stated and sighed, still grinning maliciously. His body began to decompose rapidly, falling apart into dust as a rush of souls burst from his corpse. Thousands of souls burst free, but not Rowan's children. They were gone for good.
