This pitiful demonic magic tried to eat away at It as if it could do anything.

The Worldstone would have loved to mimic the residents of Its world and scoff at the attempt. Truly, Spawns of Tathamet had no shame, especially not the three largest heads. This one, the Second Head truly believed he did damage to It? Oh how much It hated them… hated all of them, including the Spawns of Anu. Both side claimed to be different than the other yet both had done the exact same thing – forcing the Worldstone to create and then destroy Its creations without a second thought.

Well… that is, until that one single Spawn of Anu came with the white hair and big dreams. The Worldstone knew It could trust him. It even let his guard down somewhat and contacted the Spawn with Its… thoughts, It reckon it could call them that. Not like in the case of the First Note of Anu, oh no… That worthless spawn pried and poked relentlessly at Its being, tried his best to enslave the Worldstone. But the Stone would not budge to someone as empty as the Firstborn.

But the white-haired one, Inarius. Now him, the Stone called a friend. No one else was worthy for their names to ever be uttered by the Stone.

Then Inarius had been crushed, and became a threat. The Worldstone experienced grief once again but It allowed meddling humans to sever their connection and thrust Inarius off this world. A painful sacrifice, but one that had to be done to save their shared creation.

Yet the Worldstone could not help but weep for Its friend’s fate. Sorrowfully singing to Itself within the depths of the mountain.

But of course a Tathamet spawn had found It and the little nothing tried to corrupt Its perfect being. Bah! The Worldstone would have laughed if It could.

What?

What was the Third Note of Anu doing here?! He wanted to destroy the Stone?! “Corrupted beyond saving”?! Was the spawn trying to make a senseless joke?! The Stone almost lashed out to pulverize the speck of light in Its offended rage.

Wait…

True, this magic was stubborn, it clung to Its being. The Stone might need a long time to get rid of it… and it may influence Its beloved world until then. No, that was unacceptable. Unacceptable!

… Maybe the Third Note would finally be useful once in its damnable existence.

So when the small sword punched a crack into Its structure, instead of erasing it without a second thought, the Worldstone allowed Its own being and power to surge out through the opening. It left behind Its old body to find a new existence, without much of an idea as of yet.

For the first time in Its existence, the Worldstone knew not even a glimpse of what might await It in the future.

It was excited to find out.

oooOOOooo

Quick recap of what the F is going on here:

The Worldstone was the center piece of the endless war between angels and demons for possibly millions of years. Whichever side controlled it, they mostly used it to create new battlegrounds to destroy, cuz.... Idunno, habit I guess. Malthael the Firstborn studied, in order to use it more effectively. Eventually, Inarius and his treacherous mate Lilith, along with their peace-seeking followers stole the Stone from right under the angels, and created a new world called Sanctuary with it.

Inarius created a bond with the Stone, reaching almost godly status with it, in order to keep the world safe. Blablabla, half-blood nephalem born, blablabla Inarius asks for time-out to think, blablabla Lilith's purge, aaaand we end up with Inarius staying all alone in a Nephalem-overrun world that became mostly hostile to him.

He went nuts eventually, a megalomaniac idiot who ended up trying to erase everything and start anew. In come Uldyssian, a mere mortal who reaches Mega Super Gary-Tsu status, severs Inarius from the Stone, saves the world, banishes the angels and demons then promptly dies. Inarius is sold to Mephisto, Sanctuary is spared, Tyrael (the Thirdborn in my story) starts to evolve into Precious Cinnamon Roll towards the humans.

Jump forward a couple hundreds of years, Baal (Second Head of Tathamet) runs havoc on Sanctuary because the Diablo 2 storyline is nonsensical and boring as all hell. He reaches the Worldstone, corrupts it just before he is killed by a bunch of humans. Tyrael arrives fashionably late and immediately decides that blowing the Stone sky-high is the only way to save humanity from getting corrupted through it. He flings his very impressive but goddamn TOOTHPICK-SIZED sword, and BOOM goes the Stone. Tyrael needs 20 years of rehab and he immediately follows that up by ripping off his own wings (shit, that might have been a good idea for today as well) and plunge face first into the Tristram Catedral and terminal velocity, cuz YOLO.

The end.

Now, in my humble opinion, the Worldstone, a world- and life-creating object that originates from Anu himself (possibly since before Anu and Tathamet separated, since it is capable of creating anything) AND that had survived being the focus of millions of years of war... Yeah, there is no goddamn way it could be destroyed that easily. It would have gone nuclear ages ago during the Eternal Conflict. Don't tell me no one tried to whack their weapon or magic against it before, out of accident or sheer desperation. Yeah, that's a no from me.

So in my story, I gave the Stone an actual personality (and to the Arch as well but that comes later), a mind of its own, plans, and some really well-justified deep hatred for every angel and demon out there. It probably allowed Tyrael to destroy it so it could bring about some much needed change finally.

Long story short, the Stone is now in the House and came to do some MOFing earnest housecleaning, no less.

Might take a couple of years to reach that level, though. If everything would be so kind as to stop trying to kill it in its new life. That would be nice.
