Necromancer
You realize something. You've won. You don't need to commit worldwide slaughter. In fact at this point you'd rather just give it all up in exchange for peace and quiet with Catalina. And you know the place you could do such a thing.
"Catalina, let's forget all this."
"What?"
"I'm saying fuck this shit. I'm getting bored with it, there's not really a challenge anymore, so what's the point? Let's just leave."
"Well where are we going to do that?"
"Let's go to that hidden Vampire Clan fortress. Nobody else is using it and all it needs is a little fixing up. I can easily set up the magic to hide it again."
"Easily eh? Boy you have come a long way. I remember when you cast that spell in enchantment class and caused all those frogs to attack the professor."
"Boy you're never going to let me forget that are you? I still think those were a species of killer frogs and they would've attacked anyway."
"What? Those were pygmy Eraw frogs! They're one of the most benign creatures on the planet! YOU turned them into killers!" Catalina laughs.
"Yeah, well he deserved it anyway. He was going to fail me."
"I'm surprised he didn't after that, though he probably was a little afraid of you. Guess you always had it in you even back then."
"YeahÂ…well you ready to go?"
"Wait we're just leaving? Shouldn't we make arrangements or something first?"
"Like I said fuck it, let all these necromancers fight over it. If one of them thinks they can try to take my place then let 'em. I predict it'll all fall apart within a year though. They can't be me."
"No they can't. Let's go."
You and Catalina then press the key to the old vampire fortress. Fortunately it doesn't need too much fixing up and you have it restored in no time. It is from here where you and Catalina stay to watch the world events unfold in fascination.
Just as you predicted your dominion of the dead collapsed due to infighting. To your surprise Trelik popped up again and amusingly he even claimed he'd destroyed you and Catalina. Even more amusingly he was one of the first usurpers to die during the civil war.
The Grand Alliance took advantage of the situation and eventually broke the stranglehold that the dead once held over the living. Your sister stormed the gates of Aftermath itself and reclaimed it. She became a hero of epic proportions. You're glad. You're glad you made this decision. You didn't want to have to kill her or your Mom.
The world didn't immediately go back to normal though. Your actions have had repercussions and there yet still remains areas of the world where necromancers rule, possibly the undead will always have a strong influence in some areas, but the threat of the end of all life is no longer a possibility. Your own powers seem to have grown a bit weaker, make no mistake, you are still very powerful. Possibly still the most powerful being on the planet, but with the rise of life once again, you do feel a change, and you don't mind it.
The years pass and you and Catalina are content to just watch the world go by and enjoy each others' company undisturbed. One day though, Catalina's life force is giving out and she does not wish to continue her existence into undeath like you and you certainly understand.
You and her say goodbye and then you promise you will soon join her. After burning her body you sit on your throne, you write one last thing in your journal about why you did what you did in case anyone should find this.
Then you concentrate and will yourself to die. It takes some effort, but eventually you feel a release and your powers are fading completely.
"I'm coming home Catalina."
At last, death has died.
