==Beyond Death== Though she died from the dickish machinations of Heliod, Elspeth wasn't entirely gone, instead being cast into the Underworld of Theros. While she normally would have gone to live in a paradise afterlife, [[Ashiok]] had other plans. Tormenting the fallen champion, Ashiok forced Elspeth to relive her fears and failures, such as when she accidentally killed Daxos and when she was struck down by Heliod. During one such nightmare, Elspeth reached out and grabbed Heliod's Spear, and when she awoke, she found herself in possession of an inky, shadowy perversion of the Khrusor, now dubbed the Shadowspear. With this spear in hand, Elspeth had a new resolve to get out of the Underworld, once and for all. As an unforeseen consequence of Heliod's aforementioned dickery and paranoia, Theros was in open war, with the Gods bringing demigod champions to fight in their name. Erebos even got in the action, trying to mess up Heliod's plans, which caused rifts into the Underworld to pop up everywhere on Theros. Elspeth travels the Underworld, trying to find a rift out and kicking some ass as well. Her ass-kicking eventually earns her a following among the dead, and at the end of every fight she wins, she announces that her Shadowspear is the true Khursor to an uproarious agreement. Klothys, the God of Destiny and keeper of the Titans, was also pretty peeved about the whole affair, but was especially pissed off at Elspeth's attempt at escape. She sent forth agents of fate to try and reign Elspeth in, and when that did not work, she crafted a brand new one named Calix, whose sole purpose in life was to make sure Elspeth stays in the Underworld. He wasn't exactly successful, getting beat up with every encounter the two had but, to be fair, he was born yesterday and was still learning. With Elspeth nearing a rift and his paranoia coming to a fever pitch, Heliod himself came down to the Underworld to block her path. Elspeth repeated that her Shadowspear was the true Khrusor, to which her followers whole-heartedly agreed. Using the power of Devotion and belief, Elsepth's lie became fact, and she shattered the now false Khrusor. Disarmed and bowed, Heliod had to surrender. Upon hearing his surrender, Erebos swooped in and placed Heliod under an impossibly heavy boulder Atlas-style, hoping to starve him of Devotion and eventually undo the sun God. As thanks for helping him get revenge on Heliod, Erebos let Elspeth leave, where she shared a tender moment with the revived Daxos before heading off. Calix, whose entire life purpose is to keep Elspeth in the Underworld, kind of had an existential breakdown, causing such mental anguish that his spark ignited and he planeswalked after her, despite Elspeth getting a pardon from Erebos.
