Saaksi

--Dross' eyes flashed their sun-lit yellow, and his horns crackled with the energy of his existence.
--"Finally" he musted "I was getting so tired of being confined. Can't you see it's me, your friend. You thought me dead, but here I stand, unbroken. My son, a younger version of myself, Shao Tungala. Lay down your weapon, for I am not here to fight."
--Shao took three steps back, his mouth agape in terror.
--"You're dead! I saw your death--!"
--Dross simply shook his head and lowered to his feet, his arms drooping to their sides.
--"I'm returned from the afterlife--" He put his hand to his heart, and a large white glow sparked and nearly blinded Shao.
--"--because you never give up. So raise your hand against me again, child."
--Shao grit his teeth and slung his greatblade into a combat position, ready for the attack.
--"Show me just how far your determination will get you. I don't about care destroying this world anymore. Every time you strike me down, we'll just do this all over again."
--"How is this possible? How is it you continue to stand against me?"
--"You cannot so simply kill a man's hope, and a dream."
--Shao tore asunder the blade, slashing at the God, and he simply caught the blade with his bare hand, sparks flying in every direction. His arm contorted and slammed the blade into the ground leaving the monk disarmed. Eye contact remained unbroken and the air shivered in fear from the might of their two powers. It felt as if the entire world were to collapse in on itself at any moment.
--The true final battle had begun.
