[CoolNard]

I screw up my face in concentration, trying to figure out how to counter this new phenomenon. I decide that I should just finish Tatsu off once and for all. I charge at Tatsu headfirst from the pillar, swirling and twirling my body rapidly at an unimaginable speed, thrusting Zeus and Raijin infront of me to make a horizontal tornado. The tornado's destructive power slices through even anything near it.

His firey substance smashes into my tornado, creating a mass explosion that obliterates evrything in it's range. I'm dazzled for a minute and then glimpse up. Tatsu had managed to use one of his abilities(which, i'll leave tt up to u) to protect Nozomi in the nick of time. Ichirin, upon sensing the incoming result of our elemental clash, had taken the other girl and hid behind a huge boulder nearby.

The forest is in a state of despair. It is no longer recognizable as a forest but as the aftermath of a battlefield between two persistent powers. Everything is in flames, burning to a crisp.

I glance at my worthy adversaries. Tatsu is lying on the ground, exhausted from holding his own against me, from defending Nozomi from the earlier blast. Ichirin and the other woman rush towards their aid. The woman treats their wounds while Ichirin steps up to the plate and points his weapon at me. In that perspective, they merely look like a pathetic bunch. I draw back and lower my weapons. I no longer have the mood to continue this pointless fight. I knew that if they couldn't even beat a single minion of the SilverDragon, they wouldn't stand even the chance of defeating the entire dragon army and facing My Graciousness herself. Besides, it'd be a waste to take their lives away here, in a mere half-destroyed forest. No one has ever stood up against my wrath for so long before. I want to have more fun, to give these humans the torture they deserve for taking everything away from me.

All of a sudden, Nozomi stands up. Her eyes are of a different color than what i had seen. There is an aura of darkness emanating from her. The others seem to notice it too and back away from the being that was Nozomi. For the first ever time in my life, for a split second, i lose myself and feel paralysed with fear, my eyes losing their murderous color and turning blue.
