"Yes… it is true. I am a Demi-God."
Raymond admitted at last, as in that instant the temperature within the Eternal Garden plunged to a bone-biting chill.
*KABOOM*
Thunder split the heavens, and for a heartbeat it felt as though time itself froze, for Raymond's eyes caught the faint glimmer of lightning crawling across the polished edge of Kaelith's origin-metal blade, as his own father turned his weapon against him.
*Duck*
Instinct seized him, his muscles coiling as he threw his body downward, hoping to slip beneath the first strike….
And for a moment, it seemed like he could potentially succeed, the dagger's arc whispering just above his head.
However, unfortunately for him Kaelith was no ordinary opponent.
The Eternal Sovereign had seemingly already accounted for his son's reflex as he threw the first dagger high on purpose as bait for the duck, while the real blow came via a second strike that was sweeping low.
A move that left Raymond with nowhere to dodge.
