Meh. This is my first time doing something like this, so please be gentle with me. It's a teeny bit AU, since I kind of switched some events around.

!(!


Thumbing through the pages of my fantasies
Pushing all the mercy down, down, down
I wanna see you try to take a swing at me
Come on, gonna put you on the ground, ground, ground

He was not my ruler. If there was one thing I knew, it was that he was never my ruler. As a Draconian, I had silently refused to be his subordinate. I received my relief when I left the citadel for Meridell, to help destroy Darigan. Little did those peasants know I had my own plans to take the citadel and their own land.

And so here I was, the ruler of the Kass Citadel, formerly the Darigan Citadel. And there he was, less than four meters away from me, spear in hand, risen from the grave to help his former enemies. We were near the edge of the citadel, with a wall behind me and a jutting rock behind him. Perfect.

Why are you trying to make fun of me?
You think it's funny?
What the fuck you think it's doing to me?
You take your turn lashing out at me
I want you crying with your dirty ass in front of me

"Kass," he choked, "I do not wish to fight you. This cruel war must stop. Halt it, now!"

But I ignored him. Gone were the days where he could give me commands, tell me what was the right thing to do. And besides, the war had gone too far already for even me to stop it. Instead I pulled my sword out of its sheath, running at him, and at the same time he ran at me with his spear exposed.

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

I managed to slice his left cheek open with my sword, but, however, I took no damage as we ran by each other with attacking in mind. Darigan backflipped back to his old position and prepared to strike again.

I could see the pain in his eyes. He did not want to kill anyone, to hurt anyone, or to cause any pain whatsoever, no matter what the form. And yet he knew what he had to in order to stop the war. And to save Meridell. Why did he even want to save his former foes, anyway? The stupid fuck.

Thumbing through the pages of my fantasies
I'm above you, smiling at you, drown, drown, drown
I wanna kill and rape you the way you raped me
And I'll pull the trigger
And you're down, down, down

And so we clashed, Eyrie and mutated Korbat, regal ruler of the citadel and pathetic ex-ruler, blade and spear, strong and vain. That fucking moron - he still backed off often, thinking he could stop the battle by faking a surrender.

It occured to me that I had faced many powerful foes before, but this could be my greatest challenge. He was still slightly weakened, but he was much more powerful than all the others. I did not worry. I knew my power would keep me safe from harm.

Why are you trying to make fun of me?
You think it's funny?
What the fuck you think it's doing to me?
You take your turn lashing out at me
I want you crying with your dirty ass in front of me

Yes, I was strong. If there was any word to describe my power, strong would be it. I did not receive any truly large wounds, perhaps besides a good-sized cut on my lower leg. Pain I could withstand.

Any suffering would be worth it once I defeated him. Even if I died, it would be a good death. If I took him down with me, it would be almost as good as surviving.

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

The bloodlust was on me. I swung at him, charged at him, attacked him with more fury than ever before. It was wonderful to know that I could kill another living being, that I could spill his blood and ruin him.

It was then that I knew exactly what I wanted. I had alwasy wanted it, especially now, but at this moment it was clearer than it had ever been before.

All my friends are gone, they died (gonna take you down)

I wanted to beat him.

They all screamed, and cried (gonna take you down)

I wanted to spill his blood.

I've got my body, got my body back against the wall
I've got my body, got my body back against the wall
Gonna take you down

I wanted to kill him.

I've got my body, got my body back against the wall
I've got my body, got my body back against the wall
Gonna take you down

I would beat him.

I've got my body, got my body back against the wall
I've got my body, got my body back against the wall
Gonna take you down

I would spill his blood.

I've got my body, got my body back against the wall
I've got my body, got my body back against the...

I would kill him.

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming

He was on the ground, with a deep wound in his shoulder, spouting blood. "Kass," he croaked weakly, "You don't have to..."

But once again, I didn't listen. I wouldn't listen. All I wanted was to destroy him and end this forever.

I raised my sword, and it glinted in the moonlight. Little did the moon know what blood would spill beneath its peaceful glow this night. I brought the sword down, prepared to end the thoughtless battle we had waged.

All of my hate cannot be found
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground
I will see you screaming
