"Ah… I've been waiting for this for god knows how long. When was the last time those two fought?" said the young man who looked jolly and bright. "I mean, seriously fought."
"200 years ago," the other man, who looked prim and serious, answered.
"It's been a while indeed. You think brother will win against him this time?"
"Don't be silly."
"But I heard there was something weird going on with Alexander right now. Hmm, it seems the rumors aren't true about Alex obeying brother Zeke because if that was true, then they wouldn't be fighting right now."
"Who knows?"
"Oh well, let's just enjoy this rare show for now. But don't you think they're being too intense this time? It's like their powers have increased over time."
"The reason for their fight certainly looks to be something serious."
"Now I'm curious what Alexander did this time to awaken brother's wrath."
"Nope. This time it's the other way around. Brother was the one who provoked Alexander. Otherwise, he wouldn't be attacking brother Zeke like he wants to kill him."
"You're right. But hey, are you sure we're just going to watch them? This looks really serious. It wouldn't be a problem for Alexander but brother is not immortal, you know?"
"Don't underestimate your older brother, idiot. And it's not like you or me could stop them."
"I'm not underestimating big bro! Geez. I'm just worried 'cause Alexander seems very serious."
The lightning struck and the thunder kept roaring as Alex and Zeke continued their fight. Alex was on a rampage. It seemed like he had been taken over by his demonic self and so Zeke could only evade his attacks. Zeke could only go on the defensive as he tried to maneuver Alex deeper into the forest, or there might be nothing left of the city at this rate.
The bad thing about Alex was that he was too powerful; his power tended to overtake his rationality. He would lose his mind in the process, as if the dragon had full control of his body. That was how he destroyed kingdoms mercilessly a long time ago. He wouldn't care about anything. He didn't hear reason, he didn't see reason, only destruction. Even if his body was pierced by hundreds of arrows, or slashed by sharp swords, he wouldn't halt and just continued on his rampage, smiling from the thrill of it all. Nothing had made Alex go on a rampage like this for countless years since he left his throne, but now, since he met Abigail, he was so easy to provoke.
"Where do you think she is right now?" Alex finally asked and Zeke lazily wiped the blood flowing from his lips.
"Maybe she's at the airport waiting for a plane to go take her back to her country, or she's sulking in a hotel or back to the villag–"
Before Zeke could finish his words, Alex was gone and he could only sigh again. Alex didn't know it but he reacted this way because of his past experiences. He was not conscious about it but his subconscious knew that in the past, whenever Abigail disappeared, it was because she had been abducted and put in perilous situations. That was the reason why he immediately went on a rampage when he found out she was gone.
Once Alex's presence disappeared, Zeke stood up and surveyed the fallen trees all around them. That rampaging beast indeed destroyed a lot. Letting out a quiet sigh, he ran his fingers through his hair and stared at his wrist watch.
Looking at the time, a slight smile curved on his lips before he finally walked away.
