THE Living Emotive stood between THE Undivided One and her fallen companion, her colorful hair blazing with authority as she released Embodiment after Embodiment against the approaching horror.
|Emotions are the foundation of existence! Fear shall become my weapon, and the fear you feel at facing an Absolute shall consume you!|
BOOM!
Her Embodiment crashed against the winged lion with force that would have devastated any weak Absolute!
THE Undivided One didn’t even slow down.
It passed through her Embodiment as if it were mist, its serpent-mane hissing with amusement at her attempt to weaponize its emotions. This creature had existed since before emotions were differentiated from raw experience. It did not know fear. It only knew hunger.
Emotive released another Embodiment, and another, her voice growing more desperate amd grand with each Embodiment that failed to halt the approaching predator.
"Rage shall become a wall! Fury shall become a shield! The intensity of my passion shall-"
BOOM!
THE Undivided One’s paw swiped through her Embodiment and caught her across the torso, sending her tumbling down the mountainside with force that cracked the ancient stone beneath her impact.
She looked up at THE Creature’s temple with fury and desperation blazing in her eyes.
"CREATURE! HELP US!"
Her voice rang across Alfheimr with the weight of an Absolute’s full attention.
THE Creature remained in his temple, his multicolored flames burning steadily as he looked at THE Undivided One and THE Formless Terror approaching his position. The words of Emotive rang in his ears, demanding response, demanding action, demanding that he save her from the horror that was about to devour her.
But...
He spoke with a voice that held the authority of Existence itself.
"Adversity is good for your existence."
His tone was calm, almost gentle.
"See if you can get out of it yourself first."
...!
Below the mountain, Emotive’s expression transformed from desperation into absolute rage. THE Undivided One was approaching her fallen position with leisurely pace, savoring the moment before consumption. Elemental lay nearby, trembling with pain that he couldn’t suppress, unable to contribute anything to their defense.
"YOU...!"
Emotive’s voice burned with fury that transcended her usual manic energy.
"If I die, I will haunt you endlessly, O Creature! I will haunt you! I will-"
THE Creature was no longer listening.
His attention had turned fully to THE Undivided One and THE Formless Terror that approached his temple with hunger written across every aspect of their being. The serpent-dragon’s seven heads all oriented toward him with anticipation. THE Formless Terror churned with increased intensity as it drew closer to prey that radiated more authority than anything it had encountered in eons.
They looked at THE Creature hungrily.
They saw an Absolute surrounded by multicolored flames.
They saw a meal beyond anything they had consumed before!
"Existence...acknowledges my grasp."
BOOM!

And now, he chose not to permit it.
