[ModNote: continued from The girl.] *Lufane drew a line in the dust on the ground with his sword a drove it through the soil at one end* Nemesis... come to me, we shall duel. I know you cannot refuse and must kill me the way I wish. I wish to die fighting. So fight me. *This is said quietly, but Lufane knows he can be heard* |

*Autumn had been running behind him.*
STOP! What in Imaginal's name are you doing?!

Stop, Autumn.
*As he says this, a reddish, translucent copy of Lufane rises from the ground*
Varya, I will need you to say "Goung Hei Tempai" whenever you are ready. I'm not going down without a fight.

Wh-...is that the 'Nemesis' thingy you're talking about? Good god...
*She's horribly confused, but she knows what will happen to Lufane.*
Lufane...are you sure?!

I am sure... It will happen eventually. If iI do not challenge it, Nemesis does not have to accept, but if I do, it does... It must fight me fairly in Elven combat... I now need you to indicate that we may begin... "guong hei tempei", if you please.
*His face is serious and drained, almost as if he is concealing pure panic*

*Seeing how serious he is, Autumn decides to say it.*
Guong hei tempei...?

*Almost before she has finished the words the Nemesis moves and his fist, blurring into invisibility, smashes into Lufane's stomach, lifting him into the air. To his credit, he lands perfectly. Indicating in no way that he has been winded. His arms blur and slam into Nemesis to,e after time. It stands, not indicating pain at all. When he speaks, it is a woman's voice, young and free*
Nemesis: poor son of Cosmos. Weak, undeserving of the power of your race.
You dare use her voice? YOU DARE?! Yiira, to me!
*His blade flies to his hand and he spins, drawing a faint circle in the air. Symbols appear in the ring and glow green. A woman's voice speaks out, each symbol growing brighter when its name is called*
Woman: Paragon, Paragon, Yiira, Lufane, Paragon, Paragon, Xel'Lotath
*The symbols burn bright and flow into Lufane's body. His body is covered with a black armour and he sneers as a helmet covers his face*
Now, Nemesis, we will fight.

*Autumn stands back a bit. She looks slightly terrified.*

*A sword appears in Nemesis' hand a steel flashes Lufane moving faster than he ever has before. He grunts occasionally through the battle.*
IXEN PARGON ULYAOTH [FIRE POWER MAGIC]
*Lufane ignites and grabs Nemesis, burning its skin. It screams and pushes him back with magic. It bears down on Lufane forcing him to step back with every move. He falls to the ground and the blade reappears in its hand*

Why...why is this suddenly happening?
*Autumn is utterly confused.*

*Nemesis' blade smacks and drives into the ground where Lufane was. He is now completely invisible. Nemesis looks around and appears confused. Its knees buckle and its arm separates itself from the rest of its body drawing an agonized scream. The other arm is also ripped off and Nemesis' head snaps backwards. Nemesis shatters. Lufane reappears, without armour and turns slowly to Autumn.*
Looks like I did well, yesno?

Yeah...
*She looks relieved.*
It definitely looks like it.

*Lufane's face drops. His chest pushes forward slightly, then lurches, it lurches again and a blade comes through his chest. The blade retreats and Nemesis stands, smiling.*
Nemesis: You cannot defeat what just is, Lufa'iin. You should know that.
*Nemesis vanishes. A circle of dust surrounds Lufane*
Yiira. *His words are weak and pained, his breath shallow and light. The sword floats to Lufane's hand*
Autumn, this blade is Shadow's now. Tell her to use it well. If she is to speak to Yiira as if she is kin, the blade will serve her and protect her.
*A female voice speaks and a symbol lights on the dust ring*
PARGON [POWER]
Ngh. Autumn, live well, yesno? I fight for Lynn. And for the two of you. You and Shadow.
*He smiles*
IXENAAT [BURN]
Open your eyes, Varya. open your eyes and See the death of an Elf.
CHAT' TURGAH [BODY]
*The symbols are absorbed by Lufane. The hole in his chest burns as paper would, but without flame. The hole burns outward. Lufane burns to nothing with a scream of agony*

N-NO!!! LUFANE, NO!!!
*As much as she wants to look away, she feels it unfair to ignore his final wish. But she starts crying, so the image in front of her blurs slightly.*

*The air cools and the SoulGem Lufane gave Autumn shatters. Through her tears, a green figure stands where Lufane died. A blue woman stands next to Lufane's soul.*
Why did you not just tell me, Cosmos?
Cosmos: it was best Lufane.
But...
*Cosmos hugs Lufane and turns to Autumn.*
Cosmos: Who is your friend? Why can she see us? You have given her the gift of the Elves?
Only partially, but ngh.
*Cosmos supports Lufane before he falls. He is flickering like a bad video*
Autumn, *he walks to her a rests a hand on her shoulder. He is cold even through her clothes* Always believe in something *He touches Yiira and his soul flows into the gem in the hilt
