Target Soverick Instead.

Attacking the first Sage wouldn't end well anyway. The two of them have fought before, and it was a draw. The serpentine world knows that the two of them were holding back during that fight. He had thought he had the upper hand though. But now he is not so sure. The Sage might have been playing him then so that he wouldn't look like a threat.

'Now I am second-guessing myself. Fuck that snake.'

He turned his eyes to the first Sage as the anger boiled within him. Recent events have shown that everything is not as it seems. He can't be sure about anything until it has been confirmed. Even then, it might have an ulterior purpose. It is making him unsure of himself, and he hates that. He is very angry at the Sage because of it. He would like to fight the Sage to the death here and now just to be sure of who is stronger between the two of them. He would like to know for sure whose world is larger and whose Will is more powerful.
