Make Them

The world fell into a silence. As though all the air had been sucked out and a vacuum had formed. 

Blue Moon felt as though he had been locked onto, his body frozen in place. He was entirely unable to move. It felt like the laws of the world had suddenly turned on him. 

Fluttering runes of light solidified around him. 

"You should be thankful," Ryu said with an indifferent tone. "Normally, I wouldn't waste an attack like this on the likes of you. I normally wouldn't waste any words on you either. 

"But you see, in the darkness there's this woman who thinks too much of herself. If I stay too silent, she might think that the likes of you actually has a right to stand on the same stage as me… 

"When in reality… 

"You were never worthy." 

Ryu's blade slashed down. 

The world was divided in two.
