“Not if I have anything to say about it, Lusìvar,” said the Crystal Dragon.
Lusìvar swung his weapon at the dragon at an incredible speed. The Crystal Dragon grabbed Lusìvar’s weapon and dragged from the evil spirit’s hands with great ease.
However, Lusìvar made another from a nearby floating cloud, exactly the same as the one he just lost. “In this realm, resources are limitless. Unlike the Titans, I found the meaning in life and the reasoning to live my own life. These new creatures you created need guidance before they can walk on their own, and I’ll guide them toward their future.”
“In the Mortal Realm, the breathing creatures must evolve, grow, and thrive without a supernatural being telling them what do to,” said the Crystal Dragon. “You must let them go and let them do as they wish.”
“I’ll never let them go or release them from their chains. I’ve been ruling the Second Generation for four thousand years now and I’ll be ruling until their brains evolve enough for them figure out how to break from their chains and go free.”
The Crystal Dragon grunted at Lusìvar’s statement. The dragon god wasn’t going to have an evil Spirit rule over the creations he and the two other gods created. Instead of a peaceful solution the Crystal Dragon was hoping for, he was going have to remove the dark spirit Lusìvar by force and cast him where the other Titans had been imprisoned.
The great fight of the new Generation had started and lasted as long as it did with the Titans. The Crystal Dragon and Lusìvar battled high in the dark-clouded sky. Many chained creatures and humans watched the two powerful beings battling for the Living.
After some fierce fighting, Lusìvar found an opening on the Crystal Dragon and struck the dragon god’s belly. “It’s over, dragon god, yield before your new godly king,” said Lusìvar.
The dragon stood emotionlessly. His opponent thinking he had the advantage over the dragon god. “You underestimate the power of the Three Gods and your own power that lies beneath ours, runt.” The dragon god whipped his tail around his opponent.
Lusìvar was pushed back and floated higher in the sky. He didn’t have enough time to remove his scythe from the dragon. The Spirit pressed his hands together and made a long spear with a snake-fang blade swirled with thinly, curved ax blades.
The dragon god removed the impaled weapon dug into its belly with a single finger. The weapon faded like a cloud evaporating into the air. The dragon god rose higher to fight again with the dark Spirit, Lusìvar. Its wings flapped softly as it slowly rising higher from the solid ground.
“You forget I am a god of creations, Spirit of Shadow,” said the Crystal Dragon. “I am one of Three Gods that created everything to be mortal, including you. You’re overlapping your power against my brethren. You’ve forgotten we created you and the other celestial beings to watch over the less, smaller beings to grow and prosper and multiply. Yet, you and the other rose against our will and enslaved the creatures you were designed to protect. You not only have taken arms against the gods, against me, but you turned your back against your own brethren. You have abused others and you abused your own power in which I gave you, devil of Shadows. Now I’m going to relieve you of your power and punish you to wonder your days as a mortal being.”
Lusìvar regathered his tracks and repositioned to a higher angle to attack above the dragon god. The dementing Spirit had not thought that the Crystal Dragon was powerful enough to withstand his might, but Lusìvar still remained sure that he would strike down the mighty god and make himself the ruler of the gods.
The Crystal Dragon could see right through the evil spirit’s mind, thinking that the spirit could be turned into a god. But gods, being neither living nor dead, without a created beginning or a deathly end, could not be cast down by any means. They were immortal and had no end.
The Crystal Dragon remembered every creation and living creature he, Adelpha, and Origenes had created. Lusìvar was not one of his creations.
Lusìvar was among the mortal beings the Crystal Dragon had created; the mortal body made for mortal beings and the ghost by the gods’ hands. Now Lusìvar had achieved becoming a dominant celestial being. His only wish now was to achieve rule over the Mortal Realm.
Both fighters wanted something for the Mortal Realm. One wanted the light shining upon the mortals and the other wanted the darkness to blind them.
Again Lusìvar and the Crystal Dragon battled, Lusìvar trying to slice through the dragon god’s spiritual body, but to no avail. Any weapon Lusìvar possessed would go right through the Crystal Dragon’s divine form.
“As you can see, Spirit of Shadow,” said the Crystal Dragon, “I am a god and cannot be beaten. The Titans couldn’t defeat the three gods, and you can’t. Just give up this pointless fight and accept what you are.”
Lusìvar howled a loud grunt. “I will not bow to any gods or upper beings of creations. I am the true ruler of the living and the dead. I will take any means necessary to stay in power, even if I have to be cast down with the Titans you imprisoned long before the Second Generation of the Living Life.” Then Lusìvar’s black armor started to puff smoke and took the form of another creature.
The smoke grew into a giant, foggy figure. As it grew to the same size as the Crystal Dragon, the god himself knew Lusìvar was turning into a dragon. Thinking that to take out a god, he needed to take the same form as the god.
Lusìvar’s foggy, shaping smoke glittered with red lightning bolts.
