All hell shook.
The ground cracked in rivers of fire and ice, the sky tore apart in flashes of light, and the air was a battlefield where the fire of the Phoenix and the cold of the Blue Dragon fought for space.
Sapphire and Stella stood in the eye of this apocalypse.
Two tiny silhouettes before titans.
Two demons who, even staggering, laughed in the face of destruction.
"Let's end this, Stella!" Sapphire shouted, her eyes blazing, her spear pulsing like a burning heart.
"Until the end!" Stella replied, the winds swirling in sharp spirals around her.
The Blue Dragon's roar tore through the sky, followed by the Phoenix's incandescent cry. The two monsters advanced together, one in a wave of ice that froze the soul, the other in an eruption of golden fire that seemed to engulf reality itself.
Sapphire exploded into motion.
