An island hung mid-air and drifted slowly in the wind among clouds and birds.
This place was one of the few magical lands in the world but for that day in particular, it would serve as a battlefield for two titans.
Emperor Kai floated steadily in the air and opposite Soul King.
"You are an S-rank mage of one of the rarest affinities, yet you don't know how to use your mana domain?" Emperor Kai spat out.
"And so today, I'm going to force your domain out of you." He completed as arcs of lightning flashed across his forearm.
Looking at the emperor, Soul King found itself fairly surprised.
"You want to help us get stronger?"
"What do you stand to gain?" Its head tilted to the side.
The electric arcs intensified. "I plan to use you to kill one of the Royal Magic and, as such, need you to be stronger." Emperor Kai revealed with no hint of deceit.
Grey energy started to swirl around Soul King and wind around Emperor Kai.
And then they began.
Kai disappeared.
Or so it seemed.
