Malakas stands across from Dagr sees he must match Dagr with a greater form of his own as he knows at this point Dagr is capable of decimating him in his current state.
Dagr flies up and shouts for all to hear with his arms out "Well Malakas let's see it!"
Malakas grins and it's then his entire body and head turns to a skeleton like figure covered in purple flames "I call this Aetheric Pyromancy King Stage 1"
Dagr looks on in shock but then smiles and says to himself "This shall be interesting" as The Cave shakes
Dagr and Malakas clash yet again but this time in their greater forms. As their fists hit one another they create a aftershock knocking everyone on their backs except for one Revenant who continues to look on unbothered.
"Metnaðr; Aetheric Chains" says Malakas as he grips his chains around Dagr but Dagr grabs them instantly and swings Malakas and his chains off him. Malakas rebounds by landing on his feet and then cups his hand and creates a Aetheric Flame Ball and throws at Dagr but Dagr blocks it with his wings in a defensive position. After Dagr exits his defensive position he prepares for Malakas as he flaps his wings with such force creating a devastating winds serving as a force of impact but then Malakas uses his chain to break the impact of the wind. Unable to harm one another with other means they trade blows with one another. Still unable to land a devastating blow on the other they go block after block, counter for counter. It's then Dagr clocks his head back and lands a devastating headbutt on the skull of Malakas.
"That should do it. Give up yet, Malakas?!" says Dagr
Malakas laughed in response and says as he brings his skull back to level it with Dagr's head and smiling with a cracked skull "Not even close this is just where I wanted ya Dagr. Metnaðr: Emotional Scourge" Malakas's hand touches Dagr head and Dagr backs up in a panic. Malakas gets up as he sees Dagr, his friend suffering the effects of his Emotional Scourge and it breaks his heart. "I'm sorry friend but I need your aid and there isn't a mile I wouldn't go to aid my Kingdom. Especially in a time like this. Plus if you're distracted like this, you stand no chance alone against The South's Jötnars. It's clear you and your Kingdom of Revenants will need my Kingdom's aid as much as I need yours."
Dagr tries to fight back but it's no use as every attempt is either missed or blocked.
Malakas's Emotional Scourge forces his enemies to realize their worst fears and brings about their regrets in a episode of guilt
Dagr yells out "What did you do to me?! Get out of my head!!!" As he continues to swing at Malakas but it's useless as he still can't land a blow on Malakas
Malakas hoping to end the fight uses his Metnaðr and wraps his chains around Dagr's wrists and pulls to one knee "Give it up I don't wanna drain your energy much longer Dagr! Give it up!"
Dagr fighting back with all his might but struggling to fight off the hold that Malakas's chain have on him. Finally Dagr falls out of his greater form and still on one knee seems to have given up and so does Malakas as he releases his chains. Malakas then runs up to Dagr and gets to one knee with him. "Are we done? Will aid us?" Asked Malakas as he puts his hand on Dagr's shoulder
Dagr replies "Like I have any other choice" and puts his hand on Malakas's shoulder signaling the fight is finished between the two warriors.
Sometime later at a Pub in The Cave
"So it looks like I gotta aid your Kingdom" says Dagr
Malakas replies "Well that was the deal if I beat you"
"You have gotten stronger Malakas. Like a lot stronger but I almost had you beat" Dagr tells Malakas
"Only because of that special form of yours. Once I used mine you were not beating me. You might be King of the Revenants but you have lots to learn Dagr." Replied Malakas
"Don't worry though now that we have reconnected I'll make sure you get that training" as he pats Dagr on the back and they continue to drink at the pub in The Cave
Meanwhile in Makar, the Throne Room
Mista sits upon the throne
Alvis enters
"Milady, where is our King and why do you sit upon your brother's throne?" Asked Alvis
Mista replies "He left with Fenrir not long ago. He said every time one of is out a Jötnar attacks. He wants to play his hand now and says I'm to rule in his stead until Queen Thalindra wakes from her nap. Gives me an hour longer to heal to. I must admit though this is quite boring Alvis."
Alvis looks at Mista and then looks away for a second and looks again and then away again as he has now a more urgent matter to attend to than deal with Mista's boredom
Outside of Makar the paws of Fenrir are seen running at great speed then it reveals Masaru is atop of Fenrir and he says "Make haste Fenrir we have Jötnar to slaughter"
Fenrir runs faster towards The South
Meanwhile at in The South at Ginnungagap in the Throne Room
Myrkr arrives to face Cath
Cath sitting on his throne juiced up and back to the same state he was at when he fought Nihil.
"My Liege" says Myrkr as he kneels to Cath
"The trap is set I delivered the message to the girl."
Cath then replies "Good, they will be taken back when we launch our attack in three months time then"
A soldier of Chaos runs in the Throne Room "My Liege!!! My Liege!!! I have received message! He is coming this way! Message from our scouts! He is coming!!"
Cath responds "Shut up and tell me whom exactly?"
The Chaos soldier replies "The King of Makar!"
Cath grins and says "oh really really? Myrkr?"
Myrkr responds by looking at Cath
Cath says "Ypu and all.the other Jötnar will intercept him. I want his head brought to me. That way my overtaken of Makar will be that much easier."
Myrkr responds "Yes, my Liege. I'll gather my brothers and sisters at once."
Myrkr walks away
Bellatrix says to her father Cath "Do you honestly think the Jötnar can handle Masaru father?"
Cath responds "Of course not but it's the only way I can measure Masaru's strength I haven't had this much trouble since Ulf Malakar."
Masaru and Fenrir approach closer to The South
All eleven Jötnar that remain are ready to intercept as they ride to where Masaru will be. Two have been killed already by his brother, Malakas. How many will fall when facing Masaru though?
Meanwhile at Makar in the Throne Room of Sigra Thalindra busts through the door and yells "Where has he gone, Mista! How fucking reckless could he been?"
Mista big eyed in shock looks at her sister-in-law Thalindra and says "Do you want your sit back, my Queen? I was only told to keep warm for you until you woke."
Thalindra replies in a fit of rage "I don't care about the damn Throne! I care about Masaru's safety! How could he be so stupid! Keep the damn seat for now!" And storms off and out of the Throne Room
Back in her chamber Thalindra sits on her bed and sighs and says to herself "Please be safe, my love. I can't do this without you." As she clutches her belly
Back in The South
The Jötnar wait for Masaru at the border of The South
The Jötnar consisted of eleven chaotic beings now but formally they were of thirteen chaotic beings until Malakas killed Drusus and Gorgon. Now the Jötnar consist of Myrkr, Stonebloom, Emberfall, Wraithsong, Wolfsbane, Asbjorn, Alfgeir, Vidar, Thrymr, Valkar, and lastly is the Leader of the Jötnar, Loki. Every single one of them are capable of destroying the country of Odal of they wanted to but don't want to face the wrath of their King Cath.
The ground beneath them begins to shake
Myrkr says "I think he's here"
Loki responds and says to all of the Jötnar "Remember brothers and sisters we aim to kill Makar's King"
Stonebloom says in her devilish tone "Maybe I can turn him to stone and just be done with it"
Thyrmr says "We will all get our chance to dissect the King of Makar"
Masaru atop of Fenrir arrive at the border of The South and suddenly stops as he is intercepted by all eleven Jötnar
"Well well look at that. All eleven of you. This is truly a treat" Masaru says as he gets off Fenrir.
Loki steps forwards ahead of the other ten Jötnar and says "Today is the day you die Masaru. Cath has sent us to collect your head."
Masaru replies "So the eleven of you versus me? Seems fair. Not even six of you will give me the same amount of trouble that your dead brothers gave my brother and their dead because of him. So who will be the first Jötnar to get slaughtered, aye?"
