             Having traversed the seemingly immeasurable length of
          Levyuhthanh, Azhah Vahyzthah raised his rapier, stabbing into
          a gaseous cyclone overhead. The seething pentagram, which had
          just been drawn, started tightening from end to end and con-
          stricting Levyuhthanh’s movements. While the drake struggled
          angrily against that snare, its entire breadth began going up in
          blazes very fast. Yet it spat out another abysmal expectoration
          before being burnt to ashes. This projectile was painstakingly
          deflected by Azhah, leaving him momentarily open to an attack.
             Brax abandoned his pet beast, lunging at Azhah in a last-
          ditch attempt to overwhelm the opponent. Those efforts were
          not in vain because Azhah was still recovering. The antimatter
          flail found its mark square in the Archangel’s armour, breaking
          his breastplate and knocking him backward. Rainbow tinted
          filaments emanated from the inflicted wound!
             “It hath been remarkably long since last I beheld mine own
          blessed blood. Such a slight cannot go unanswered. Thy Will
          be broken Baal Abraxah!”

             Azhah Vahyztha’s falchion flared anew and its brilliancy
          blinded Brax for an instant. The Omega Amezhah Zpentah
          seized this important opportunity to slip that sabre’s pointy tip
          through the Alpha Arkhonz’ chain mail, piercing his dark heart!

             The two immortal enemies stood there a little longer than
          Brax needed to say:

             “Be thee cursed, Azhah Vahyzthah! What I hast initiated
          shalt yet reach its apex. Another wilt arise to avenge me.”

             Thence with those words, his metaphysical aggregates dis-
          sipated from Daath.
