Blood washed all over the pristine white marble walls of the temple, shallow cracks appearing from the tremor of the battle, destroying the marvelous structure.

Sunless felt dreadful, he hasn't slept in days and found himself fighting the mad prince. The future version of himself.

Their swords clashed against eachother endlessly, the battle continuing for a few minutes, no one faltering just yet, but Sunny knew his demise was to come.

The mad prince was toying with him, the thousand years of experience his counterpart has aquired, gave him an overwhelming advantage.

The mastery of the sword the mad version of him possesed was unimanagable for Sunny, the flow of the battle was solely being controlled by him. 

Even the sovereigns wouldn't be able to dominate a battle against Sunless this easily, yet here he was. Being forced back like his old self, back on the forgotten shore.

Nostalgia filled Sunny's mind, the dreadfull yet enlightening first nightmare, meeting the cohort...

The dead corpses of his friends flashed in his mind, anger seething through his whole body.

He wasn't going to falter this easily.

The strikes of his opponent left after-images and made his muscles ache from the bare force.

Yet despite being pushed back from the blows, Sunny grinned.

The mastery of Shadow dance was still not fully completed, and now he knows what the last step to complete it is.

It's to fight... Himself.

The sound of clashing swords started feeling dull to his ears, the movement of his sword becoming translucent and slower, the intent of his strikes visible to Sunny now.

Some deep forgotten emotion stirred within his consciousness, yes, this was it.

A sinister grin slowly creeped up his scar filled face, the thrill of the battle, the will to learn, oh how has he missed this feeling.

Everything around Sunny became a distant blur, he only wanted to focus on this, the marvellous swordsmanship the mad prince demonstrated.

The aching of his muscles faded away, the exhaustion washing away.

This feeling... It's strange, while facing him before, it was clear his body wouldn't be able to keep up with the style.

But now... it was a different story.

He sped up, his shadow wrapped closely around his body. Reinforcing his body and strength.

A laugh could be heard in midst of this battle, it was Sunny.

"YES! SHOW ME MORE!"

The strikes became faster, deadlier. And this is exactly what Sunny wanted. To fight like there's no tomorrow.

The mad prince eyes glimmered with excitement, the lips of the dark figure curling upwards in a grin.

A distorted voice came out of his mouth, as if he was restricted to speak, yet Sunny could heard the words cleared than ever.

"Yes Sunless... this is who you are. You never cared about them, that stupid girl. She was holding you back! THIS IS WHO YOU ARE! A WARRIOR!"
