[GTS] To devour is to survive, that is the way of life for all those who transcend the confines of the Insignificant things called planets, who break the laws of mortality and go beyond the sanity of reason, that is the way of a Devourer of worlds...
Kaelen scanned his surroundings, his eyes darting across the strange pink hills that towered around him, smooth and unbroken. The air was warm, faintly perfumed with something unfamiliar, and it only fueled his disgust. He clenched his fists as he muttered, "Despicable." His voice grew louder, full of defiance. "You would call this a battlefield?"

With a burst of energy, he sprinted forward, his feet pounding against the fleshy ground as he closed the distance to one of the pink walls surrounding him. The surface loomed high above, faintly glistening, and he swung his fist with all his might, striking it with a force meant to split stone.
The ground beneath him quaked—not from his strike, but from the thunderous vibrations that suddenly filled the air. A sound, light and playful, echoed all around him, growing louder and louder until it filled his head, making him stagger back. It was laughter—giggles that rippled through the air like a child's, yet each note was deafening, vibrating through his very bones.
Kaelen dropped to his knees, clutching his head. "My head," he groaned, pain shooting through his skull as the sound threatened to overwhelm him.
"Sorry, sorry!" Zephora's voice rumbled, a mixture of mock concern and amusement. The sheer scale of her words made the ground quiver beneath him. "It's just... you're so cute!" Her giggles subsided, replaced by an indulgent tone. "A little warrior like you, so fierce, so determined... it's adorable."
Kaelen's vision blurred with rage. His fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned white as he pushed himself to his feet, glaring up toward the sky—or whatever sky existed in this strange battlefield. "Face me like a proper warrior!" he bellowed, his voice echoing off the pink walls. "On equal terms! Fight me fairly!"
Zephora's giggles bubbled up again, her tone dripping with playful mockery. "Oh, you want me to take you seriously?" she teased. "You want a fair fight? How noble!" She paused, clearly savoring the moment, before her voice softened, a hint of genuine intrigue lacing her words. "Very well, little warrior. You've entertained me enough for now."

Kaelen gritted his teeth as the air grew still, the oppressive weight of her presence shifting. Then, her voice boomed, louder than thunder. "Here I come!"
