"Asura?"

BAM.

"Asura?  Is that you?"

BAMBAMBAM.

"Um...hello?"

"Yes?"

"YAAAAARGH!!"

"Shhh.  Not so loud."

"Don't sneak up in me like that!  That nearly killed me."

"I'm sure I did."

"What the hell is with you and that sound.  You're making one hell of a racket."

"What are doing awake?  You're preventing me from making my racket."

"What?"

"I know how you feel, now go back to sleep I've got more sounds to make."

"What are you doing at night making noises?"

"Ask your mom that, she'll love to answer."

"Asura."

"Oh fine.  I was practicing."

"Practicing what?"

"How to use your Aspect."

"Aspect?"

"Your power.  I'm naming it Aspect.  It's nicer on my tongue."

"You can't just name shit like that."

"Yes I can.  I'm older than all of you.  Gives me naming rights."

"You haven't told me what my power is."

"Aspect."

"I DON'T CARE."

"Remember that night when i covered you in cornworm blood and hung you from that tree?"

"How can I forget."

"Don't sound so mad about it.  Thanks to that, you can now do this."

The tree right  next to where they were talking suddenly imploded and fell to the ground in the most comical way possible.

"Whoa."

"Submission.  That's what you can do.  Make anything completely submit to you as long as you can overpower its will."

"Like a king."

"More than a king.  An emperor."

"Three letters don't make a difference."

"We'll see.  We're moving out."

"Why?  Wait till dawn.  I'm still sleepy."

"Shiet's coming for your village in two hours."

"What is sleep?  Let's go."
