Challenges: Becoming the Tamer King: Azulongmon's Task
There is a moment in battle when a mon knows that the battle is won or lost. It's an instant second, a subtle shift in energies, and suddenly it's all over. I've always had to listen to the others explain it to me, but I could never understand it. Not until now, while I stare, challenging, at Devimon, and everything becomes clear.
It's not like they've told me. I don't suddenly feel powerful, and I don't feel my power slipping. Nothing feels wrong, I'm not fighting myself, but I don't feel the planets aligning in my favor.
What I do feel is my power and my energy. I feel my power in my core and at my fingertips, ready to do my bidding, I feel the way my energy matches perfectly against Devimon's. I feel the way we clash and match simultaneously, and suddenly I understand how to end this. Yes, there is a sudden clarity, but this doesn't feel like winning.
No, it's not a victory, but it's a far cry from defeat.
At least I can come back to TK. I can't say the same for Devimon.
