Reala spoke out, breaking the silence of the kitchen and initiating for the elder nightmaren to attack his once comrade.
Reala only had one second to react to the punch Selph was going to send to his face. Reala hurled himself out of harm's way, causing for Selph to embed his fist into the wall where Reala's face once was. Due to how deep the impression was in the wall, Reala was sure he would have had to invest in an all new face if the punch did make contact.
"S-Selph!?" "How did you get out of the jewel!?" "When did you-Why now of all times!?"
The red and black nightmaren screamed at what he was looking at. The once "fallen" Selph was glaring at him as he popped his slightly bleeding fist free from the wall.
Reala remembered about how he imprisoned Selph in the first place. He challenged Selph into a duel, Reala pulled a mirror out on the very last minute Selph was going to entrap him into a jewel, and caused for Selph to get trapped instead. He thought that after Selph was gone, that would be the end of it. Selph's "death" would of just been another skeleton to add to the closet of countless acts he has done under Master Wizeman's rule.
But frankly that skeleton had more than a copious amount of life left inside of him.
"One and Two: I got out of the jewel after NiGHTS hit you with that final ball." "You know, I thought you'd be smart enough to not wear your "trophy" for everything you attend you...like if it was supposed to be this badass secret when only you were about it!"
The eldest nightmaren hissed at Reala as he stepped closer, his heels clicking on the tiled kitchen floor.
"As for three?" "Three can wait."
Selph shrugged as he lunged at the red and black creature, the heeled end of Selph's boots almost making contact with Reala's face. Reala dodged at the very last minute, only to be welcomed with more kicks to either block or avoid all together.
Reala tried his best to stop the majority of the kicks that were coming either to his face or to the sides of his body. However, due to him not having his armor on his form, Reala had to swallow various grunts of pain as the sharp heels cut into his arms. The cuts burned as they broke into Reala's skin, the slightly deep cuts slowly dripping with blood.
The muscular nightmaren continued to hold his ground as he was wailed upon by kicks he had to inevitably get cut by unless if he wanted to air knocked out of him or if he wanted a new face. It wasn't until that one of Selph's legs raised up high in the air before Reala lunged himself out of the way.
"Face me your insolent swine!"
Selph screams out at Reala as Reala tried to figure out what his choices were.
He was pretty sure that apologizing was out of the question and he is sure if he fell back on the whole "we have to think about reproduction" excuse that it would get him killed and his blood painted all over the kitchen walls. But it has been so long since Reala has ever talked to Selph, that he doesn't really have that much of a good idea of what he could use in his favor.
The only option Reala could see was to tire Selph out, then explain his side of the story. He cracked his knuckles before he charged at Selph. As he threw his fist to hit either Selph's face or his waist, the eldest nightmaren dodged and weaved away from the punches as he started to throw some of his own. Some of them made contact with Reala, but only enough to graze the skin on his face.
Both nightmaren panted as they continued to try to land a shot on the other. It wasn't until Reala tilted his head, pulling it back to make contact with Selph's head. The force of the hit was excruciating for both parties, but more more to Selph for one of Reala's fist followed his head with a nasty jab into the wall.
The effeminate eldest nightmaren cough as he struggled to get up. Reala saw a drop or two of blood dripping onto the floor. As for Reala, he was unable to tell how tired he really was, the adrenaline in his body keeping him on edge for what the eldest nightmaren would do now. This still didn't help with his delays reaction time and the slow bloodloss that was inflicting him due to the shape edges of Selph's heels cutting into his flesh.
It only took one touch with his finger for Selph to see that his lips weren't only bleeding, but they were bust open. He glared, charged, and round up for a massive kick which made contact for Reala's side. Reala was sent hurling through the nearest window, his now bloody back landing on the cold dirt under the glass.
Reala grit his teeth as he tried to get up, only to see, to his dismay, he has ran out of much of his energy. Plus, he was unable to breath for the kick to his side knocked the wind out of him. The red and black nightmaren groaned as he used to time to check if his limbs were working. Everything was working perfectly.
The eldest nightmaren, on the other hand was walking closer to the younger nightmaren, now holding a long weapon that gleamed in the nightlight. The weapon looked similar to a rapier. What Reala was able to see before Selph forced his head back to the earth was that the rapier like weapon was long and made out of a long and red crystal
"Any last words before I kill you brother?"
Selph asked the red and black creature, his own eyes flowing with a homicidal desire to finally end Reala's life.
"...Just tell NiGHTS I will always love him and our child."
The red and black nightmaren instructed for Selph to follow the final wishes he had on his mind. Rather for Selph to freeze from what he was about to do, Selph cackled madly.
Just as Reala was about to raise his head up again, Selph harshly pushes it down as he tries to make sense of what he just heard,
"Y-you are trying to throw me off...are you?" "It won't work.." "IT WILL NOT WORK!" "You hear me Reala!" "Your games will not work on me anymore!" "I will be free from your control!" "From your prison!" "You will finally KNOW THY SINS!"
Reala just stayed still, for he was out of energy to really put up a fight. He just looked up at Selph, frightened he caused for Selph to slip so badly into the deep end. The caring and maternal nightmaren he imprisoned was dead and gone...just like he would be soon.
