(Blume)
I know you were expecting this to happen. You're not even surprised.
Giant silhouette hiding the sun, looking down at me, on me, one step away. Had you got a mouth on this colourless head, it would be grinning, right?
I wish we never met you. I wish you never were... Like that...
In the end, you brought misery to us. You're no more responsible than a wild beast is, or a disease. You're our disease, Ogre.
More truly, you're our sin...
I feel responsible for what you are and what you did.
You're our cursed child...
I open my arms kindly. I smirk painfully as I'm still dead scared inside.
B - Your mother has returned once again Ogre. Won't you come and embrace me?
I hear her wrath, her anger, like a burning hot stream of air against my skin.
But of course, even a monster like her can understand when something is obviously not right.
But I also know that she won't crush me where I stand. She cannot let me go like that, she needs to torture me again.
She needs to overpower me and play with my feelings before killing me.
She's so frustrated now. She wants to kill me right away but that would go against her desire for torture. And if she gets close to me, she can tell I have something ready against her.
I have something ready for you my child. More than one thing actually.
This time, you're mine...
She shrinks into her human silhouette. Dark Blue. She looks angry, so angry.
O - You really are like us, Rose. This makes me very happy...
I grin sadistically. She thinks I'm Rose... I'm beginning to laugh. I laugh a lot with a tone of insanity.
This is just too good to be true.
B - And I wasn't sure of what would come, but now I know for sure... Poor child. Your days of wild behaviour are over Ogre. Before this day's end, you will be no more.
I point at her. It's a defy. Try to stop me (bitch). Try to make my words not come true.
You've already lost, but you're too proud to escape now.
She has doubts and of course she cannot quite believe me right away.
She lost her smile though.
A faint one returns on her dry lips.
O - Let us see about that then...

Despite our human shapes, us fighting makes us stand on a different ground. Our bodies are mere puppets, they can only do what we make them do. They also are less bound by normal limitations of humans.
She clawed half my head and brain out. There's blood all over me, yet, I don't die. I laugh at this pain. I rip her arm off and rip it again in pieces.
Stormy clouds gather above us. What we throw at each other looks like punches but is more an idea of raw energy. We're two fires trying to extinguish the other one by blowing it extinct.
Only I know that she's a thousand fold more powerful than I am. I will fail on the field of strength. But by making her play on the one I drew her to, it opened her known flaws to me.
And if it kills me... Well.
It doesn't really matter.
Someday, I'll return... The only question or doubt in my mind is whether Rose will still be when I return...
She shrieks and jumps far up in the air.
She returns to her giant dark body, but she also prepares a powerful attack. I can feel the fear of death rising within me.
She's about to vaporise me.
I grab the small heart artefact and consume it to protect myself.
An explosion of magma suddenly occurs where she lands. The air itself catches fire and burns along with everything around us. The earth is scorched and the hot gazes flowing around burn my skin rapidly.
I stand up again.
I will never have such a power to destroy... She could do it again anytime if she wanted to.
But she thinks that she just won with this demonstration of power. She shrinks again. I can hardly move or breathe, burnt to crisp all over.
She's walking toward me as my skin flakes into ashes here and there.
O - It's too bad... You lost it.
The small artefact was only a decoy.
She grabs my neck and lifts me up with her one hand. With her fingers, she breaks my spine and chuckles. I'm paralysed.
While she holds me, I contaminate her body.
She doesn't realise that the real me is infiltrating her, while she's focused on that body.
I won. She thinks so too.
O - Well, I guess things can't always be as fun the second time around.
She said the same thing...
They have their similarities... There's a thought that I almost had, but lost.
Her eyes suddenly looked at something past me. Something surprising her.
No...
She crushes my neck in a laugh. My head falls next to my body on the burnt soil.
And not far behind, I see Rose as I feared...
