falling into a dream (the sun sets in the east).

Damian clashed against his alter.

Embers of Flame spun off into the far reaches of the room, scattering across the black-iron sands and fading away into nothingness. Ruinous streams of the Deep ripped free from the walls, scouring riptides manifested from the infinite Void. 

"Is—that—all—you've—got?!"

The Interloper howled with all his might, spittle flying from his lips as his twin feathers ripped through the air, narrowly missing the space where Damian's vital organs had just been. Fighting barefoot, the future-borne Damian kicked up a spray of black sand as he pivoted on the spot, his muscles twisting in an inhuman manner. 

"Fuck!"

Damian spat blood as he threw himself sideways, hitting the ground.
