Rizzing up tribal baddies

MERYY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE

Julian continued to ponder. "But the stalemate is just for a short time," he muttered, "and it goes back to conflict until the fifth explosion."

He paused, trying to make sense of the sequence. "But why? What's so special about the fifth explosion?" 

He struck his head lightly. "Is it… because during the fifth, destruction overwhelms creation? And then, in the upcoming explosion, creation attacks fiercer in hope of getting back?"

He chuckled to himself. "Eh, maybe..... But would the energy be so childish?" 

The idea that destruction and creation were acting back and forth with such strange rivalry was a fascinating topic. Julian was already aware of this, seeing how they had fought the first time he had his hands on death energy. But the more he observed, the more it felt less like a coincidence and more like a hatred.
