A white hot fireball shot forward as Septimus's wings beat powerfully, a large explosion engulfing the wyrm's face as Septimus shot upwards, evading the incoming Dragon as he twisted round, bracing himself for the Dragon's next move...
"Does it really matter? One way or another, I stand before you. In either case, there's nowhere for me to go. So the question is a moot point" responded Arashi calmly, his eyes never losing their purple tinge. "Your kind are selfish. From the smallest maggot to to greatest god, you all strive for one thing. More" he rumbled as the darkness was forced back just a bit, the Stormweaver seeing fit to give himself a bit of breathing room, though he knew he had no hope of thoroughly fighting off the deity. "If I do not fight, the only choice left is to submit. Submission is death. One need only look at the endless horde of abominations beneath you to realise that. Retreat is pointless, because eventually, your greed will drive you to follow. While a mortal, like the humans fighting at my side, retreat is a possible, perhaps even preferable option to fighting. They may die of old age long before you decide to pursue your greed beyond this land's borders. For an immortal, however, retreat is pointless. And so, I fight" concluded Arashi calmly. By this point, his acute senses and knowledge in Psychomancy had allowed him just enough of a view into the reality of the world around him to know this was an illusion. But he knew Eredar was too powerful to thoroughly fight off until he was further weakened by the mages, and he could not risk continuing to channel the ley energies in this state, without risking counteracting his allies' work...so for now, it seemed, he would be forced to converse with the ethereal being...
"Ah yes, organised chaos. the sign of a clever but ever-busy mind. To the perpetrator, a carefully woven web of belongings and intrigue, but to the bystander? Madness!"
