"THE SCALES ARE NOTHING BUT MEASUREMENTS OF MASS AND MASS IS MADE OF MATTER. I WONDER, WHAT KIND OF SCALE IS CAPABLE OF MEASURING THAT WHICH HAS NEITHER MASS NOR MATTER ?"

The worlds as we see them, are as volatile and ever changing as any man can imagine. In the wastelands of eternity, all are at an endless and reoccurring conflict of altering wills and motives, one would say infinite. Yet, it was those battles which had brought about the evolution of the present times.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQATonhRW5Y
His form tore out through that massive portal, as the fabrics of time rippled in their infinite waves, all was set to take a new form of the past, that was lingering at the edge of the present. Such contrast as grand as ever, such was the contrasting flashes of those waves of refracting flames which rose to the heavens as Raven crashed to the ground.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIr8V6W0zC
And slowly, Raven rose from the crater which had formed as a result of his fall.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1P1Vf8mcK
"Incredible wasn't it ?", Raven smiled. All was going well and now was the start of the new phase, to forge a new frontier at these ruins the edge of a dying realm trapped in an eternal void of stagnant time.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2029lG9qwn
"I have come all this way to finally meet you", Raven said to that dazzling form of darkness levitating before him.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUWs9HPwef
It was grandiose, that storm of lightning erupting from its being, magnificent and domineering, its form was as pure as the night itself, one could say it was the very presence of a world devoid of impurity, the very essence of the constantly changing rifts of the endless universe of Hayra.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9nZtgbtFf
"A Scale Void", Raven grinned.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZXY8180EA
"You were expecting me", that guttural voice said.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaK3pD7CGX
"Why won't I be ?", Said Raven, charging at that phantom. He had laid out this stage, for all had been a ruse to simply lure out the Scale Void.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xRMocivLe
His robes fluttered with the radiance of his core, it was the ethereal reflection of one who was in harmony with both space and time. The burning eyes of the Scale Void gave away the bottomless sea of the intensity lurking in his soul. With that force rippling through his veins, his being frayed through the distance, leaving the trail of altering dark and bright strings of flames behind him as he countered Raven's charge.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3pydqoP0q
They clashed, the battle began and both were ready to consume the other.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzw34ULuEo
"Do you even know why I'm here ?", Asked the Scale Void.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceWI8BnJTt
"I don't care, it was all a bait anyway and you fell for it", Raven replied as he trailed after the lightning fast form of the Scale Void who altered his way through the fabrics of time, evading and countering Raven's attacks.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltJuW8vN0u
"You seem prepared", the Scale Void commended.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Yxu1Q12C0
"I always am", Raven grinned.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlJZySOvNJ
That storm erupted from Raven's being as he blazed and raged of the fury within his soul. This was the moment, the hour when the next plan would be set into motion, whether he won or lost didn't matter, everything had to be put in place.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw7LdFrY4o
The odds had been staked at the helm of the ship, it was going to be a rumble of waves in this storm and as such, this was the perfect way to set it all in motion. A dice was nothing but an ordinary cube unless, it had been set rolling.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1mQyIEnEz
"And what did they say again ?", Raven whispered, "wasn't it, a rolling dice never runs out of luck ?"
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJGLC5iLKk
As it's not the fate of the dice which was dangling on the noose of time, but the fate of the ones who had placed their hopes on it, a tool and a master, the dice of fate was indeed cruel to its own benefit and advantage and to the imperil of those whose luck had been emblazoned with its numbers.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDwds1j0EL
"You know you cannot win against the Scale Voids", The Scale Void bragged.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcx2DcCB7S
It was a fact, a fact that Raven knew too well, the Scale Voids were indeed an existence beyond the laws of time and what was thrilling is that they hadn't been listed within the ranks of cosmic beings.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh2xDwpHPE
"Which is exactly why I am fighting", Raven said, dodging a bolt of lightning aiming at him.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIJpXH5z3l
They came like a storm, but Raven was sonic in his motion, slithering through their core, he made his way through that burning maze.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIuC0VPpMY
But the Scale Void wasn't done yet, it summoned those pillars of lightning from the sky and they came like spears striking Raven, who parried with all his might.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27wOzmqYOw
"Since you've seen the power I possess", the Scale Void said to Raven whose robes steamed as he emerged from that storm of flames, "then hand it over"
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfREu2sKBvu
"You won't have it just yet even if I wanted to give it to you"
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOeQbEErb5
"What makes you think you are worthy enough to stand in my way !"
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtIxQzrfzW
The Scale Void furious, charged at Raven who countered his attack, they rammed into themselves their robes of flames fluttering to the tunes of their blazing dance of blades and lightning battering through realms and voids, breaching the limits of alternate time loops, the heavens had been defiled by their battle. It was a symphony narrating the madness of cosmic physics in its own distorted tunes. They simply couldn't come to a stop each wanting to tame the other into submission, but neither was willing to give in.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzM2Q8vs9n
"You know what you are standing up against, being from the lower realms"
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtrzZmZ9CK
"Then show me", said Raven "show me just how powerful you really are"
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIVTHI9fis
The battle intensified as Raven's whip tore through the distance, it was burning red as his blazing eyes gave it all out, the Scale Void was even more furious. Summoning the earth of these realms he raised those massive pillars of stones, their cores radiated of the rage of the core of their depths of a thousand realms as those serpentine forms rose from the womb of the earth, hissing as they wound themselves around those pillars, they blocked Raven's strikes rebounding them.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xvWsqGy4q
The Scale Void made his way through that barricade of fire, both collided and the impact was severe, making even the depths of the earth tremble, yet, it wasn't enough, both knew it still wasn't enough to guarantee victory as neither was going to give in.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX81XZqrive
"Do you think you know what is at stake here ?", the Scale Void parried Raven's blow.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRtT2BQX6S
"And who are you to claim righteousness ?!", Challenged Raven, who parried the attacks of the Scale Void.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe07c9vQNaw
The Scale Void broke through the fabrics of distance with his pillars, shattering them into flying shards as they weren't able to contain the rage of his will, even the forces of nature had been pushed to their limits. What were they to complain at this core of a duel of gods ?
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve6UP2n6L8
"You cannot stop me from having it", the Scale Void charged "you cannot stop me from having it"
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmNcqxzA7k
"You want it", said Raven, stretching his right hand forth.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAZlcSuY7c
Opening his palm to the flames rising from them, as they condensed into that blade, which stood upright swirling on its axis as it floated above Raven's palm. It's dark form was as brutal as the dead of night itself and the flames rising from the sword crackled with a sense rage that was alien to the laws of the heavens - the BLADE OF DARK FLAMES.
"You want this ?", said Raven waving it at the Scale Void. "You must know it's worth"
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4vCyWwbVd
This was it, smiled Raven, the first pull of the string, was it going to be an arm or a leg that would react ? What a thrill, that dark smile appeared on Fang's face behind his mask, such were the sadistic tendencies of a master puppeteer.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41ftrY2ZLa
The scale void charged and the only thing it could think about at this moment was that name, the BLADE OF DARK FLAMES.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa8Se2G6DG
"That weapon ..." , The Scale Void swallowed, for once, since the moment he had abducted this strange being he had begun to be wary of him. It wasn't just the fact that he couldn't see through his guise, it was the dark tale that the weapon he was holding at the moment had, a dark and bloody tale written at the edge of its blade.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRvU4Pefrl
"You did well to have it all this while", the Scale Void gasped as he dashed at Raven, who was prepared to confront his raging self. This was it, the very beginning, all they had been doing was a preliminary to the main fight which was about to be held. They clashed and their collision was furious, it was the battle of the century, shaking the very foundations of the earth, this was why they couldn't stop.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAl9qgAFfh
Raven gave his all battling and parrying, his whip was a lashing serpent, cutting through the very depths of the earth as he raged at the Scale Void. But it wasn't a one sided battle, with the Scale Void coming like a whirlwind which couldn't be stopped, both were enthralled in this battle of both mind and will, this was the way of the beings of the heavens, WAR !
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaGPHV0xc5
"You know this isn't enough to take this from me."
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0fAruhcCC
"You mean the BLADE OF DARK FLAMES ?", Replied the Scale Void. "I know it isn't enough, but I'll make sure it becomes enough, I'll rip you apart if I have to you sly beast !"
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHQ8E2SpjZ
"You can try as much as you can, but know this", replied Raven, "you shouldn't underestimate me Scale Void."
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5TxEFHqni
"You were expecting me", the Scale Void said without hesitation, it seems like he had begun to read Raven's game.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FtLWd7mot
"What if I wasn't ?"
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfJ8vZTlQj
"You are too crafty to deny anything but the truth"
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtDtwin46Z
"You can say whatever you want, but this battle has just begun"
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL4utygGht
"Then you've done it, dweller of the EARTH GARMENTS !", The Scale void roared.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYhUOfCwDg
"SCALE ART !", The Scale void rose to the heavens, "SPINAL CALL OF FALLEN ETERNITY !"
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEzJjUr2I5
This was their art, that flaring emblem of that colossal scale, took its burning form behind the Scale Void, the battling prowess of the Scale Voids known as SCALE ART, it was both magnificent and deadly, Raven smiled.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIBnyuWA7L
The scale void charged as his form was engulfed in those dark threads of flames which erupted from his spine and engulfed his entire being. A staff bearing a sharp curved blade at its top taking form in his right palm.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLWvNNmuX0
This was it, THE RAGE OF ETERNITY !
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ee0wmxJId
They rained lightning and fire upon themselves as both rammed into eachother, one trying to overpower the other, but this battle was one which couldn't be won by brawn alone, it was a battle of mind and fist, a battle that was prone to the success of Raven's plan.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFiCj9BQQO
"We shall see how you'll win then", the Scale Void challenged.

The waves of this mighty ocean rose to the heavens and Secregard who was still a child, dressed in his heavenly robes stared at it from where he sat. This was how he had been able to relax his mind in this brimming realm of war.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMBnows8Fq
"What do you think of the savage realms beneath us ?", Secregard's companion sitting beside him asked.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rbRuSIXtP
"I see more than just monsters and darkness", Secregard replied.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9GLnsvSgv
"You are keen on observing don't you think ?"
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykmvmA17Gp
"I know too well what you mean", answered Secregard.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41wXPqn21P
"And about my question", said Secregard.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJregpuLcow
"About what ?", His companion feigned ignorance.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6pZVMSans
"My question ... the answer to my question", Secregard repeated, "the Scale Voids what are they ?"
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx5Kuk1q55
"They are beings who are prone and linked to the existence of the universe of Hayra. You must know that the power they possess is immense once they ascend. That is", his companion sighed, "IF THEY EVER ASCEND."
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4Ie8uuHq2
"Do you think they even exist ?"
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHfcr5RsWU
"We exist yet, we are seen as nothing other than myth and lore isn't that right ?"
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpdaobgOSJ
Secregard sighed, "you must know that I want to see the end of it all"
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJ4Na8wfc3
"The end of what ?" His companion asked that puzzled look on his face.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsp3evUiWH
"The end of it all"

26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaKqyQ5j4t
"You must know I want to see the end of it all isn't that right ?" Said Raven, as his whip wound around the body of the Scale Void.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hpglMIKqJ
It was a chance which he couldn't miss, the battle was still at the start and he was gaining the upper hand and in one split second he sent the Scale Void crashing to the ground. The earth beneath them shattered as he landed, with that steaming mass of flames rising to the skies, this was an infinite battle, one that they had longed for all this while.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlgosrlLSp
"Do you think this is enough to keep me down ?", The Scale Void rose to his feet. "I don't think so, you need to see for yourself before you can come to comprehend the power I possess."
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xDWfL393g
He roared to the sky as he tore at the ground, his anger could be felt even in the distance, yet Raven wasn't fazed. He knew quite well that this was simply a tantrum ...
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRw8ECn6lU
The Scale Void's form faded through the distance as both beings clashed at the centre of this battlefield. They were burning and ready to battle once again, this time, the odds were even as well, they tore at each other, whip for halo and stab for jab they just couldn't stop. This was when Raven knew that the battle had gotten to another phase.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuirswIquSQ
"I hope you know what it means to stand against a Scale Void ? Do you think this is a joke ?! For an ordinary being like you to keep the BLADE OF DARK FLAMES in your possession, a celestial weapon even you don't know the value of. I believe you've only been lucky all his while to have still been alive. The universe would have come hunting you down by now."
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46HfPGQceL
"That doesn't bother me in the slightest, all I care about", Raven delved into the heat of the combat, "is to have you out of my way. So you think", Raven flared, "you know the true meaning and worth of the BLADE OF DARK FLAMES, to you is it just a celestial weapon for you to use as you please. This is more than what even you can fathom, this is a war of the heavens !"
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJBSSDGtxv
"And you think I don't know that", the Scale Void interjected.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NieQzEQA6
"That is left for the outcome of this battle to decide", Raven said as they clashed.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAP6RO1Xv5
The heavens tore apart as both beings clawed at eachother, all they wanted was the BLADE OF DARK FLAMES, their prize. It was all they needed to decide the outcome of this battle, who was it that got to take the BLADE OF DARK FLAMES.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GcFFHS1IV
The Scale Void was fierce as ever, he knew he was up against a contender he knew nothing about, seeing that this being got the BLADE OF DARK FLAMES before him, meant he wasn't just an ordinary person residing in the realm of the EARTH GARMENTS. He smelt something deadly coming from this masked man that he couldn't comprehend.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0mm0ag20h
"Why do you want it so badly ?", Asked Raven.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFimmwMZDw
"Like I said earlier", the Scale Void countered as the battle intensified, "it is none of your concern, you lowlife !"
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpadV3glQWI
"Well then", Raven charged as they locked arms, "we'll see who the lowlife really is after this battle"
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORJAJr3dHK
They fought with all they had Raven against the Scale Void and the Scale Void against Raven, each pushing the other backwards as they tore through the fabrics of time.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXhGhvAynM
But it still wasn't enough to decide a winner from all that struggle, one had to outwit and overpower the other, it was a deadlock and only one could emerge as the victor. They kept at it, not stopping, both unrelenting as they fought with all their might, the fate of the universe dangling on their shoulders, each knew the outcome of this battle would determine the next move that would be part of their scheme.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfb8a9O7Xp
Who knows, Raven thought, the Scale Void might just win. He charged with all he had and the clash of both titans was fierce, they tore at eachother ripping the fabrics of the universe. This was it, Raven sighed, the final lap.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS33gGrNyL7
The storms rose from beneath them as the heavens rattled and rippled with the turbulence at hand. It was furious and the heavens were enthralled by their will, the flames rose to the skies as they erupted from the depths of the earth, bursting with all their might, they concealed the two contenders in their burning waves. Shattering this realm into shards, in their blinding rage of red and white.
