Simon vanished before the two bloodlines collided.
He appeared beneath the Byakko's descending paw and caught it with his left hand. His right closed around the Uruqath's fist.
BOOM!
One of his knees struck the ground.
Their strength pressed through him, but his Will reached past the attacks and seized the intentions driving them.
The claw stopped above his head.
The Uruqath's wings strained against something they could not cut.
"You mistake your ancestry for authority."
Simon slowly straightened.
"This is my body. Not a kingdom for either of you to conquer."
The tiger growled. The Daemon's third eyelid twitched.
Simon's eyes became completely black.
Both manifestations recoiled from what looked back through them.
"I don't give two fucks how much I suffered to obtain you. I will shatter you both before I let you decide how I live."
The darkness seemed deeper than his face could contain.
