The boy flew backwards, the muddy earth covering his form as he came to a halt and propped himself back up. He did it quickly in an attempt to look more threatening, but Asa knew the effort he probably needed to do it so briskly. Though the boy seemed to be a bit emotional, he appeared to be more aggressive then ever. The words he spouted sliced Asa harder then any blade. ““Shutup! What makes you think we’re anything the same!? You’re a coward who didn’t even avenge his parents deaths! They’re not proud of you… they probably HATE you!”
Asa’s eyes bulged at the boys accusation. Hate me? Is it possible? His hands began to clinch and it took a visible effort to keep himself from charging the boy. It was but a moment, but the boy seemed to vanish from sight. Gone from the sages realm. Asa’s crimson pupils glistened as he appeared to be on the verge of tears. The boy was gone, but Asa’s words lashed out to him regardless.
“You little whelp. You think you’re the only person who ever wanted revenge for a family member. Who should I seek revenge against? There were so many involved in that battle, figuring out the owner of one or two kunai is near impossible. Should I declare war on the entire village we were fighting against? There were numerous villages on that field of battle.”
Asa’s began to roar, and fury fueled him. Emotion dripped from his tongue. He was not able to control his words. He wanted the boy to feel the same heart wrenching blow that had been leveled against him.
“I was with my parents when they died. I was the one who listened to my father’s last words. They weren’t words condemning anyone, or wishing harm to anyone else. You can’t enjoy revenge when you pass on to the next world. Revenge is only a construct for the living you selfish little bastard.”
Asa’s speech cut off now, into inaudible sobs. He collapsed to his knees, his right forearm whipping what he would only claim to be sweat away from his eyes. Choked words lashed out, “I hope you choke on that second tomoe you son of a bitch.”
Trickles or ‘sweat’ ran down his cheeks as the sage began to speak to him. It was only now that Asa took note of the lack of emotion within the sages voice. He was complimenting Asa’s skill sure, but it was as if he was addressing a toy he had just finished playing with. Asa was forced to fight the boy, the way the sage had wanted. He was forced into this realm apparently because of the sage, and apparently the sage could send him from this realm with nothing more then a thought. His play at being a god wasn’t fantasy here.
Pulling to his feet, Asa nodded at the sage. “Listen goldie…I’ll go through the portal. I want strength, don’t get me wrong. I just think the reasons for the acquisition of power, is more important then the trials one faces to get it.” Turning on his heels, Asa’s slow steps would carry him through the portal.
