With the word from the god that announced his death with the finality of a hammer hitting an anvil, his Mental Space gave way beneath the pressure and a tsunami of flames and ice spewed into it and began rushing towards his Palace of Ice, with the size of his Mental Space it would only take a short while to reach it.
"INTERESTING, WHAT IS THAT STRUCTURE WHICH LIES INSIDE YOUR SOUL? TELL ME, AND I SHALL GIVE YOU A MERCIFUL DEATH!"
"You said some of your tasks" Rowan whispered and began to chuckle, the sound began changing to full-blown laughter.
The fact that Rowan's body could now talk was surprising, and the god that was tearing his through his Mental Space paused, "WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?" the surprise in his tone was evident.
Rowan's body began to glow with a golden flame, as the ruptures on his body began to shine with a golden light, his size began to increase, as he seemed to be shedding his mortal form behind, and in a blink of an eye he became twelve feet tall, and his size was still increasing.
With a large crack, his fingers moved and he made a fist, followed by his entire hands being lifted in front of him, gritting his teeth, he began to lift his head up, he spoke softly as if his mind were far away and he was just ruminating on a topic inside his head,
"Since the time I came to know about the truth of the universe. I have always had this fear of gods. How could I not? My most painful encounters came from the gods, the reason I run and fight, most of the blame I'm sure could be assigned to the feet of a meddling god somewhere. With all these distractions, sometimes it is even easy to forget, that the end of your path is just the beginning of mine. Forgive me, for I have forgotten who I am!"
"THE LAST FLARE–UPS FROM A DYING FLAME. YOUR WORDS MEAN NOTHING!"
"On the contrary, it means everything." Rowan laughed, "Your words prove your ignorance about whom you hold inside your Domain, for you told me, that with my body you will be able to accomplish some tasks? How foolish…"
Suddenly, the vast fields of fire and ice around Rowan began to rumble, as loud cracks permeated it and it was spreading. It began from beneath Rowan's feet as his growing size from Eruption was the least of what was happening inside his body, his strength was rapidly multiplying.
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?"
"Your Domain is breaking, fallen god. It cannot contain my body for long."
"YOUR BODY MAY BE STRONGER THAN MOST WELP, BUT I SHALL CRUSH YOUR SOUL AND IT WILL BE MINE!"
The assault on Rowan Mental Space accelerated until it reached his Palace of Ice, and a purple barrier rose up and shielded it from view. The assault crashed over it and began to hammer on the barrier.
