Far beyond the torn edge of the barrier, Saber's Domain lay over the sky like an unseen jaw. It declared that everything inside it could be measured in one currency: predator and prey.
Still, the Eternal Alloykin inside it did not die easily.
He was not a simple prey.
His resonance smashed against the invisible teeth of Predation, trying to scatter the decision.
Saber, now in his Moonfang Smilodon form, watched with interest. His eyes gleamed with restrained hunger.
"Your kind learned to survive by refusing endings," Saber said. "That is admirable."
The Alloykin Eternal's voice came strained, furious.
"Who are you?! There was not supposed to be an Eternal in Starforge," he said.
Saber smiled.
"You keep repeating what you were told," Saber said. "That is why you will die here."
The Eternal Alloykin roared and his own domain surged, trying to forge a hole through Saber's Domain.
Saber's Domain flexed.
It shuddered.
But it did not break.
