[Ardyn went very still at that; not out of consideration, but as though he'd been slapped in the face.]
[His brother? His brother, who hadn't even been an afterthought in such an idyllic world? There was no point in resurrecting Somnus Lucis Caelum, even if only to kill him. Ardyn had basically done that already, now hadn't he? Not that manipulating the Wall and the Lucii had come to much, but it had been some faint satisfaction.]
[His brother didn't deserve the acknowledgement. Didn't even deserve Ardyn taking him apart and watching him suffer. And the idea that the person he despised most in all the ages of the world would be invoked so carelessly only made the cruel smile turn to a snarl, voice dropped to a low and vicious growl:]
[Ardyn threw the sword upwards, following it in a streak of magenta light to get himself airborne at a better angle. Let him break his legs on the way down for all he cared, it would just regenerate. Flames returning to his hand, he threw another Fire spell in midair--it was no Firaga, but he would have to be creative.]
So why don't you find happiness in a mercifully quick death--?!

I don't take offers from gods.
