LU 74 - Tori 10

"If this truly is hell, we'll meet here again someday."
Outside of the tunnel, no sun rises on the red horizon of the Nether. No days or nights pass, and still, Tori and Echo stand at rest for possibly their final time. Souls from the brown sand whisper as they gather to welcome a soul soon to be freed from its fragile body, the inevitable consequences of this confrontation.
"Your stupid beliefs gave me hope."
The two draw their swords, Tori's blade sending sparks erupting into flames as he strikes it against the ground.
"We could've been friends, Echo."
Fighting bursts out in the tunnel, Tori and Echo's swords sending sparks flying as they clash; the two fighting until they're breathless, covered in sweat and blood.
"Peace was never an option."
Echo pushes Tori out of a hole in the tunnel into a pool of lava below. The Floran lets their guard down, taking the opportunity to rest for a moment and eat. Tori lands in the lava below the tunnel, pausing to recover before flying back up to the tunnel, striking Echo while their guard is down.
"Your beliefs are poisonous, Echo."
Striking the Floran with his flaming sword, just as their fire resistance wears off, Tori watches Echo go up in flames, yelling out for some time before going silent, dead for the last time. Echo was slain by Tori using [Fire's Fury]. Watching the floran collapse, Tori waits for another moment or two, making sure they're dead before taking Echo's charred, withered skull and walking away.
