I raised my fist and beat my chest, and the sound echoed throughout the barren chamber, where Dagoth Ur and I stood facing each other. He asked my questions, and I asked him my own - we are mad, honorable people. He is mad through the power of that old god's heart; I am surely mad for opposing him. We each play our role. We ask and give answers.
He tells me nothing that I have not already been told or understood on my own; my answers are the only new things. I do not know his face, though he thinks me to be another god. I do not remember him.
My words are feints and twists of a knife.
Our conversation is finished, and, as I thought, he strikes first. It is a pathetic blow, weak with age and insanity. I raise my fist; the hamer I carry meets the flesh of his chest with a meaty crunch, and he falls, clutches the broken wound and disappears.
He is just like a child, running away from his problems.
The door opens, and I run into it, unknowing of what awaits me. How could I have known? How could I have expected or ascertained the existence of this monstrosity?
It is terrifying.
This construct - not a construct, but a machine - not a machine but a GODMACHINE! - awaits me. It is massive, all coated in the roiling, bloody fog of the volcano's heart.
I am unaware of anything else, and for that I burn. My shield arm, encased in fire, is a lightning rod of agony, and I see him. My enemy. My ab-friend. Dagoth Ur.
Alive.
It is unexpected, but I do not have time to understand this. I only have time to attack. And that, I do. I hammer away at him, chipping at his magical defenses. He is unlike he was. He is able to take the blows, to laugh them off. So, I push.
I push, and he falls.

The heart breaks before me, and the godmachine is laid to waste.
I have beaten Dagoth Ur tonight.

Wow, hey thanks guys. I appreciate the feedback. Actually, it was completely unexpected; I didn't think anybody would reply to that little snippet.
As for the signature, it's not mine. It's a song by Zao off of their Self-Titled album. I put that as my signature, because that's the best break-up song ever.

Thanks again,
Dream ...
