You watch as Leopold, or rather now Adalis, rises into the air, hands crackling with energy. The surrounding crowd that had been summoned along with the pristine city backed away quickly, leaving only you and Adalis in the center courtyard. 

"Do you see now? I was meant to rule this land! I was meant to live a noble's life!!" Adalis shouted at you from the air. "But that so-called KING of yours that you praise so dearly took that away from me! It's all this worthless kingdom's fault!!" Adalis yelled at you, as they summoned sphere after sphere of energy, each a unique color, and hurled them at you. You were able to dodge all but one, which burns your right shoulder. "Agh! What would give someone like you the right to rule a kingdom that is long lost under another?" Your eyes focus in on the crown that Adalis has now put on out of spite, "And you don't deserve that crown! You of all people have no right to defile its legacy!!"

You grab the hilt of your glimmering sword painfully with both hands, the burn on your shoulder hindering your movements as you raise it above your head, ready to attack. "Heh, if you're so keen on making this harder, then have it your way" Adalis chuckles, taking note of your stance. They summon a grand spear, etched carefully with runes long forgotten and glistening with small fragments of crystals embedded in the shaft. 

"||𝙹⚍ ∴╎ꖎꖎ !¡ᒷ∷╎ᓭ⍑ ʖ|| ᒲ|| ⍑ᔑリ↸ ⎓𝙹∷ ∴⍑ᔑℸ ̣ ||𝙹⚍∷ !¡ᒷ𝙹!¡ꖎᒷ ↸╎↸ ℸ ̣ 𝙹 ᒲᒷ..." You're not sure what they just said, but it was threatening nonetheless, making your hands tense around you sword. Adalis raises the spear with both hands and stares at you with a wild look in their eyes. "╎ ᔑᒲ ℸ ̣ ⍑ᒷ ∷╎⊣⍑ℸ ̣ ⎓⚍ꖎ ∷⚍ꖎᒷ∷ 𝙹⎓ ℸ ̣ ⍑╎ᓭ ꖎᔑリ↸ !!!" Adalis screeches at you. 

Adalis charges at you, and you block with your sword, not leaving a dent in the sturdy wooden shaft. You continue to fight, movement after movement, parry, slice, duck, and repeat. Adalis presses forward with their spear, and because of your wounded shoulder you begin to get pushed back towards the edge of the courtyard. Adalis lands a blow on your right arm, rendering it useless now in the fight.

You stand there, panting for breath as you weakly grasp your sword in your left hand. The crowd of people looks on at the scene in wonder, curious of who you each are. The air becomes tense, even making the very space surrounding you both seem to stand still, time slowing more and more. 

Memories.

Those memories of the crown embedded in your mind suddenly race through your thoughts, guiding your hands. Unknowingly, you swing and disarm Adalis, and they fall back onto the ground.

You look at Adalis through disgusted eyes, that don't seem to be yours. "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO STAND WHERE HE STOOD" you shout in defiance of Adalis, while at the same moment, a smaller, quieter voice says it along with you in a regal tone: 'you have no right to stand where I once stood. you had your chance and you knew that you didn't put it to good use.'

"Now leave this land!"
