We wanted to be our own legends, the only heroes of our story. To test the boundaries of what challenges we could take on, we sought out the King of Dragons. The one who brought calamity on Eorzea. A fiend slain by many, even alone by a handful of adventurers, but we had our eyes set to slay this beast. There was no reward sought, we simply wanted to know that we could defeat it, with our strength.

We entered the final coil, staring into the face of Bahamut Prime. With its luminous cobalt scales, a wingspan of an airship, and eyes glowing with a scarlet bloodlust, it waited for us to make our first move. I took the front as our shield, as he vowed to keep me standing, and we charged in. With each earthshaking strike and blazing breath, I endured each hit, while my partner cured my wounds. The onslaught came relentlessly, but it was nothing we couldn’t handle. We have fought side by side before, a trial like this was not too foreign to us.

While fending off Bahamut, partner was targeted by the many dark orbs that appeared around us. I rushed to stand in the way of each one. After taking 6 of them, I was sliver away from defeat, but he turned the tides and protected me, and had me standing once more.

Angered by our persistence, he called down his many brood to bring us to our knees. With each one’s murderous intent eyed on me, I took the force of each attack. It was nothing compared to the King of Dragons, but their numbers proved to be great. With our focus on the treacherous army, we were not prepared for what happened next. We were targeted by Twintania and Bahamut, ready to push us into our doom. My partner was directly in the midst of their charge, not knowing before it was too late. With his last stand, he offered the rest of his aether to bring me to my best, and fell as both of the dragons striked down. I then stood alone, against the coming impact of the beast’s Tetra Flare.

Filled with fury and determination, I took the brunt of the attack and stood tall, ready to bring the beast down. With whatever I had, I took each hit of my onslaught, with no one to recover what I lost. Driven forward to not waste what was given me, I fought until there was no fight left to fight. With one final strike of my blade, we brought down Bahamut, and my friend, brought back to my side.

A feat that we didn’t know could be done by us, ill equipped with both gear and knowledge. Many others may have brought the King of Dragons down themselves, but for us, we left triumphantly, with our heads held high. Just two adventurers that began their journey together, seeking out something new. This was our story, our legend. The legend of Zarian Darvik and Sethney Souvanna, the ones who together, slayed the King of Dragons.
