Shiny

Author notes:

I'm glad people are reading these.

Summary:

Callum and Rayla take on Aaravos to beat him once and for all.

Ruins laid about and around the two combatants. One on her knees tried and broken and the other standing before her not a sign of tiredness upon him. Two elves, one of the moon, and one of stars. Both unaware of the third figure wandering in the shadows.

"You impress me assassin. What is your name?" She didn't answer. "You moonshadow elves are a stubborn bunch as always. You remind me of that young man Runaan I think his man was." "Where is he?" "Ahh so she can speak. Tell me where's your friend hiding and I'll give you what you want." He stalked around her. "Let me tell you a story about myself." Callum walked around to hide.

Aaravos raised his staff as magic flowed forth and wrapped around Rayla.

Aaravos:

Well, Aaravos hasn't always been this glam

I was a drab little star once

Now I know I can be happy as a clam

Because I'm beautiful, baby (looks towards the stars)

Did your mommy say, "Listen to your heart"? (Pressed his staff in her chest)

"Be who you are on the inside"?

I need three words to tear her argument apart

Your mommy lied (grins)

Aaravos:

I'd rather be shiny (his stars on his skin lighten up a little)

Like a treasure from a sunken pirate wreck

Scrub the deck and make it look shiny

I will sparkle like a wealthy woman's neck

Just a sec, don't you know? (Looks down at a pond and sticks his hand in it)

Fish are dumb, dumb, dumb

They chase anything that glitters, beginners (the fish swim towards it)

Oh, and here they come, come, come

To the brightest thing that glitters (drains them of magic)

Mmm, fish dinners (his eyes glow a bit)

Aaravos:

I just love free food

And you look like seafood

He slowly drains Rayla of her magic. "Hey space slug! (I got nothing for space puns.) Aspiro!" Nothing happens. Aaravos smiles and looks at the screen with a smile.

Aaravos:

Well, well, well

Little Cali's having trouble with his look

You little semi-demi-mini-mage

Ouch! What a terrible performance

Get the hook! Get it? (His magic gets hold of Callum)

You don't swing it like you used to, man (flings Callum into a pile of rubble)

Aaravos:

Yet I have to give you credit for my start (walks over to Callum)

And your feelings on the outside (crouched down to Callum)

For just like you I made myself a work of art

I'll never hide, I can't (magic grabs both Rayla and Callum)

Aaravos:

I'm too shiny

Watch me dazzle like a diamond in the rough (bows)

Strut my stuff, my stuff is so shiny (looks to Rayla)

Send your armies but they'll never be enough (looks to Callum)

My shell's too tough, Cali man

You could try, try, try (flings him around)

But you can't expect a demimage

To beat a celestial body (looks at the screen) Look it up

You will die, die, die (flings them both around)

Now it's time for me to take apart

Your aching hearts (places his hand over his heart)

Aaravos:

Far from the ones who abandoned you both

Chasing the love of these people you care for

Who made you feel wanted

You try to be tough

But your armour's just not hard enough (flings both in the air)

Aaravos

Cali! Now it's time to kick your hiney (smacks him with his staff)

Ever seen someone so

Aaravos:

Shiny?

Soak it in cause it's the last you'll ever see (grabs Callum)

C'est la vie mon ami, I'm so shiny (spinning faster with both)

Now I'll eat you so prepare your final plea (stops spinning)

Just for me (bags Callum)

Aaravos:

You'll never be quite as shiny (his eyes start glowing)

You wish you were nice and shiny (begins to drain both of them of magic)

Off in the distance a small figure watches. "Come on bait we need to do something." The glowed road said nothing to his friend as his owner began to plan.
