Out of the dark wood, Ravana finally appeared. He gnashed his teeth, his eyes gleamed like fire. When we were now close up with one another, the Demon Lord was first to speak with unwavering boldness.

"O weakling children, how timely! Now you all gathered together for the moment of your death!" he laughed. "The terror of my return shall haunt your race through all the ages. Blame no one but your doomed fate!"

"King of Asuras, you know you shall fall not by the hand of a god or man but a mortal girl!" Tusita cried. "The prophecy of the Lord is infallible, and my friend will slay you with a mighty blow, and all your heads will fall down like leaves such is her true power!"

Ravana growled.

"Then I shall override fate itself!" he cried. "Once I have all your heads, I will storm your city and the heavens will follow in flames!"

He summoned his celestial astras again.

We were poised to plunge ourselves into the jaws of battle. I turned to my friends with a nod, and they immediately split into two bands. Each spread out from both sides of me while I remained facing the formidable King.

The avatars circled Ravana as he strode heavily forward. Everyone tried to stay out of the reach of his deadly weapons. Tusita was the one to commence the attack.

"By the great bow of Shiva, die you ten-headed insect!" she cried and sent an arrow flying into Ravana's colossal body. The thunderous dart blasted at his left side, startling him with a scream of fury. Another explosive arrow struck him between two of his heads. It blew a big hole in his reddish flesh, but the hole began to heal itself again.

Vorac sent a rain of arrows from a hill, aiming at his eyes. None of them missed, but the eyes restored themselves once Ravana ripped the arrows out with a growl. Never was the great demon blinded, not even for a moment.

Atith threw his celestial spear upon the demon king's leg. Again, it hit the target and again it was fruitless. All of their efforts were merely to irritate Ravana even more. They tried to distract him, and he knew it.

Ravana brought down his oversize weapons upon the avatars while healing himself in the process. His enormous body swirled about, trying to fight us in every direction.

As he concentrated on my other friends, Tepi blew the horn of Mother Earth. Ravana did not see the crack opening beneath his feet. The ground began falling away before he realized what was happening. He lost his balance into the abyss. One of his legs slipped through the fissure.

Stunned, Ravana fought to regain his footing before he could be swallowed whole. But as he tried to take a step, his other leg also slipped into the opening. His body fell deeper and deeper. Two of his hands grasped the surface, and he began the work of freeing himself out of this trap.

This was the moment of Samudra, the son of the god of the sea. He commanded the great sheet of water from the river. It rose high into the air like a transparent blanket towards us. On his call, the water underground also surged from the earth below. The element poured over Ravana and filled the crack. The hole, in which Ravana was stuck, was turned into a quagmire of sand, water, and mud. Whenever Ravana tried to climb out, he would slide back into the giant pit.

All the while, Ravana was under the constant attack. Almost every second, he got hit by a celestial arrow or a slash of the spear point. His skin was burned and torn new wounds over and over, but each blow that cut through his gigantic body was not long-lasting.

It did wear him out, and the strength of Ravana began to ebb away. He could not see and hear everything around him as shapely as before.

It was my time to act. I crouched and sprinted forward faster as I could. My feet barely touched the ground as I stormed the hill. Ravana's struggling body was soon below me.
