Many people had imagined what a clash between Demigods would look like.
The prospect of Radahn fighting Godwyn was especially captivating.
Some works included descriptions of such encounters. Their sales were surprisingly good.
Sometimes, though, they changed the names and added a degree of fictionalization and an alternate setting.
This was different from making up stories about Radagon and publishing them in Caria.
Godwyn and Radahn's popularity was plain for all to see in the Lands Between.
Anyone who made up stories smearing those two might find themselves reported in no time.
Once reported, they would not be far from losing their head.
The soldiers on both sides had never imagined that the first duel between Demigods they witnessed would be between Radahn and Godrick.
Rumor in the Lands Between had it that even a reasonably strong mortal could defeat Godrick.
No one had verified the truth of that rumor.
Yet many people had independently chosen to believe it.
Judging by his appearance, Godrick simply did not look like someone who could fight.
His face was pale, as though he had overindulged in drink and women, and his arms and legs were so scrawny that he looked incapable of carrying anything on his shoulders or lifting it with his hands.
Then there was Radahn. The words "the build of a giant" summed up his entire appearance.
The difference between the two was glaring, like an elephant and an ant.
Could anyone imagine an elephant trying to step on an ant, only for the ant to flip it over? Perhaps that might happen in a work of fantasy.
But surely no one had ever seen it in reality.
So Godrick fighting Radahn was an ant trying to shake an elephant-he had no idea of his own limits.
