He, the sovereign of fire and gravity, reduced to the rank of prey by a shadow he thought he had banished for eternity. Fear, that feeling he was used to instilling in his enemies, now flowed in his veins like a burning poison.

"I AM THE LION!" he shouted, his voice vibrating at a frequency that made the floating debris implode. "I WILL NOT LET MYSELF BE ERASED BY A GHOST!"
