Theron:
‘O Lord! Have mercy on me, as You have had on our people! Have that same mercy upon me… and my people!’

The words crash into the room like a wave—and Traeven feels the impact in his bones. His composure fractures. His eyes ignite, red and sharp, like twin vipers rising from some underworld pit. The glow cuts through the dim chamber, slicing across the starlight ceiling and the trembling bodies kneeling below.

Slow motion overtakes him.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA8MheBBY5ln
He smiles, sharp pointers showing.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA4Fc3wATD24
Traevan’s eyes are a piercing Ruby now, glowing with a quiet power opposite to the spirit.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAAZxvurUuTp
As King Theron says this, his body jerks backwards, convulsing violently.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAaVbXzv1JX8
He falls onto the floor, the back of his head smacking the wall .
44Please respect copyright.PENANAJo6RwdRaTn
A seizure overtakes him. His eyes roll to the back of his head.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAcel6FkIDz9
Metro rushes toward the table.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA7eXfODmJuk
Traevan’s expression turns unreadable.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAnabN0fmjNs
He watches Theron seize with no remorse, no concern, no humanity.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA2IJ4kprGsU
Then—slowly— Traevan’s eyes fade back to brown.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAytDS7kQrYu
Rose’s face twists—slow, sharp, furious—like something ancient waking behind her eyes, as if drawn toward the heat of her rage.
44Please respect copyright.PENANA6BPzsQKVSK
Traeven looks up at her, and for a suspended heartbeat.
44Please respect copyright.PENANATDcUDMq8fA
Her aura spikes—bright, jagged, unmistakably hostile.
44Please respect copyright.PENANApfT325kFS4
Traeven’s lips curl into a small, knowing smile.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAgI7qXKYUg0
Recognition.
44Please respect copyright.PENANAPLlb4mgVT3
Then, without a word, he turns and walks out the back door—smooth, unhurried, as if the entire spiritual upheaval behind him were nothing more than a mild inconvenience.
