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.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAzVuFT9QMkV
He smiles, sharp pointers showing.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAz8CBsZTTPV
Traevan’s eyes are a piercing Ruby now, glowing with a quiet power opposite to the spirit.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAxMq5Jm6rkC
As King Theron says this, his body jerks backwards, convulsing violently.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAWxlyUotUCF
He falls onto the floor, the back of his head smacking the wall .
50Please respect copyright.PENANA1LshFadSQy
A seizure overtakes him. His eyes roll to the back of his head.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAKmnvgbuarJ
Metro rushes toward the table.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAGoXXnM23IR
Traevan’s expression turns unreadable.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAOfjcCwnjMQ
He watches Theron seize with no remorse, no concern, no humanity.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAhQIdAI6xn4
Then—slowly— Traevan’s eyes fade back to brown.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAtAQLHK2z0U
Rose’s face twists—slow, sharp, furious—like something ancient waking behind her eyes, as if drawn toward the heat of her rage.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAH9ROOWJHvu
Traeven looks up at her, and for a suspended heartbeat.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAoyxGXXBdnV
Her aura spikes—bright, jagged, unmistakably hostile.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAJKCSkW5sqD
Traeven’s lips curl into a small, knowing smile.
50Please respect copyright.PENANA0nXOGptTMI
Recognition.
50Please respect copyright.PENANAk0Shm6gof5
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.
