Magic Water slowly drips down in the void, emptiness, darkness, coldness. Darkness. Light. Darkness. From it appeared a lion, tall, strong, on his back legs, mane dancing, mouth shut. An eye-less gaze looks in the distance, into emptiness.
From a different corner of the void, a snake eye appeared. After the eye the head appeared and after it the whole body. Bright green scale shine with an eerie glow. Mouth opened wide, fangs showing, it hissed. The lion remains the same, cold and emotionless. The snake moved. The lion stood.
