Some were unable to breathe, while others cried out in pain. I planted the Moon Trident into the ground. Silver light burst outward, pushing against the darkness and the pressure eased.

Taller than any human, cloaked in living shadow, eyes burning with red light that cut through the night. The aura radiated ancient power, far beyond the Overlord, far beyond Ryker.
