Kael's vision blackened for a moment. His breath hitched, and when his sight returned he found himself standing in front of a cave dwelling deep inside a forest. He looked around slowly, confused, trying to understand where he had ended up.
Before he could take a step, a heart-wrenching roar cut through the air. The sound shook the heavens and earth as if the entire world trembled with it. Kael crossed his arms in front of his chest as shockwaves of air slammed into him one after another.
He lowered his arms and stared ahead.
Then he saw it.
A huge majestic lion with golden and black fur walked out from the cave entrance. Its size was enormous, far beyond any ordinary lion. Its steps were steady and heavy. Each movement felt like it was claiming the world as its own. Its piercing eyes locked onto Kael with an unblinking gaze.
"Successor..."
The lion's voice echoed like thunder.
"Prove your worth.."
"Prove that you are worthy of being my partner.."
"...."
