Panel 1: In the ruins of an ancient battlefield beneath a dark, cloudy sky, the mysterious hooded warrior with glowing purple eyes stands silently. His black cloak sways in the wind, hiding his face. In the distance, Lerathis slowly approaches with unwavering confidence, her long silver hair flowing and her ruby-red eyes fixed on him.
Panel 2: Close-up of Lerathis. She stops a few meters away, crossing her arms with a cold smile. Crimson energy begins to gather around her as she says: "So... you're the one they've been calling the monster."
Panel 3: Close-up of the hooded warrior. Only his glowing purple eyes are visible beneath the hood. After a brief silence, he replies calmly: "Names don't matter... only the outcome."
Panel 4: A wide shot shows both standing face to face. Purple aura erupts around the hooded warrior while crimson energy explodes around Lerathis. The air trembles, the ground cracks, and debris begins floating from the pressure of their overwhelming power. Neither of them attacks.
Panel 5: Extreme close-up of both faces, their eyes locked on each other. The tension becomes unbearable. A single lightning bolt splits the sky behind them as both slightly lean forward, ready to launch at the exact same instant. End on a cliffhanger before the first strike.
