The Difference In Power
A few moments earlier, within the Palace of Horror's royal chamber, the mysterious Master of Horrors was still seated in his previous position. With his eyes closed, shrouding the upper portion of his face in the darkness, his arm moved left and right as his fingers played his dismal tune on the pipe organ in front of him as the bleak atmosphere only grew darker with each passing second.
The scarlet hue from the blood moon lit only a portion of the room, casting shadows of each of the erected pillars to the side.
Because of this, his features were now a bit more revealed, showing his dark red skin, angular shaped face with a pointed beard and mustache. He wore a high collar dark coat with many skulls that seemed more like that of humans neatly arranged on a neckless around his neck.
Carefully looking, one would realize that though he sat, he was more than seven feet tall, showing a clear height difference compared to any other man.
