Apollo took a deep breath, watching as the wave of lightning rushed out. The last of the meteors had collided with the ground, leaving only lingering rumbling sounds.
As the wave of lightning passed by the people, it made them seize up.
The battle that Leon was engaged with seemed to stop as the people involved all turned to Apollo.
Leon stared passively.
Under his gaze, Apollo slowly floated up before flying towards him. Lightning began to flow around his body, almost like a snake.
Leon continued to watch, but decided to wait instead of doing anything else.
After what seemed like a decade, Apollo had made it to the pillar that Leon was standing on, and landed on the other side. They were quite high up. From here, everything else looked quite small.
Upon landing, Leon was the first to speak.
"It seems you have surpassed your crown, like me."
Apollo looked at him directly.
