Awakening of the Abyss

The Infernal Castle, a once imposing and formidable structure, now had a massive hole on one side. Slowly out of it emerged Leo, his body moving at an extremely slow pace due to the warped time. I watched as he slammed into the far wall of the layer, and then hit the ground, time readjusting itself.

From the sky, Akasha manipulated my body, rotating me to face the castle. She halted our ascension for the briefest instant, hovering amid the dust and debris thrown up by the cataclysmic exit. With his monstrous form looming out of the gaping hole in the castle, Leo was a force to be reckoned with. He roared a guttural, animalistic sound that echoed off the ruined castle walls, sending shivers down my spine.
