The Sea of Bats

In the cave, the black bats filled the air, screeching and causing dust to fly as they launched continuous psychic attacks. The cave walls shook from the force of their assault, powerful enough to kill even disciples of the fourth Sky of the Ascended Realm. In the midst of this swarm stood a figure, still as stone, his aura rising as a piercing light emanated from his left eye, freezing the nearest bats in place. They plummeted to the ground, blood leaking from their eyes and noses. The more distant bats remained where they were, too frightened to approach, except for the four bat leaders of the third Sky, who managed to resist the power of the figure's soaring left eye, though they too were weakened.
