Steve's party was postponed till my summons finished their evolution.
The cocoon kept pulsing, the surface tightening and relaxing like it was taking slow breaths. Silver light leaked through the cracks, brighter each time. I stood a few steps away, arms crossed, watching the whole thing shake harder with every passing second. Even the trio tagged along with me, watching with fascination.
"Who do you think is the most powerful between all four of them?" Steve nudged me.
"Lyrate."
Suddenly, a loud crack rang out.
The cocoon split down the middle, and a wave of silver energy rushed outward, pushing dust across the ground. The air hummed, and I could feel a strange pull and push happening at the same time : polarity. Ragnar's domain was trying to form before he even stepped out.
Then the cocoon burst.
Light poured out, blinding for a moment, and a tall figure stepped forward through the glow.
Not the massive ape I had known until now.
A man.
