Zeus stood at the edge of a jagged cliff, overlooking the abyss below where the Black Flame flickered in the distance. He clenched his fists, his eyes narrowing in determination. Ramos, the Fire Lord, stood beside him, his spear pulsing faintly with the restrained energy of the Black Flame, while Ademon and Artekos gathered nearby, catching their breath from the fight.
