The throne room was silent, save for the heavy sigh of Lion-O. He gazed over his kingdom, a landscape of peace and recognition he had long desired. Yet, beneath the crown, a profound emptiness festered. Mumm-Ra was gone, but Lion-O remained adrift. Pumyra was a ghost of the past; his friends bore scars from his decade-long absence. Tigra had relinquished leadership, perhaps weary of the controversy surrounding Lion-O’s rise. The people wanted a symbol, not a ruler, and that truth fractured his spirit. He stared at the Sword of Omens, doubting the prophecy. Was he fit to rule? Or was he nothing without the throne? Suddenly, the echo of familiar footsteps shattered his contemplation.
