"There's no need to feel embarrassed. It's perfectly normal to have performance issues the first time," said Lex as he grabbed the blade of the sword and moved it away from his chest, winking at the marble statue.
Before the statue, or even the Karmari behind the veil could respond, there was a clap of thunder above Lex's body, and he began to fade away. Before he completely faded though, Lex left behind some words.
"Arch-Heaven may feel like it can govern the universe, and that's fine, but it will sorely regret it if it thinks it can control me."
Lex disappeared completely, leaving behind a silent gallery, for neither the statue nor the Karmari knew how to respond to what had just happened.
