The air within the hollow tusk-like megastructure was silent, save for the echoes of Lord Vakratunda and him munching on yummy sweets. Rui raised an eyebrow as he studied the leader of the Gajanan Clan with a hint of vague intrigue. "When Mother Vyia told me about you, I must admit that I was expecting something different."
Those words brought about a serene smile of amusement on Lord Vakratunda's face. "Am I a disappointment?"
"Hard to say," Rui huffed. "I haven't fought you yet. I'm told that you're one of the most powerful beings in Kiriket, second only to Shenlong."
"Mmm…" Lord Vakratunda popped another sweet in his mouth. "Well, I expected you to be different as well. It is very rare to meet someone with your power who also possesses little to no ego. With power comes pride and arrogance, yet you are not the most humble and cautious man. Any arrogance you might have comes from your desire to push yourself to the very limit. Very fascinating indeed."
