The familiar golden glory that could be said to be one of his defining traits appeared every now and then even if for just a fleeting instant only before it died down and returned his outlook to that pale, semi-transparent dim gray outlook.

Sadly, this made him to be almost completely drained by the time he arrived at this spot, leaving him with no choice but to give up for the time being.
