She lost yet.... She won!

A golden card shone with four radiant stars at the corners.... As it expanded, growing into an immense structure nearly 20 to 25 feet in size.

The card's light grew brighter, almost blinding before, zooming toward Liora's charred and broken body. The card passed through her....

"Grrrrrrrr....."

A deep, guttural growl emerged from the card, reverberating through the air.

A figure began to step out.... It was a wolf... no, it was a beast—towering at nearly 20 feet tall, its massive form both majestic and terrifying.

The creature's fur was a mesmerizing blend of blood-red and pitch-black, each strand gleaming ominously under the light of the card. Its eyes, a hypnotic swirl of colours, locked onto... Aether!

The beast bared its teeth, each one sharp enough to cleave through the stone... Its claws, impossibly long and wickedly curved, dug into the rocky ground as if it were nothing but soft clay.

"HHHHOOOOOWWWWWWWLLLLLLL"
