That title doesn't belong to you anymore, Alphox. Your strength is gone, your power diminished. You're nothing but an empty shell, a shadow of your former self.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zyrran cackled, sparks of lightning crackling along his jagged horns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't you hear? The Primordial Council has already replaced you. A dragon stronger, mightier, and far more deserving of the title now sits where you once did.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vorrak smirked, his molten breath creating waves of heat that distorted the air. \"Face it, Alphox. You're nothing now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the FUCK are you talking about,\" Alphox, having been dead all these years, was confused: wasn't his place as a Primordial Dragon set in stone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did they replace him?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mocking words struck Alphox like a hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His claws dug into the rocky ground as his wings flared wide, casting a massive shadow over the plateau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura of a predator, of a king who refused to kneel, burst forth like a tidal wave, shaking the very air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You dare... mock me?\" Alphox roared, his black flames leaking from his maw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fury in his voice carried a primal weight that made Alex's knees almost buckle despite being behind cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think a council of cowards can decide my fate? I am Alphox, the Shadow Dragon! I bow to no one!
