The water around Agra's head began to darken, turning from crystal clear to a murky, inky black, as the blood oozing from his wounds, thick and viscous, mixed with the water. The koi fish, still huddled in the corner of the pond, their scales shimmering nervously in the dim light, seemed to absorb the darkness, their bodies pulsing with an unnatural energy. Slowly, gradually, the blackness receded, the water returning to its pristine clarity, as if cleansed.
Michael felt Agra's struggles cease, his body going limp, the chaotic energy that had radiated from him dissipating like smoke.
And then… a black hole opened up in the center of the pond, its edges crackling with temporal energy. Agra's body, his face now a mask of serene… emptiness, was pulled towards it, his limbs disappearing into the vortex, one by one.
And as the black hole disappeared along with Agra, Michael's mind got riddled with system notifications.
