Kol stands in the aftermath of his battle with his brothers, his body battered but his power surging stronger than ever. The battlefield is in ruins, Black Thunder crackling around him as the storm within him grows uncontrollable. Dain, Orin, and Valen have withdrawn for now, realizing that Kol is no longer the same man they once knew.
Lisa and Jacob appear through teleportation, both wounded and exhausted. Lisa stumbles, barely able to hold herself up, while Jacob remains unconscious from his brutal encounter with Elizabeth.
Kol's gaze snaps to Lisa, his expression unreadable. "You shouldn't have come back."
Lisa, still breathless, shakes her head. "We had no choice."
Before they can say more, a dark force stirs. The Demon King's presence looms closer. The storm intensifies, reacting to Kol's unstable power. The shadow behind him begins to manifest more clearly—a monstrous figure.
Kol clutches his head as his body convulses. His Black Thunder surges out of control, creating cracks in the very air around them. He can feel it—the power of the Demon King pulling him in, whispering to him. Submit. Become the true King.
Lisa realizes the danger and tries to reach him, but the moment her fingers brush his arm, a surge of energy sends her flying back. Kol's eyes glow with an ominous light.
A choice looms over him: embrace his awakening or fight against it.
And for the first time… he isn't sure if he can resist.
