Purple lightning coiled around him, darting like dragons and serpents.
The two were opposing halves of one whole: one bore Myriad Selves Across All Worlds, the other Reflections Across All Worlds.
Illusion and reality gave rise to each other, while yin and yang held each other in balance. Together, they formed the divine path of balanced yin and yang!
