Erebus was shocked. The cold expression of grim determination that had dominated his face moments earlier suddenly disappeared when Erend revealed his true power. The moment he felt the immense aura, Erebus recognized what stood before him. This man was another Dragonborn.

Based on the stories and knowledge passed down in his world, other Dragonborn existed only as distant legends. Finding one of them was considered very unlikely, so he had never expected to encounter another in a world he intended to invade.
Yet here he stood, facing one.
But then Erebus's expression hardened again as grim determination returned to his eyes.
