This is a depiction of the moment where the hero traps the essence of the Terror within a magic crystal that is to keep his powers and spirit bound and dormant. The magic surrounding the crystal vanishes along with the image of the demon, shortly before the hero vanishes too.
It will be followed by this picture, which is the aftermath. Here the hero is seen with his apprentices, and I was planning on also having a crowd of people gathered to celebrate. The rays of sunlight bursting through the grey skies also help with the whole symbolism of 'a new day', now that the Terror has been dealt with. The crystal in which he is imprisoned is shown hovering above the cave's entrance where the hero and the Terror fought earlier, now churning with lava.
I also planned for this lava to shift out and for the construction of a tower around the crystal to be seen that would tie into the next image, but I lost the layers for it. However, I still think the result was alright, as the purpose of that was to demonstrate that the sight of this illustration and the sight of the next illustration were the same place.
