In Their Own Story
The battlefield was silent save for the crackle of white mana. Ajani stood tall amidst the ruin, his golden fur matted with ash but his eyes burning with an unyielding light. He looked not at the enemy before him, but at the young Planeswalkers behind him. There was no fear in his posture, only a heavy resolve. 'Go,' he whispered, his voice steady despite the chaos. 'Finish what we started.' As the shadows lunged forward to consume them all, Ajani stepped into the light one last time, becoming a barrier that would not break.
