Sunbeam Lair an alien world

"Great things come to the great ones, Lord Tanaka, but cloaking oneself in shadows puts fate in the wrong claws," Said the prophet. Gundham scoffed.

I was born shrouded in darkness! My fate was meant to be within its clawed grasp. Many rightly fear it, but I find comfort in it, He replied confidently and convincingly, despite the fact that he was lying through his teeth. Gundham then moved to step away from the man and descend the mountain, no longer in need of him. The prophet had served his purpose and was making him uneasy with how he saw right through his facade.

Thank you, great prophet, but I should be on my way, He said dismissively, praying that the man wouldn't press him further.
