Outside Space and Time

[jla-extras2.livejournal.com]

The power of the Spectre was still a new thing to the man once known as Ra's al Ghul. His efforts to comprehend the being now bonded to his very soul had met with small progress thus far.

One thing that had become apparent is that the spirit of the Spectre possessed a strong sense of duty - and while that was an aspect he found familiar, it now called him away from his efforts to find a balance with the spirit.

He finds himself walking in a cavern-like passageway - along the wall, seven gruesome statues of seven deadly sins. The spirit's voice within him speaks the name of this timeless place - the 'Rock of Eternity'. It speaks, too, of the current guardian - a boy, 'Billy', inheritor of the powers of the ancient Wizard Shazam.

Some disturbance has called him here - called the Spectre here - and he was compelled to come.

A cry of pain ahead quickens his pace.
