On Vox: The Third Eye . . .
. . . opened. It was red and wrathful. It seemed to pulse and smoulder and emanate intense heat. And Cupid, from whose bow the dart of desire had been shot, was scorched. A tiny smouldering pile of ashes was all that remained. The attempt to seduce the austere Auspicious One failed miserably.
