Exegesis
The verse begins with the narrative connector kai {Καὶ | Kaì} followed by the aorist verb eidon {εἶδον | eî-don} “I saw,” which introduces a new visionary scene.
In context — Revelation 20:1
And I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.
