The world seemed to freeze for a moment. Even in her daze, Cheri couldn't help but look up.
She expected some sort of commotion, some sort of roar of agitation, at least some burst of Aether…
Anything.
Instead what she received was absolute silence. It wasn't just she who received it, but all those around her as well.
And when she finally did look up to see what was happening, Kessarin was just standing there, his expression locked away in a furious roar, his arms looking like he was trying to gear up an attack he was just about to ravage the world with.
But in the end…
Nothing.
He looked like a statue, his body frozen in time. A mysterious Will swirled around him.
As for Sylas… he didn't even look up at the man.
Cheri's pupils constricted into pinholes, and as though her body was responding to the fact she had stopped paying attention, a jolt of electricity raced up her spine.
"Oh god…"
