Somnus's eyes went wide the moment my voice cut through.
"Impossible!!!" His words broke as his calm mask cracked for the first time.
His hand shot up again, trying to press me deeper into his dream, veins of divine energy crawling across his arm.
But nothing happened.
I sat there calmly, watching.
The others reacted instantly.
SHHHRRKKK!
A thousand black tendrils erupted from Shadow, coiling toward me like serpents hungry for blood.
Flames roared beside them, the God of Flames conjuring infernos hot enough to melt the canyon walls.
Bolts of lightning screamed down from the sky, splitting the air itself, while chains of divine steel manifested and lashed around my limbs.
In seconds, I was wrapped from every angle, shadow, fire, lightning, metal.
"BIND HIM!" Shadow roared, his voice trembling with urgency.
"Don't let him slip out!" The Flame God bellowed, pouring more flames into the binding.
"Somnus, hold the dream tighter!" another god shouted.
