[ The kingdom beyond the borders of the Old World- Selene's people ]
" Ravenna, wait… my mother… I need to see her! I really need to just see her once… I swear I will… "
But she did not get to finish the sentence.The moment Selene took her first step across the threshold of the first fortress…her boots had barely skimmed the obsidian floor…when…
CLANG!!!
The sound rattled from both sides.
A dozen metallic chains, thick and coiled like sleeping reptilian sentinels, shot out from the shadows.
They slithered mid air, hissing,like ancient serpent kings, their metal bristling with dark runes that shimmered red as they struck.
Before Selene could scream, they hit her.
One lashed around her ankle, another snapped around her wrist. She staggered back but more came…faster…thicker…winding around her arms, waist, legs, neck.
"Wh…What…?!" she gasped, struggling as the iron burned her skin on contact.
At first, the chains only burned.
