The Shattering

"Is this real?" Arlok continuously looked upwards, while others tried to lift their heads, the force of Carnage's Eden prevented them from doing so. Everyone had to bow down or simply watch Arlok, who seemed to aimlessly stare upwards.

"What exactly?" - the only one who managed to lift her head was Lucy; her Eden could protect her, and her body could withstand the strain from the golden threads, which intensified with each passing moment as she used Eden.

"No, I didn't say to look," - he raised his hand towards Lucy, and she immediately lowered her head. An unseen force was putting her down; if not for the threads that bound her body, she could have resisted easily.

Following his hand, the eyes also turned towards Lucy and the others. Few understood anything, even Zigfaer, who was the only one not bound, couldn't make sense of the actions.
