Leia froze mid-stride, her speed dropping sharply like she'd just stepped into quicksand. It felt like a mountain had slammed straight into her.

She looked like a moth caught in a hurricane—fragile, flickering, barely holding on.

Ethan watched her quietly. With a flicker of thought, the power of the Domain of the Dead surged and focused into a single point—like a steel whip lashing out.

Crack!
