Ren instinctively reached for his coins as the energy slammed into him, feeling like hooks trying to dig beneath him.
Just before the energy sank into his skin and got to his soul, his coins flashed bright in his mind and he immediately pulled himself towards them.
Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, for him, he hadn't dropped them behind and the coins were currently tucked away in his pocket. There was no place for him to go but where he already was.
Fuck!
But all hope wasn't lost. He had no place t o go but that didn't mean the coin wouldn't be useful.
There was only one thing left for him to do. To blink.
He activated his teleportation and his body flickered in and out of existence. In that split second, the energy slid off him like water off oil, but the force of the energy still sent him staggering backward.
