The space beneath my foot cracked.
Then I released my aura.
There was no restraint this time.
My Soul Force erupted from my body like a collapsing star, and the authority of my existence surged outward in every direction. The pressure surrounding us collided with the darkness pouring from Viserys, creating an invisible shockwave that tore across the battlefield.
The two forces pushed against one another.
For the first time, Viserys's expression changed.
Her black eyes narrowed slightly as she looked directly at me.
I met her gaze.
"We are here to capture you and take you back with us."
For several seconds, she simply stared. Then the corners of her lips slowly curved upward.
It wasn't a smile of amusement.
It was the condescending expression of someone who had just heard a particularly amusing joke from someone far beneath her.
"Capture me?"
Her voice carried a strange calmness.
"I should like to see you try."
She raised one hand and simply waved.
