Ethan grabbed Selene's hand and pulled hard, trying to drag her away.
But Selene's feet wouldn't move. Her body was rooted to where she stood and moving felt a little more painful than she wanted to admit.
It felt like invisible threads were wrapping around her ankles, holding her in place. The harder Ethan pulled, the tighter the threads became.
They even began to be seen physically.
"Selene, we need to go!"
Ethan's voice was tense.
His grip tightened, but Selene felt herself being pulled back by a force stronger than she anticipated.
Selene's heart pounded.
For the first time, she realized she was in far more danger than she thought. The dungeon's energy was strange, and these threads weren't normal.
"Wait!"
She muttered, trying to steady her breathing.
She reached deep into her consciousness, calling on her borrowed powers. A spark of light flickered in her hand before ice formed around her.
She focused and tried to sever the threads binding her.
