"Stop Struggling, this will go much smoother for the both of us if you just accept it."
I ignored the voice and continued to struggle as I was pulled closer and closer to the center of the circle, not that I could do much. With my aether and body locked down by invisible restraints, all I could do was try and tug at them, but it was like I was a child trying to break out of steel chains, no matter how hard I tried, how much effort I put into it, nothing budge.. My heart was beating a mile a minute, and for the first time in a while, I was feeling true fear, the type that sent chills down one's spine. It didn't help at all, that I was unable to feel Zirani. A wall stood in between our bond and I could feel her trying to smash it down, with no luck.
