As Xylon lay there in a state of immobility, he watched helplessly as Akuna writhed in agony. Her screams pierced the silence, resonating with a deep sense of pain .
Xylon knew that something was terribly wrong with her, but the fact that she wasn't responding to his questions only added to his confusion and worry.
In that moment, time seemed to stand still, as if the world had stopped spinning on its axis. Xylon was frozen in place, unable to move or speak, as he watched his companion suffer.
"I am burning," she rasped, her voice raw with agony. "It feels like your dark energy has seeped into every pore of my being, and it's spreading like wildfire. I can't bear it."
Akuna's body convulsed as she struggled to hold back a scream, her eyes shut tight against the pain.
The dark energy crackled and sparked around Xylon for so long after pushing her as he laid frozen in place, his mind a chaotic whirlwind of conflicting emotions.
