Unbeknownst to Gabriel, he found himself kneeling as if in reverence.
...
"W-what?! S-ince when?!"
...
Gabriel, with his imposing and robust stature, now knelt before a 15-year-old girl.
...
His attempts to resist were futile, his mouth seemingly stitched shut, rendering him speechless.
...
As Gabriel knelt before her, the air held a charged stillness, each moment stretching as if time itself bowed to the enigmatic power Freya possessed.
...
"No! NOOOO!!!!"
...
Gabriel screamed at the top of his lungs, yet not a single sound escaped.
....
He couldn't even move a single finger.
...
There was an eerie silence, devoid of the usual sounds of crickets or the wild serenade of howling wolves.
A profound hush enveloped the surroundings, making it seem as if he were the sole living being in that ethereal space.
