The searing pain in Sylas' shoulder couldn't seem to reach his mind at all. His vision looked glazed over as he saw more red than anything else, but his mind was more focused on the fear erupting from deep within him.
He hated the feeling. He hated the feeling of helplessness, but there was no escaping it. It was everywhere he looked, suffocating and ubiquitous.
The worst part was that he knew why he couldn't shake it off.
Maybe there was something external triggering these emotions, but he knew deep inside… that they were real.
There was a gap between what was truly resolved and what was suppressed. Sylas' solution to his plight was to become strong, but was he strong yet?
Even if he one day became invincible on Earth, what about in their solar system? What about their quadrant? Their galaxy? Their galaxy cluster? Beyond?
