The Cage of Emotions was no ordinary trap; it was a prison unlike anything the Realm Lord or his family had ever encountered. As soon as the Empress's magic engulfed them, the air around them seemed to thicken, warping into waves of shifting colors. These colors weren't just illusions; they were emotions made manifest, crawling over their skin, invading their minds, and pulling them into a storm of inner chaos.
Each of them—Realm Lord, Drakken, Gorath, Selene, and Tierra—was pulled into a separate illusion, each designed to exploit their deepest vulnerabilities, to tear apart their very souls.
The Realm Lord's Illusion:
The Realm Lord found himself standing in the heart of his own palace, but something was deeply wrong. The throne room, once a symbol of order and strength, had decayed. The walls cracked and crumbled, and the once-grand pillars that supported the galaxy-spanning kingdom had fallen to dust. There was no sign of his family—only a vast emptiness.
