Bab 78: Space Warp

[First-person POV: Nadya]

"Nadya!"

Elysia's urgent voice pierced the chaos around me, and before I could fully comprehend what was happening, a sudden impact knocked the air out of my lungs.

Pain radiated through my body as I tumbled away, disoriented and struggling to regain my senses.

As the world stopped spinning, I found myself firmly restrained, unable to move. Panic surged within me as I realized I was now placed on the shoulder of a member of the dark church.

My attempts to break free were futile; the grip on me was unbreakable.

"Release me! Let me go!" I shouted, desperation filled my voice. I thrashed and flailed, but my efforts were feeble against the overwhelming strength of my captor.

"SHUT UP!" The dark church member's icy command cut through the air, extinguishing any hope that my pleas might sway him.
