Damon thought this was the end for his shadow, but he was not about to give up. Twisting his body, he pulled an arrow using his dealer's hand and willed it to float. He stepped on it as he tried to fly on the metal of his sword.
But a large maw came rushing toward him, choking the air as it smashed him down into the darkness. Pain tore through his body, and the shock almost separated his astral form from his body.
He tried to regain control, but his body plummeted into the depths surrounded by large black worms. Damon's astral projection saw larger chains flickering as they held the worms bound to the darkness.
He closed his eyes as the shadows consumed him.
Then—
"Thud."
His broken body hit the ground. Pain racked through him as his astral form shot out into the open, a chill touching his soul.
Before he could regain his bearings, he heard a chuckle.
"That ended better than I expected."
