Glimmer exploded.
Adonis staggered backwards, his face slick with sweat as the twelve-foot-tall Obsidian laughed.
"How does it feel?" Torment chuckled.
Adonis squeezed his eyes shut, then opened them again, desperately trying to shut something off. He couldn't. That night refused to leave his mind; His family. Their deaths. Again and again.
Soon, he could barely see the battlefield anymore. Everywhere he looked, their stone corpses surrounded him.
Torment raised his sword. Rage, another Obsidian dressed in rags and carrying a bone cleaver, leapt towards Snow and brought the weapon down. Obsession fired two arrows.
All three Monarchs came for his life.
Snow released a ring of silver glimmer. It detonated. Flames swept outwards with a deafening roar, hurling Rage backwards. Torment charged straight through the fire and swung.
This time, he caught Adonis as the blade kissed his neck. Torment cackled. "Is that all?"
"It wasn't a fair fight," Adonis replied.
