The Voidshadow restraints took three weeks to forge.
Ren made each one personally. Eighteen sets — bands of compressed void, dark as the space between stars, humming with the particular frequency of an essence that existed to devour. Each restraint carried enough Voidshadow to suppress a partial transformation. Not enough to stop a full one — nothing short of a Peak EternalPyre could manage that. But enough to buy the decapitation team three seconds if the target started shedding its skin.
Three seconds. The difference between a clean kill and a massacre.
