Rein suddenly felt a crawling, ominous sensation climb up his spine. It was cold and sharp, like invisible fingers brushing against his nerves. His body reacted before his mind did, and he twisted his head to look behind him.
Adele stood there, rooted to the spot.
Her face was pale. Her eyes were wide, filled with shock and absolute horror. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to speak but could not form the words.
Rein's breath caught in his throat.
"How is this possible?" he muttered, his voice heavy with disbelief.
It did not make sense.

So how?
How was he doing this?
How was he overwhelming them?
