Rain drummed a steady rhythm on the slick cobblestones of Fontaine, thick with a charged, oppressive stillness. Neuvillette, the Chief Justice, faced the monstrous entity before him, his posture rigid with resolve. He moved to strike, but a wave of raw elemental force threw him back, igniting a violent, sparking clash. The battle drained him, his ancient power faltering. Then, from the pooling shadows, thick, ropy tentacles erupted, slamming him down onto the wet ground and winding tight around his limbs. His violet eyes flared with a trapped, furious light, his breath catching as he strained against the unyielding grasp. "Damn..." he hissed, the word a raw scrape of sound, his body going still in defeat.
