The raucous, laughing clamor of the tavern died in an instant, choked off as I rose to my full height. My shadow stretched long and dark across the floorboards, swallowing the cringing pirate captain whole. The very atmosphere grew dense and suffocating, saturated with the silent, crushing pressure of my unleashed Conqueror's Will. Glasses cracked and splintered; bodies folded silently into unconsciousness around the room. Yet I stood perfectly still, my expression not one of hot anger, but of a deep, glacial calm. I leaned in slightly, my gaze pinning the shuddering man in place. All the warmth and light had been leached from the room, leaving only the cold certainty of consequence.
