He placed it in front of himself. The orb floated at chest height, slowly rotating as strange symbols appeared across its surface.
Dream closed his eyes.
Then he began chanting.
I immediately felt something change within the Eternal Seal.
The crimson chains binding me and Viserys began glowing brighter.
Dream's chanting continued, each word carrying a strange resonance that seemed to travel directly through the artifact rather than through the air.
Then something emerged from his chest.
A black chain.
Unlike the crimson chains surrounding us, this one was completely dark, and its links seemed to be formed from condensed shadows.
It emerged directly from Dream's chest and extended toward me.
The final link pierced the crimson dome and connected itself to my chest.
A second chain emerged from Dream and extended toward Viserys, attaching itself to her as well.
The moment both connections were established, the entire Eternal Seal pulsed.
My body immediately felt heavier.
