The long shadow tendril pulled D up by his leg and held him in suspended animation above the sandy fighting pit. Val looked up at him with a smug smile of superiority.
"This, Is no fucking fair, you cheated!" D said as he hung upside down, throwing his arms around to try and free himself.
"I don't usually show people this aspect of my power, I like my shadow control to be a trump card if need be. We're true friends now D." She let out a heavy sigh and dropped her fighting stance and walked over to the edge of the arena and prepared to jump out in victory when...
A large tendril exploded from the sand and grabbed her by the neck. D's hand was outstretched as he controlled it from his upside down position.
"I-didn't say we were done yet..." D struggled to say, all of his might going to controlling the unwieldy shadow tendril.
