"Astral Abyss: Time Reversal."
As soon as the Sovereign spoke those words, the world froze.
The colors drained from everything, leaving only black and white, devoid of any other hue.
The wind stopped. The waves halted mid-crash. The distant cries of birds vanished into silence.
Everything paused.
If Elowyn had been in control of her body, her eyes might have widened in shock.
Unlike Time Deceleration, where time slowed down for the user, this was different. This was a complete cessation. Time had not slowed, but just... stopped.
The human rankers froze in their places, their feet still hovering above the ground mid-stride.
The distant wraith princess, who had been fleeing, was suspended in the air like a statue.
Nothing moved. Nothing breathed. Nothing lived, except for the consciousness of the Sovereign and the passenger trapped within her own body.
Soon, under Elowyn's watchful eyes, the landscape began to reform.
