This was bad. Bad. Bad. Bad.
Grym found herself in tight situations before. She preferred to avoid these things before they got too hot, but even the best Atharim were cornered sometimes. Grym had her fair share of close-calls. While her luck held all these years, she didn't care to take chances when not absolutely necessary. There were five (six?) gods in their presence. Including the god of all gods. The creatures bearing down were likely to take them out and if they didn't, Grym and Z could wait for the stragglers.
But none were so close as being dragged away by a god for execution. She struggled against the invisible bonds, panic starting to creep in with the impossibility of escape. She barely had time to process her own impending death when the god that deferred to Ascendancy told them to run. Grym was white as a sheet when she was dropped to her freedom. Was she to be hunted for sport? This one made a mistake, she thought and drew her battle axe for attack.
Then the shocks started. Every time she tried to surge forward, the shocks knocked her back. She growled at the god distributing the attention until she started to possibly consider he really did want them to run away.
