That fucker! Shin struggled and pushed against these mystical bonds holding him back, pressing to move so he could make mince meat of the jackass. What he started to realize when he fought back, however, was that not only was he unable to move, but also breath. Wide eyed, the ranger clawed desperately and futiley at nothing, fear for his life to be at an end all too soon.
Shin remembered his love for activity, raucous and constant. This... this complete absence of sound went entirely opposite of his idiosyncrasy, magnifying the overwhelming terror of the situation, along with the stillness of everyone else around. He was truly, utterly scared; a feeling he hadn't had since his mangy childhood. And with the settling of dots popping up in his vision, Shin knew his time was coming to a close.
A weak, anticlimactic finish for him, to be sure. He expected a great feat in battle, a just climax; not slow, helpless suffocation. He didn't deserve this. Not him. Not Mateus, nor anyone else from his squad. They were to be legends, not cannon fodder! Shin started to cry, thinking of this, his comrades, his crossbow... except he couldn't even attempt it, couldn't even be allowed to have this small relief, because of the blasted spell. It felt foul, to not even be able to mourn his own life. So, Shin, the outcast of Lossarnach, the simpleton, the outcast, the sadist and masochist, the insignificant crossbowman of squadron ten accepted his fate, like a true Stoic.
