He didn't know how long he had stood there, nor how long he would have to. All he could feel was the wyrm, the force in front of him, pushing against him, but not hard enough to move him. Dimly, he knew that his legs ached and, even more dimly, he felt the presences of creatures close to him, benevolent ones, two beasts, but he wasn't sure where they were.
He wasn't sure he could even see any more, all he was aware of before him was the dragon, and he couldn't say whether he could see the thing, or whether the creature's power had just imprinted itself in his mind, like the after image left after a flash of bright light. Sweat dripped down his face, but he did not blink.
He was getting tired.
Submit, he thought, determination surging. Submit to me.
