Power and Control

Everyone was momentarily shocked by my words, but it was clear they weren't swayed so I had to take my intimidation to another level. 

"If you don't show yourselves," I warned, raising my staff high. 

A black beam surged forth, shattering the sky like glass, unleashing a deafening boom that echoed across the city. 

It was as if a piece of space itself had been raptured, the visual effects so intense that reality seemed to crumble . 

In fact, if I had actually ruptured space, the entire city would have been pulled towards the sky. 

But despite its fakeness, the aura it emitted was enough to make my point and frightened everyone.

"RUN!" The crowd below erupted into panic, their hearts gripped by fear as they fled for their lives.

Some screamed, their voices echoing through the chaos.

Others stumbled and fell, scrambling to get back up. Faces were twisted with terror, eyes wide and frantic.
