You step forward towards him, an action that the Adventurer doesn’t approve of at all.

“What’re you doing?!”
“I think you’re right, I think he’s from my world. Maybe he escaped from the Nightmare Tyrant too.”
“I don’t trust him, he’s weird and in my line of work, if it’s weird more often than not, it isn’t good!”

You ignore the Adventurer and go back to talking to Johnny, who seems to have begun to direct his attention towards you.

“Are you from Earth?”
“Yes.”
“Did the Nightmare Tyrant bring you here?”
“Yes.”
“Did you escape like me?”
“No.”

This answer catches you off guard, so much in fact that you don’t react in time to jump out of the way of Johnny’s grip. When he grabs your arm, you feel an instant paralyzing numbness causing you to drop immediately. When this occurs the Adventurer leaps into action and strikes Johnny, but when his sword hits Johnny’s body, it’s almost as if the paralysis crept up the sword and was inflicted upon the Adventurer as well. He falls to the ground clutching his arm and dropping his sword. Johnny follows up by merely touching the Adventurer on the head, completely immobilizing him.

Having incapacitated the Adventurer, Johnny turns his attention back to you.

“No magic can work here, but I can. The Nightmare Tyrant wants to see you. You must comply. Perhaps you will become one of the Shadows. Maybe you will become like me. The Nightmare Tyrant will decide. He knows best.”

You attempt to speak, but you’re unable to. You can’t even think.

“No more talk. No more resistance. Just dead numbness.” He says and then picks you up and begins to carry you out of the desert. Eventually when you’re out of the anti-magic field, a dark portal opens up, and Johnny delivers you to the Nightmare Tyrant.
