The moment the woman appeared, it was like all the others were frozen in time. This wasn't a reaction that came from seeing someone they respected, but instead quite literally.
The world became painted in black and white, and Grey couldn't help but wonder where the hell this person had been all this time. If they had someone that could literally stop and freeze time, why wasn't she helping?
Where was she while he was running around the abyss fighting demons? Hell, where was she when Calixan suddenly lost his mind and became a mutated skin walker.
Now that Grey thought about it, Calixan's abilities were actually quite cool. Sure, he looked like a fucking idiot when he fought like that, but he was quite literally surpassing the limits of his own body with his energy, using his thoughts to direct his movement rather than any sort of training or the like.
