Fear.
A void tentacle would find it's way shot through his chest causing Dan to come to a complete stop, in his mind he was staring down into a pit of blood and viscera, chained to the walls of the pit were those who were dear to him. Cass was chained upside down by her ankles, blood draining from a tear in her throat so deep you could see her spine, her face unseeable underneath the constantly flowing blood.
Beside her was Caeliam, pinned to the wall with spikes that seemed to pierce through her skull, midsection and legs, they had fullers all along them to allow her blood to run through them and down into the pit.
Beside the two of them were the long dead and no longer bleeding forms of Elstine and Jagen.Elstine was propped up on the wall with a spear and Jagen... Jagen's remains seemed to have no visible injuries but her pale flesh and glazed eyes made her state of living very clear. Dan stood there taking all of this in, the tears running down his face having no end as he fell to his knees both in the real world and in his vision.
Everyone he loved was dead.
There was no point in fighting anymore.
