The Amalgamation roared one final time as it raised its staff. Cynthia blasted herself up with the Illumina before striking down at the Amalgamation which seemed to be regenerating its power back with the Ghostwalker. Using its staff, it attempted to bat Cynthia away, but Thomas grabbed his pistol and shot into the staff, confusing the beast.
The Illumina struck into the right shoulder of the Amalgamation, severing the grip of the Ghostwalker, throwing it back in pain.
“GRAB IT!” Thomas shouted. “BEFORE IT PICKS IT BACK UP!”
The Amalgamation threw a chain straight towards Thomas, whipping him across the Arena. Noticing Cynthia running towards the Ghostwalker, it retracted the chain and slammed it against Cynthia’s back.
“Agh! Bastard!”
It approached Cynthia, as if it was going to show her… those things again.
Those visions.
She quickly scrambled away, towards the dropped Ghostwalker and pushed herself up. Grabbing the Illumina, she attempted to slash multiple times before lunging into the beast. It roared in pain as she pulled out the weapon, and began to pace towards the Ghostwalker one final time. The Amalgamation followed.
Cynthia backflipped and kicked the Amalgamation’s face, stunning it and allowing her to regain the Ghostwalker.
Rather than punching into Cynthia, its hand grew larger before slamming extremely hard into the ground below them. Everything went to silence. Everyone… everything… stood perfectly still. Not even the sound of Thomas’ annoying voice, the sounds of bridges creaking, the sounds of the crackling fire. Utter silence. Zhen looked shocked as she knew what was about to happen.
“Guardian?” Zhen questioned.
“What?!”87Please respect copyright.PENANAKd9vewVk53
Crack!87Please respect copyright.PENANAKrppDnVEL1
“Run!”
Suddenly, the whole platform began to crack as the bridges began to collapse.
“Why did it just-” Cynthia shouted, voice shaking before she tripped over a crack in the floor.
“Shit.” Thomas grabbed onto a pillar. “Brace yourself.”
“What?” Cynthia jumped up.
The platform began to cave in as the Amalgamation jumped into what seemed to be a bottomless pit.
“It jumped into the Lab.” Zhen charged herself towards the pit.
Kai’s eyes widened. “Wait, is that what Cap’n was-”
Suddenly, the ground below Kai completely collapsed as he was taken down.
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHH-”
Thump!
“Ugh… ow… I’ve had enough falls for one day.”87Please respect copyright.PENANAC5gxYFKI3P
Landing on a large, slightly soft mat, Kai glanced upwards. He felt like he fell over 50 metres beneath the floor of the Arena. A red light flickered on his face as he noticed The Clock just ahead of him.
Cynthia and Thomas fell at the same time, Cynthia floating herself down with the Illumina while Thomas quickly belly-flopped on the mat.
“Wait! Where’s the Amalgamation?” Zhen immediately stood back up.
To the left of them, a small hole was torn through the metal walls. It didn’t fit the Amalgamation’s immense size… not even a human size. Kai was the only one who didn’t look, still staring at the Clock. Zhen was struck with realisation.
“It’s already evolving..? How long has it been awakened?”
“How did it even-” Cynthia looked astounded.
“Oh, bless your heart, you know nothin’ about the Amalgamation do ya? How did you ever replace Zeph-”
“Why did you leave us?” Cynthia raised the Ghostwalker to Thomas’ chest.
Thomas jumped. “What?”
“The Team. Our team. You say that you ‘fled to the countryside’, but I KNOW there’s something more to it. So come on and tell me.”
Zhen stood between the two. “Why are you even worrying about that? I'm sure he has a good reason, and besides, it’s not like he still isn't affiliated with your team, eh?”
“But-”
“Just shut up! Oh my god. No wonder Thomas left your team.”
Cynthia looked directly at Zhen’s eye, locking eye contact.
“Are you stupid?” Her voice shook. She raised the Ghostwalker up to Zhen. “You don’t even know what him leaving cost us!”
“You don't scare me with that sword. Listen. That… thing. It can shapeshift once it lives enough time to learn how to do it. That’s why its hand grew so gigantic when it dragged our ship down. That’s why it burst a hole so small, so it escaped from us and now it might kill whatever is left in this lab. All the scientists. All the Experiments. Bella. Everyone.”
Cynthia shook. “Isabella-”
“Why us, anyway?” Thomas thought for a while.
Kai finally turned to them.
“You know why. They…” Kai gulped. “The Terrors were right. All along, it existed. And we fought back! All this time? This was the Clock he was talking about… and everything just makes sense now.”87Please respect copyright.PENANABL8Bh5JjHI
The pack filled with Ice Potions dropped from the Arena, caught in Kai’s blood-filled hands. He opened it slowly, arms shaking, and grabbed one of the potions.
“We never believed Noah or… him. It's just gone to shit! I knew I heard… Him. What was the point of it all? Our mission. It’s like Noah knew… he knew we would be dragged here to see. To see this.”
He looked back at the Clock, potion in hand.
An awkward silence filled the air. It looked like Zhen knew what was going on. Thomas and Cynthia just looked bewildered.
“What the fuck are you talking about?” Thomas grabbed his pistol and spun it around with his finger.
“Who’s that guy?” Cynthia pointed towards Kai.
A roar was heard from the hole. Footsteps heavy, almost shaking the ground. But they seemed to be getting further, searching for more people’s souls.
“We need to go find it!” Zhen ran up to a door. “Grab the ’brand. It’ll melt soon enough.”87Please respect copyright.PENANAflEiEbxerb
CREEAAKKKK!!!87Please respect copyright.PENANAmDCqwYlgSP
The noise of the collapsing Arena echoed across the entire labyrinth of the lab. Through all of the walls and glass…
…
All the way to Hope, Axel, Skye and Theo, at the far entrance of the Lab, relaxing on the staircase.
Hope had already shown them important files that they found. Who Shadow Rider really is, DEATH, Hin Taishi and his experiments.
Bella.
“Cynthia’s D.F.E must not be on or something, like I can’t even tell her that I’ve found you guys.” Skye frantically presses her D.F.E.
“Do you guys want to see what that noise was or are we just ignoring that completely?” Axel groaned in slight pain. He seemed to be getting better.
“Any reason why you don’t?”
“Does it look like he can?” Theo stood up, brought his hands up to the back of his head and turned around. “You wanna come, Hope?”
Hope raised an eyebrow. “Since when were you a leader?” She said, smirking jokingly. “Whatever.”
A loud crashing sound echoed from the halls.
Skye’s D.F.E completely lost connection.
“You need to go investigate that. Now!”
Hope and Theo, camera in hand, ran down the staircase.
Axel and Skye looked at each other.
She awkwardly looked to her left and right before asking “You wanna tell me what all this is about?”
“This place?”
“No, I mean… What's going on? Why was Cynthia so worried, wh-”
Skye glanced at Axel’s wounds.
“What happened to you?”
Axel rolled his eyes. “Don’t you want to go see what’s going on?”
“And leave you? Like this? Seriously?”
“Heh. Been through worse. Anyway, you know who I am, right? I’m friends with your brother. Or at least was…”
“Yeah, it’s Skye. I already know who you are though.”
“New member?”
“Yep. Replaced Krystal.”
“What made you want to do something so… risky?”
“Mainly Josh. I don’t really have to do stuff like fighting or whatever, but y’know…”
Skye looked away.
“I love him. And I want to be close to him no matter what, rather than just watching from the sidelines.”
“He’s still got that fighting spirit after 11 years, huh?”
“He’s only 32, he ain’t an old man, eh?”
They both laughed.
“But also because of Zeph, y’know?”
“He hates Cynthia, no? He’s still mad about… what she did. What she took. Why would you choose to work for someone you know your brother hates?”
“Well I’ve got a lot of skill when it comes to stuff like engineering, tech, blueprinting and all the rest of it. It would be a shame to not put all of that skill to something actually important.
“Like saving the world?”
“Yeah. Heh. It's crazy, really. All these years and yet this world keeps playing cat and mouse with magic swords.”87Please respect copyright.PENANAStsV83BtBM
“A bunch of crazy lunatics stealing them because they think some God will let them ascend once they commit borderline genocide.”87Please respect copyright.PENANAbuLTVQFZMv
Both of them chuckled. Axel looked down slightly.87Please respect copyright.PENANAQpTXcVZR5b
“You good?”87Please respect copyright.PENANAOrDdl0GsLT
“Is… Cyn gonna be okay? You mentioned she went back to the Arena.”87Please respect copyright.PENANA6K2AnNV7ki
“Well me, Josh and Hope are all meant to help her but Josh is still injured, and the two of us are stuck here.”87Please respect copyright.PENANAhDRVCt8sMP
“Hopefully she’ll be fine by herself.”87Please respect copyright.PENANAKUKsTqSqzC
“Yeah.”87Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5bADXegwB
Axel stood up.87Please respect copyright.PENANAZtaQHDHSL7
“Can we catch up to them?”87Please respect copyright.PENANAdwzz3gtRmf
“Wh- I mean, aren’t you really injured right now? You should rest.”87Please respect copyright.PENANAHmTGGbzvv6
“Like I said…”87Please respect copyright.PENANADzlsM9McQJ
Axel began to limp down the staircase.87Please respect copyright.PENANAkpcRKKfuUf
“I’ve been through worse.”87Please respect copyright.PENANA9D06lOPTTM
“If ya’ say so.”87Please respect copyright.PENANAmSilXYYg5b
87Please respect copyright.PENANArZ5KRH7XNm
87Please respect copyright.PENANA85Do8lqogh
A giant thud echoed across the Lab, before a roar emitted in the distance.87Please respect copyright.PENANA9g8XtFYBfk
“Y’all hear that?” Thomas looked at the group. They’ve traversed a few rooms across the Lab, but each room passed looked the exact same as the last. They found nothing but metal crates scattered across the hallways.87Please respect copyright.PENANAmV8AYKwiyx
“What actually is this place, anyway?” Cynthia continued to stay alert of the Amalgamation.87Please respect copyright.PENANAoy0zFa3jVh
Zhen grabbed her keycard and opened the next door in front of them. “It’s where the Terrors… operate. That's probably the best way to describe it.”87Please respect copyright.PENANArnMueZATEw
“They moved their lab… under the Arena?” Cynthia seemed confused.87Please respect copyright.PENANAUIGlCue53Y
“Yeah.” Zhen didn’t really want to make conversation, she just wanted to fix this mess.87Please respect copyright.PENANAxR987Y70uN
“So why do you have access to open the doors?”87Please respect copyright.PENANAPUExkKMRTa
Zhen froze in curiosity, sideyeing Cynthia. “Are you stupid? We’re obviously part of NET.”87Please respect copyright.PENANAMYUeFvtJMb
“Huh?”87Please respect copyright.PENANAkb9HMfcGbM
“What do you mean, huh? Are you sure you’re actually the Guardian? I’m talking about the Nightfall Exploration Team.”87Please respect copyright.PENANAIdQMr7kVyR
Cynthia stopped walking, looking at Zhen who stopped following behind. “Wh- You do realise that's illegal, right? That project was discarded almost 20 years ago and was deemed a criminal offense if anyone was caught being associated with the idea.”87Please respect copyright.PENANAsJrHquXtr1
“Well it wasn’t that hard to be unseen from the public eye when we operated in the middle of a desert. Not to mention anyone who even approached the base without the access and authority would just be shot down.”87Please respect copyright.PENANACkpLiZAf7w
“That doesn’t explain how you know this place like it's on the back of your hand.”87Please respect copyright.PENANAdz8Nr4aJkv
Thomas backed Zhen. “As part of our process to launch the ship, we needed protection in case anythin’ went wrong. We needed resources like the samples they took from this… Icedagger thing.”87Please respect copyright.PENANA6jVMADeLgZ
“Not to mention it probably has something to do with Hope’s main dagger.” Kai added. 87Please respect copyright.PENANAartAZTiUxd
“Ok wait. I’m really confused right now, just go over why you have access to the Lab.”87Please respect copyright.PENANAdCs57DxV0z
Thomas sighed.87Please respect copyright.PENANA8Vf8hFVHC1
“I went to one of the churches in sweet ol’ Texas. Not our Church, but one of the Sunrise Churches.”87Please respect copyright.PENANAYyX1zRf06q
“You went to a Terror Church? Why? How?”87Please respect copyright.PENANAs9IGaXYdmG
“I wanted answers. Whether all of this was real. Besides, It’s not that hard to hide Churches. Put them inside barbershops, parks, underground, you name it.”87Please respect copyright.PENANAtspZhYHxCD
“So-”87Please respect copyright.PENANA7YQ8kVl10R
“IF you let me finish… I attended a congregation. So many of those… people in one room. Eyes soulless, hoods up while the priest spoke. But after this meeting and everyone began to leave, I was held back by the Priest. For being so loyal and attending the Church daily, they offered me a place at Sunrise Corp, a complex system made up of multiple labs connecting across the entire city. While secretly also working at NET, I accepted. If we wanted our exploration to be successful and really find out why our world is the way it is, we needed help. I was given a keycard to be able to open and close the entrance at will, as when anyone enters that Lab, they can’t exit without authority.”87Please respect copyright.PENANAMiCO4Beb48
“How long ago was this?”87Please respect copyright.PENANAkeaZzeRbUd
“Just a year after I left Nightfall Base.”87Please respect copyright.PENANAoJeNhncErn
“But didn’t you flee to the countryside because everything got too… stressful or something?87Please respect copyright.PENANAz9nf0GpNV6
“I did! But is that really important right now when we have to deal with-”87Please respect copyright.PENANArl91dngPRm
Clink.87Please respect copyright.PENANAWQjJiP0U9x
SMASH!87Please respect copyright.PENANA5S2i98hXOr
The next door opened. Inside the room contained multiple containers, The Amalgamation was there… absorbing souls from what seemed to be previous experiments. It didn’t notice the group behind them.87Please respect copyright.PENANAgBXcNcB61o
Cynthia was about to speak, but Zhen forced her index finger to her mouth. Zhen walked stealthily towards it as she wielded an Ice Potion, ready to throw it at the beast. Looking at Cynthia, she used her left hand to point at the Ghostwalker she was wielding. She then beckoned her with her hand.87Please respect copyright.PENANAulDUpZHtuV
They both slowly approached it as it gained much more power. Hands began to sprout from its back as it grew larger in size. A hole appeared on its back where the next arm would grow.87Please respect copyright.PENANAlETHZdRqSF
Zhen screamed “NOW!”, before throwing an Ice Potion straight into the hole, freezing the inside of it.87Please respect copyright.PENANApwlN8yW8Sy
Cynthia began to charge at it with the Ghostwalker, but the Amalgamation’s eyes completely fixed onto her. Before she could get to the distance she needed to end the Amalgamation, they started to appear again.87Please respect copyright.PENANAYnH4MDdXrd
Buck appeared to her again. Flashing in her eyes.87Please respect copyright.PENANADtnHgHdpG8
“No, wait-”87Please respect copyright.PENANA6f1bg3h9Lv
She tripped, her sight immediately faded into black.87Please respect copyright.PENANASP9OSnv8bc
“What are you doing? We don’t have much more time before it completely unfreezes!”87Please respect copyright.PENANAfoahC4FMVl
Thomas ran towards Cynthia and grabbed it out of her hands. “Forget this! I’ll do it myself!”87Please respect copyright.PENANAcmTAdBJ64l
The Ghostwalker became lighter, Thomas never killed anyone with this.87Please respect copyright.PENANAuUe48C10Lm
“No wonder Zephyr said you weren't worthy.”87Please respect copyright.PENANAg6pFgKDexx
He thrust it into the Amalgamation as it began to absorb its power. It seemed the longer he held it, the faster it absorbed it.87Please respect copyright.PENANAnfN2oKoqMl
It screamed in fear and pain as its hands began to fall apart.87Please respect copyright.PENANA4lebiUZL9W
Cynthia was still on the floor as the visions and voices began to flood back in. Buck. Josh. Zephyr. Skye. Buck. Josh. Zephyr. Skye. Begging. Pleading. Screaming. Crying.87Please respect copyright.PENANAtO6GXRmtae
…87Please respect copyright.PENANAmjLGqDDBUL
GRAWWWWWRRR!!!!87Please respect copyright.PENANAiIttNeOT6T
…87Please respect copyright.PENANAUpbiaeHr0F
Darkness.87Please respect copyright.PENANAhzuIBhor7v
Hope appeared above her, wielding her dagger.87Please respect copyright.PENANAMW5rxW8JuH
It was different from how it normally looked. It looked more white, it shined in the darkness. It felt cold.87Please respect copyright.PENANApa8HhohFWA
Cynthia felt the vision.87Please respect copyright.PENANANJpx7JtLYI
“I’m sorry…”87Please respect copyright.PENANAihRuPSpZY5
Her face was filled with blood.87Please respect copyright.PENANAEaPYEMTnvo
She grabbed the dagger in her two hands and stabbed into her heart. Cynthia screamed in pain as she began to freeze up. No noise came out.87Please respect copyright.PENANAQFDSIqAuyz
“I can’t let you kill everyone else.”87Please respect copyright.PENANAFvonVEN5eK
She tried to shout. Pleading only to have no voice.87Please respect copyright.PENANAJr5pmonkYg
The ice froze her eyes as Hope faded away.87Please respect copyright.PENANA9mKgoAKaF0
It felt real.87Please respect copyright.PENANAFBbOEf5qMr
…87Please respect copyright.PENANAC8HZi3ZAjl
GRAWWWWRRRR!!!!87Please respect copyright.PENANAGifg91Yj4m
She snapped out of it. It seemed like one final vision before it would be confined back to the Ghostwalker but it wasn’t Cynthia killing anymore, but she instead being killed.87Please respect copyright.PENANAJrrJ0fAXcG
Her breathing was heavy, sight distorted, disoriented as she tried to look for the Ghostwalker. It was hard to see, but Thomas seemed to be confining the Amalgamation with it.87Please respect copyright.PENANAYT3sArtLDv
A hand burst out of another part of its body, whacking Thomas away. Its body began to break free from the ice magic.87Please respect copyright.PENANADvqb8vIvJh
Zhen grabbed another Ice Potion. “Shit! Run!”87Please respect copyright.PENANABftgrextWj
More hands began to sprout from other parts of the body. Some resorted into a fist shape, crashing down on the crew.87Please respect copyright.PENANA491oqFD1GE
Kai was held down on the metallic floor, slowly being crushed.87Please respect copyright.PENANAs6m6MKitwn
“AGGHHHH! HELP!”87Please respect copyright.PENANALZw5GGMPDm
Screams of agony were let out as his death was rapidly approaching. Cynthia, still with distorted vision, ran up to the Amalgamation, grabbing the Ghostwalker from Thomas before thrusting it back into the beast.87Please respect copyright.PENANA40G6WgDQkn
“Just DIE already!”87Please respect copyright.PENANAl8WqG1kkbN
She struggled to twist the Ghostwalker. The hands of the beast weakened and Kai began to break free from the grip.87Please respect copyright.PENANADyBXFCoHbr
It attempted to shapeshift but the Ghostwalker seemed to be keeping it in place.87Please respect copyright.PENANAIKLemCyz6V
“I don't think this is gonna work!” Kai strained. “We need to create an opening!”87Please respect copyright.PENANAp3SWjbSHsA
Cynthia slightly smiled. “We already did, and now look! We might actually-”87Please respect copyright.PENANAwEZEJMd2O1
“I mean literally. Every time it shapeshifts itself new arms, the holes expose the interior. We’re only harming the outside, but if we manage to fully get the Ghostwalker inside of it, maybe then we can confine it.”87Please respect copyright.PENANAwIDq4VBsuj
“Huh?” Cynthia looked up to the Amalgamation as it reached a hand and blasted Cynthia away. She kept hold of the Ghostwalker, but now all they could do was wait for the Amalgamation to create new holes inside of itself.87Please respect copyright.PENANAl6u010Q7ar
“It will just keep fighting back, it’s no use!” Zhen prepared to throw the Ice Potion in her hand.87Please respect copyright.PENANAwIUKj9wZwB
87Please respect copyright.PENANA8EiYHsCObY
87Please respect copyright.PENANAnvBcCPWbKT
Quick footsteps were heard from the hallway.87Please respect copyright.PENANABNvqc3Nus0
Suddenly, before the crew, a woman had stood behind them. It was hard to make out who it was, her hair covering her face as she looked down, as black, knightly armour began to form on her torso. She looked scruffy, parts of her left arm were slightly slashed, her right arm being completely made of black goop from the Darkheart.87Please respect copyright.PENANAwW1FHi9Yrr
“Stand back.” Her voice sounded different. Not the way she used to sound.87Please respect copyright.PENANAJQNAB2RIrR
“Bella?” Cynthia and Zhen say in unison. She didn’t even look at them.87Please respect copyright.PENANApNOJxMG1Ve
“Just let me handle this.”87Please respect copyright.PENANARvGIjiByZv
She held a staff. Just like the Amalgamation’s.87Please respect copyright.PENANAjYO7dlJa1g
She leaped upwards and charged down into the Amalgamation, bashing the staff across its face. Her staff began to rise as zombie-like beings began to form from nothing. The group of these creatures began to groan. Flicking her side bang away, Bella pointed her staff towards the Amalgamation as if she was ordering them to attack.87Please respect copyright.PENANA2EwjCmmHWo
The creatures began to expand the holes where the Amalgamation was creating more arms, finally creating a better opening.87Please respect copyright.PENANABzKejUE3ja
“Is that a good enough opportunity?” She glared at Cynthia. Her eyes were a shade of dark green. “Strike it!”87Please respect copyright.PENANAZIfMPkLUdR
She nodded, tightening her grip on the Ghostwalker before charging straight into the expanded hole. 87Please respect copyright.PENANAl6FeczSHjL
It screamed in pain, but it still tried to fight back as chains attempted to reach Cynthia.87Please respect copyright.PENANAo5hSqUPwMg
Suddenly, grey silhouettes emerged from its staff like chicks hatching from an egg. They started being launched to the floor as the silhouettes ragdolled on the ground.87Please respect copyright.PENANAfJITNDoLlk
Bella’s blackened hand scratched her head. “Huh? The one I had to handle didn't-”87Please respect copyright.PENANA23gdQSlMVI
A Speedster rammed into her. The other silhouettes began to shift into their real lifeforms.87Please respect copyright.PENANADvwYkSwKZJ
Conjurers, Swordsmen, Attackers, Defenders…87Please respect copyright.PENANA0sSjAAhKxt
Dominance.87Please respect copyright.PENANArc6i6lUuab
Bella’s blackened hand shapeshifted into a claw, and aggressively slashed at the horde of Terrors while spinning her staff in the other. They all began to fling from side to side of the room, but none fell.87Please respect copyright.PENANAOaTd5ZBbXr
“Why aren’t they going back?”87Please respect copyright.PENANAyA2o7Ptc7o
“What do you mean?” Thomas began shooting his pistol at Dominance… but Dominance just stared at Cynthia.87Please respect copyright.PENANAipcFZRBABv
“Dominic? How are you HERE? How is this even-”87Please respect copyright.PENANAmCaHcf6n1r
He conjured a Metal Fist and slammed it straight into Cynthia. She ungraciously fell to her back.87Please respect copyright.PENANAVCUO8dzihw
“I think we need to take the Amalgamation down! They’re all linked to… to…87Please respect copyright.PENANAMYOsQffzTu
Oh my god.”87Please respect copyright.PENANAoSNLYccixY
Bella looked up. There was a balcony, with a dark, mysterious figure standing. Watching. The Darkheart was unsheathed.87Please respect copyright.PENANAv0HpP2LjRg
“What?”87Please respect copyright.PENANA4zzWAsQoGl
They immediately slammed down from the balcony into the Amalgamation, stabbing it with the Darkheart. It began to form a giant, black sphere around the beast… trapping it.87Please respect copyright.PENANA30G2iRDMqo
An arm similar to Bella’s reached out to the Ghostwalker and instantly grabbed it from Cynthia’s hand with no struggle.87Please respect copyright.PENANAjBH2rFHqGf
At the split second that the beast broke out, the figure stabbed straight into the Amalgamation, holding it in place with dark vines.87Please respect copyright.PENANAz223hSRidj
The other resurrected Terrors began to disintegrate. That, along with Death.87Please respect copyright.PENANAgz0grnT4Nn
Swift footsteps were heard, along with heavy breathing. Hope and Theo arrived at the scene.87Please respect copyright.PENANAtuD39D5Cnp
Bella dropped her staff, looking in awe.87Please respect copyright.PENANAVVOjHfnEDu
That helmet. That darkheart-powered armour.87Please respect copyright.PENANAr4u2KuM2BJ
Shadow Rider.87Please respect copyright.PENANA4nnJ4Y3ohZ
Theo took a photo, breathing still shaking. 87Please respect copyright.PENANADBL83uDqjW
Nobody even bothered to stop him.87Please respect copyright.PENANAWrwRTgD9jO
They all just stared at the Leader.87Please respect copyright.PENANAflCkiSYKSP
Cynthia, Bella, Kai, Zhen, Thomas, Theo…87Please respect copyright.PENANA8QUydEXzki
And Hope. Hope broke the silence.87Please respect copyright.PENANAMDCVoXJrSm
“Cairo..?” 87Please respect copyright.PENANA4fWlZcAUSK
He took a step forward. No hesitation.87Please respect copyright.PENANAngivCBTbme
“The dagger. Hand it over.”87Please respect copyright.PENANAYjZtxCDffb
His eyes were finally visible. Looking into Hope’s soul. He spoke once more.87Please respect copyright.PENANA2i5YnCOVtQ
“I have to end this.”
