"The light… the light…"
Alter murmurs under her breath, repeating Morvena's final words again and again like a mantra, trying to pull meaning from them, her eyebrows knitting in thought.
Meanwhile, I have no freaking idea what 'the light' means is either.
The light? What light? Is it some kind of threat? A person? A monster? A demon???
I scan the space around us. There's only the three of us here—Morvena, Alter, and me. There's no one else.
So then… who the heck is "the light?"
The only illumination comes from the towering radiant swords planted in a circle around us. They've been glowing this whole time with their sacred lights, acting as beacons to drive away darkness.
There's no way they're the enemy.
Right?
Suddenly—
RUMBLE.
The entire world trembles beneath our feet, like there's an earthquake going on. The air shifts, growing more and more heavy and thick, like the pressure building up in a sealed chamber.
Then I hear it.
Ringing.
