Lyra’s POV“Convince it to choose life?”I stared at the ancient father.“Your solution to an ancient creature destroying existence is to talk to it?”His expression remained serious.“When you say it like that, it sounds ridiculous.”“Because it IS ridiculous!”Kael coughed beside me, clearly trying not to laugh.I pointed at him.“You're not helping, husband.”He raised both hands.“I'm supporting you emotionally.”“Support me by staying alive.”“An excellent suggestion.”Luna giggled.For a moment, the ruined chamber felt almost normal.Then the ancient father tried to stand and collapsed.Kael caught him.“Enough jokes,” he said. “Tell us what we need to know.”The old man's gaze drifted toward the broken sky.“The Silence existed before the first thought.
