The world shriveled down to the size of that crushed, bloody wolf-head medallion dangling from Julian’s mutated hand.The heavy silence inside the subterranean vault was broken only by the rhythmic, agonizing thrum of the Eclipse Siphon on its pedestal. My eyes were glued to the dark crimson stains drying against the iron fur of the wolf emblem.Kaelen.Through the five-fold bond in my soul, the cold, hollow void where Kaelen’s presence usually rested didn't flare into death, but a jagged, agonizing spike of phantom pain ripped through my collarbone.
