I was still staring at the stage, where hours ago, champagne had flowed and flashbulbs had gone off like fireworks. Now, the place reeked of smoke and adrenaline. “Talk,” I said finally. “The blackout wasn’t an accident,” he said. “Someone triggered the breaker from the service hall. We traced it to an external signal—likely remote access. The cameras went down for ninety seconds.” Ninety seconds. That was all it had taken for chaos to unravel. For Brooklyn to vanish from sight. For my heart to stop.

For one terrible second, nobody moved. Nobody breathed. The massive crack stretched across the night sky like a wound carved into reality itself. Silver light poured from within it. Not lightning. Not moonlight. Something older. Something is wrong. The sight froze everyone on Blackthorn's walls. Warriors. Watchers. The Hollow Order. Even Seraphine. Even Lucien.

He tapped his tablet, and a series of numbers began to scroll across the screen in a cold, flickering green.

"Connect me to the colosseum." ~~~ Everyone still n the colosseum was in a panic. Thousands of people weren't able to get out. Some decided to stay but most are running around in panic, it was chaos. And no one can do anything about it. The black hole was still resisting the Great Wall. No one was planning to back down.
