The shards of broken glass still lay scattered across the floor where Marcelo had cornered me hours ago, jagged little reminders of how reckless I’d been, how far I’d fallen.

This time he found a foot. This attack had actually moved the black shadows, and it let out a sharp scream. This was a living thing! Roar— Under the chaotic smashing of the Requiem Clock, the ground cracked. The black shadow underneath finally could not bear it anymore and let out a roar. It broke out of the ground.

Just shadow. She barely turned in time to meet another. It lunged, black eyes empty, and she countered with a burst of her silver fire. The light slammed into it, burning through the darkness. The Shadowborn shrieked, a sound that wasn’t wolf or human and vanished into dust. Her fire worked. But she could already feel it draining her. Every use left her weaker, the edges of her vision blurring. “Garron!” she called out through the bond. Burn the corpses if they fall. Don’t touch them with bare skin. They carry corruption.

Finn shifted instantly with a savage snarl, his wolf exploding outward as he slammed into one of the moving shadows. But his claws passed through it. “What the hell?!” Sophie shouted.

A deep, guttural growl resonated through the crumbling world as the fabric of reality itself seemed to tear open. The True Shadow, the primordial entity that had been lurking beneath Aurex’s existence, began to materialize. It was a being of pure malice—its form unrecognizable, a swirling mass of darkness that pulsed with raw, ancient power.
