The deep snow that covered the surrounding dense woodland smothered all sound, making it strangely quiet. With his weapon pulled and his deadly accuracy, Damien was the first to go out. He was always ready and his movements were precise and well-controlled. He said, "Clear," and gestured for the others to follow. A forgotten ghost from Damien's past The thin, faded emblem engraved into the steel hatch marked the entrance to Site Echo, which was concealed behind layers of frost-covered rock.

It didn’t take too long after that when I finally found something on the dark web. “Dad.” I said. “What?” He asked, looking up. “Vampires are talking.

I descended into the bowels of the mountain, past the Gravelight Caverns, into a level so ancient the blue bioluminescence had long since died out. I moved in a sphere of my own violet light, the scales on my arms clicking softly as I adjusted the weight of my cloak.

But the lake’s surface went still again—flat as a held breath, black as a promise—and in that blackness a city’s reflection trembled, ignorant of how closely it was being studied.

Clearly, someone was there often to maintain it. She did not forget to bring Dash along. She forced him to kneel and slammed his head on the ground repeatedly. "You owe him this!"
