It started to crush my shield. Lea's voice, weak but determined, emerged from the dark grip. "The key! It's not what we thought!" "What key? What are you talking about?" I shouted, desperate for answers. "The song! The ancient lullaby!" Lea's voice trailed off, her face contorted in pain. My heart raced. The ancient lullaby. It was a melody passed down through generations, believed to hold untold power. Could that be the answer? Lilith, hearing Lea's words, began to chant. Her voice, hauntingly beautiful, echoed through the chamber, intertwining with the void's dark cacophony. The melody seemed familiar, and I realized she was singing the lullaby.

I say a little impatiently, she nods and approaches the laptop, Scott turns it to give her access and can carry out the transaction once she does it, she turns to me and comment “So they made it... D and you made it in...” I frown upon hearing that name, that's what they used to call Dark before joining the organization, why?

I laced it with pink light, tying to stich the tissue you back together. I turned to Isabell. She shrieked with rage as she soared at me. Her darkness melted into a sword. The dark blade grew huge. It seemed to suck in the light as I stared at it. It looked familiar. Memories flooded my brain. This was the sword Kira had liberated. This was the Night Sword. And now Isabell had it.

Then it took shape; “Manolya… ooh… Manolya Whispers rise from the deep below Through the depths of the ocean cold I am here… I am here… Lay down your fight, lay down to rest… The salt is sweet against your chest. Through wind and rain, through tears and pain, Break the link of sorrow’s chain. Come rest in my embrace tonight, It’s dark and peaceful, yet blinding bright. Let shadows dance in eternal flight, Surrender the sun, surrender the light. To prove your devotion, descend to me, The anchor is heavy, the spirit is free. Fall through the silence, set your soul deep, Into the cradle of infinite sleep. Come back to the darkness, where no one can see… Where the ‘you’ that they know can finall

“Of before. Of hands touching light. Of oceans that never stopped singing.” Sophia’s throat tightened. “That sounds like Soma.” Mina turned to her, expression solemn. “You called it a Pulse. But it calls itself a lullaby now.” Sophia frowned. “A lullaby?” Mina nodded. “For the tired parts of the world.” The wind stirred.

I still sing it sometimes when I can’t sleep.” She gives him a soft smile, looks down at him, then sings a melancholy tune; “Hush, little one, the phoenix sings, a lullaby of fiery wings, in darkness light begins to shine, at morning's warmth, our hearts entwine.” It’s a beautiful

“Miss Sophie? This was left in the old storeroom,” Martha said, placing a dust-covered box in Sophie’s hands. “Found it behind the old gramophone.” Sophie opened the lid. A cracked vinyl record rested inside, the label barely legible—*Moonhowl Lullaby.* Her breath caught. She remembered that night. Rain slashing sideways. Blood on her arms. Dylan’s head cradled against her chest. And the lullaby—her mother’s lullaby—on her lips, barely audible over the storm.
