Chrome and Claws
Chapter 77
Raven's eyes drooped slightly, exhausted but still radiating a terrifying aura, as she scanned the horizon.
Axel knelt at her side, his hands holding hers. “Raven… it’s over… now,” he whispered.

She fell to her knees, coughing violently as her vision swirled, and the Hollow Blade’s presence wrapped around her like a living shadow, coiling into the deepest recesses of her mind.
