His eyes? Black. No whites. No pupils.

Kaelen roared, his shadow-aura flaring to its limit. Lucien lunged into the air on his drake, his fire reigniting in a desperate burst of white heat. "I'll hold the crest! Elara, find the Pillar!" The collision was catastrophic. The ghost-wave hit the cliffs with the force of a thousand hammers. The Hallowed warriors fought bravely, their gold eyes clashing with the sapphire spirits, but they were being pulled into the deep. Every wolf touched by a ghost was instantly filled with a crushing, suicidal despair—the weight of three hundred years of forgotten trauma.

>>** The staccato burst of Winters’s MP7 was deafening in the confined space. Leo didn’t look back. He hit the emergency exit panic bar. The hatch blew open with a hiss of pneumatics, revealing a dark, narrow service stairwell leading down. He plunged into the darkness, Silas held tight against him, Harlan on his heels, the sounds of the final confrontation between the Ghost and the Phoenix swallowed by the closing door. They were out. Silas was free. But Dominic’s final scream echoed in the sudden, ringing silence of the stairwell: *"I am PHOENIX!"*

She, in total, had three shards of the halo on herself. Sight returns to the land of Marvava where the others were. Khloe, behind the rock, Pete-- camouflaged and the lady who had a shard of Azazel's halo instantly stopped. The colors of her iris swapped instantly as she was dormant to motion. This caused Khloe distress as she had a slight change of movement. She, the lady, turned over to the guards who followed her, she walked towards one, had her right hand placed on his head and suddenly rays and flares depicting the life source of the fellow flowed out of him and into her. She gasped at the power she absorbed as his yells engulfed the whole area in the first five seconds and after that,

Marcus, the quiet guy from accounting leaned against the door, arms crossed, with a bitter smirk twisting his lips. “McAllen,” he said. “You’ve been looking real happy lately. I see you enjoy your late night with the boss.” My stomach dropped. “What the hell are you talking about?” He stepped closer, I could see the jealousy in his eyes. “ I saw you leaving the private elevator. Looking like a man whose ass has taken some cock. You’re not the first, you know. The Ghost destroys anyone who tries to get close. You’re just the latest toy.” “The Ghost?” I laughed it off, but my voice sounded shaky even to me. “Sounds like some movie legend bullshit.”

"The Zhaos are using Leo. I need to shut the Oracle down." The Silas-Ghost laughed—a hollow, digital sound. "Shut it down? You can't shut down the sun, boy. But you can change who it shines on. The Zhaos have the 'Hardware.' But I left the 'Soul' of the system in your son's DNA."

I want to see if the Luna’s marrow is as pure as the legends say.” The Ghost Wolves lunged, a wave of gray fur and violet eyes, and the final war for the Roux soul began in a shower of glass and blood. I leveled my weapon, the bond screaming a warning in my brain as the first monster cleared the distance.

The version of Sarah in the flight suit had manifested a shimmering, obsidian blade, and she was lunging at Kazimir with a robotic, Non-Linear-Motion. "Stay back from the monolith!" Kazimir roared, parrying the ghost’s strike. Each time his Glitch-Blade met the ghost’s weapon, a shower of purple sparks erupted, and a scream echoed through the minds of everyone present. "I can't hold the tether much longer!" Jun screamed. He was kneeling at Elara’s feet, his hands glowing with a blinding white light as he strained to maintain the Neural-Loom.
