Melody glared at me, her brows furrowed. "Don't try any tricks. Give me the statue. When you're gone, I'll honor you, but I will take your place as chief designer. I'll live better, stronger, in your stead."

A horrifying scream sliced through the air. "Ah!"
A swirl of dark energy dissipated into nothingness.
