"Don't move," he said through gritted teeth. "This is the best protection I can give you." With a sharp cracking sound, a black crystal flew from his chest and landed in my hand. It was a heart-stoppingly beautiful crystal, as if it held the saddest melody in the world sealed within. "A Requiem Shard," Kael said weakly. "It's condensed from my deepest sorrow and despair. Crush it. Any soul that hears the sound will be plunged into absolute silence."

The pack house rose like a dark fortress—nothing like the elegant Silver Claw manor or the clean-lined designs of Thunder Bite. This place felt ancient, heavy… dominant.

Joshua thinks that he wouldn't be that surprised if he starts to form wrinkles on his forehead and be deaf from listening to Leo's endless bleating like a goat. "I'm sorry, I don't follow. Who is Crystal Mayhem?" Joshua Brenner is quite a liar. He knows who is Crystal Mayhem, and it was only a coincidence that she happen to rent a room in his building for a week because of her work.

he whispered. He closed his eyes. The bond between them was faint but not broken. Somewhere, deep inside him, the tie tugged like a string of magic and memory. But so did something else. A pulse. Slow. Heavy. Evil. The Crimson Order had begun to move again. --- The Crimson Order Hidden beneath the ruins of the ancient city Valemourne, a place untouched by time and cursed by blood, the Crimson Order gathered in silence. Candles burned with black flames. The walls were etched with old prophecies, written in the tongues of demons and dead kings.

The ground shook. From deep beneath the earth, pillars of crimson fire erupted: The Crimson Order had begun the final ritual. Evelyn leapt to her feet, staring toward the light.

*"Yet you... you are a dissonance. A *stain*." Eden's scars flare, gold light spilling into the dark. The Requiem tilts her head. *"Ah. The Cantor's little refrain.
