It was midnight when the Flying-cloud Stone passed over the Miasma Mountain Range and the party of three finally reached the Ridge of Broken Souls. The night was silent. So usually still that one would have felt shivers creeping up his back. Not a light was in sight, not even the flicker of a candle or the glowing embers of a burning hearth.

Chapter 46: Minutes Before Midnight The minutes before midnight felt like an eternity. When the clock finally hit twelve, we stepped out into the cool, quiet night.

"It is called the Crossing," she said. "And my child, it is dangerous." "How dangerous?" Zephyr asked. Her eyes shifted to him, then back to me.

To undo it… is to face it from the inside. Spirit to spirit."

Still, I had no choice. I crossed the border, knowing I might not make it out alive. My plan was simple: get in, find the book, and get out.

A parent emerged from the darkness, getting into the dim mild of the street

When I opened the door, a blast of cold air hit me like a wave. It reminded me of that scary time after a really tough delivery, when I was shivering and truly thought that I might not make it.
