Veyd shouts a warning. But I'm everywhere now. *And I'm hungry.* --- **The Eclipse** The Primal Verse arrives as the sky dies. Their ship eclipses the sun, its tendrils carving trenches into the earth. The sapling-*my body*-stretches toward them, roots crackling with stolen power. **"You're late,"** I say, my voice a chorus of storm and rot. The Verse's answer is a beam of pure entropy. I catch it. --- **The Aftermath**

“Well, thank you my dear. Why don’t you go mingle with some of my colleagues while I go over both yours and Mrs. Burns projects.” I nodded and she gently pushed me into the crowd of people. Veronica came up to me once she noticed I had arrived, interrupting the conversation she was having with one of the CEOs that was at the meeting yesterday. “May the better woman win” Veronica said coyly as she stuck her hand out to shake mine, in other hand was a salt rimmed martini glass filled with a red liquid. “Indeed, may the best CEO prevail.” I said with just as much coy, but even more confidence.

This was the Golden Lycan, the apex predator of the Aetheric age. "Malakor!" Xander’s voice was a seismic event. He opened his jaws, but he didn't bark. He unleashed the Song of the Hollow Court as a pure, destructive force. In Geneva, the song had been a stabilizer. Here, it was a Sonic Hammer. $$F_{\text{Destruction}} = \int (\text{Alpha\_Prime}) \times (\text{Hollow\_Chord}) \, dt$$

"It's the mountain's song, and the Geode's song, and the Heartwood's song. It's the song of a world that refused to die. Sing that for her. Sing of the spring that comes after the long winter." Lyra took a deep, shaky breath. She closed her eyes, finding the music inside her. Then, she began to sing. It was the song of the First Dawn. The song of grey turning to gold. But she wove into it a new verse—a verse for the sea. She sang of the relentless, cleansing power of the tides, of the way the ocean could take broken things and smooth them into something beautiful. She sang of the rain that falls, no matter how long the drought.

"The Fourth Verse isn't a song, child. It’s a Command Code. It’s the 'Root Password' for the Mother and Father Roots. Leo and Mia didn't write it because they knew that once it was played, the Synthesis would be Formatted. It returns the biological matter to its base state. It deletes the 'Soul' and leaves the 'Utility'." ​He tapped a button on his desk. A holographic display of the Earth appeared, but it was being stripped of its green canopy, the cities turning back into grey, sterile Sterling blocks. ​"The Siphons are coming to delete the galaxy because it’s messy," Sterling said, sipping his drink. "I’m going to show them that humanity can be Clean again. I’m going to use the Fourth Vers

Activating its powers again, the halberd set loose a sudden surge of purplish-gold brilliance and the destructive beam shot at the Human King of the Chamber. Bong! Bong! The Human King took out a little drum and pounded hard on its face. The little drum shone like a diamond as it rumbled, and the air quivered. Boom! That shattered the purplish-gold beam fired by Chu Xun's halberd and the sonic waves came crashing like tidal waves. Sonic wave attacks?! It was the sort of attack that Chu Xun would always find cumbersome for it deals damage directly to one's soul. The sonic waves came like an unstoppable tide, falling down trees and tearing them into chips and flakes with terrifying efficacy.

Emily clutched Jason's hand tightly as Sonia closed her eyes, raised both hands slightly over the stone, and began to chant in a voice that was steady but carried an ancient strength: "Spirits of the past and shadowed truth, Guardians of the spellbound youth, Unveil the path from dark to flame, Show me the heart who dares proclaim. Eyes of fire and blood-stained night, Reveal the thief who holds cursed might. By root, by sky, by bone, by tree, Unlock the gate and let me see." A soft wind stirred inside the room, though no windows were open. The dust began to lift in the air and circle around Sonia. Her hands trembled slightly as she continued:

They sang of the fallen warrior, relishing in the pain of his loss, but also of the ones they hadn't found, the ones who were lost or missing. *You take your sweet little time cause it's all you've got,A darker day, a total eclipse, Snow falls on a borderline crime yet it's somehow not ,A plea of mercy lingers on these frozen lips,Why can't you just let me in and be?Poseidon sends his waves to drag me far out to sea* *If you could only see the beast you've made of me I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart Drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart*

Vanessa mocked, laughing gleefully. Sharp teeth pierced through Selene's limbs. But compared to the physical pain tearing away at her body, the pain in her heart was far worse. She forced open her mouth and, with the last of her strength, said, "A fitting end for you… is death… If I get another chance at life, I'll kill you with my own hands!" As her consciousness faded, Selene seemed to hear a familiar cry. "Selly!" However, she could no longer tell whose voice it was.
