"Lord Elaric's empire exists now only in whatever delusions sustain his expedition." The crystal communication devices pulsed with acknowledgment from their mysterious patrons—ancient allies who'd provided resources and coordination that exceeded anything available through conventional channels. Whatever larger design they served, the western phase had succeeded beyond all projections. "Phase One complete," reported Lord Blackwood's voice through the crystal network. "The Shadow Lord sails toward whatever reception ancient powers have prepared, while his empire crumbles behind him according to our carefully coordinated efforts."

Rita held her hand and helped her up. Vivian sniffed her nose; one of her mysterious gifts was crying easily, so tears were already flowing down her cheeks. Rita wiped away her tears with her palm and then confronted her. “You need to stop blaming yourself, my dear. It's not your fault at all; it's not easy carrying another human inside of you!” Rita continued assuring Vivian.

Hundreds of smoke-like figures floated through the streets, heading toward the Central Node. "They're feeding," Roric whispered. One of the shadows leaned over a sleeping woman. It didn't bite; it pressed its translucent face against hers. Her violet-glowing eyes flickered before goi

Determined to uncover the full extent of the conspiracy, Luna and her trusted allies delved deeper into the digital labyrinth.

He uses the old blueprints the consortium to optimize it. They are hunters who are out of our own mistakes were built.’ Suddenly a bright, shrill sound broke through silence. It was not a cry, but a
