"The psalmist hand. Located in the city of Jerusalem, Israel. Once I lay my hands on this, the world shall know my worth" She picked up her phone and dialed Kema's(Vicoliz father) number.

"Get me the psalmist hand" "The psalmist hand. The perfection of the body all in one. The 7th element after the Anti life equation. No one knows the location of the Psalmist hand" Kema replied

*"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. Let me fix that."* She plucks a string. The melody in Eden erupts, a scream that tears through his veins. He collapses, clawing at his chest as the gold light fractures, piercing his skin like needles. I lunge, but the Requiem flicks a wrist. The air solidifies, crushing me to my knees. *"Hush,"* she croons. *"This is a *mercy*."*

"Manus validates manu facta cum vita mea vim, matters and deep tenebris ad implandum voluntem meam [Spectral Hand]" Created from the condensation of necromantic energy, Viktor produced a hand which seemed the product of the worst nightmares. Black as night, the spectral hand possessed fingers shaped like dangerous claws. Driven by the power of black magic, the spectral hand reached for Herwin's neck, who gasped as the dangerous hand grabbed hold of him. His panicky eyes met Viktor's cold, glassy eyes. the ghostly hand closed tightly around Herwin's neck. Viktor was not a necromancer. He would not allow anyone to call him that!

He stopped and looked at his palms it was a deep shade of red, he furrowed his brows as he realised he can't feel anything. Taking a shaky breath, he took out the orchids and placed it over the top of the cemetery, with the same frailness and tenderness as someone would show while dealing with their most loved possession, most precious possession, his hands trembling badly, with exhaustion, with the emotions he was feeling, he didn't know.

The crypt is maintained and cleaned weekly, and fresh flowers are always placed in side. Zio is placed in his resting place, and zia is placed in hers. Andros holds my hand as the priest begins the service. I bow my head as he speaks in Italian. I have drowned it all out. All I can hear is the blood rushing in my ears and the beating of my heart in my chest. “Amen.” I look up and see as the doors are both closed and sealed shut. I stand there just watching. I wait until I’m left on my own.

The quartet played on, soft and beautiful, and I waited—heart in my throat—for her answer. "Yes," she whispered. "Yes, yes, a thousand times yes." I slipped the ring onto her finger, then pulled her into my arms, kissing her with all the love and relief and overwhelming joy I couldn't put into words. She was crying and laughing at the same time, her hands framing my face. "It's perfect, Damien. Everything about this is perfect." "Yeah?" "Yeah." She kissed me again. "Though I have one question." "Anything." "Is there really a string quartet, or are you just playing music?"

I was woken by my brother Ivan Goldsmith's labored, uneasy breathing. Opening my eyes, I saw the familiar room. I couldn't see any wedding decorations or smell any fragrance in the air. I had been reborn. Shock and joy made my head spin. "Iris, hand me a glass of water." Ivan's low, hoarse voice came from the next room, making me flinch. I glanced at the watch on my wrist, and a thin layer of sweat broke out across my back.

If Beatrice won't come to me, I'll send pieces of myself to her. The first package was almost poetic. A severed hand, still warm when I wrapped it in black satin ribbon. The skin was pale against the dark fabric, beautiful almost. I slipped a note inside, the ink blotting slightly from my heavy hand: My hands kill for you. My heart beats for you. Both are yours to keep.

She gasped and kept her mouth shut. Mrs Marble helped me stood and everything was settled. All was prepared in the backyard. Mr Marble walked me on the white carpet all the way to Mr Montgomery, waiting at the altar. He grabbed my hand as Mrs Marble left to sit near his mother. As their housekeeper for ages, she was meant to be their right hand, that’s why she was trusted to take me at the altar and deserved a place in the audience. Tears of joy were rolling down her face and I felt bad for deceiving Mrs Marble, but the devil doesn’t bargain and it seemed this secret would be buried with both of us and the lawyer who mediates this contract.
