C12 The Voice Beneath the Seal

"Finally."

The word wasn't loud.

It didn't need to be.

It settled inside Lyra's mind with the weight of something ancient.

Something that had been waiting.

Sleeping.

Her entire body went cold.

For a moment, she forgot about the battlefield around her.

The warriors.

The attackers.

The broken rooftops.

Everything disappeared.

There was only that voice.

Not Nyx
