Cassie called out to Effie and watched her drag her starved body into a lethal battle against a Supreme Demon.
At the same time, she called out to Jet and Kai, watching Kai lead a fallen god away from the Jade Palace in a suicidal pursuit.
At the same time, she called out to Rain, wishing to make sure that the young woman was safe in the middle of a devastating confrontation between the Mad Prince and the Dreamspawn, which was happening just one flight of stairs below the Archway Hall of the Ebony Tower.
However, to her surprise...
Rain wasn't there.
For a moment, Cassie's heart seemed to stop beating.
But then, she found the Princess of Shadows again...
Rain was leaning on a white stone wall, breathing heavily. Around her, mangled bodies littered the floor.
Behind her, the skull of a dead dragon stared at the sky with empty eye sockets.
'That's...'
That was the Ivory Tower.
[Rain? How did you...]
Rain flinched.
