Everything went quiet.
Kaito lay motionless.
The eclipse flickered.
Vaelor turned away.
"Another failure."
But then—
A heartbeat echoed.
Not from Kaito.
From the sky.
The eclipse began to bleed light.
Silver Eyes' silver irises shattered.
And she whispered in terror—
"He awakened something older."
Kaito's eyes opened.
Not red.
Not black.
But something far worse.
