They reached the throne room. Morrigan stood in the center, her shadow-monsters prowling the rafters. She laughed, a sound like dry bones. "You think a bond of flesh can stop the darkness?"
While Soren fought the shadows with a blade that now glowed with blue fire, Mika stepped toward Morrigan. He didn't use a weapon. He sang. It was a pure, high note of resonance that hit the frequency of the blackened crystals around Morrigan's neck.
One by one, the crystals shattered. Morrigan screamed as her own shadows turned on her, dragging her down into the cracks of the stone. The Seer was gone.
