Voice of the Dead Stars

Quinn, consumed by his hatred, remained oblivious to his surroundings, but Aria and Thorn were stunned by Talon's appearance. It wasn't just his burning body that alarmed them.

His cracked and nearly irreparable skin, along with his peculiar movements, raised their concerns. Additionally, the sight of him wielding a strange spear and a bronze shield was unsettling.

However, what truly shocked them was the two figures standing behind Talon.

Their silhouettes were barely discernible, one shrouded in thick white fog and the other in red. Both had a hand resting on Aiden's shoulder as if offering him support.

Thorn and Aria could only watch, unable to intervene as Aiden and Quinn launched their attacks without hesitation.

Engulfed in flames, Aiden charged at Vincent, his spear aimed directly at the vampire duke. In response, Vincent fashioned the shadows into a deadly blade, ready to meet Aiden's charge.
