Kade was the first to reach her. He threw himself off the horse and raced by foot towards her. He could barely speak. His eyes shook, his pupils dilated. He dropped to his knees, shakily touching her face. She was limp. She was cold.
Blood poured from her throat. He pulled her into his arms, unable to even breathe. He heard ringing in his ears.

Lina was gone.
Kade couldn't hold it back. He was unable to. Everything within him snapped.
No one in the world had ever heard as loud of a scream as the Commander of Ritan. His blood-curling roar sent the whole world trembling. It shook the earth's core.
Even Atlan faltered back, his ears bleeding from the frightening sound. Everyone watched in horror. They were terrified of the insidious sound, like a wounded beast.
