Chapter 104: The Note

Looking at the feather pen and parchment handed to her by the Tomb Guardian, Fenna took a deep breath to quickly steady her emotions.

"How long may I stay inside?" she looked up and stared at the nameless Tomb Guardian.

The Tomb Guardian slightly bowed his head, this being that simultaneously embodied life and death seemed to seriously judge the strength of the soul before him and gave a chilling response, "A moment, or eternity."

This answer implied that the message soon to be conveyed from the tomb would be brief and singular, yet it might point towards a very dangerous "origin", where the Listener risked death.

Fenna nodded slightly and withdrew her gaze from the Tomb Guardian.

She stepped towards the massive tomb not far away, with the Tomb Guardian following close behind. Rusted chains dragged on the ground, screeching sharply, while the gathered shadows in the plaza merely watched silently as a chosen saint approached the sepulcher.
