A Day Earlier...
Darkness curled around the edges of the forgotten realm where Katherina stood. Her laughter echoed softly as pale blue flames floated around her.
The spirits of the dead circled, their hollow eyes burning with ancient hatred.
"So, the Moon Goddess finally trembles," Katherina whispered, her voice calm but dangerous. "Kimberly's heart is my key. Pain will open her power faster than love ever could."
A shadowed spirit moved closer. "You speak of lies, Katherina. What will it cost us?
Katherina smiled faintly. "Only truth. I will whisper into her dreams the image of Theo's death. Her grief will tear her open.
The rage will consume her, and when she loses control, the balance of light will crumble."
Another spirit hissed, "And the wolves? The ones who destroyed us? What becomes of them?"
