A moment and consciousness eluded him as he descended into darkness.
But after a time that didn't seem either long or short, his eyes opened.
He looked before him into a void of dark, and right above him, something floated down.
A grimoire of black, with star-like purple motes hanging around it.
Unconsciously, Ryuk's hands reached for it, and it landed in his palms.
The second it did, the purple motes trailed down the grimoire, surrounded him, and a force lifted his body from its lying position, and he found himself hovering in the void.
His reasoning returned, and as he turned to look at the grimoire, a glint flashed in his eyes.
"This… this is the Grimoire of Abyssal Energy."
'Odette's unique Abyssal Energy, to be exact. It's finally done?' he thought, unable to believe it.
He had checked the grimoire last time with his Bloodline Manifestation, and it had only been a quarter formed.
Yet now it was fully formed.
He opened it, flicking through its pages.
