~Odette~
My mother's words shattered her heart. But she was right. Despite it all, I couldn't hold back anymore.
Not if I wanted to defeat him once and for all.
It was time. No more playing. No more avoiding the inevitable.

The meteor.
I closed my fist around the stone.
It was small, dense, made with things older than most anything living. Not a weapon. A vessel. The plan was simple. Mostly. Shove the stone inside her mother, find Ezelreth's soul, separate them and compress his soul into the stone before he understood what I was doing.
Yeah super simple.
Why hadn't we come up with a better insertion plan…
I needed speed.
Speed was everything. He couldn't know until it was already done.
I moved.
