Chris noticed Raven standing there, frozen in place. His expression was tight, his face pale, his whole body stiff as though he had just seen a ghost crawl out of the shadows.
He reached forward and gave him a small shake. "Hey. Snap out of it."
Raven jerked violently, his eyes darting around as though searching for something that wasn't there. His breath was uneven, his fingers trembling slightly against the hilt of his chain.
"Did you hear that voice too?" he asked suddenly, his tone sharp and urgent.
Chris blinked. "What voice? What're you talking about?"
That answer hit Raven like a bucket of cold water. Chris hadn't heard anything. Only he had.
He quickly glanced back at the quest window that had appeared before his eyes a moment ago. But it was gone, vanished as though it had never existed.
'Was it… an illusion?'
