After the battle, Kara confronts Reven, anger simmering beneath the surface.
Kara: "What are you? What have you done to me?"
Reven (calmly): "I am a soul bound to yours. You saved me from an eternity of torment. In return, I will protect you. But you need to understand—the world has changed. The Pale Ones will stop at nothing to claim the power inside you."
Kara doesn't want to believe it, but the strange, otherworldly energy inside her tells her that this is real. She starts to notice more signs—phantom whispers, fleeting shadows. The world around her is crawling with the spirits of the undead.
Kara (resigned): "So... what now? What do we do?"
Reven: "We fight. But first, you must learn who you truly are. Your mother kept secrets from you, and those secrets hold the key to everything."
Kara's mind spins with questions, but before they can leave, a cloaked figure steps out of the shadows—a man with cold, pale eyes.
Lucian: "So, you're the new Soul Binder. I was wondering when you'd show up."
Lucian, another soul-bound warrior, reveals the truth about Kara's heritage, but his motives remain unclear. Is he friend or foe?
