Madilim ang buong paligid sa DQ pero dahil nasaulo na niya ang daan sa ilang taong pabalik-balik siya dito, hindi na siya nahirapan. Walang pinagbago ang lahat sa lumipas na anim na buwan na hindi siya bumisita. Ganon pa rin ang paligid, ang muwebles at ang katahimikan.

Everytime she walks pass someone they would pretend they did not see her and she would do the same. Here, words are worthless unless you will be uttering something of importance.

Marahan siyang kumatok sa malaking pinto ng tatlong beses. Then she cut her palm open and let her blood soaked the door knob. After a few seconds, umilaw ang door knob. A sign that they recognize her blood. The door knob twisted a few times on its own then the door opened revealing a more darker room filled with red candles.

The room flickered with orange light from the flames and it momentarily chased the darkness away. But when she stepped inside, the darkness returned blinding her with total blackness. A looming figure awaits her and the door closed.

"I have come as you summoned." She knelled before them.

The figure moved slowly. They were blending with the shadow so you can't tell how many they are. She caught five different shades of black in her peripheral vision pero nang lumapit ang isa sa kanila, agad siyang nagbaba ng tingin.

"Argaut has fallen."

His deep, rough voice rumbled. The voice was different and menacingly dark. It's like ten men had combined their voices all together.

"But his letter arrived."

Naging tahimik ang buong paligid.
After a few seconds of silence, he finally spoke the words she thought she'd never hear.

"The Void Walker is back."

Napaangat siya ng tingin. This means their plan must be executed now that the girl they need has come back.

"Bring the Night Howler. It will summon the beast we need."

Nagsalita ulit ang lalaking nasa harapan niya. He was tall and big but because of the shadow that hides, she cannot see his face.

"We need the White Fang."

A scratchy voice that sounded like a woman dying whispered behind her. She did not move for it would show disrespect. Instead, she bowed her head even more.

"Find the cursed."

Another scratchy voice grumble and it echoed all over the room.

"Find her! Find the cursed witch."

They sounded like there were hundred of voices whispering all together. They kept repeating the words 'cursed witch' and 'white fang'.

Yumuko ulit ako and I kneeled before them.

"Consider it done my Lords."

Pagkalabas ko sa silid, agad kong sinuri ang Night Howler na ibinigay nila sakin. It was black and small. It looked like a whistle but it was made of bone. We lost so many men trying to get this and now and I'm holding it, I can see our plans finally coming to life.

I must find the cursed witch, get the beast and bring the white fang to the Shadows. And then the world will finally be what it should have been: altered.
