The battle on the streets of Ghent is fierce, blood everywhere. The masquerade discarded. Prince Wolfe and Aelfric gone mental inside a building full of flats. One figure stands on top of it, seemingly unmoving and undisturbed by the movement below. Suddenly she looks up at the full moon, her hand stroking the dog sitting next to her.
Her eyes are clear, the knowledge of someone that knows they are going to die inside them.
"One last fight so others may live ..."
She knows they won't understand, Candice, Chris, Layne ...
The next GateKeeper has been appointed.
She breathes in deeply and closes her eyes, mentally going over her preparations and weaponry.
Looking at the moon one last time before she speaks for the first time in nights.
"I will see you soon Alexis ..."
She looks at the battlefield, becoming one with the shadows, using the power of her blood to fly down to a lower house before dropping her cloack and stepping into sight, repeating to herself silently "I am the GateKeeper to Golconda, I will die so others may live and pass through ... God have mercy on my soul ..."
