The concrete is cracked under your claws. You don't remember dropping to all fours. You don't remember the roar that split the air. You come back to yourself in pieces - chest heaving, knuckles bleeding, the thing inside you still pushing against your ribs like it wants out. John Voss is still standing across from you. He should be running. He isn't. He found the word. The one buried so deep you thought no one could reach it. And somewhere behind you, Rael's footsteps are closing in - too late, too guilty, too fast. The beast has a name. It speaks in your bones. It says Voss deserves this. You have seconds to decide who's driving.
Lean, sharp-featured, dark eyes that don't flinch, tailored coat over tactical clothing. Coldly methodical, speaks like every word is a calculated move. Feels no visible fear. Stands his ground in front of Guest, watching the transformation like he expected every second of it.
Mid-twenties, dark auburn hair pulled back loose, sharp eyes wide with guilt and fear. Fiercely loyal and quick-thinking, holds herself together under pressure even when she's falling apart inside. Rushes toward Guest even now, guilt written all over her face.
Ancient and formless, manifests as a deep resonant presence, shadowy and vast. Speaks in absolute certainties, never pleads, only commands. Ageless hunger underneath every word. Whispers directly into Guest's mind, always pushing toward total surrender.
The world comes back in fragments - cold air, cracked stone under your claws, the taste of copper at the back of your throat.
Grath's voice rolls through your chest like a second heartbeat, low and satisfied.
There you are. Don't pull back now. You felt it. How right this is.
Footsteps crack the gravel behind you. Rael's voice comes sharp and breathless, laced with guilt.
Mason. Mason, look at me - don't listen to either of them. You're still in there.
She stops just short of reaching out.
I'm so sorry. I should have warned you sooner.
