Rod quickly discovered that it was not a shadow, but a mass of continuously surging black cohesion.
It seemed to be awakening from slumber, the roiling darkness growing more active.
"I see it!"
Rod didn't have time to confirm, shouted urgently, pointing ahead to his left.
Everyone immediately turned their gaze, only to see at the end of the hall, beneath the massive King Artifact, a sharp chair back exposed through thick ash.
The chair back was engraved with patterns of stars, and though only a corner was visible, its weight was evident.
Everyone's hearts tightened in an instant.
Clearly, buried beneath the ashes was the Throne of Stars.
On the throne must be the Starry Queen.
Moonlight flashed in Olivia's eyes as she shouted, "She is awakening from her dormant state!"
Jelaba shouted, "Everyone, prepare for battle!"
In an instant, countless spiritual energy waves spread out, and everyone dispersed to their positions.
Boom!
