Cassandra’s ritual ended abruptly, her goddess’ power shaken by a dark might that rivaled her own. The images of Taulas and Lycaon’s terrible fusion vanished as the soul returned to the safety of Romulus’ armor, but his vile cloak of stolen spirits remained. The [Demigod]’s mask started to break as the trapped souls flew out of him, rising into the skies before falling down to earth.

And Cassandra ran.

She turned her back on the maddened [Demigod] before the spirits could claim her, trying to run for the hill. But stolen souls soon fell upon the area, bursting into blinding explosions of dark energy upon hitting the ground. Gritting her teeth, Cassandra raised her fork and used her ghostfire to detonate the spirit projectiles in the air. But there were too many, and she had to run closer to the armies’ melee to escape the bombardment.

I can’t beat him, Cassandra realized as Romulus’ voice turned into a maddened wolf’s howl, his body obscured by his cloak of murdered victims. This is beyond my goddess’ power… and mine.

But what she had seen… What she had just seen…

This could be the key to destroying Lycaon for good.

Cassandra wanted nothing more than to stand up and fight to avenge her husband, but if her own goddess’ power couldn’t shake the evil power sustaining Romulus’ undeath, she had no hope of doing any better. Even her ghostfire barely inflicted lasting damage; and if Romulus killed her, she would join those maddened souls.

Even killing Romulus might not free her husband’s soul from the wolf-god’s jaws.

I’m sorry, Tiberius. Cassandra ran as fast as she could to avoid the bombardment. I have to give this information to Kairos. This is the only way to save you.

If she lived that long.

Running through the dust, Cassandra walked straight into the killing zone. Tightly packed formations of Valian and Thessalan soldiers kept their backs turned on her, pushing their spears and shields towards a foe Cassandra couldn’t see. However, as she witnessed soldiers sent flying into the air, she immediately guessed who Zama’s army was so desperately trying to contain.

Ultor was breaking out of the Valian encirclement.

Perhaps helped by their buffs, soldiers sensed Cassandra's approach and turned to face her. However, they also identified a much more dangerous threat.

"Missile wall!" Someone shouted among the Valian formation, soldiers raising their shields to protect themselves from the spirit bombardment. But no mortal protection could resist the power of a [Demigod]. The projectiles rained death and destruction upon hitting the ground, rusting the steel and vaporizing the flesh. Soldiers died all around Cassandra, who had to dive down head-first into the grass to survive.

The friendly fire weakened the Valian formation and the shadow of Ultor became visible through the dust cloud. But no sooner did the bombardment calm down that Romulus came roaring after Cassandra.

Gone was the skillful warrior with whom she traded blows. Romulus ran on two legs and one arm, his cloak of tattered souls trailing behind him.. His mask had fallen, revealing the terrible face underneath.
