At this moment, a gray ball of light slowly rose from behind Max. It contained a strange energy, one that did not seem to come from this world.
In the next moment, the grayish-black ball of light, which was originally the size of a dragon's eye, suddenly spread and expanded throughout the world.

Time itself seemed to have stopped, and everything else had become stock still.
Catherine and Max had formed the center of this new space.
'Damn it!'
'I failed!'
Catherine cursed aloud within her heart.
The longer she observed the grayish-black space that stretched in all directions, the more Catherine sunk into despair.
