When the last drop of blood disappeared, the red moon in the hands of the statue at the center of the room suddenly began to shine intensely. The glow was so bright and powerful that it pierced the roof of the room, projecting a crimson beam into the night sky.

A deathly silence settled in the secret chamber and the devastated hall. Only a few fragments of stone, bearing traces of the strange red glow, remained as evidence of the bizarre phenomenon that had just occurred.
