[A/N: Webnovel messed up the order, read "End Of The Second Act [1]" First. Thank You :)]
As I crept back into the academy, the place had turned into a nightmare—a fitting stage for the chaos I'd planned.
Screams and the sound of shattering glass echoed through the halls as dark creatures and spectral spirits rampaged through, summoned as the twisted result of the Second Act's unraveling.
Shadows crept along the walls, and whispers slithered in the air, each sound adding another layer to the terror gripping the academy.
It was in this bedlam that I had the perfect cover for what I needed to do.
I'd arranged for a letter to be delivered to Rylan Voss, luring him to the Hall of the Sacred Ashes.
It wasn't difficult to know what strings to pull with Rylan—honor and duty had always been his fatal flaw, his Achilles' heel.
