On the third night, Rose found it.
Varkath lay coiled in a collapsed chapel, its obsidian hide cracked like cooling lava. Where its heart should be, there was a hollow socket—empty, weeping a thin black smoke. It spoke without a mouth, in a voice like grinding millstones:
“Remembrancer. You carry petals of the dead. Do you carry one of hers?” eng rose and the demon beast v250122 rj0 upd
