Dialogue Kahn: "I vowed never to return to these rotten Isles, but my Shaman heritage has compelled me."

You "I have the thirty-ninth chapter."

Kahn: "The sun felt brighter than ever on his strained eyes, which he no longer trusted, for they flickered dangerously between the eras now, blurring them, confusing him. His head throbbed. Ardent cheered. For him, or because the other young woman, the sister, had just fallen to the ground? The noise was the same, but the faces were different. Leo blinked, but it didn't help."

Kahn: "His mind was shuffling too fast now between the past and the present. Had Ardent killed Samuel? No, Ardent had killed the twin sisters. He had held the hand of the fallen sister as she lay dying. Hadn't he? Such a rush of warmth and peace Leo had felt when she had squeezed his hand in return. Or had that been his daughter's hand, which he'd held so tenderly in his own, just after she had been born?"

You "[Continue.]"

Kahn: "And now Leo felt his unsteady mind crumbling apart, like the earth that day, as grief for his daughter, dark and crushing, rose up and threatened to consume him entirely. His daughter was gone. Taken by villains in black masks. He had not protected her. Just like his wife."

You "[Continue.]"

Kahn: "And soon all of his people would be dead or enslaved, because Leo would likewise be unable to protect them from the insidious army whose numbers continued to swell in secrecy, and who would be the ruin of them all. Ardent would be destroyed by the Black Thrush. And Leo would not be able to prevent it, for he was just a broken old man now with nothing left but memories and madness, capable only of sitting alone in dark rooms, muttering uselessly to himself."

You "[Continue.]"

Kahn: "Leo realized suddenly that the cheering in the valley had stopped. An eerie silence pervaded. They know, he thought. His poorly worn disguise must have slipped, and now Ardent was seeing him for what he really was, a helpless shell of a king. Peering out now at the present, Leo saw a valley full of troubled faces. But their eyes were not on him. There was an ominous energy in the air. People shifted nervously, and cast wary glances up and all around them. Dread rose in Leo. Something was happening here. Something awful."

You "[Continue.]"

Kahn: "He heard a scream, terrified and piercing, echo out from the valley, and then another. More uncertain cries of terror followed. His footmen scrambled around him to protect Leo from what could only be the Black Thrush. Leo saw his sister, usually so composed and strong, now with a look of sheer panic on her face as she moved quickly to his side, and, like so many of the people in the valley, looked up. Leo followed her gaze, and wanted to scream, too. For the Shadow Years were upon them again, when Mallok, with foul magic, had plucked the sun from the sky and had turned day into endless night."

You "[Continue.]"

Kahn: "Only moments before, the brightness of the midday sun had pounded upon Leo's eyes, but now the light was gone. Instead there was a murky darkness closing in on them all, enveloping the world with blackness. Leo could no longer see the faces of the crowd in the valley. He could not see his people, could only feel their terror and panic as night swallowed Ardent." You "[Continue.]"

Kahn: "Leo gazed up again at the menacing sky. It reminded him of a sea of dark glass, translucent and black, vast and smooth. Endless. And when he squinted hard enough, Leo could just make out the faint remnant of the sun, so small and obscure amidst the unending darkness. It seemed to sit upon the sea of black glass like a tiny red ring."

You "Can I help you find another chapter?"

Kahn: "The next chapter is the thirty-ninth chapter, which contains 7 pages. Find the pages, assemble the chapter, then return it to me.
