Kade was the first to reach her. He threw himself off the horse and raced by foot towards her. He could barely speak. His eyes shook, his pupils dilated. He dropped to his knees, shakily touching her face. She was limp. She was cold.

Even Atlan faltered back, his ears bleeding from the frightening sound. Everyone watched in horror. They were terrified of the insidious sound, like a wounded beast.
