The Fifth Wave

HUMMMMMM

Without warning, the giant glowing crystal started to descend from the darkness above. It threw dazzling light around the dark battlefield as it descending slowly downwards, eventually hitting the ground with a resounding thud.

Everyone stared at it quizzically.

The crystal embedded in the ground was far larger than it had seemed up in the air – about twenty people would need to link hands to surround it once. The translucent white walls pulsed gently with light.

The light and warmth it gave off were two things that were incredibly inviting to all the monsters in the mausoleum.

The crowd buzzed.

"What does this mean?"

"Wasn't the crystal up in the sky because it was some sort of a lure for the monsters?"

"That means it is bad that it came down, now, right?"
