The room fell into a heavy silence.
The weight of Graemory's words settled between them, pressing down like an invisible force in their minds.
There was no exaggeration and definitely no misplaced fear, this was a real deal. The Black Wall, a structure that had always been an enigma was stirring to wake. Something was coming and neither of them knew what it would bring.
Clyde finally broke the silence. "Do the others know about the anomaly?"
Graemory shook her head. "No one except us. And the ones who went with you to fight it."
Her voice was steady, but there was something underneath it — something close to worry. That alone was alarming.
Graemory was not easily shaken and Clyde knew that. She was a Demon Duchess, someone from Hell realm who stood against Celestials and Angels without fear because she always have something hidden in her sleeve. Yet now, she was standing before him with tense and uncertainty feeling.
