As Maya advanced toward Garvin and Louise, the chosen members knew they had to act quickly, or they would all face certain death.
Larry, Ethan, Hunter, and Ryder continued their desperate battle, but they were hopelessly outnumbered. The undead creatures kept coming, their numbers seemingly endless, as they devoured humans and turned them into more of their kind. The horde surged forward relentlessly, a tide of death that threatened to overwhelm everything in its path.
Just when hope seemed lost and Maya was within inches of grabbing Garvin, her gaping mouth poised to swallow him whole, Ethan felt a surge of determination ignite within him. Focusing all his energy on the earth, he allowed the familiar rush of power to course through his veins. The ground beneath his feet began to tremble, and the vibration grew stronger as the other chosen members joined him, channeling their powers into the earth.
