It felt like the sky itself had shattered.
A force so immense, so overwhelming, surged through the battlefield that I could hear it, a deafening, distorted echo that rang in my bones.
My vision blurred for a split second as a pressure I didn't recognize pressed against my entire being.
My knees almost buckled, my breath caught in my throat, and it took everything in me not to collapse right then and there.

But I already knew what was happening.
Someone was breaking through.
And then, just like that, the invisible weight bearing down on us snapped apart like glass.
A figure emerged from the chaos, stepping forward with slow, deliberate movements.
His dark hair was tousled, his breathing heavy, but his eyes, those piercing, unwavering eyes, were sharp as ever.
Edward.
