He still had so many questions, so many things he needed to know. But now, those answers were gone, lost forever with the collapse of the world.

"When the shadows stretch longer than the sky itself, follow the path to the frozen horizon."

Nate exhaled sharply, running a hand through his hair as he muttered under his breath, "What the hell does that even mean?" His fingers brushed against his temple, still aching from whatever had been forced into his mind.
