The crack screamed —a sound that was less noise and more a forgetting of silence. The other monks dropped their quills. The candles flickered once, then turned to cold, gray ash.
Legend 1 stirred. Legend 5 opened one eye. Legend 12’s headless horse pawed the ground in a forgotten grave.
And with a flick of its wrist, it touched the star-sword at Aldric’s hip. The blade didn’t shatter. It simply… relaxed. The star-metal fell as dust to the ground. The sword was no longer a sword. It was a pile of pretty gravel.
