QUINN Just when I thought our time had come and death was inevitable, Valeria pulled off one of her miracles. Celine had told me about it, but seeing it with my own eyes was something else entirely. She looked like an angel of death with black wings. I ran toward Celine to help her; she was injured on the ground, and I lifted her in my arms. I'm going to help Valeria! Wait, Quinn! Look, I think we'd only get in her way! She said, and I turned my gaze back to the battle, my jaw dropping as I watched in stunned silence. A massive and awe-inspiring flock of crows began circling above Valeria and the specters. She moved with incredible speed, dodging their attacks and blending with the shadows themselves. I could barely follow her movements. She appeared on the right, then on the left.
