Kael approached with silence. He didn't wield any weapons. Only faith. In himself. In his friends. In the gem itself.

But there was one big difference when it came down to the soul.
Kael had more freedom.
Their final clash ripped the realm wide open.
The Shattered Veil exploded outward, flooding the space with impossible colors. Hues that Kael had never before laid eyes on.
