Examining the darkbeast's skull from afar did not yield much information to Farren; the skull appeared completely inert and exhibited no kind of electric energy or lingering spark of life. It was also too far away – even relatively close to them as it was at just forty meters or so – and somewhat in darkness, so seeing any kind of fine detail was out of the question.

Its other half... it is here... it is here... it is coming. It is [/I]so very close[I]. Wielder, its other half is so close. It wants to be whole again. It is close... it is here... it is close. It is coming![/I]”
