Book Four – Chapter 12
The Battle of Forgotten Words
The sea around the Lighthouse of the Last Page roared.
Towering waves crashed against the crystal cliffs as the Five Editors descended from the crimson sky.
Their robes fluttered without wind.
Their masks revealed nothing.

No joy.
No mercy.

The Lantern of Endings shone brighter, pushing back the crimson mist that surrounded the island.
Luma took a deep breath.
"They're here."

With one swing, a line of fire tore across the sky.

Titles disappeared.
Names faded.
