Damien looked back at the massive sphere rising steadily into the sky and whispered, "Yes….looks like she finally found the answers she was searching for."

Their crimson eyes widened, breath catching in their throats, and they thought if they had imagined it and for a suspended second, nothing moved.
Then
Ba-dump.
Another heartbeat, louder this time, echoes in their ears, sharp ears. Cece's lips parted in a trembling gasp as hope bloomed in her chest again.
