Kai's eyes bear witness to the catastrophic spectacle that changed the shape of the entire sky.
He needed to stay calm so as not to blow his cover, that he was actually a sibling, however that worked in the House of Night since they weren't blood-related. But in the face of the entire night sky churning by her will. In the face of power beyond what Kai thought was possible.
It was hard to remain calm.
Hard to keep his act.
High above, the sky collapsed into a spiraling mass of shadow that stretched for miles.
All of it drawn toward a single, brilliant star at its center. The light burned unnaturally bright, like an eye staring down at the world. And beneath it stood the woman. She was looking down at Kai like he was an ant.
She didn't make elaborate moves or gestures.
Just stood there, and everything in the area answered to her presence.
