The final motes of light drifted skyward before vanishing entirely.
Amara's soul had passed on.
As Jamie sat in silence, staring at the corpse suspended beyond the sky, he contemplated the final pieces of information its owner had given him before her soul passed on to the underworld.
A Dragon of Death had been trying to take control of her body.
This piece of information resonated with Jamie for two reasons.
First, sometime last year, not long after his time in the danger zone on Anadus Prime, there had been a Space Beast attack on Gnocyl Prime.
He vividly recalled his battle with Irenot which he had used to restore his Cosmic Superiority.
He also recalled that the Space Beast's soul was nowhere to be found after its death. It wasn't in the underworld.
Jamie had suspected that the attack was merely a distraction and had instructed Lapis to investigate the ASB's corpse.
