The Nameless was screaming , dissolving as a form from under the flood of light , and for just one moment I felt a fickle surge of triumph … until the backlash did indeed hit me .

Energy surges back toward me , sheer force overwhelming … The scream is ripped from my lungs , a pendant shattered against my chest as the last of the Moon Goddess power leaves me .

Pain racks my body , but its the emptiness that really terrifies me .
