Chapter 51 The Pale Rider

• Gabriel
• A deathly silence falls over everyone when Ryker speaks and even I am left stunned. He did what we all said we would do… he just killed the entire fucking council except for the Vasiles.
• Axel has Kazimir pinned to the ground with his hand around his neck, both staring at Ryker when Kazimir jumps up and takes a careful step back. He looks at his dead comrades, all of them desiccated and eyes glazed over.
