The night was silent and cold, and a chilling breeze suddenly swept across Jonah's face.

Judas.

That was aname he had not heard in ages.

It echoed from a bloody, misty place far away, igniting a storm of turmoil in his chest.

The voice that carried it felt vaguely familiar, but he couldn't place it immediately.

A wave of dread washed over him as he feared the worst had happened.
