The invisible flame illuminated the killer's face and, for the first time, Jacob saw his
eyes.
Human eyes.
But empty.
"You don't understand what you're causing," Jacob said. "Opening the fifth seal will
unleash something no one can control."
"It is already unleashed," the man replied. "I am not its master… I am its bridge."
The ground trembled.
The air grew even colder.
A dark current began to emerge from the consumed parchment, wrapping around the
temple's columns.
Sara screamed:
"Jacob, get back!"
But Jacob stepped forward.
"Tell me your name. I can't stop you if I don't know who you are."
The killer slowly lowered his hood.
The revelation struck like a blow to the chest.
Sara covered her mouth.
Robert stepped back.
Jacob felt the world split in two.
"You…" he murmured, unable to breathe. "No… it can't be…"
The killer smiled."You should have always known, brother."
The truth fell like lightning.
The bearer…
was David, Jacob's long-lost brother.
