Destruction of the Sky

Destruction of the Sky is the sixty-first chapter of Tales of Sheol'gotha:  Shadow of the Abaddon.

Synopsis
Valon continues to travel back to Kopyragum with his group, plagued by Coagion's ramblings. He seems to be referring to Adramelech being tied to blood magic, but no one was paying too much attention to him. To deal with the shadow assassins, Valon has taken to riding in Schurr's shadow the entire way.

Coagion mentions that Abaddon is doing a surprisingly good job of ruling, but Valon states that fear is not as motivational as pride and that he'd inspire his soldiers rather than threaten them. Haebin and Coagion go at one another, but their conversation is distracted by a sound of thunder and the distant sight of something descending from the sky ahead. Banners of flesh and long, insect-like appendages reach down and touch down against the ground, and are met with a blinding white light. Maire seems to know what it is and explains it, and Haebin and Coagion argue regarding the best route to take.

Valon eventually decides to go to Kopyragum first and doesn't take arguments. They begin to set off again but not far down the road they are attacked by Kaltrin and his siblings who are running west to east. Valon initially gives chase, but is overwhelmed by Kaltrin's beast form and saved by Ysir and Soltas riding up to meet him. Kaltrin runs off with the other shifters and Valon urges the others to give chase. Unable to travel as fast as the others, however, he soon gives up the idea, and Soltas backtracks to check the road before returning to Valon and producing a piece of cloth.

Valon originally thinks the cloth to be something he brought from the tomb, but he states he got it from the ground. Coagion says it is not his, leading Valon to wonder at the body the shifters took with them from Levyryshj. There is distrust of Adramelech to which Coagion states he would be a better king, though Valon is quick to remind him of their blood pact and the king's place.
