The Beating Heart

The Beating Heart is the seventy-second chapter of Tales of Sheol'gotha:  Shadow of the Abaddon.

Synopsis
Having arrived at the temple, Valon and his followers move through the ethereal Penitents and enter the building. They are welcomed by bodies that litter the ground, showing signs of a slaughter. As the group pushes on they are stopped as Haebin detects a trap, and he takes the cube Coagion had possessed, revealing he'd had Soltas steal it from his brother's pack.

After removing the obstruction the group continues on until they find a large, barred door. Kareshh and Haebin search around for a way in and Haebin locates a stone which slides aside to reveal an entrance. They enter the spellchamber, seeing the stone depiction of the heart of magic and hearing a drumlike beat.

Beneath them, gathered around a central body, they see Kaltrin and his siblings, as well as two figures they do not recognize. Soltas does, however, and alerts them. Valon seems to draw a link between them, taking Haebin's advice of a surprise attack and readies everyone. They move to attack, but the two unknown figures are absent, and a moment later leap up to the balconies to join them.
