Carrying the spirit's severed arm, Shade silently left Mr. Franco's bedroom and returned home. Welcomed by an overjoyed Little Mia, he gripped the "severed arm" and went up to the third floor. Of course, the Imprisoning Halo remained active throughout; otherwise, the arm would have vanished as well.
His Destiny Ring appeared behind him. Under the glow of True Death, a black iron cemetery gate locked with hinges emerged in the middle of the gas lamp-lit corridor. The metal bars seemed to absorb light, rapidly dimming the hallway after appearing:
"May eternal termination bless me before the end."
The hinges slithered away along the edge of the gate like black snakes. Shade pushed open the gate and entered the white fog with the cat peeking around curiously beside him.
Countless gravestones stood dimly amid the fog. A cross-shaped tombstone was even tilted into the ground beneath his feet. Every tombstone bore mottled marks, yet none had any writing.
The Soul Cemetery possessed the power to repair shattered souls. That was why Shade had brought the severed arm, pressing it against the tall tombstone with a high base of veined white marble at his side.
The arm, confined by the Moonlight Ring, merged rather smoothly into the tombstone. Then several simple lines of writing "seeped" from within the stone onto its surface.
Outlander, because the main body of the soul still exists, you cannot repair a damaged soul using fragments of that soul.
"That doesn't really matter."
Shade looked at the writing on the tombstone:
Maria Fendi (Sixth Epoch 1828–1854)
Miss Norma
I deeply love this land. I shall eventually return to it.
Died of suffocation.
He placed his hand on the final cause of death, and a line of small text appeared beneath it:
Place of death: Old Continent, Dellaireon
