Kronos - Scythe Severs Souls

A blast of cold air hit me as I emerged. I was standing near the top of Mount Tam. The Pacific Ocean spread out below, grey under a cloudy sky. About six metres downhill, two telekhines were placing something on a big rock – something long and thin and wrapped in black cloth. Ethan was helping them open it.
‘Careful, fool,’ the telekhine scolded. ‘One touch, and the blade will sever your soul from your body.’
Ethan swallowed nervously. ‘Maybe I’ll let you unwrap it, then.’
