"Dream a golden dragon..." The whisper faded and was gone.

"Shields down," I told my security chief, and heard the almost subliminal whisper of the power generators fade.

The whisper faded and was gone, and the black threads on the Stone had swelled still further.

Taunting whispers of reflected mirth faded in the silent room.

All at once the hands stopped molding, the eyes disappeared, and the whispers faded.

And my whisper faded away as I ebbed down into the little death.

The princess's strangled whisper faded away to nothing.
