"Master."
"Master, time to wake up."
"Mmn..." Slowly, I shook my head and rose from the table, blinking a few times. Lorelei, in her human form, stood beside me, gently rocking me awake.
"Where are the others...?" I asked lazily.
"Yami was here, feeding on your dreams like I was, until he sensed you nearly waking up. Not wanting to be caught living off you, he went downstairs. The other two humans are downstairs as well, master."
"I see..." I sighed and stood up from the chair, then headed into the bathroom to splash my face with some water. Then, after changing into the Yharnav armor set I obtained from the auction, my eyes - the only visible part of my face thanks to the mask and hat - narrowed.
"Now then... it's time for some carnage."

"Yep," Ling Xin replied. "Lorelei is here as well."
Yes the chapter title may or may not have been a reference to Venom: Let There be Carnage. (Great movie btw.)
