18. Fearful Whispers

18. Fearful Whispers is a chapter in Soulstice. The Monastery is on the verge of collapse, but Briar's only concern is to hear what else Layton has to say.
==Synopsis==
Briar and Lute find Layton again, and the Observer reveals many other secrets. That he is a spy, an agent of the Triarchy tasked with the mission of infiltrating the Order.
Layton also divulges what he knows of Dugal's secret plan to bring forth the Solstice of Souls. To discover the truth, he had sought Donovan’s help, but the Shadeless disappeared shortly after.
Briar does not trust Layton, but Lute convinces her that they are all on the same side. And that whatever the Solstice of Souls is, they must work together to stop it.
During their search for a way up to the Cathedral, they find yet another Echo and witness the first encounter between the former Chimeras and the runaway Transcended. The sisters also make a puzzling discovery: the two souls of the Transcended belonged to a father and his daughter.
