Kane crouched in a hidden alcove on the second floor of the mayor’s estate. Through his shifted illusion, he ran with Jala down into the root cellar. He watched her reunite with her guard, Dallin Storm, but his eyes were already scanning the rest of the faces. With relief, he found Haiden and Gregor and Elon. Cora the cook was there, looking very angry. He searched for Izzy or Alia, but neither was in the room. Demon’s breath! The watershifters were not there either. If they had been, they would have been very ill from being out of the water for so long.

He listened in to Dallin explain to Jala about the Ellvinians taking the shifters from the cellar. What did they want with the shifters? It would make more sense to keep the most dangerous individuals locked up in the cellar not the other way around.

“Prince!”

Haiden walked over to him and knelt. Kane wanted to reach out to him and tell the Saber that there was no reason to apologize. He wanted to assure his protector that he was not at fault for their separation, but Kane could not tell him any of those things. It was just an illusion that the people in the cellar were looking at.

“Prince, you must forgive me.” Haiden reached out to grab Kane’s arm and the contact destroyed his shifted image. The sudden release from his magic caused Kane to fall back against the wall where he was crouched.

He rubbed his eyes with the heels of his hands. He knew they were glowing fiercely right now. It would take a few moments for them to resume their normal—if you could ever call his eyes normal—golden color.

Now, more than ever, he realized the immediate danger the island was in. If the Ellvinians were successful in occupying Northfort, it would give them a strategic advantage in challenging the royal seats of Bardot and Nysa next.

With Kirby and Kellan completely enthralled by the Ellvinians, Jala now confined to the cellars, and Izzy still missing, it was up to him to figure out a way to stop them.

Then, he swallowed as a sudden realization occurred to him. Since becoming caught up in the tightening tentacles of subterfuge from the Ellvinians here in Northfort, he neglected to remember an important detail. His parents had already sailed directly into their sinister jaws.
