Chapter 26: The Rescue Attempt

"But how are we going to rescue her?" Kadin asked. His thoughts were spinning in anxious circles as he paced near the stone wall.

"I don't know," Alvin said. "It will take some time to make plans."

"What if Tyrine doesn't have that long?" Kadin asked. His pacing had become more frenetic than ever. He couldn't lose Tyrine, not after everything he'd been through. She was the only part of his old life he cared about anymore, and if he lost her, he felt as if he would lose part of the person he was. As much as he'd hated his life back then, it still mattered to him.

She still mattered to him.

Alvin stroked his clean-shaven chin. "Teravin won't kill her unless we force his hand. For the moment, she is safe, and I think she'll be treated well enough. Teravin is not the kind of man who is cruel for the sake of being cruel. He uses cruelty as a tool to get what he wants. As long as you don't give him a reason to harm her, she will be fine."

Kadin felt as if a heavy weight had settled over him. "I wish I could feel so sure."

"Relax," Alvin said. "I can handle this."

"But what about what I have to do for Teravin?" Kadin asked. "If I don't bring him some information to make you look guilty of something, then he'll kill her."

Alvin's confident mask faltered. "I'll have to think of something."

"Well, do it quickly," Kadin said.

Deril put a hand on Kadin's shoulder. "We're doing everything we can."

"It's not enough! She's going to die. I know it."

"I won't let that happen," Alvin said. "Just give me some time to come up with a plan. Teravin won't expect you to have information immediately. He may have many faults, but he is a patient man. He will take however much time he needs."

"How can you all be so calm about this?" Kadin demanded, turning his angry gaze from one person to the next. "My sister is going to die, and you're sitting here and telling me you'll come up with a solution. But I haven't heard anything that sounds like a solution."

"Good plans take time," Deril said, squeezing Kadin's shoulder gently.

"We don't have time!"

"Yes, we do," Alvin said. "Not as much as we might like, but we do have some time."

"You're not helping," Kadin said. He pulled free from Deril and stomped out of the room. If they weren't going to do anything to save his sister, then he'd have to take matters into his own hands. He was a Sunlord, and a very powerful Sunweaver. Surely he could find a way to free her.

They called out for him to come back, but he ignored them. He returned to his chambers, where he gazed out the window as the sun set. No matter how much he thought about the problem, he couldn't come up with a good solution. Maybe he'd been too harsh toward Alvin and the others, but they didn't understand.
