Sylran
As he flew, Sylranâs head was so clouded with rage that he almost flew straight past Vazralonâs den.
He corrected his course at the last moment, and had barely straightened from his rough landing when he started hammering on the door, putting an extra pulse of raw magical power behind his fist as he did, just to make sure Vazralon got the message. His door probably didnât deserve the abuse, but it felt good to let some of that restless power out.
Vazralon took his time answering, perhaps hoping that Sylran would get bored and go away. Not likely, Sylran thought. Itâs his problem too now. But eventually the door opened to reveal Vazralon, his brows furrowed in irritation. There were dark circles under his eyes that hadnât been there before, Sylran noticed. âWhat do you want, Sylran?â
âLet me in. We have something to discuss.â His voice sounded a lot calmer than he felt.
Vazralon raised a thin eyebrow, his blue eyes flicking up and down, taking in Sylranâs frantic state. âDo we?â
âOh, yes,â Sylran replied, putting his foot on the threshold so Vazralon couldnât let the door seal in his face, as he seemed to be considering. âItâs important and Iâm not leaving until we talk, so either you let me in now or you can tell anyone who asks why Iâve set up camp outside your den like a jilted lover.â
For a moment Sylran thought the other Vrin was actually going to shut him out, but then Vazralon gave a deep sigh and stepped aside, dipping his wing in a reluctant invitation. âMake it quick.â
Sylran didnât wait for the door to close behind him before he turned on Vazralon. He kept his fists clenched at his sides, sure that if he didnât keep a tight hold over himself, he would surely do or say something he would regret. Panic was clawing at his throat, and he didnât know how to fight it back. He was not used to feeling like this. âYou were wrong about the Faith not being able to scry. In fact, they have something much more powerful than your magic. They found Briar, somehow. Whatever magic they were using was powerful enough to take control of her body. They just took over her mind, made her black out. Iâve never seen anything like that.â
âAnd sheâs certain this is what happened?â Vazralon said. With each word Sylran spoke, his frown had deepened. âShe didnât have some kind of medical episode?â
âShe says she saw them looking for her. I believe her.â
Vazralon sighed, running his hands through his long hair. âNormally, I would not,â he said, ignoring the pair of fissure rats that wove between his ankles, lithe bodies shining with glossy fur. âBut since this has happened before, and we are dealing with someone who is a descendant of the Lightbringerâ¦â He shuddered, and though he seemed to try to repress the movement, Sylran caught it and felt a twinge of sympathy for the old bastard.
