I stood at the front gate and waited for the others, looking back at the devastation caused by the creatures Edius sent to cause so much destruction. He'd been right in front of us, but we were still too erratic as a group to battle him as one. I still couldn't figure out his end game. What did he really want? Just to be a bully? I didn't think so.
He had us in his sights and let us go, casting a weak spell at Aurelius, only sending him flailing to the ground. Nothing added up. And then Ashlynn put a seed of doubt in my head. To get at Cassandra. I knew not to trust the woman, but what she said had been too close to the truth. And yeah, there was history between the two of us, history Cassandra knew nothing about. Ashlynn went out of her way in our guild days to separate Cassandra and I.
