I followed Guildmaster Ren back to the city center, glancing back occasionally to make sure the others really had escaped, hoping they wouldn't do something stupid before I figured a way out. The door was not there by accident which made me question Guildmaster's allegiance to Edius. Maybe the ties weren't as strong as Edius thought they were. He couldn't possibly manage to keep tabs on everyone.
I wasn't quite sure why I couldn't pass through the door, possibly because my soul had been sucked from my body, or it could have been a special hex he'd put on me and not the others. Like Cassandra, Guildmaster's betrayal had eaten away at my core. We'd trusted the man with our lives. He'd helped hone our powers and, finally, he'd become a father figure to me. But we couldn't let him walk away
