Malakai's expression darkened as he gazed at the dark pillars of light raging above the main area of the fortress.
The chill reached him instantly. There was no way he could mistake it.
'A darkness creature…'
But from the intensity of the chill, Malakai had no doubts, it was a strong one.
'Above grade Two.'
There was just no way a grade two could cause such a calamity. Still, this brought Malakai to the main question: who would kill someone that close to where the Sovereign resided?
"Ninth vein."
Malakai's gaze snapped to the side. 'Nyx.'
She had vanished the moment the explosion rang out, and now stood before him, bowing low.
"What is happening?" Malakai asked.
Nyx straightened slightly. "I've checked the perimeter. There are no threats around."
Her words snapped him out of his reverie. He had been so focused on uncovering the cause of the blast, he had forgotten to consider their immediate safety. He gave a nod.
