KAYDEN
I stood at the edge of the clearing and my eyes were blazing and my claws were extended and my fangs were bared. The moonlight filtered through the trees and it cast silver shadows across the ground and it illuminated the scene before me. Threx was standing over Korvus with a blade at his throat and Renn was frozen in fear and they both looked like they had seen a ghost. The air was thick with tension and the only sound was the heavy breathing of the three figures in the clearing.
Threx's eyes met mine and I saw the fear flicker across his face. He lowered the blade and he stepped back and he tried to smile but it did not reach his eyes. His scales had lost their color and his hands were shaking and he looked like a man who knew he was about to die.
"Kayden," he said. "I can explain. Please, just let me explain."
