I could already hear the groans of agony from Lorcan between the mighty roars of Typhon that had the palace stairs vibrating as I charged up them to his floor. A number of guards were standing outside his door looking extremely nervous as they shuffled on their feet, not knowing what to do. Two guards stepped in front of the door to block my entrance with their heads bowed in respect.

“I can help him!”
My father was already grabbing my hand and leading me away from the door, but I dug my heels into the floorboards and ripped my hand from his.
