"Over this noise?" The explosive sounds and the occasional trembling of the castle walls are enough to drown out my voice.
"Come on we don't have time, we have to leave now." He helps me out from under the food table.
We begin to walk towards the destroyed entrance.
"Wait, where's Arcotos?" I whisper hoping he'd hear me clearly and ignore the fear in my voice.
"He's right behind you." I turn around, and I am beyond relieved that he's OK.
"What about my family?"
We reach the entrance, and he slowly pokes his head out to look both ways most likely checking if anyone who would want to harm us is in the passageway.
Only then do I notice something very foreign in his hand.
