Darius wouldn't normally say things against Audrey, just a sliver of respect he had for Gilbert's blood running in her veins. However, by then, Nicholai had already ordered the release of the energy maps that kept everything out. Darius could hear the cries coming from Dylan clearer than earlier… and even the prayers of Sancho for Adrian to wake up.

When Darius skidded on the floor, he could barely remember seeing how Rowan intercepted him all of a sudden. It was as if the man turned into a shadow that dashed toward him. Darius was only lucky that Nicholai caught the hit Rowan launched to strike him down.
