Prince Algis' body lay in the middle of the main hall. His entire body was enveloped in a black aura. Cyril ran over to see if Prince Algis was still alive. He was truly grateful when he saw that Prince Algis was still breathing.
Smoke had begun to fill the palace ceiling. "Is there anyone else inside? Anyone!" shouted Cyril. But not a sound could be heard, except for the flames that were beginning to consume the furniture. Cyril decided that perhaps the servants had fled to the back. Although there was another bad thought that came to him.
Cyril tried to wake Prince Algis but to no avail. So he had no choice but to carry the man out of the palace.
"I expected you to come! But not so soon!"
