"Get them!" someone roared from nowhere and they were immediately besieged. Ignoring the coming crowd, Ed turned to Nti Anem and frowned.

"You know that old man, don't you?" he asked.

"No, I do not." Nti Anem quickly denied, then flicked his wrist as he whispered a spell. A barrier formed in between himself and the incoming people, then he did the same on Ed's stairs.

"He knows you." Ed said, completely ignoring the carnage Ku Jian was making on her stairs.

"No, I do not. We must only keep our end of the bargain and kill people" Nti Anem could feel the dangerous air around Ed and hurriedly denied, "I have only heard he was a vengeful old man. He lost his land and is taking it out on everybody."

"Apteil, you dare?" the voice came again. This time, he sounded wronged.

"Clear the way." Ed ordered and those on the other side of the barrier, Nti Anem and Baskii went silent. No one was quite sure who Ed was speaking to.
