(Amaia)
I stare at the empty cell, misery splitting my heart open. The flickering light from the candle Kacir holds reveals nothing to me.
I know he is there; my magic can sense him, yet I can't see him.
It's then that we are interrupted by Alnitak. Strangely I can't scent Alnitak, maybe it's the foul smell of this place.
Not wanting him to discover anything or ask too many questions, I decide to leave. He remains on my tail, speaking to Kacir. My annoyance and angst mingle, putting me on edge. I can't stop Rigel's screams from echoing in my brain.
As we emerge from the dungeon and go past the unconscious sentinels, I turn to face him and ask.
"Why are you even here Alnitak? Didn't you make it clear you didn't want to talk to me? Or are you here because somehow you feel pity for me?"
Surprise flashes in his eyes and he turns towards Kacir.
"Can you give us a moment?"
Instead of answering him Kacir turns his attention towards me while side-passing the sentinels.
