Malakai asked her what she meant,and then she began to explain.
Arachne's expression turned grave, her voice laced with concern. "There is another, Malakai, one who seeks to claim Lyra's power for himself. His name is Kael, a dark sorcerer from a rival clan."
Malakai's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with the implications. "What does he want with Lyra?" he asked, his voice low and menacing.
