collapsed, gulping and spluttering. “Hey, are you all right?” Evan managed to look up, it appeared a group of Apprentices, (the source of the loud laughter,) had appeared at the other end of the passageway and scared the strangler off. Evan lurched to his feet without speaking to the group, running down the corridor in the direction his assailant had fled. When he reached the fourth-floor atrium however, it was empty. * “Neither of you saw anything?” Tarensen demanded of Padrake and Xavier. “I told you, I went up to the fifth floor to scrub Greg the gargoyle clean, seconds after I saw Evan,” a wide-eyed Xavier replied. Evan had done the only thing he could and told Tarensen what had happened. He must be in shock, it had happened so fast, it didn’t feel real. “I only went to the balcony outside my quarters for a quick smoke,” Padrake said meekly. “I saw no sign of this hooded figure Umbra describes.” Tarensen's face twisted in fury. “Right under our noses. And you say it wasn't a demon this time, Evander? It was one of our own people?” Evan nodded. It couldn’t have been a demon. He’d seen two human hands beneath the robe. He felt like he was having heart palpitations. It was bad enough demons were hunting him, now he couldn't trust the Masters or even the other Venators. “Now, let’s not be hasty,” Padrake stammered, “just because Umbra was attacked in the castle doesn't mean a Realmer was the attacker. Someone must've got into the city and travelled here afterwards. If Umbra is correct and his attacker was human, it must've been a Rakarn.” “Rakarn?” Evan asked. “The official term for a Dark-Realmer,” said Padrake. “In demonic language it translates to child, named so by Akirandon as she considers them her children.” “Whether it was a Rakarn masquerading as one of us, or a traitor, I will find him,” Tarensen snapped. “Umbra, did you see your attacker's face at all?” “No, nothing. Their face was covered. Their hands were pale, but that's all I know.” Tarensen cursed. “Padrake, tell the Masters to question every Venator. Find out if anyone saw someone wearing hooded white robes tonight. I will station orc guards from the city throughout the Fortress and place two outside your door. We will root out this attacker, I promise you.” BANG!
