I will restore your school and your possessions. I will heal all injuries within my power, though that unfortunately does not include any caused by my brother's trident. His magic is stubborn."
"Traitor? Me? You must be mistaken. I love you, sister!" Aornos cried out. He knew that his sister would be much more reasonable back in their ancestral lake. But he gave one last look and swam away with his followers trailing him.
