Khan's laughter came from above. "I told you what would happen, Gwenu. But you insisted on fighting him."
"You fight him, then!"
"Absolutely not." Khan smiled brightly.
"You three stop goofing around. Master is waiting." Ekear's voice came from a distant place.
Gwenu grunted. She could hardly move right now, and she didn't know if she wanted to.
Khan hopped down and slung her over a shoulder. "Off we—"
He looked back to find that Sylas was already gone. Khan could only shake his head. This littlest disciple brother of theirs was truly an anomaly.
…
"Sylas," Gralith said calmly. "What's your purpose this time?"
Ekear's lip twitched.
Honestly, the dynamic between Sylas and Gralith wasn't one he liked all that much, especially since Sylas refused to call Gralith Master. It was irritating.
However, Ekear found it hard to say anything because it was thanks to Sylas that Gralith was back. All things considered, Sylas had done more for Gralith than every one of them.
