Or were you hoping the secrets you sought would shield you from retribution?" His tone was calm, almost conversational, but his words carried an undeniable threat.

The faint outline of enchanted sigils glimmered on the hem of his cloak as he folded his arms, waiting. "You’ve seen enough to know leaving here won’t be simple. Speak quickly—why should I let you live long enough to explain yourself?"
