Consequences

Cassadrei's POV

"Magnus is missing!" Victoria exclaimed. 

What? Where did he go? I could feel an unknown dread creeping into my mind as I heard Victoria frantically describing what she saw when she went to deliver breakfast. Maland listened quietly, his face was pulled into a grimace the more he listened to Victoria speak. My mother, on the other hand, bore an inexplicable reaction….there was something that she wasn't telling me. 

I didn't want to think about it, but I had to. The inevitable has happened, Magnus has finally escaped his captivity! I shuddered to think what that implies. Is he waiting for us somewhere, hidden on this island? Is he waiting for an opportunity to launch an attack?

"Are you sure he's not there?" Maland frowned, "This is impossible! He can't have escaped….that place won't allow him to use any magic! Maybe, he's lurking there somewhere, maybe you haven't checked properly. Let me go and see."
