"I know," Liam interrupted, his voice clipped. "That's the problem."
Lucian clenched his fists, the gauntlet rings on his fingers faintly glowing. "How do we deal with something like that in our state?"

"You're right," Lucian muttered, his expression thoughtful. "Besides, our actions might be considered selfish and reckless by the academy."
"Probably," Liam agreed. "We need to wake the others."
