If you do not return my people to me, compensate us for all the damage you have caused, and leave immediately, I will consider your actions a declaration of war. I have soldiers waiting not far from here and I promise that they greatly outnumber your small band."
"If you seek to start a war, it is one you will lose," Cerant intoned, eyes glowing.
It was the secondthird?time he had done that with no warning. He must have been getting better at it. Angelos would have been proud. Sorin made a note to tell Cerant that later. For the moment, he drew his sword and stepped forward. Brekk did the same, while Koray and Neikirk stepped back.
