Inside the Keep, the air grew thick and purple. Morrigan's voice whispered from the stones, manifesting the soldiers' worst fears. Men began to scream, turning their blades on their own shadows.
Soren froze as he saw a vision of Mika back in the cage, his eyes dull and lifeless. The Alpha's rage began to cloud his judgment.
Soren! Look at me! Mika's voice exploded in his mind through the Blood-Bond. It wasn't a whisper; it was a command. Soren blinked, the illusion shattering like glass. He turned to see Mika standing right behind him, his hand glowing. Their mental connection had become a weapon that even a Seer could not break.
