Alex nodded, and turned back to watch the exchange between Illyad and Nyaira.

"You forget, my dear, that even that brother of mine has his limits. You only found me this time because our magic is connected. If I were to sever that connection, even he wouldn't be able to find me." Illyad mused for a moment. "Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but if my oh-so-powerful brother were to lose track of myself and my lovely companions here, I believe that may put a bit of a spanner in the works of your plan." He chuckled. "I advise you stay away from this place, Nyaira. You do not want to test my patience, or my power."
