Lucius went over to Alistair to get his weapon back. He gave Alistair a sad look. [b]"Look bro, I just wanted something else. I didn't want to deal with all of that... Stuff that Dad does. It just wasn't something I was willing to do. I got out as soon as I could, and it isn't too late for you either. I know some... People. They got me out from dad's hair, I'm sure I can get them to help you too. If you're willing, just find me later, alright?"[/b] Lucius's Morning Star vanished as soon as it was back in his hand. Lucius turned and to find their next teacher, Lachesis.
