“But …!”
“His is ready,” Taweel repeated, gripping Adin’s shoulder. “And I will be with him.”
Adin squirmed under the warrior’s hand. “If you say Tamaes is ready, then he is, but …!”
The mentors exchanged a long look before Valerian asked, “Did you have something to say, apprentice?”
Linking arms with Tamaes, Adin exclaimed, “Shouldn’t twins face their first demon together?”
