~Valeria~ When we got back to the altar, Caius had already figured out most of the array. The symbols carved into the stone were glowing crazy bright like, I'm talking glow-stick-at-a-rave bright and the air had that weird electric feeling you get right before a thunderstorm. Carson was absolutely destroying Cassian's guards. His sword was moving so fast I couldn't even track it. Every time he swung, someone went flying. I would give him a new nickname, My Superman but not today. I really needed long sessions of therapy after all this was over. "Valeria, hurry! Put your badge in the center!" Caius yelled over all the screaming and metal-on-metal sounds. I started jogging toward the altar's center, but Alerion came out of nowhere and threw this heavy black cloak around my shoulders.
