Maya and Cassian were returning to the palace when the carriage suddenly stopped. Cassian got out of the carriage to see why they had stopped and said to Maya. "Stay in the carriage, I'll be right back." Maya ignored him and got out of the carriage. "I'm not staying in the carriage, I'm going with you." "Alright, but stay behind me." Maya laughed and said to him. "I think it would be better if you stayed behind me." They both went to the front where the coachman was, standing and blocking the carriage's path were two hooded men. Cassian immediately drew his sword and asked. "Who are you? What do you want?" Both men removed their hoods; it was Ethan and another man whom Cassian did not recognize, but he did know that this man was an elf like Ethan because of the color of his eyes.
