"Colleen, we must do something!" I begged my older sister as Father beat Rand. I could hear bones breaking now. Yes, our brother had challenged him, but it was to save us all. Why couldn't Father have listened?
"We cannot. Rand must win this for himself," Colleen replied, tears thick in her voice.
"A pox on that," I snarled and leap at Father just as he picked up Rand--oh sweet Maeve, he was like a strawman now. Too late, I saw Father throw Rand into the Shadow Roads. He would be lost, as badly beaten as he was. Furious, I slashed at Father's face, scratching him badly, before he grabbed my throat and roared into my face. His blows felt like thunder and, thank merciful Oberon, I quickly lost conscience.
Open roads, sister... I thought before the pain and blackness claimed me.
