"Ah brother, just in time! It's good to see you!" Syrus smiled a mocking smile. His hood was down and his long blue hair was tied in a warrior's knot.
"SYRUS!!!!" Kryor roared. He lunged towards Syrus, changing into his demon form. Syrus moved elegantly out of the way and grabbed Kryor's arm. Kryor's arm was thrusted behind his back. In his pain he manged to speak. "Why are you here?!"
"I think you know the answer to that one. Where's your little girlfriend? Samantha, I think her name was?"
"Her name is Shannon, and you won't lay a finger on her! Not as long as I live!"
Syrus chuckled. "Then you know what I have to do." Syrus let go of Kryor and spun him around. Then, Kryor felt claws stab through him. Everything went dark...

Kryor was walking down a long hallway with a large wooden door at the end. He was dressed in a robe and had a crown on his head. When he got to the end, he stopped. Screams were coming from the other side. He opened the door.
What he saw sent shivers down his spine. There was a girl strapped to a table wearing nothing but a blindfold. She looked about 17. Above her, a goblin was holding a hacksaw. When the goblin noticed Kryor, he knelt down.
"Prince Kryor, I didn't expect you to be here. With all do respect, that is."
"What are you doing to that girl?" Kryor asked. At the sound of his voice, the girl started to plead for help. The goblin slapped her and she fell silent.
"Your father has instructed me to operate on her. She has a power that interests him. She can bring back the dead and heal any wound! She's quite remarkable."
"Let her go."
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me. Let her go. Now!"
