254 Reveal What Was Hidden

"Show yourself," Vy shouted into the darkness before her. 

She could see a strong arm covering Lycster's mouth. The person did not come out of the shadow. But Vy was relieved that the arm belonged to a living creature. At least it looked like it. 

"Are you here for the scepter?" a voice shot out from the darkness. 

The voice was rough and guttural, a male voice. 

"No, and let go of my brother," Vy said in a cold tone of voice. 

The man did not loosen his grip on Lycster. 

"If you're not here for the scepter, then why are you here?" another voice asked from the darkness. 

Though she knew they would not believe her, she told them the truth. 

"We were trying to get away from an approaching sandstorm. So we decided to take shelter here."

"Lies," the man with the rough voice spoke.
