498 The assassin

On seeing Harry draw his two Blades, Kyle's natural reaction was to draw his single black raven as well.  While Harry was calm, Kyle's hand was shaking about nervously. Not because he was scared of fighting, but because he was unsure if Harry was truly under the shadow's influence.

"Should we do something?" Flynn asked. Worried for his old black sash master. They were on the same side and he couldn't understand why the sudden need to draw weapons.

"Harry, please forgive Kyle, I believe he only said those things because he wanted to cheer us up," Wendy said.

With a single glance from him, all four of the kids stepped back. It felt like if they even tried to help Kyle then he would go to attack them. Immediately, Dale stood in front of Claire ready to protect her. He held his hand in front of his face, and his eyes started to shift and change.
