His instincts told him to run, but that opportunity was now gone since he was held in the clutches of Lianth.<span style="font-style: italic">I could shock him . . . no . . . I need to have allies. Injuring others would only make the situation worse.</span>Were his thoughts.<br/><br/>"I didn't touch anything, I swear. Well that is a lie. What I mean is I didn't touch anything strange or at least anything that appeared to be strange. . .I'm not helping my situation am I? Cuno a little help would be appreciated."<br/><br/>Cuno was too busy living in his little dream world to take notice of any of the recent events.<br/><br/>"Yeah, what was I thinking trying to ask you for help." Glaive turned back to face Lianth and Beruna. "Look I feel really bad for what happened. I really do, but let's not let emotions drive our actions. Surely we can talk this out like civilized beings, right?" His situation looked pretty bleak. If it should come to a worse case scenario he was afraid that he would actually need to use force.<br/><br/>It was then that new life seemed to have revived into Manus.<br/>"See! See! He's alive!" Glaive said the words so fast that almost came out as one syllable.
