The sword made a sharp whisper as it was unsheathed. Yumi and the rest turned to Syd in shock and horror.

"What are you doing? Are you out of your mind?" Yumi screamed.

Fern and Mist jumped to their feet at once, drawing their swords at Syd as well.

"Put down your sword right now! How dare you disrespect Master Penn like this? You're making yourself an enemy of the clan!" Mist roared.

Yumi was stunned. Fern and Mist's expressions grew solemn as well.
