Fern said in a deep voice, "Put the sword down, Syd, or I'll kill you before anyone else does."

"Then why are you still doing this?" Yumi shouted, enraged.

Syd held his sword with both hands, staring straight at Wilbur. "But I cannot let a non-Gardner control the family. I cannot let the man who murdered our previous clan leader, Yaron, and Cyrus, lead our family."

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