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.

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

Wilbur looked at Syd quietly, saying nothing.

Syd's expression was contorted into one of agony. "I know Master Penn has saved the clan and forged a path of glory for the Gardners that we have never had before."

"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.
