activating a brilliant blue lumen sword just as Wendell entered the open the door and stepped through.
    Shane used his repel glyph putting all the effort he could into it without using an external power source, slamming Wendell and the guards to the far end of the hallway; Ari charged after them brandishing the glowing blue bladed sword.
    Shane examined Leslie and saw the red glow of the Allyant seed’s influence.  Quickly he began to assemble the protection glyphs in his mind when Leslie’s eyes snapped open and a voice that was hollow and not her own began to address him.  “I see the magic of the Elios has been rediscovered.  I wondered if it would occur before I could control the lumen of this world.  I cannot see what your companion is up to but he will soon die as he is fighting an Allyant with a score of lumen hosts.  You have come too late to rescue the fair Mademoiselle Coeur she is already mine.”
    Shane looked down the hall and all he could see were flashes of blue and red as a monumental magical battle seemed to be underway in the hallway beyond the cell.  Still using mastery to construct the Shield glyphs Shane completed the needed sequence.  “Something you should be aware of whoever you are.  My friend down the hall is not just anyone, he is a Sicam and this conversation is over.”  Shane imbued the glyphs and a golden shield surrounded Leslie cutting off the link between her and the controller of the Allyant seed.
    Brenner stood in shock.  He had withdrawn the host links from all the guards to preserve himself the twenty men that had been selected because of their lumen potential for him to draw upon lay slain up and down the hall.  In desperation he reached out to leach the lumen from the powerful fighter facing him and the shield he encountered caused him to shudder.  Brenner’s legs became weak, he was about to draw upon the host he had in Yllyan when a golden shield surrounded him and his link was lost.  Falling to his knees weaker than he had ever felt in his life Brenner suddenly recalled Wendell’s memories.  The feared Stafford stood before him with a lumen sword that was more powerful than he could have imagined – Only a Great One could stand against such as this , he thought to himself.  Then it was over with a flash the blue sword removed his head; all that was ever Wendell Sapp was gone and the only remnant of Brenner was a sliver of thought twenty five hundred miles away.
    Shane was struggling to keep the shield glyphs up as Ari walked into the cell.  Seeing Ari he made the glyphs visible.  “Write these down on the bed frame and activate them as fast as you can,” Shane gasped.  “Add a power glyph too I need it to be self-maintaining.  Let me know when you are ready.”
    Ari hurried and fished his scribe from a holster on his belt and as fast as he could he etched the glyphs onto the metal bed frame adding a sun glyph for power.  “Ready,” he nodded as he added lumen to the glyphs and activated them.
    Shane released his glyphs took a deep breath.  “Ok she has been exposed to an Allyant seed and while it’s not as bad as Lumen poison it can become lumen poisoning very quickly.  I need you to look into her and you will see a red lumen and a white lumen.  The white lumen is her, the red is the Allyant seed influence I need you to put a shield around the white lumen like the shield that you have naturally around you as a Sicam.  Hold that in place while I isolate the Allyant seed and remove it.
    “That’s Glyph mastery, I don’t know if I can do that,” Ari said with worry.
    “We don’t have time to write it down.  Ari, Think!  You’re the best detailed planner I’ve known.  Image the glyphs in your mind like they are part of a plan and each glyph is a phase.  Visualize each phase as a whole and then imbue it and hold it until I tell you it’s safe to drop it.  Hurry it up we’re running out of time.”
    Ari closed his eyes and cleared his
