The journey that should have taken over an hour, Lorna managed to cut down to thirty-five minutes, racing her beloved motorcycle to the gates of Hetfield's Homestead to drop Morwenna off.

The pair made a beeline for Norbert's room, but their path was abruptly blocked by several unfamiliar bodyguards in the hallway.

"Move!" Morwenna's voice was hoarse with urgency.
