After the explosion, something inside me suddenly stirred again.
It wasn't just a random feeling either. The sensation crawled along my skin like a cold breeze slipping through armor. It was danger. Raw, suffocating danger pressing in from all directions at once. The kind that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
Are they planning some kind of massive assassination attempt?
The thought flashed through my mind almost instantly. My body moved before the question even finished forming in my head. I dropped down from where I was standing, landing hard while scanning the area at the same time. My senses stretched outward, searching for the locations of anyone attempting to attack the Queen.
And there it was... the murderous intent.
It poured into my senses like smoke filling a room.
