<p> Arawn shook his head. "That's not where I was going with this, though it may for the defense if we get that far. I was trying to determine if anything odd went on that night, if anyone might have done something to keep you away from your father the night

pull the knowledge for our own use and then follow the clues from there.</p>
<p> And as a magically inclined community I imagine magic such as Akasha may have been used during the initial investigation. Not that I'm against you casting it but it might be worth comparing any investigative notes with your own discoveries. But that's
something to be brought up before Silaius Duke."<br>
