A second yell by George has him running towards him and he spots him in the Great Hall. Keldarion contemplates killing him but refrains because he knows Ezryn would disapprove.

As Keldarion decides to spare him and just scare him away, he watches George plucks a rose from within the briars. Kel becomes angry because the few flowers still residing in the castle are the little bits of hope for the cursed princes and represent life. He decides to no longer offer forgiveness or humanity and leaps over the railing and circles him while in the shadows. He calls him a thief and says that he will be punished. When George responds by asking Kel for help to find his wife he says to leave and be grateful that he still chooses to spare him. George falls to his knees in front of him and pleads for help. Kel slowly walks forward to him into the light, still in wolf form, and George realizes that he in trouble and tries to scramble away.
