“Protect it from whom?”
“From everyone. From the outside world. My grandfather used to say that if someone with the wrong intentions discovered the altar, the consequences would be catastrophic. That the seals separating the three realms would weaken.”

I looked at the guardian and saw his eyes gleaming behind his glasses with an intensity I recognized: hunger for knowledge. Silas could look like a harmless bookworm, but when he smelled new information he became as relentless a predator as any of my guardians.
