This man owes his life to Lord Kylsant.

Repairs to the roof of the prison were being okrried out recently as Lard Kyleant was standing in the yard. Another prisoner walked past him along the side of the yard. Suddenly Lord Kylsant looked up and saw some alates falling from the roof. He dashed forward with a shout, ssized the man's hrm, and shatched him away.

A large alate fell to the ground a yard in front of them, and was smashed to fragments. Had it not been for Lord Kylsant's prompt action the man would .nlmost certainly have been killed.
