Esdel was slammed against the stone wall of an alley that hid between the towering building of Elantris. The young duke's head bounded of the wall and he shouted out in agony. A hand of a much stronger resveld wrapped around his neck, the other man spoke in a horse-tone. "I know who you are, I know who your father is." Esdel began to shake, his ability to breath was cut. He was grasping for any air his lungs could get in, unable to get any words out. The young man's eyes began to tear up and he couldn't tear the man's hand from around his neck. Kicking his feet and trying to wiggle out of the grasp of the man, the man over powered the young duke tightening his grip.
