These are dense and fast and entirely businesslike, and within approximately forty seconds the training ground looks like a botanical garden had an argument with everyone in it. Liviel blurs into motion, her wings snapping open in a desperate bid for speed, but Hilbert’s vines are faster. She tries to dissolve into a crimson mist to slip through, only for the vines to sprout inward-facing thorns that pin her membrane. Hilbert "sorts" her to the side with the casual efficiency of a clerk handling misdirected mail.

Asia was filled with bewilderment, how could she have misunderstood him like this, what did she do. He even had an accident and almost died yet she treated him so badly all this while. Her mailbox was filled up with his messages, couldn't she have given him a chance to explain first. Him being persistent should have rang a bell in her mind that if he had someone else, he wouldn't bother himself sending her messages almost everyday. Asia's eyes were filled with so much remorse and tears just rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably. Chris

Nothing else could do such a thing to him aside from the land he loved so much. He stared at the dirty brown earth, the rows of grapevines supported by a trellis system.

Her last glimpse is a tableau etched in fire and blood: Serena bleeding against ancient stone, one hand reaching out toward her. Lucas screaming her name, the sound distorted and distant. And Evangeline watching it all with the serene satisfaction of a chess master who has just revealed a gambit years in the making.

At first, I was under the impression that those spike bushes were back or thought that the old and familiar traps had once again emerged. Only another new one popped out. Or.. Popped down.

These nasty creepers attempted to crush us to death, so we backed off like instant reflexes. An unmarked imaginative line separates us from being hugged by these tendrils. It even had the courtesy to set an example as it pulver

Onscreen, the reel paused, flickered And the codenames appeared on screen: Act I: Petal Act II: Persephone Isolde stepped back, as if struck. Vivienne’s voice broke the silence. “They wanted to make you.” Dorian’s jaw clenched. “Who did?” Vivienne stared at the flickering projection. “The Composer.” Isolde leaned against the wall, breath shallow.
