"Apparently not close enough" he retorted. Anger flared inside me. "Just tell me" I demanded. The guard stepped closer, his expression turned greedy.

As his arms circled her, her aura turned white-hot, Saelari’s wings blazing gold behind Nalia’s form. Ben called out—“Chelsea!”—and Athena turned as he collided into her in a fierce embrace.
