The first big problem was the shield spell on Stephan, but she assured us, she d almost perfected the spell for its removal.

Life s dangerous.She gestured at me, at Laylen, then at Alex.I mean, look at us. We re neck deep in danger all the time. It s who we are and I think it s time we start embracing it. Personally I liked her speech, but Alex rolled his eyes.So what?
