"Thanks Zachary" Sarah was all smiles as she checked herself. Her body was so light that she felt she could fly.

Her bones and body have been crushed into smithereens by now"a voice sounded as the dark shadow materialized." Are you sure about that?"zephyr said still unconvinced. He of all people know the tenacity of his niece, calling her the most stubborn of his brother's children wasn't an exaggeration at all, he didn't believe she was one to die so easily like that."
