Preface:
Well we were as ready as we were ever going to be. Katerina was beside me poised and ready with her element. Demetri was at her right with the earth shaking beneath his feet. Zendeya was on his other side with fire visible around her. I stood facing Amarie and Atonius. Atonius turned and planted a kiss on Amarie's cheek; for brother and sister they were beyond bookoo gross. Rory ran up to the circle we were about to cast with the spices and the dagger. She gave Demetri the lilac, Zendeya the sage, Katerina the baby's breath, and she handed me the dagger. She took her place beside me in the circle and we were ready for a fight.
