Without her

Morning came soon after. Evie had not stopped trying ways and means, but to no avail. The blasted barrier remained strong and unbreakable. Evie had even called upon her dragon to pour forth dragonfire on it, but nothing happened even with that move. Everything was just futile.

"Princess, please take some rest now." Zolan had finally approached to stop her. He was worried that she might overstrain herself in the efforts of trying to break the barrier.

Evie clenched her fists tight at Zolan's interruption. She was aware that nothing was working so far, but she did not want to give up. She was angry at Gav's high-handed methods in doing things his way, but most importantly, she was worried about Gav himself. She must be there for him! No, she needs to be there! Now that she has grown so much stronger, she can now fight alongside him. She cannot let what had happened in Dacria repeat itself. She refused to be hidden away while he was out there fighting all by himself!
