127 - I shall be generous

Meras decided I should be removed to a safer place while the search was conducted and escorted me to my Father since it was safest near Him. He was on His feet, pacing back and forth, angry but not at me or someone close to me, so less frightening."When they find the intruder I'll make Him pay for frightening you, my minimal! My minimal!

126 - As they tore my rooms apart

If I was lucky whoever that was... most likely a Mahid... hadn't seen the last of the door close.My breath was caught tight in my throat and I opened my mouth as I climbed, the book bag scraping the back of the shaft. My gloves caught and slipped and I nearly ended up on the bottom of
