I play defense with his younger brother who I doesn't get along with well, but we don't blame each other for anything, because they know teamwork doesn't work when you put blame on other teammates. We were up three to one against the East Grand Forks Badgers going into the second period, but we didn't play well at all that period so we let in four goals.

Jewel panted. Her voice lost some of its bite. “If I let Tiberius or Alexander make me angry enough, I will.” Laurel shook her head. “She’s holding back a horde of mardocs. Her energy is at the breaking point as it is.” “We have more wood crystals,” said Ti. “Laurel, do you know where my trunk is?” “On the platform.” Lead me to it.
