"Clance..."Blake called out her name before pausing... "I need to grow stronger. Today, I was basically useless. I couldn't break that thing's barrier, and I could not even defend against that magic attack. We only survived because you were there. How am I supposed to protect my family and my people if I can not even kill one of those things?" Blake really felt weak. He could only watch on while Clance did all the work.
