"Alora, tomorrow is your first day in the council. Are you ready?" Griffin asked.

"But what if Prince Magnus isn't around? Then, who will save Alora? As her friend, that responsibility will lie with me," Griffin affirmed, smiling as if he achieved something bigger.
"No one will bully Alora. They won't want to face my wrath," Magnus proclaimed.
